Thanks for teh input Pwn, but i'mma have to remake it. It gyrodances way too much to be fair, even if it does just KO bots by landing on them and flailing them to death. :P

Duh. 175 kg > 120 kg. Heh, suppose so. :P Anyway, generic LW HS complete with cheap flails. ;D  Armour: Plastic 3 Drive: Astroflights Power: 3 Ants Weapon motor: TW3MR Weapon: Pretty obvious, OMG IT HAS DE FLAILZ. I know some people hate flails, I iz sorry. ;< Just thrown together in about 10 minutes, stupidly destructive (but then it's a flail spinner so hardly suprised). Got some leftover weight which in all honesty i'm not sure what to do with, was trying to think of a way of protecting the TW3 but it eluded me; then again the disc knockback is big enough to protect it anyway. The DSL teeth work surprisingly well, keeps things away from the motor but not out of reach of the flails. The skirts aren't really supposed to be wedges, they're primarily there for stability. Can...kind of right itself after a few seconds...sometimes. It's more just pot luck. The flails go 180, but don't intersect the DSL teeth so realism is fine, apart from a tiny issue with the hinge/axle things ever so slightly clipping the chassis. The razors are angled with the point up so they never touch the chassis. /awaits the flail/bad building skill related insults. :P --------- OT: Hai Somebody! :D Yeah I remember, had alot of stuffs going on IRL then; but back nao, nice to see you again. :P

Tried both, and must say Medium Beaters + small DSL's turned out better than large beaters. Gonna stick with the first, since I had some weight left over I managed to re-upgrade back to Alu too, which is a nice bonus. The damage increase from irons to Mediums and DSL teeth is stupidly high (I didn't know beaters and DSL's worked so well o.O) and the nice thing is even if the teeth drop off the beaters are still there to do damage/give me a 1500 hp shield.  Had tiny weight left over which I couldn't spend on another spike/battery etc, so I upgraded the skirts underneath from Alu to Tite; cuz I can. :3 EDIT:  And I still had weapons left? Am I seeing right? Beater bar/DSL teeth combo is awsum k.

Wells, based on your feedback, FOTEPX...  Dropped two ants, as well as the middle Alu skirt underneath to polycarb. Changed the extenders to poly, which allowed me 18 Iron's. Tried irons since I just didn't like how fast razor's were being ripped off, specially now i'm running Poly extenders. Result? Looks less stealth bomber-y. ;< Charged into Locknut and I didn't lose every one of my weapons! \o/ Actually managed to take the sledges off him, as well as RED ALERT, which is an improvement no doubt. Still don't like how open it is when some of the middle iron's are gone though; but at a weight limit so. :P ---- OT: Welcome reception is welcome, thanks guiz. :3 @Sypher. Tbh man, i've never been able to hate. :P @Badnik. Hiya, and thanks. ^^ Lol, was viewing some of the old topics and my name came up in one of the nostalgia ones. I was never great at building, but r0b0 said I was apparently a builder with potential, so I guess I had to come back. ;D

Thanks FOTEPX, I'll give removing the wheel protectors a go and see how it fairs; probably would do better as an AI that can actually drive rather than in my hands where I'm whizzing all over the place. :P
The ants I could remove, will give that a shot too and see if I can find something else to blow the weight on.
Thanks for the advice about the baseplate, but i'm a little more knowledgable than average I suppose in the sense that I already know. :P What I meant is when the NPC's take hits, they slow down, turning the pusher/rammer into a turtle with razor tips.
Poly carb extender I'll try also. You'd be surprised though, how fast I get de-weaponed by things like sledges bearing in mind that Razor's only have 400 or so HP; tempted to try Pointy's or Iron spikes tbh.
----------------
Hai Scrap, thanks. ^^
Yeah I was, but a) for some reason I managed to lose the vast majority of it like an idiot, and b) back then I was a terrib-...MORE terrible stock builder than I am now, so tbh i'm not going to make an effort to get it out again. Although i'm looking at a DSL pack some time in the future assuming the new DSL which i've heard about isn't being released too soon; but really need to get back on form before then, specially nao with the likes of Nar AI. ^^
I did finish the stock AI pack though. :3

