DSL TC Showcases / Pepsi and his DSL robots

« on: February 10, 2015, 02:05:11 AM »

So this is my DSL 2.1 showcase.
Don't play this mode much as I'm super used to Square Extenders but w/e.
First off is an Idea for Battlebots X

Its name is CRIKEY!, 798.0 kg, normal npcs
back tail acts as a scrimech/stabiliser.
two versions.
One were its mouth starts like in the top right, goes back at the same angle of top middle and comes down, acting as a clamp, other is opposite, acting as an axe.

I like the first way better but the second is more effective.

this may seem dumb but we're not allowed crusher motors for battlebots x are we?

A 4 Way Melee, where the top two robots go through

Qualifying/Elimination

The 8 Robots that qualify are put into a ranking system, with the winners being ranked 1-4th and the 2nd places being 5th to 8th. Then the 1st on the ladder plays the 4th, 2nd plays 3rd. The winner of those matches get a bye while the losers get a 2nd chance. Meanwhile when 5th plays 8th and 6th plays 7th, the losers are eliminated and the winners play the losers of 1-4 the next round

Semi Finals

The semi finals are the losers of 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd matches and the winners of the 5th v 8th and 6th v 7th playing

Preliminary Finals

The Prelimary Finals see the winners of the top 4 matches playing the bots who have gotten through the semi finals

GRAND FINAL

The grand final is the easiest to understand. It's the two winners of the Preliminary Finals playing.

Custom Components Showcase / P3psi Co. Custom Robuts

« on: January 30, 2015, 06:27:16 PM »

Yeah so I decided to make a showcase.
putting it on here due to the fact I'm using a pack with a crap ton of mods,
even though some robots aren't using modded components.
So to start off I have two robots.
The First is Pizza Cutter.

It's some sort of Crusher Flipper Hybrid, not amazingly effective but if it gets a robot at the right angle it can do some work.
All the Extenders there are to make sure it doesn't become immobilized.


Next is Confetti, a Spinner which goes around its whole body.
Very Destructive but struggles turning while spinning it's Blade.

General Support / Just another AI question

« on: December 27, 2013, 08:15:36 PM »

Hey guys,

just wondering if it was possible to AI a robot to reverse into other with rear mounted weapons (Spikes saws etc) without changing the radius to make it face the front?

Thanks.
