Just noticed it's DSL 3.
Well, I'm out.

Made a clamp. Probably going to be my BB7 entry.  Clamping opponents is a huge risk considering it sends the nose of the bot flying upward, but it works. Most of the time.  Insides:

DSL builder. Anyone wanna give the newcomer a chance?
You know what S.H.I.E.L.D, why dont you and me team up?
Sounds like a good idea.

Hmm.. maybe you aren't powering the bursts with enough batteries?
Still, move the burst up and back a little (if you can). Yeah, weapons do have normals and you can't just put something on something and assume it'll do damage, I'm glad you understand that. However, if you fiddle around with the positioning or angling of a weapon component, you can get it to do damage, normals or not. You could probably put a couple of spike strips on that 2nd flippermaker you have there and angle it so that when a bot drives up your wedge, they'll run into that and do damage.
Also, if you're doing this for BB7, you don't even need to use weapons. If your bot survives a match against another bot, Domination is pretty much the determining factor of a win or loss, which means as long as you're constantly flipping the other bot you're doing pretty well.
If the arena allowed bots to OOTA opponents, I'd probably remove the beaters. But, that won't be possible. As for the dominating, going by judges decision is a huge risk for me and I'd like a way to do some damage.

Then put them outside or rebuild your chassis ?
Tried rebuilding the chassis, can't make one unless its enormous. Putting the motors outside only allows the opponent to knock it off.

Put 2 bsg's, not one.
If you want to make damage, make a popup.
Can't angle the burst motors right.

Little teaser for my BB7/future IRL competition MW, in reference to beating SoJ and Enforcer:
Gonna make a cop bot for BB7

You still can't get extender work right... fine I'll help
The rear extender work can be replaced by one 40cm skirt or maybe 2. You flipping arm is also too long.
also the judge burst is not only a cheat piece it is also far too powerful for a LW.
Any other motor is far too weak to lift anything...
because you keep putting crap on your flipper. Use a green burst, take off the beaters because they look ugly and they're messing up your flipper's strength and goddammit naryar Judge bursts are used very often in IRL building, even in LW divisions, though it's not really necessary.
The beater bars aren't there for looks, they're there so that Riptide can actually do some form of damage, and I doubt I have enough spare weight to add another green.
And was wondering about that, does Massimo allow Judge bursts in LW's?
Yeah, I knew that but there are better ways of making a flipper do damage, if your flipper is good enough it doesn't even need to do damage and I meant replace the judge with a green.
And yeah, Massimo allows judge bursts in LW's and I'm sure many IRL LW tournaments allow them too. But don't just use judge bursts because "other motors are too weak"
How? I can't just add spike strips, normals. I added in weapons because most of the bots these days are mostly invertible or can self-right, I probably would've ditched the beaters had there been a way for flippers to OOTA opponents, but sadly that won't be possible in the Battlebox. As for the green, still not enough power. A JX isn't enough either. And don't worry, I only use Judge Bursts for slippers.

That is some crazy extender work, hah. I like it, despite that.
Hope it ain't too messy for BB7. Time to work on my fail of a lightweight...

Updated Storm, decided to name it Hurricane 2 instead. Do I need all these extenders though? Backlash didn't need this much support.

Would like to see Hurricane VS Robot.

Could use more.
But is it IRL enough for BB7 as it stands?
2078
« on: May 24, 2013, 10:09:43 PM »
You only need 4 ants. That will let you get atleast aluminum supports.
But the question now is, is it enough or does it need more extender work?

« on: May 24, 2013, 09:38:49 PM »
Updated.    Don't have anymore weight to play around with, had to switch back to Plastic 1mm, removed an ant or two as well.

Whoa, you don't know if it'll be DSL 2, yet. For all we know, it could be DSL 3.
I really hope it isn't DSL 3 tbh. It just seems so much harder to make decent IRL bots due to ants being nerfed and the lack of a multiextender. And due to the unbalanced-as-**** DSL bars, it would just be DSL VS spam everywhere.
