New builder here, and probably not a very good one (yet?). I've only had the game for about three weeks, running DSL mod only one week. So, you're going to see a whole lot of bots that'll probably get turned into scrap in about 5 seconds.
My personal preference is to try to build reasonably realistic bots. Therefore, I don't know anything about glitches that could allow me to make uberpowerful bots.
So here's my first DSL bot, "RECORD BREAKER" (because of how easily it can be killed):
(http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/7797/rcrdbrkerni4.png)
It's durability is horrific even though I've used 1mm titanium armour. If the weapon isn't "in use" (in other words, me holding on the buttons to operate the weapon), the bot can _barely_ even move. Basically, that means I have to rely on bots getting close to my bot so it can fly around (by using the weapon like some sort of helicopter blade... o_O).
-
No wonder your bot cant move, here is what I found:
Too heavy weapon motor & weapons compared to the strenght of the drive.
Just 1 Ant batt!?O_O That is not even enough to run 2 of your drive motors for 1 minute.
-
Whyachi tribars are much more durable for their weight, and also, take out the ant battery and put a red one in there. You have the weight. A bot like this would be good in stock.
-
Piglet motors are bad for drive. I don't know why, but if you use even the smaller motors than those, they will drive your bot much better.
-
Piglets are weapon motors - they have much max speed but less torque. Less efficient for driving.
-You need some more battery power. This is UBER underpowered. Add at least a red battlepack.
-That chassis is too big.
-That weapon does look too powerful for a LW. And the morgensterns are very high, you'll have trouble with flat bots like Biohazard or undercutters like Cleprechaun or Hworf.
-Change the drive motors. Use Astroflights or DRIVE Magmotors.
-
That's actually a great weapon for a LW. An E-tek is nothing to scoff at. You just need to improve the drive (Astroflights would be good) and battery power.
-
Reviving the topic from the dead, here's another one of my lightweights: "NARROW LO@D". It's very obviously inspired by the style of WIIDE LOAD, but it's adapted to lightweight classes. This bot also happens to take a page from Ninja Assassin...
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4584/screenshot37xn9.png)
-
i like it, but dont the weapons hit the ground? and your extender setup is heavier than it should be.
-
Yeah, the weapons touch the ground when I spin up the weapon motors, so the bot becomes very unstable when attacking or driving very quickly. Maybe I should use drums and "beater bars" instead of drums+spike and ninja star?
-

just put something so that the weapon doesnt touch the ground.
-
Hmm...
You'd be better with 4-5 ant batts, and also Sage's right, you could just attach each piglet to 1 flipper part and 1 multi-extender. Maybe some motor armor for the Piglets...
-
From the junkyard of 765 Destruction Co. rises another lightweight.
"Blue Bird", a LW dual-saw with an OK wedge. It can get under SCOUT fairly well. It's quite unstable when turning at speed. Weighs 247.4, but I'm not sure what I can spend those last 1.2 kgs on :/. Anyways, if the bot gets under someone and pins them, the bot can do very nice damage, but it can't take more than two or three well-placed hits. I was heavily inspired by one of MikeNCR's saw bots and BOT-205. If you look carefully, there are 4 ant batts, not two.
Edit: This bot is actually invertible, but the saws must be driving, or else it won't move.
(http://i39.tinypic.com/357qdg7.jpg)
Pros: Decent damage / wedge
Cons: Flips on it's side easily / Very bad armor / No self-righting
-
When only 1 or 2 kgs are left, it really doesn't matter. Nice sawbot..
-
Well not too bad.
If you go under Scout, that's a great wedge, not a decent one...
However, saws MUST be protected on a sawbot, else a HS or SnS will destroy you, and getting flipped on it's side easily is really bad.
-
nice bot, but please try harder to be less annoying
-
Less annoying? I don't get it... some kind of inside joke from the forum or something?
-
Hes just being annoying to you new people. You'll get used to it.
-
he means stuff like:
"From the junkyard of 765 Destruction Co. rises another lightweight."
Just sounds kinda stupid actually.
-
I have to agree.
-
It doesn't sound stupid to me....
-
Sounds like he has a sense of humour to me...
-
Another LW robot from me, "Do-Dai", but I should of called it "POS".
Is it a wedge? A pop-up? A rammer? No...
It's a worthless piece of s***! Yeah, it can get under Slashback and Scout, so what, anything with the hinges and a small wedge/emergency flipper could do it, too. But what's the point in a nice wedge if your weapons are worthless!?
247.3 weight / 4 ant batts / 3 mm plastic armor
(http://i43.tinypic.com/14nd5xl.jpg)
-
What is actually wrong with it? Such as, what happens that makes you hate it so much.
-
A wammer? (wedged rammer)
I'd use razors and hypno wheels. My best LW is a wammer and uses them (wedge is inferior to yours though)
-

