that chassis is tall. i believe you can make the bot work with a much less tall chassis, and work on empty space.

Stock Showcases / Re: Hoppin's Bot Showcase« on: November 28, 2016, 03:01:11 PM »A way that you can self right is get rid of the baseplate anchor and replace it with a blue snapper then add the stuff you had on the old robot as well as self righting it boosts the weapon speed. >implying he can selfright with a bursted motor and 80kg or so on the selfrighter No. What you need is to selfright with the spinner. No need to waste weight on three bursts just for self righting purposes. Axe blades are also bad for spinners in general, mostly because they have normals (they only do damage with the axe blade). They only really work for rammers/pokers in Stock. Use iron spikes. Also that is not irl... there are no weapon supports, the disc is floating in space. But no one builds IRL in stock, really. 463

Battletoads. Couldn't even beat level two.
Currently I'm playing through Dark Souls (the first) but the game isn't too hard... learning the system was a pain, though. 464

it looks good, with one problem : the disc color doesn't go well with the overall color of the bot.

pretty good. i like the outside armor. those wide af wheel constructions seem like a waste of weight to me compared to how they add to the aesthetics of the bot.
i'd maybe remove two wheels from each wheel construction, add a vertical extender so it can self right better and maybe a few spikes on the outside extender armor. 467

not wide enough of a wheelbase to work. it's not going to trap anyone and just be reversed/lose it's treads.
seriously those treads are so exposed. as i said, make the wheel base much wider. 468

Other Tutorials / Naryar's Guide to Robot Types and Subtype Classification« on: November 22, 2016, 08:11:43 AM »
This is how we at GTM classify robot types. Or at least, an attempt at doing a classification.
What is a robot type ? It's simple classification of bots via the type of weapons they use. As in, horizontal or vertical spinner. Also, to help newbies to understand and use the same words for the same design. Because not everyone knows what is a complex HS/poker hybrid. Bot types are indicated in bold letters. Also, a bot can have several classifications starting by @, as in a HS using flails and a shell is known as a flail shell spinner. Or, if you put it in a way, a biological classification of robots! To find a robot type, you first need to find to what category it is in. The categories are Static Weapons, Spinning Weapons (spinners), Burst Motors and Pneumatic Pistons (pokers). Those categories should be obvious. Then read within categories. -STATIC WEAPONS (your robot has weapons powered indirectly by drive): *Your robot rams the opponent, back-and-forth: it's a Rammer. *Your robot pushes against the opponent: it's a Pusher, or a Wammer if it has a sloped front and is designed to go under opponents. @Your robot has a V-shaped weapon rack : it's a V-shaped rammer/pusher @Your robot has lots of weapons on a relatively small space : it's a focused weapon rammer/pusher @Your robot has wedges but no sloped front and the chassis doesn't get under bots : it's a wedged rammer/pusher (not to be confused with wammers) *Your robot spins on itself horizontally: it's a Sit and Spinner (SnS), or a Thwacker if it has a single, long weapon arm *Your robot spins on itself vertically: it's an Overhead Thwacker -SPIN MOTORS (your robot uses spin motors to power weapons) *Your robot uses horizontally spinning weapons : it's a Horizontal Spinner (HS) @Your robot uses a bar : it's a Bar HS @Your robot uses a shell design : it's a Shell Spinner @Your robot uses a tribar : it's a Tribar HS @Your robot uses flails : it's a Flail HS @Your robot uses flails and a shell : It's a Flail Shell Spinner *Your robot uses vertically spinning weapons: it's a Vertical Spinner (VS) if it has a narrow weapon, or a Drum if it has a wide weapon, or Sawbot if it uses sawblades @Your robot uses a bar: it's a Bar VS @Your robot uses a tribar : it's a Tribar VS @Your robot uses a disc or a replica disc: it's a Disc VS @Your vertical spinner is not straight : it's an Angled VS @Your robot uses it's vertical spinners as wheels : it's a Crawler if it has no wheels, or a Half-Crawler otherwise *Your robot uses small spinners on discs, pointing forward: it's a Face Spinner (FS) *Your robot uses drill-like weapons on spinners: it's a Drill for somewhat complex weapons, or a Chicken Drill it is is simply a spike on an extender *Your robot uses small spinners on top of the body, to grind at a bot's bottom: it's a Juggler if it has several spinners, or a Top Spinner it it has only one *Your robot uses spinners that are neither horizontal nor vertical: it's an Angled Spinner -BURST MOTORS *Your robot uses weapon arms to throw opponents around: it's a Flipper, or a Weaponed Flipper if it uses damaging weapons to do so *Your robot uses short weapons bursting out of the chassis to hit the underside of the chassis and kill opponents: it's a Popup if the weapons fire from the back and travel towards the front, or a True Popup if they fire from the front and travel towards the back. *Your robot uses weapons on long arms to damage the opponent: it's a Hammer (or Vertical Hammer) if they swing from upwards to downwards, or a Side Hammer if they swing sideways *Your robot uses weapon arms to grab the opponent and/or control opponent's movement: it's a Clamp @If the weapon arms move vertically : it's a Vertical Clamp @If the weapon arms move horizontally : it's a Horizontal Clamp @If the weapon arms have additional powered weapons on them, such as spinners and saw: it's a Dustpan -PNEUMATIC PISTONS (your robot uses air-powered pistons as weapons) *Your robot uses pistons to damage : it's a Poker *Your robot uses linear actuators to control or grab opponents : it's a Clamp too. Refer to the burst motor part. -OTHER *Your robot is two or more bot types at the same time : it's a Hybrid. *Your robot is not classifiable by the above : it's a Freak Here. Feedback appreciated. 480

do i see irl hybrids allowed ?
fyi, an hybrid is a bot that has two very differently working weapons, aka, two bot types in the same bot. https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Bot_types https://wiki.gametechmods.com/index.php?title=Hybrid |