Ohai, I'm back! ;o Those who don't remember me, (not that I was particularly well known anyway) I was a member of GTM which joined what's possibly over two years ago. I was around for about two or three months, then real life issues kicked in and I dissapeared from the forums and pretty much abandoned RA2; which I had played for a year or two prior to joining. I've been moping around the forums in secrecy recently though, using the offchance that I get to fiddle with RA2, and have decided that now things have calmed down I'll give it another shot; being older and wiser, well maybe not the latter... For those that don't know me. Ohai, i'm new. :3 Anyway, been trying my hand at DSL since I never was good at stacking and fully taking advantages of the stock glitches which you needed really to be competetive; so bear with me.  This is 'Slow Response', a middleweight rammer which I made not so long ago. Power: Four ants (overpowered I know). Drive: Two fast NPC-T64's. Armour: Don't quote me on this, but I think it's Tite 3 or 5 (sorry can't remember, I iz useless. ;<). Weapons: 16 razors. Built it last night, has a skirt hinge with 3 40cm Alu skirts folded back underneath to serve as mediocre gut-ripper protection (not sure if this really confides with realism, please do say xD). Wheel guards are mainly there since I can't drive; it's way too fast and I end up inevitably getting flanked at some point, (and I don't want wheels being ripped off :P) although they do work nicely as stabilisation also, and stop it getting stuck on it's back. Pros:-Invertible -Angled razors to help damage wedges -Long battery life -Can take quite a few hard knocks Cons:-Relatively exposed motors which generally end up getting hit once or twice -It can be outweaponed by heavy weapon users such as Lock-nut and RED ALERT; rare but has happened. -Whole thing's basically built on Aluminium extenders which are easy pickings should I get outweaponed. ------------- On a side note, apologies if any of what I post is a major klone; but like I said, I haven't been around for ages, so don't know what other bots are flying around, so don't bash me too hard. *hides* :P And also I know DSL building here follows a degree of realism which I try to follow (not having things go through batteries or anything else that isn't possible IRL), but exactly how far? For example is eFFe'ing acceptable as long as the result confides with the realism rule? I know the NPC's aren't very realistic, but it seems everyone else does it so... meh. :P - Jet

Sent a message to the Forum Administrator for help.
After a day! had passed, I recieved the message!
Now up to today, Upon trying to activate it, It says there is a problem with the 'activation'!
Anyone think they have an idea what i'm doing wrong? Help will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou in advance.

Carrying on! This is: Iced out!   Drive: 2 HP's. Weapon motor: 2 HP Zteks. Power: 1 Black Battery. Overveiw: This unusual Middle Weight is rather wierd. Its body is mounted high from its stading position in the hope it's harder to reach for the mean HS's out there! Despite this, It's still fairly easy to destroy as the weapon has a tendency to 'flip' the whole opposing robot over the top of itself, leaving Iced out's unprotected back to be mauled. Only hope this bot has it to pin it against a wall (which is surprisingly effective) and grind at the underbelly. All disadvantages aside, this bot is unique for me, and does well under the correct surcumstances.

Common guys! I wanna get this forum active again! Anyways, left RA2 for a while, so lost my touch a bit. But now i'm trying out the ol' bot building again, let's see what happens. First up is: RipTide Toad   Coming from my themed team: 'The Creatures from beyond!" Comes RipTide Toad. Drive: 2 RADS. Weapon motor: HP Ztek (think that's how to spell it, correct me if i'm wrong). Power: 1 Black battery. Overview: Quite a destructive bot for its weight class. Can be dis-armed quite quickly though is the enemy gets around the spinning blade. The weapon itself is large compared to the rest of the robot, The extenders, motors and wheels are out in the open, but the blade doesn't normally let anyone get close without loosing a few wheels.