I treat all my bots with the same hatred.
It suffers from the same problems as all of my other bots.
It only takes a few nice hits before it dies.

I had used razors before switching to the irons, but their durability is bad for my driving. I play very aggressively. Also, hypno wheels might reduce/takeaway the invertability I loved in my older build of Do-dai (a small box with the same drive and batt setup, but without wedges, with titanium extenders + irons and WAY stronger armor- 10 mm plastic!!!)

I had used razors before switching to the irons, but their durability is bad for my driving. I play very aggressively and do not care where I hit the enemy so much as long as I hit him. I only care if I hit him hard...
Treating your bots with hatred is a good way to improvement, if you keep trying. Nothing is perfect but the vision of it being perfect.
Try a few test fights. It could be more the extender's fault then the actual dark spikes. Use a lighter kind of spike and use the left-over weight to use better extenders or improve armor.
Might not work, but it's an idea.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16344torch.JPG)
4 ants, perfectly invertible, 3mm titanium (i think). Lower wedge is a metal hinge one.
Destroyed Lock Nut and DOAM with it. And you can bet i drive aggressively with that one...
-
Another bot from me, once again a LW, "Mai the Slasher".
(http://i44.tinypic.com/9gel2p.jpg)
It has a decent wedge, and shares a similar chassis to Do-dai. The snowplows are configured with one multiextender attached by a flipper segment and polycarbonate extenders. However, because the extenders are polycarbonate, if Mai is hit from behind or above, Mai runs the risk of losing one or even both snow plows. In typical takatsukiyayoi fashion, Mai also sports the weakest armor of all- 1 mm plastic. Also, Mai's behavior when attacking vertical spinners can be described as rather 'jumpy': Mai will bounce backwards on impact with a disc/saw, giving the rival a perfect chance to completely violate Mai. Ninja Assassin and to a lesser extent, BOT-205 are the ones most likely to do this...
Rumor has it that Mai has managed to rip off BOT-205's motor with only a single hit, but it has only happened once.
[size=-2]
Technical Data:
4 Ant Batteries
2WD TWM3R (Drive)
Mini Wheels
Weapon: Two Samurai swords powered by a BSG-200 burst motor
247.9 kgs
1mm plastic chassis armor
Hit range: 10~250
Biggest hit: 600+
Main points:
+ decent wedge
+ wide frontal protection
+ adequate power
+ has a srimech
... motors
... wheel choice
- slow
- fragile chassis and extenders
- relies almost entirely on snowplows for stability
[/size]
-
it has a bit of free space, maybe you can get some side protection or something.
you can even move the batteries forward more and use a multi-extender at the back with an extender coming off it to prevent it from tipping over backwards.
-
Batteries can determine weight distribution?
Never knew that applied to RA2, that will definitely solve my problems with Bluebird and Do-dai.
-
i mean you can make the chassis smaller and move the batteries to the front then put the extenders on the back.
-
Whatever the case, I moved the batteries to the front and the jumpiness is much less...
-
i can be helpful even when misunderstood :)

