Let's get this show on the road!

Rules n stuff

Info
Stock Middleweight
16 entries, 1 entry per person
4 rounds, 2 rounds on a reskinned clawtop arena, the other 2 in a reskinned battlebox arena (More on that later)
Matches will be 3 minutes long
Matches will be judged on Points
I will not be entering since I suck at stock
I can AI, but I would prefer if you did it

Rules
Ai parts ARE allowed (So that means 140 cm extender, Blue Snapper, etc)
NO Cheatbot2 parts are allowed
NO Walkers/shufflers are allowed, each robot must have at least 2 wheels
Multibots are not allowed.
Hax mode, BFE, AAM, Thyrus glitch etc is NOT allowed
NO havok restarts
There will be a third place playoff option

Matches Setup
In the first round, there will be 4 matches of four bots, 2 go out each match leaving 8 to go through to round three. Then the same will happen again, taking out 4. Leaving four robots in round three, then in round 3, there will be 2 rounds of 1v1, then that will leave 2 robots in the grand final.
(Hope that makes it clearer)

hmmm... I'm considering

Woot woot 700th post

The trialbot looks too sturdy for sharkbite and sleak swimmers weaponry, and I can't do standard 
But, oh well nothing to lose, and it's just for fun, I'll send sharkbite 1.5

Another random problem...


This his him in action and he seems to not be able to turn.

Here are the bindings:
list.append(("Rust Spawn","Rammer",{'nose':math.pi,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':100,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5}))

Any ideas on where I messed up?

Have you named the controller 'LeftRight' on the control that turns it left right? does it turn the motors in the right directions?

Yeah... totally... why would I make a rookie mistake like that? *quickly changes the analog name to 'LeftRight*

Ha ha, but seriously, thanks, Natster. I can't believe I overlooked something like that!

No problem :)

hes got 50 pounds left though so titanium 5 would be good

No 20 since helloface is buffing up the npc's by 15kg so technically it weighs 780

With regards to armour, Naryar's DSL tutorial lists Plastic 5 as a good armour choice, Titanium 5 as an excellent choice, and Aluminium 5 as a very poor choice, so with this in mind I would stick to Plastic 5 unless you can get it up to Titanium 5.

Right. Got it

This is probably my favourite robot of yours to date, my only complaints are the halfsheets and the spike on the top, which I don't think fits with the design too well. Otherwise, looks good to me.

Thanks! :) Will do

Thanks for the advice all of you :)

The halfsheets attached to the baseplate make it illegal :V

Why?

no attaching armor to the bot is a rule
just make skirts

Oh, ok

with plastic 5 in the heavyweight division you will be torn apart

Hmm, guess I could actually, but honestly plastic 5 is a very good and strong armour for IRL building

i get at least aluminum 5 on my heavy weights
my bot in the hf tournament has titanium 5

Still, it's a very good all rounder and probably the best strength weight wise

yeah but it will get torn apart by any wedged damage doing bot that can get below it
if you dont want to you dont have to but youll get torn apart

I'll take my chances

Crankshaft, plastic 5, low ground clearance+dual perm for whacking ability

Thoughts?

I think it's decent, but really it looks off just in one aspect for me and I can't put my finger on it

The weapon support is badly done

I suck at supports

multiextenders also look very out of place and waste weight, you need some sort of a triangle support for it to look realistic

1. It's impossible for me to get a support like that done
2. Which multiextenders?

Ontop of that, It looks a bit silly to see the perm outside the chassis.

I've seen loads of other people do it, it's to save weight

And I can safely say I suck at building VS's, their hard to make and from me, they suck. I definately prefer axes

What are you on about?


Go to 1:55
Now for the other advice
I'm going to make the skirts shorter
Change the skin
See if I could add different wheels
And other stuff that's been mentioned