Seems ok. Although I don't like the usage of 'cheat' parts. Although If you're using it for fun, No harm done

Good to see others joining. I am just coming back to these forums and I hopefully want to start a stock showcase (anyways, sorry for the ramble)! As for your bots, there are so many for me to comment on! Don't know where to start. However, they all look very sturdy and weapons look effective :P thumbs up from me!

Nice bots! You know how to make effective weapons. The only critique I have is that you don't use all the weight available to you on the heavyweights. For example, you could upgrade T-One's drive to E-teks with a little chassis adjustment and it would be a whole lot better.
You are aware, though, that T-One was a flipper that did quite well in the BBEANS tournament? Thanks! yeah I know I don't really make the most of extra weight. And yes I did, I read about BBEANS alot on both gametechmods and the official forums of RA2 but I had completely forgotten about it at the time I had made the bot. I could change it if you wanted?

Right then this is the bot that wrecked-angle turned into...Please welcome Tri-Mangle  Drive:Two NPC's (Fast) Weapon Motor: Dual Perm Power:Two PC545's+two ant batteries The newest bot in my collection. Heavier and stronger than its predessor. With a dual perm powering the weapon this new bot is a tough one! With its hits ranging from 1500-4500 this is a force to be reckoned with...
154
« on: May 11, 2007, 10:32:08 AM »
Nice bots. Firstly Hayuken. If it is possible, try and downgrade to one saw but upgrade the motor powering it...It might be possible to use a Dual Perm. Secondly in my opinion that is too many batteries I highly reccomend you shrink the chasis so you have more weight to put on a killer weapon :wink: Also, are those front wheels really neccesary? If you can manage without them. scrap them for less weight.
As for Tsatsuken. That is very underpowered...good that your using the Dual Pem though. The weapons on the shell though...Um how can I say this please get some better weapons on there...and fast. And lastly for the stabillity problem, try and mount the motors higher up so that less of the wheel is touching the ground.
Phew! There...I think thats all :D
155
« on: May 10, 2007, 12:02:04 PM »
Yeah I suppose I could try that I'll recreate it...see what happens.
156
« on: May 10, 2007, 11:48:40 AM »
yeah I have tried that but by the time it had spun up I was pinned up against the corner.
157
« on: May 09, 2007, 01:46:02 PM »
Right. Next bot...this on wrecked-angle. I'm rubbish at naming. Similar to Lock Nut but a heavy weight version and with it comes unimagionable destructive power.  Drive:Two MagMotors Power: Four Battlepacks Weapon motor: Six mag gearbox spinning three 60kg sledge hammers...Nasty! Easilly destoyed the junk bots in a minimum of five hits ten at most. Awsome to watch as it tears its enemies apart! :twisted:

hey thanks I will be posting a few more pictures in the not too distant future. As for your question I took a few ideas from your Ultimate spike beetle bot and click beetles microfuge. Alough it doesnt look much like your bot I took the flail idea and general design from both of your bots. (hope you don't mind).

Hey hey hey calm down there is no need to act like that! Ok Dragon Ninja said something you didn't like...so what just ignore it and get on with those pictures. This is supposed to be a calm place...not one where insults are flying around left, right and center. I rest my case.

Thirdly...I would like to present T-One  Weapon Motor:Two TWM3R Drive: Two TWM3R Drive Power: One orange+3 Battle packs A mean Drum bot...alough fairly slow it can get the job done. The idea is to catch the bot up against the drum with the armour on top and then drive into a corner and grind away at their underside untill they go down. On multiple occasions this technique has proved very effective. Coming in at fourth is Mr.Red My first bot with DSL I might add :D  Weapon Motor:Two Mag Snappers Drive:Two MagMotors Power:One orange+2 Battle Packs My first DSL bot...Well armoured front ready for any assult via spinners. That combined with decent flipping power makes this bot quite good if I do say so myself.