A "team" that is a work-in-progress.
"TEAM IREM" is a team whose robot designs are loosely based on the company IREM's game series, "R-TYPE". There is no really particular theme in the type of robot designs; although R-13 Cerberus and POW Armor are both intended to be face spinners, R-9 is a poker/thwacker "hybrid".
TP-2 POW Armor
(http://i44.tinypic.com/1ze9lsm.jpg)
First on the lot is the lightweight bot, "POW Armor".
He utilises two iron spikes powered by Piglets, to use the "chicken glitch". Originally he did not have a skirt hinge, but he bounced backwards when hitting other bots. Personally better to have a 'redundant' skirt hinge than to bounce backwards, in my opinion?
Technical Data:
4 'ant' batteries
2WD SLIMBODY
Hypnodisc wheels
Weapon: Two chicken drills
Weight: 246.6 kg
1 mm titanium chassis armor + 1 40x40 DSL BAR for front protection
Hit range: 10~?
Highest hit: 100+
Main points:
... Decent weapon damage
... Decent speed
- Cannot get under other bots from the front very well
- Not invertible
- Fragile weapons
- Highly unstable
R-9 Arrowhead
(http://i44.tinypic.com/n1uv40.jpg)
Second is the team's middleweight, R-9 Arrowhead.
His chassis looks a little bit like the "real" R-9 Arrowhead in the R-Type series. It looks cool, but in reality the RA/DSL version of R-9 is a somewhat awkward thwacker of sorts. For some odd reason, poking isn't always a very effective weapon use. But at least he looks cool, right?
Technical Data:
3 battlepacks and an ant battery
2WD NPC-FAST
Tornado wheels
Weapon: Two DSL HAMMER 2s, powered by a VDMA piston
Weight: 395.9 kg
3 mm titanium
Hit range (poking): 40~?
Hit range (thwacking): ?~400+
Highest hit (poking): 250+
Highest hit (thwacking): 500+
Main points:
+ It's fast
+ Durable weapons
+ Can be used two ways
+ Invertible
... Chassis shape is unusual
- Huge chassis award
- No skirt or metal hinges for skirt panels
- Huge wheels
- Inconsistency in delivering damage
R-13 Cerberus
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2vvqo74.jpg)
Last but certainly the one that fares much better in it's class than others, a heavyweight face spinner, R-13 Cerberus. With 10 spikes on the two discs and 3 iron spike drills, plus 4 razors, R-13 Cerberus might be something of a problem for newbies. His design allows for some gutripping ability with some bots! However, he gets exhausted quickly.
He cannot KO most bots within the 3 minutes. Due to his design, sometimes he can gradually overturn a bot, and cause the other bot to become immobile. That doesn't stop R-13 from being powerful while it can, though.
Technical Data:
4 battlepacks and six ant batteries
2WD NPC-FAST
Tornado wheels
Weight: 791.2 kg
5 mm titanium
Hit range: ?~150
Highest hit: ?
Main points:
+ Weapon constantly does damage
+ Durable weapons
+ Decent "wedge"
+ Lots of weapons
+ Can gut-rip
... Decent speed
... Poor invertability
- Low battery life
- Big chassis (same as R-9!)
- Virtually no side/rear protection
- Not durable for it's class
-
I think the individual piglet driven spikes pretty much make the disks redundant.
-
Not always: the individual spikes are often the first weapons to be ripped away. Against bots like Industrial Coal Miner and WIIDE LOAD, almost all of the spikes are useful. The disk spikes rip away at the frontal weapons, while the individual spikes will damage the external armor for the enemy bot (if there is any). As the damage to the other bot racks up sometimes they end up driving up R-13's spikes.
But that doesn't matter at all, because against bots like Shebeast and Mako, R-13 is like a little schoolgirl.
-
Ok, but I think you should bring the disks forwards a bit. Do they always do damage against every bot they encounter?
-
Most of the DSL HWs just *barely* fit between the individual spikes and the front disk weapons, so effectiveness is surprisingly good (but not good enough to be tournament material).
-
You'll never know...

