Somebody should make a LW top-bot for BBEANS :P
I'd try that, but I can't think of a way to give it controlled movement without going too far away from the idea of it. It'd lose the appeal (for me) if i had to add wheels or some such. Plus, i'm too lazy to go through another 20 designs just to get it to kinda work lol.

Thanks guys :D. Good luck on the flails. If i remember right, i tried a version with flails and couldn't get it to balance with spinning. Another thing to think about, it only seemed to work if the dual perm was way up and the hammers were at the bottom. I tried about 20 different setups before finally getting this one. But, let's see it if you get it to work.

Couple ideas:
1. You can code your py to fire the piston a short interval after the burstmotor (hammer).
2. You can attach a SZ to the piston that will move/swing with the arm, and fire only when an enemy is under it's pointytips. (BFE)
3. You can see if you can get a legit return from "self.GetMotorAngle(CompID)" - This returns the angle of a motor in radians, but I've never tried it on a 'burst' motor so not sure what you'll get back. If you get a valid return, then since the angle of the BM is adjustable, you'll also have to play around to find out where you have the parameters of the burstmotor set for your bot's application (start position, and fired position [in radians: 0-6.28]).
Here's some basic coding adapted from a servomotor:
self.burstangle = self.GetMotorAngle(Component ID) [/color]#Find angle of burst motor.
if self.burstangle > ?: #If angle of burst motor is beyond it's 'start' position (by whatever amount),
self.Input("Fire_1", 0, 1) #Then fire the piston.
uhmm...whew...i'll try and figure it out. thanks for the input. Should've pointed out that i'm currently at the state of feeling an accomplishment when i choose the correct py to go on the bot lol. Talk to me like i'm 5 maybe?

Hoping you guys can help me out here. pretty new to ai'ing, but getting the hang of it. However, i can't seem to figure out how i can ai my Ka'Dargo bot correctly ( https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=3572.15 ). I've gotten it to where it fires the hammer at the right time, no problem. The problem is getting the piston attached to it to fire at the right time. I want it to fire just after the hammer swings, and only fire once per hammer swing. As it stands now, they both fire at the same time, and the piston constantly fires the whole time the other bot is in the smart zone, which keeps the hammer from retracting quickly. Any ideas? and thank you in advance.

Use a Storm burst, they have 22 (!) times more hitpoints than VDMAs.
Well, that reallly sucks then, because i can't use storm bursts. everytime i do, the bot falls right through the floor. Is it just my installation?

Next up: Ka D'argo   6 ants 8 razors on a piston powered hammer, metal hinge wedges. Biggest problem: the piston gets knocked off too easily if it gets hit. Best part: the piston firing helps the hammer to retract quicker.

Directly under the dual perm is the ME it's attached to. it's got a blue control board, the 4 ME's attaching the hammers and in between those is a baseplate anchor with a pointy tip facing down. Nothing custom in there. In fact, the only custom parts i even have installed in the game are an anti ballast for SHW's and a soundboard that plays the 1812 overture for a 'replica' i did of a DRD from farscape.

Someone has way to much free time. That is the strangest bot I have ever seen.
Free time, oh yeah. insomnia can be a blessing. I'll post some more 'traditional' bots some time in the future, but for now...long night at work and very little sleep yesterday = Insomnia loses this time... and yup, reier, that was the very video i was speaking of. thanks :)

So, why not.... This was inspired by a video i saw. Grog had been flipped upside down and was balanced on his top extender, spinning like a top. I thought it might be fun to build. It wasn't. took forever to achieve the balance, but i finally did it, and so i give you DOOM DREIDEL  features: A TON of empty space and an overly large chassis. Couldn't get it to work any other way. but work, it does. No controlled drive. Just hit the switch and sit back and watch. Underweightness. Again, couldn't get it to work otherwise An impressive loss record against Grog due to the fact that Grog doesn't get across the arena before Doom Dreidel gets counted out. Some hilarious moments where Second Sentinel flips him into the air and he comes smashing point down on top of him. and a complete inability to fight in any tabletop matches.

It's little 'bit annoying that some new members play only Arcade Games and doesn't post to forums...
Example: yoda9726 & Runeslice1
Why does it bother you? just curious. I've been reading these forums for awhile now, and everything i have to say already has been said. I figure it like this, i could just keep quiet, or i could repeat what has already been said. I see no point in option two. That being said, I enjoy the games, but if it bothers you that much, i can find other games to play. no biggie, guys.

Sorry, guys. i'm a long time lurker here, just don't post because i don't have anything constructive to add. Should've posted a long time ago, however, if for no other reason that to thank all of you for the info i've gleaned from here. i'll be taking all my scores back though, just you wait...
