"Warning; you have died at least 180 days ago." Having two showcases just doesn't feel right, though. I'm too insignificant for that. NEW BOTS ANTICIPATION  Personal favorite, sadly the wedge is sub-par.  But it shouldn't be. What am I doing wrong here? Also it can't self-right (but it could if I'd let it flip a little higher) and the damage is pretty low. Titanium 3.  It's rather unstable but also fun to drive, currently the entire hammerstick is made out of beater bars, is this in any way good? Also it was made as a test for the new burst motor stats. Plastic 5.  Remade the taxi, it's actually more weight-efficient thanks to the new extender work (thank you, oh glorious Naryar!). Still think I could somehow get one large battery in there instead, though, as they were buffed if I remember correctly. It's still invertible. Aluminium 3 or 5, I sure hope aluminium gets buffed in DSL 3.  Started out as a replica of twisted metal, halfway through I collapsed and just made a LW HS instead. I'm in love with the new sawblade skins. It's invertible. Titanium 3.

Oh man, wishlist time! Here's mine;
- Removal of casters as they're not really seen on bots too often, or at least make the casters more mortal.
- Snap motors which have two buttons so you can let attachments swing two ways (probably hard to balance since it has basically doubled utility compared to single-way snap motors but what do I know).
- General UI improvements, buttons, graphics, stuff that people could easily do themselves but would be nice to be included by default. (softer gradients, a bit more modern style overall)
Edit: Not sure if this is already in the beta, I can't quite tell, but I'm also suggesting the removal of the inverted controls whenever you're on top of another bot.

Bold Defiance - 3mm alu (boo) - npcf - 3 ants
yeah let's see how it can unstuck itself with one piston.
I like how it doesn't focus all of its weapons on the center of its front.

A famous forum guy over at fok.nl once said that all who steal should be castrated then killed. Luckily, I have no balls nor a life, so I should be fine. Presenting a replica of one of MikeNCR's unnamed MWs;  Little Mike. Next up is a static popup with crappy wedges and bad wheel placement;  Polesei. More coming soon-ish. Expect more rammers and shamefur repricas.

Raise the slider to the max height, then click just below the bar. You'll get Groovy Taxi's chassis height.
You'll have to redo the entire thing though, and you can BFE it rather easily with notepad++ but then it'd be illegal to enter in tournaments.
Alrighty then, thanks for that tip.
I figured clicking was more effective than sliding but the whole click on top first part blew my mind.
Redid it in top speed (super sanic one minute speed).
Surprisingly clean.
Here's a screenie;

It's one block too long now, so the beater bar was lost.
And with that a portion of its effectiveness.
I'll rebuild it once more tomorrow.
Thanks again for telling me that trick!
Here's Mundane Taxi 2, for comparison purposes.  Mundane taxi 3 will stay more faithful to the brilliant original, with an empty top without any scratches. I'll try to get a tornado vibe going on with frames, scratches and such on the sides.

No sylandro, just no.
Can we see what you have for the LW Razer ATM? Maybe you can shave some weight somewhere.
I've redone the LW Razer, it's now light enough but ugly and dissapointing. ('s a box with skirt hinge and killalot claw+m.snapper on top) On an unrelated note, how did you get groovy taxi that low? Is there a way to edit the .bot file to get my replica just as low? It's currently just a bit too thick to be invertible. It's annoying me to no end and I don't want to have to redo the entire thing. pls halp ;~; Merry Christmas.

getting there
try having the weapons like you did earlier:
(Image removed from quote.)
but replace the light ds teeth with beater bars facing backwards/sideways as you did just before now
and with the extenders, try doing this sort of thing:
(Image removed from quote.)
or swap the bar for extenders if you want. you should also drop the armour to plastic 3
 This is the closest I'll get to that. I had it all fixed up- but then it decided to crash. So screw it. I give up. This is the final iteration of Brutula. Unrelated notes; I've been working on an lw razer with the sir killalot claw, but it always ends up being too heavy. What's a good alternative?

IT'S HAPPENING
..right? It hope it's still happening. I'd love to see a new layout.

almost :P
try and have the extenders reach towards the bar from the corners of the chassis(ish) and have the weapons in a u shape around the flipper segment
 Couldn't do double extenders and had to remove two front-dsteeth due to weight. Oh well. How's this look?

you could get rid of/replace the small beater and replace the iron with something (another beater maybe?) and you could do with some alu extenders or something reaching across to the bar to act as supports
 So... this?
73
« on: December 14, 2012, 03:19:52 PM »
looks pretty cool to me, maybe if you add some supports to the tail.
also personally i likes the beater bar setup you had, could do with a longer bar though
Like this? (small beater bar supporting the tail)

Brutula improved, feel free to laugh even harder. (failuminium 3)

Dexterhunter made a sit n spin bot called Brutus. I don't really like full body spinners, so I decided to make a far worse one. I could have easily down-graded the Iron/Metal/Obsidian/Worst 3 armor a bit to save weight for decent weapons. However the weapon design ended up being too much like the original so I'd prefer to post this slightly-more-original design. The post containing the other bot would've just been "here's a smaller version of another, better bot".

For Nienthousand,
try to add light doublesided teeth to one side of the beater bars.
That'd look cool, I think.
Also what's its armor?

Rammers.
I like rammers, my favorite rammer is Tornado.
I also liked the Crazy Taxi rammer from the LD pack.
So I decided to make it into an underweaponed non-invertible unskinned lightweight.
It's fun to play with.
That's the only redeeming factor.
Mundane Taxi 1 was far worse, so I'm not even gonna upload it.
Thoughts?

Yay, people are remaking my bots now!
Looks pretty cool for a LW Groovy Taxi.
I just realised the chassis don't match up. Mine has an indent while yours has a proper taxi bumper. I HAD ONE JOB. Oh well. I'll remake it then skin it, I suppose. By the way all of your bots are just so unique, simple and characteristic! Thought you should know.

Steel sucks. 2mm steel is hax and should not exist.
Get tite or plastic and more weapons cause right now it's rather... mundane.
Also it's overpowered and the beater bar in the middle will not do anything and should be removed asap.
oh and make the chassis as airtight as you can to squeeze out the extra kgs.
Whoops that was meant to be 3mm steel. I'll get the titanium and the more weapons, and will promptly remove that beater bar.

 Rammers. I like rammers, Tornado's my favorite rammer. I also liked the Crazy Taxi rammer from the Live Designs pack (Groovy Taxi as pointed out below), so I decided to make it into an underweaponed non-invertible as-of-yet unskinned lightweight. It's fun to play with, and that's pretty much its only redeeming factor. Mundane Taxi 1 was far worse, so all it gets is this mention. Thoughts?

That batbot looks like it'd be a great houserobot should houserobot AI/rulesets ever become possible.