The all-new TP-2H POW Armor II...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17929newpow_2.JPG)
Face spinner with gut ripping capabilities, and it's way better than the mega-lame TP-2.
Only one problem:
1mm plastic.
The R9 Arrowhead was also updated to "R9-Aii Arrowhead DELTA".
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99405newr9.JPG)
Same as the TP-2H but in MW R9-looking form.
Very fast...
-
Sweet LW, don't worry about the armor as long as its well-protected.
As for the MW however, does it wobble a lot? And you can still tighten the chassis to upgrade wedges/armor.
-
LW : you can get rid of these plastic extenders and there's still empty space, but pretty nice.
MW : battery overkill, 5 ants would be enough. As well as a good bunch of empty space (if you want to keep the fancy chassis it's fine, but it will save weight if you tighen the chassis and it will fight better) and you can directly attach your weapon motors to multi extenders, as well as using magmotors rather than piglets.
And Pwnator the wedge is fine, i'm not even sure if he needs alu sheets that large... and 1mm Plastic is a bad idea if someone manages to get under him...
-
Oh cool. I've had bad experiences with FS using metal hinges, though. XD
-
battery overkill, 5 ants would be enough
Even with 3 battlepacks the power towards the end of three minutes tends to be very scarce...
-
Even with 3 battlepacks the power towards the end of three minutes tends to be very scarce...
Battlepacks have the exact same total power as ant batts.
-
Ant batteries give you the same amount of power as battlepacks, just over a shorter time span.
-
i like the chassis of cerberus/ R9. very re-usable.

TP-2H Pow Armor II gets a components and armor revision:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6018tp2h-rev.JPG)
Technical Data:
3 ant batteries
2WD TWM3R Drive (open)
Vladiator wheels
Weapon: Four spikes on a disk
Weight: 248.3 kgs
3 mm plastic + two 80 cm titanium skirts for frontal armor
Hit range: 20-???
Highest hit: 250+
Main points:
+ Gut ripping!
+ Speed
... Decent wedge
- Poor armor
- Exposed drive motors
- Highly unstable if turned over
- Has no srimech (other than driving backwards against a wall)
-
You can attach the motors immediately to the multi-extenders if built well.
Also, if it can't srimech, make it invertible or leave it as is. It can still do some nice damage while upside-down.
-
TP-2H got rebuilt again, now as TP-2M Cybernova.
What happens when you use two NPCs instead of two Drive TWM3Rs on a Face Spinner!?
CARNAGE.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95023cyber-nova.JPG)
Technical data:
3 ant batteries
2 NPC 'Left's
Tornado wheels
Weapons: Four spikes on a disk
Weight: 247.8 kgs
1 mm titanium
Hit range: 20-???
Highest hit: 350+
Main points:
+ Gut ripping!
+ SPEEEEEEEED!!!!
+ Motors no longer exposed
... Decent wedge
... Invertible
- Very poor armor
- Unstable if turned over
- Has no srimech
-
nice bot
could make the chassis smaller.
-
Don't worry about its srimech. If it can do some carnage while inverted, then fine.
I like it. You can squeeze in the parts some more, though. :D
-
If I had the weight would NPC-fasts be overkill? ;)
-
Yeah. You don't want it to act like Rage III. :P
Besides, my LW rammer uses the same drive as yours and it's already fast as heck.
-
Taking a break from evolving the FS TP-2 series, here's my first ever pop-up, built for my little sister. This is one of her more used bots besides TP-2M Cyber Nova (I still fight LWs with the "older" TP-2H Pow Armor II.)
Meet Ayu the WedgePopup!
Okay, she's no Slashback, but still OK for a LW pop-up.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89805ayuthewedge.JPG)
Technical Data:

2 TWM3R -DRIVE- motors
Hypnodisc wheels
Weapons: Two razors powered by a "Snapper Burst" motor

Highest hit: 800+
Main points:
+ Wedgy!

- Poor weapons durability (2000 Hitpoints total)
- Not really quick
- Name sounds like one of those annoying anime girls

- Name sounds like one of those annoying anime girls
HAHAHAHAHA.
Actually, that's already quite an awesome popup. LW popups aren't meant to be that quick so don't worry about the speed.
-
HAHAHAHAHA.
In fact the same can be said for my username...
-
I like the popup.
-
Gyroman didn't even last half a minute against POW-Armor.
RIBBS, is this your best? Hahaha
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58936rtypepow-beats-gyroman.jpg)
-
Gyroman, in my opinion is the weakest in RIBBS pack so far.
-
...That's cause it's the LW. =P

