Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

[Vertigo]

That looks spectacular.

^That's what I thought as well.^

It tends to be spectacular in 2 ways:
1) When it works it deals spectacular damage.
2) When it doesn't it tends to fling itself all over the arena in a spectacular way.

You are reaching the level of the original Vertigo.

[Pwnator]

Sacrifice some rear armor so you can get metal hinge wedges in there (hopefully they won't AGOD). To get rid of the flippy thing, and some stabilizers to the front (take a look at Undeadbeat in NAR AI, though that may be a poor example since it doesn't have a rear stabilizer as well XD).

Is that good or bad? I'm guessing good! :P

OK, I'll try that.

Is that the hammer motor beta or the one with a crapload of torque?

EDIT: Ok its the hammer one. I'm liking this showcase...

Auto Destruction 2:


Titanium 5 still, now 4 battlepacks, much more stable & thus, much more destructive!
However, not as much armour, no tite sheets on baseplate & no wedge!

I'm liking this showcase...

Thanks!

[Stagfish]

try adding a metal hinge wedge

[Vertigo]

I'll try again stag, but I don'treally have the weight.

[Stagfish]

Maybe swap the DSL bar stabilisers for poly extenders stabilisers

Not really because once the stabilisers are gone, the robot is practically useless.

Robots atack the front not the back

[090901]

I would use Tite sheets for that.

[Vertigo]

Robots atack the front not the back

Yes, but when I swing the hammer backwards it would tip over backwards.

I would use Tite sheets for that.

I'll try that on my next version.

[Virus Bomb]

You might want to flip your plows over so it does better at trapping.

[Scrap Daddy]

looking good vertigo

[Condor33]

That's an awesome bot, the only thing I would worry about is poor hammer acceleration with all that weight on the arm.

[Naryar]

It's a Beta geared, hence a spin motor, hence the bot only really needs 5 ants.

Also you might want to increase hammer range.

I'll try that but then it would be easier for other bots to get underneath it.

That's an awesome bot, the only thing I would worry about is poor hammer acceleration with all that weight on the arm.

It isn't really, but with 2 70kg hammers, as long as it hits the other bot with a reasonable swing then it doesn't really matter.

It's a Beta geared, hence a spin motor, hence the bot only really needs 5 ants. I'll change battery setup then.
Also you might want to increase hammer range. What do you mean by that?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

It is a spin motor which can only rotate 180 degrees.
Hammer range= how long the hammer is.

New bots:


Bulldozer 2,
20 ant batts, metal hinge wedges, npcfasts with hypnos, plastic 5.
Really good wedges & much more flipping power than the original.



Whirlpool,
2 ants, plastic 5.
My first ever SNS so I ealise that this isn't the best (but I hope not a  either :P)
Hate SNS! So boring!



Whiplash v8.0 (previous version posted as Scraper v7.0 (urgh,horrible name) which was entered in TTT, page 2 I think)
npc fasts with hypnos, plastic 5, 6ants, this time metal hinge wedges!, 2 bsgs
much better than the original (still hope that it does OK in TTT though :P)
wish that I made this before entries closed