Meet my first and only SuperHeavyWeight, B5-C Platinum Heart:
He was designed originally for Clash Cubes 2, but I thought it would be the SFTW of the tournament, so I never entered him...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/882b5c.JPG)
Technical Data:
19 ant batteries
2 E-Tek -DRIVE- motors
Overkill wheels
Weapons: 32 iron spikes on 16 polycarbonate extenders attached to 4 discs
Weight: 1194.7
3 mm aluminum
Hit range: 150-?
Highest hit: ?
Main points:
+ Fast
+ If the wedge works, it goes under a lot of things
... Invertible
- Not durable extenders
- Wedge sometimes goes under floor
- Exposed motors
- Empty Space
-
You could add a snow plow if you used battle packs instead.
-
SFTW? Don't be so hard on yourself, dude. Your FSes is better than my FSes. :P
-
thats not bad, but if the wedges are going through the floor its one of 2 things
1: Its at too much of an angle
2: the collesion mesh on the skirt hinge is screwy. You'l have to replace the skirt hinge. that happened to me with decoy
-
reminds me of Doomkillers Trap Master entered in Clash Cubes 2

The protagonist from the little-known Japanese arcade game known as "Mr. Heli" has traded his helicopter blades and shoes for a set of wheels and a Son of Whyachi inspired weapon.
TP-3 Mr. Heli - Horizonal Spinner Prototype
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15919tp3-mrheli.JPG)
Technical Data:
2 ant batteries
2 Slimbody motors
Generic mini wheels
Weapons: 3 standard 30 kilogram sledge hammers on a "tribar"
Weight: 247.9
3 mm plastic
Hit range: 100-?
Highest hit: 450+
Main points:
+ Fairly durable weapons
+ Hits fairly big
+ Decent battery power
- Extremely unstable (weapons rotate so fast it **LIFTS** the front)
- Speaking of fast rotation, it's slow to start up a spin.
- Weak armor
- Name sounds like it came off a kids' show
- Slow
- Unstable
- The driver sucks at driving
-
Those drive motors are actually Astroflights.
Reduce the empty space and also make the tribar smaller. You can use the leftover weight to add another ant battery and maybe switch to slimbody motors for drive instead.
-
The robot is unstable at this size - do you know how much more unstable it will be if it were smaller?
-
less empty space.
more external stabilizers that will help in armor too.
grippier wheels as well, like wide ant wheels.
-
Over the last few hours, the TP-3 series has gone through some renovation and redesigning. These proof-of-concept robots are developed with increased stability in mind.
TP-3a Mr. Heli II -Clash Cubes Lightweight Concept-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75407mrheli2.JPG)
Although Mr. Heli II has shrunk in size, his weapons have not. Another ant battery was added, as well as small aluminum skirts which protrude from the corners of Mr. Heli enhance stability slightly. The biggest changes, however, are the externally mounted drive motors and the change from a TWM3R to a Brushless Piglet. As a result, he is now much faster in drive, but his weapon seriously lacks the nessessary hitting power. He is fully capable of beating "Ribbs" Gyroman3, but just simply cannot deliver the killer smash.
BW-TP-3b Mr. Heli III -Beetleweight Horizonal Spinner Prototype-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89003mrheli3.JPG)
By simply swapping the SoW-inspired tribar weapon with a simpler DSL bar and mace system, the speed of the weapon increased dramatically. Everything else in this rendition of the little helicopter remains the same as Mr. Heli II. His competence in the BW category is questionable, but here he stands a much better chance at winning compared to the much heavier counterpart.
-
I like the BW better. Whats the armour for that?
-
1 mm steel is used on III, 3 mm plastic is used on II.
-
After Mr. Heli III got his ass handed to by Microwhirl of the Arthrobotics team, Mr. Heli has gone back to the drawing board with his weaponary.
TP-3c Mr. Heli IV -Improved Beetleweight Horizonal Spinner-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38174tp3c-mrheli4.JPG)
This revision of Mr. Heli has decided that all jokes are off. He's come out practically with guns blazing! He now sports a spike strip and his DSL bar weapons are now two spiked clubs! Mr. Heli may be a tiny bot - but this little guy AIN'T going down without a lot of kicking and screaming. Too bad he's not that stable once he loses one of his clubs. He's kind of slow to get back on his feet if he flips over as well... not to mention the classic 1 mm plastic TakatsukiYayoi seems to love.
-
Use Astroflights instead of Piglet motors for drive. How stable is the bot after it delivers a hit? For some reason, it looks really unstable to me.
-
It's actually kinda quick with Piglets. I guess Naryar was right when he said these were okay in the sub-weight classes.
-
Hmmm... try this. Use the spike strip's other attachement point and stick it directly to the wedge instead and attach the plastic extender to the middle of the bar instead. See if it can self-right better.
-
Naryar's gonna explode when he sees the piglets for drive. You better censor those quickly, or better yet, change them!.
(I think he meant that they're okay for weapon motors)
-
Astroflights are lighter so use them for now.
-
My first VS.
Designed for an upcoming AI pack. One team has a "stoner" theme, which this bot belongs to. Is also a pisstake on RIBBS' very very powerful SHW vertical spinner.
SO HIGH -Vertical Spinner Prototype-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83434sohigh.JPG)

Generic DSL Wheel type 2 Wheels
Weapons: 8 razors mounted on a standard TWM3R hollowed 100 cm disc
Weight: 248.8
3 mm plastic
Hit range: 100+
Highest hit: ?
Main points:
+ Hits fairly big
+ Semi-invertible
+ Small chassis
- Extremely unstable (weapons rotate so fast it **LIFTS** the front)
- Weak armor
- Slow
- The driver sucks at driving
-
I like it. You could easily not use that baseplate anchor by using a baseplate extender and just rotate the long extender off of the side of it. Doesnt save you much weight...
-
Was I hallucinating or did Inf just say he liked one of my bots?
-
No it really happened i saw it to. Although it doesn't mean nearly as much i like it to.
-
you have a lot of power inf... if just saying you like something causes people to think they are hallucinating. lol.
-
Dude. Inf is like, one of the best builders.
I am a foolish, incompetent, and clumsy anime schoolgirl in comparison.
-
Wait, what about anime schoolgirls?
Nayuki the Spinner -Flail Horizontal Spinner Prototype-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59976nayuki-the-spinner.JPG)
Technical Data:
2 ant batteries
2 Slimbody motors
Generic Mini Wheels
Weapons: 8 razors mounted on axle mounts and 100 cm disc, powered by a standard TWM3R

1 mm plastic
Hit range: 300+
Highest hit: 850+
Main points:
+ HITS OVER 900!!!!
+ Hits a lot
- Fragile weapons
- Weak armor
- Slow
- Difficult to drive
She can destroy nearly any lightweight in the NAR DSL AI Pack, and can totally raep Lock Nut. For an anime schoolgirl, she is quite powerful, do you think so?
-
I'm liking it! I am really liking it. One improvment I could see is to ditch those wheels, and try to get more gripier ones. If that isn't possible, then looking pretty good.
EDIT: S.T.C... No one is faster, than the spider!
-
darnit,you beat me to it urjak lol

Indeed. Especially if one possess a Death Note :P
Anyhow, I'm loving those bots dude!

Not too bad, I really like the sawbot :-D
However, with that popup, u are underpowered, and underpowering bust motors is a no-no. Change the armour to 1 mm tite and put some more batts in
Otherwise, Nice
-
I don't see how your sawbot isn't wedgy. It's using a metal hinge, right?
And your popup's pretty nice. Could be a possible BBEANS 6 entry.
I haven't had much luck on wedge-shaped hammers before. Rammers usually break off the arm before I could KO it. But you're the one with the bot. XD
-
Looks like someone's been taking ideas from Nary's building.
For the first one, maybe you can use lighter skirts on the lower wedge and see if you can get a more durable weapon/better armor.
And for the two others, it look like you have some empty space in them. Trim the chassis down a bit.
Overall though, I like them!

Another one, this time a heavyweight.
RX Albatross -DSL Side Hammer/Face Spinner Hybrid Prototype-
(I seem to love slapping on "Prototype" to every designation don't I?
(http://i36.tinypic.com/vih8hy.jpg)
Specifications:
Three PC545s and an Ant battery
2 NPC-fast motors
Techno Destructo wheels
Weapons: 18 razors on two MagSnappers
-OR-
10 razors on two Piglets
3 mm titanium
Hit range: 300+
Highest hit: 1800+ (as a thwacker)
Main points:
+ Gut-ripping!
+ Good wedge

- Shouldn't it be a thwacker if it's so effective that way?
- Driver fails
-
Schweet. Try fiddling around with the drive and burst placement so you can have a smaller chassis. With that, you could probably add some protection or something.

TP-2C2 Pow Armor II Evolution -Small Face Spinner Evolution Type I Model-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/40110pow-armor-2-evo.PNG)
The next logical evolution in the long-running series of TakatsukiYayoi's/Team IREM's POW Armor series of models is an excerise in minimizing space as much as possible. This newly developed model puts a much stronger emphasis on damage, noted by the new weapon/wedge breakers mounted just off to either side of the main weapon, as well as replacing the durable iron spikes with superior Glass Cannon-esque razor tips. This allows for the bot to score knockouts with improved ease. Alongside the revised weapons system, the original TWM3R Drive motors were traded in for the wider TWM3s, which allow the TP-2C2 to take a much wider stance than TP-2H or TP-2M, improving manuverability... and making this version of the POW Armor series one of the largest targets ever. FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
Specifications
Power Source: 3 Ant Batteries
Drive: 2 TWM3 motors powering Slipperbottom GrannyGuards
Primary: 4x spinning razors on a DSL disk, powered by a Piglet
Secondary: 2x static razors on two seperate polycarbonate appendages, unpowered
Hit Range: 30-250
Maximum Hit: 300+
Main Points:
+ Tiny, tiny chassis.
+ Greater damage.
- Underpowered.
- As wedgy as a big-breasted girl.
- Massive target.
Competitive Tier: Low Tier

kewl. If you use Vlads then you can upgrade the razors on the sides to Irons.
-
The goal of TP-2C2 was to improve damage output.
Irons were originally considered, but get this: 300 DP.
Compared to the razor tips, which have 420 DP and weigh 3 kg less. They may be less durable, but most lightweights, rammer and poker types aside, aren't exactly too durable anyway.
Oh - and the Bydo are mine. Not yours. But that is a topic that is for another time.
-
It's great to see you back Yayoi! I missed you a lot!
-
- As wedgy as a big-breasted girl.
O_O
You could still change to Vlads, but if you want to keep the razors, you could probably change the extenders to small/medium beater bars. Also, 3 ants isn't underpowered. You got it right. :D
Also, I miss your showcase. Nice to see you back. :D
-
Maybe to help the wedge, replace the skirt with a small wedge on 2 flipper segments; same weight for strangely more wedginess.
-
It does look good. But yes, might follow Ounce's advice.
- As wedgy as a big-breasted girl.
HELL YEAH.

OK. And you can have the Bydo Army back. I was just keeping the throne warm for your time away from GTM.

Kill 'em Cute
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57328killemcute.PNG)
Initially engineered as a standard fare vertical hammer-based attacker, the narrow stance did this robot very few favors in exhibition matches. However, by redesigning the weapon systems to fire upwards rather than downwards (think FireStorm from Robot Wars but with spikes), damage output and stability ratings went through the roof. Interestingly, the razors, which are used for this firing mechanism, double both as weaponry and (rather fragile) frontal armor. While this novel design certainly gives it promise, the novelty is exactly just that and sadly as of a result, per TakatsukiYayoi fare it is simply incapable of going toe-to-toe with more contemporary lightweight combat robots.
Specifications
Power Source: 4 Ant Batteries
Drive: Two NPC-Fasts driving two Mini Wheels
Primary: Upwards swinging razor spike (x5) panel lifted by a single BSG-200
Secondary: Not lifting the razor spike panel
Maximum Hit: 300+
Armor: 1mm Titanium
Main Points
+ Razor spike panel saves weight by not using dedicated armor
+ Primary weapon doubles as a secondary when static
- Rather fragile, though
Competitive Index: Joke

Welcome back Takasukatayakisutkaatyaki!
-
Welcome Back! I would make the wedges smaller and strengthen the extenders holding the weapons.
-
Nice to see you back :D
Nice bot, quite like it.
-
I like your bot. I like how you just fit it all inside that LW chassis :P
"Competitive Index: Joke". Wait, what?
I think that compared to many contemporary lightweights, this bot uses gimmicks and damn trickery in order to be anywhere nearly as effective. Many pop-ups, including beetleweights, I bet can easily out-wedge this bot. Times have advanced quite significantly, and I have not kept up with the latest in cutting edge (no pun intended) of pop-up engineering techniques. Also, while the offensive capabilities are extremely high for it's novel design and weight class, the defensive side has been severely compromised as per Takatsuki-Yayoi tradition. The wedges, for instance, are polycarbonate, whereas many more modern wedges generally use aluminum or even titanium should durability be a concern (which it isn't for me, apparently...). Also, the chassis is both large and structurally crappy - 1 mm titanium is sh** armor in any class beyond beetleweight.
Anyway, why do I see stock miniwheels on the motors? :O
I read somewhere that mini wheels x NPC-Fasts are better than Hypno Wheels x TWM3Rs. Again, novelty.
I have 300 posts? This is madness!!! <gets kicked down a bottomless pit>
-
DK is back too. :O
-
@Somebody: LOLWUT i was only gone for a week XD
-
Why isn't Naryar noob-whacking me ;_;
-
He's on break and it's a good bot. Nice to meet you.

Really doom I haven't seen you forever IIRC...

My Predictions:
Mr Heli: Good weapon, nothing more.
F*** you.
TP-3 Mr. Heli (EX-ver)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8412misterheliex.PNG)
What is the first thing that comes into mind, when the name "Mister Heli" appears? If you said, "A cutesy helicopter", you'd probably be right. Unfortunately for some people, this specially rebuilt version of Mr. Heli is anything but cute. Armed with a massive steel bar, massive "egg-beaters", and four dual-sided teeth, the word "cute" is this robot's berserk button. All the power comes at a cost of stability though, and with something this small, Mr. Heli is more like a breakdancer than a helicopter.
NOTE: For those of you that think this breaks the realism rules, the bar does ***NOT*** clip the wheels.
Specifications
Power Source: 2 Ant Batteries
Drive: Two Astroflights driving two Ant wheels
Primary: TWM3R-powered Bar spinner with Beater Bars and Light DS teeth
Secondary: Flailing about
Maximum Hit: 200+
Armor: 1mm Titanium
Main Points
+ Spins super fast
+ Capable of super-high hits
- Super fragile
- Unstable
Competitive Index: Joke

needs 1 more ant battery.
-
UNDERPOWERED
EDIT: Curse you nary!
-

Not sure where I can fit one more. Even if I could, then the bar would clip through the control board's location.
-
You might want to try a piglet.
-
You might want to try a piglet.
Weight is the smallest issue... I have a too small chassis to really fit three Ant batteries + control board.
-
I liked its secondary attack as "flailing about". Should probaby be more balanced if it's to be effective.
-
My Predictions:
Mr Heli: Good weapon, nothing more.
F*** you.
IT'S BECAUSE I'M WHITE, ISN'T IT?!?
About the bot, change your weapon motor to a piglet, add some more ants, and swap the LDSL Teeth for some beater bars (they're less fragile).
-
You might want to try a piglet.
NO! Piglets are a havok bomb. As are copals. Avoid them unless there is no other option.

But I did give some decent advice. :P
-
Oh man shut uppppp everyone
Post moar bots, make me happy. BW looks good but pretty unstable of course.
-
Drop one of the drive motor and use 1 NPC Left Fast + 1 Micro wheel.
2 multiextend + 2 Astralflight + 2 wheels = 56kg
1 NPC left fast + 1 micro = 50kg
Move forward using FBSPlus.py. You can find examples of this in 123AI.
-
How about you test it in a 3 minute fight and see if it stays powered. If it does, there's no need to worry.
-
I only need two Ants, truthfully, by the time it runs low on power it'll already be dead anyways. lol
-
Your motors start off spinning slower than if you have 3 ants, that's the problem.
-
Truthfully from what I've seen using the bot, it already spins way too fast with two ants - I don't think three will be any better for anything but extra longevity.
