I'd personally use hex plates because all those flails are a lot of wasted weight.
i don't want to use hex plates because i wanted this to be original, and i think that Rujak(urjak) said somewhere that less flails= worse at handling sledges.
True, but it makes your bot worse against Gutrippers and bots which can outweapon it, like FS or rammers.
Also, there's no point in detracting the effectiveness of your bot for the sake of originality unless you're building a dedicated artbot/rule of cool bot (like Dom's) or IRL.
Nary wanted some original but effective stuff in NAR AI(that's why he rejected the SS i built), and when building this i originally tried to use hex plates, but the bot ended up having too little flails because it makes the bot overweight.
Well, you could get 6 per side (2 flails on each side, plus hex plate with 3 razors) for 12 razors, which would save you 3kg per 3 razors (if hex plates are 5kg, I think they are :P), so you would save 12 kg, then you could add a flail on each side and mount a beater w/ ds teeth instead of the last couple of razors. Might be a little more effective.
so, do you mean i should get 4 flails equiped with 3 razors + hex plate, then add the rest of the flails with BB + DS teeth(or razors, if i can get the weight)?

dp cause nobody got commentz for the FS, here's a bot and a stabilizer fix for Midnight Prayer:  the bot now have Pl3 armor, and alu stabilizers. The bot falls down to the floor much faster, and it's so stable even when one of the CF extenders holding the drive is ripped off, it still can drive. And here's the 2nd MW replacing Midnight Frequency 2 in the NAR AI team!:  Midnight St4r is the 4th generation in the Midnight Star lineup. It has 4 ants(but strangely the axles won't spaz out until some of the razors are removed  ), Ti1 Armor, and 14 Razors on 14 Axles(yep, i didn't use any hex plates this time  ) Now, i just need to make Midnight Sky 8, and then this team is ready to ship to Nary  .

Define 'it won't melty-brain'. Does it still spin? Does it move at all?
it still spins, but it won't chase the opponent like it supposed to do with FBS.py.

I've just AIed my bot with FBS.py, but the bot won't melty-brain. here's the bindings: list.append(("Midnight St4r","FBS",{'nose':-math.pi/2,'invertible':True,'spinspeed':25,'radius':0.1,'topspeed':150,'throttle':130,'turn':100,'turnspeed':5,'weapons':(0,)}))

what about HnM 4?(who's wedges are near unbeatable).
Lol what, I find HnM 4 one of the lesser wedges in NAR AI :L
le gasp! I can never get under HnM 4!(so, what do you think is the better wedge in NARAI?)

What are you on about ? HurricaneAndrew has built before, he has his own showcase he just hasn't updated it for a long time
i meant sam aka sir benevolent.
849
« on: August 04, 2012, 07:29:25 AM »
I will but I told Andrew that I'd do my challenge with him first so that Sam had a bit more time to learn dsl building
well you gotta teach him personally, he‘s gonna be the next sparkey if you don‘t teach hom perdonally.

Okay....... what do you think about the FS?
851
« on: August 04, 2012, 06:16:09 AM »
Then, what‘s the most effective design for a FG?
852
« on: August 04, 2012, 05:42:01 AM »
248.8, PL5 Armor, 2 ants. This bot is an attempt to an invertible FG.it fails because the chassis isn't high enough, but hey, i did it!
And the fact the stabilisers are PLASTIC.
to get Alu stabilisers, i need to downgrade to ti1, which will make it fail against regular popups like DiSemboweLment.

Here's 2 more bots to finish the NARAI team: 1st is the 2nd LW, Midnight Prayer:  248.8, PL5 Armor, 2 ants. This bot is an attempt to an invertible FG.it fails because the chassis isn't high enough, but hey, i did it! 2nd is the 1st HW, Midnight Storm:  792.0, PL5 Armor, 9 ants. yeah, yeah, it's underweight, but Naryar changed the long-belt perm's weight to be the same as the short one, so i need the weight so that the bot becomes 800.0 when it moves to DSL.

This is awesome. Would've saved me a boatload of time when I was learning the basics.
quick question, since I've never seen it. can I get a description of BiDirRam?
"For rammers with weapons in both front and back. Dynamically switches directions and attacks with whichever side has more weapons."

Just a question...
Has there ever been a .py made that uses a spin motor as a front and back hammer? Just wondering.
ElectricHammer.py

Let's face it: the current state of AI .py's is a mess. Even a commonly used .py like Popup is not available anywhere individually; you have to get it in an AI pack, and then you have to hunt down the newest version. Finding the right .py for the job can be a chore, and this is probably a major obstacle for new people getting into AI'ing.
So I gathered 15 of the most commonly used AI's and put them all together in a single download.
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/AIessentials.zip
It's also linked on my RA2 Downloads page.
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm
The .py's I included are Omni, InvertOmni, InvertOmni2, EcoOmni, SpinupOmni2, Popup, VertSpinner, FBS_2, FBSPlus, FBSInvertDir, Flipper2, BiDirRam, ElectricHammer, LaserguidedV2, and Tactics.
Note: Flipper2.py is the improved Flipper.py I posted earlier, I just changed the name so it doesn't overwrite the old Flipper.py anymore, since the new one still has some issues. I also added a customizable setting for how often it fires the srimech, as requested by Sonny Resetti.
Note2: I updated VertSpinner.py with an anti-Troll Dance feature. You can now put 'TrollDanceZone' in Bindings to make the weapons spin in reverse for a longer time when self-righting, so the bot doesn't end up balancing on its nose.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE
I created templates for every .py that include most of the customizable features (set to default settings) so you can just pick a .py template, copy and paste it into Bindings.py, and tweak the settings as needed. No more worrying about misplaced commas, typos, or missing parentheses! I expect this will be a major time-saver for people running tournaments that have to do a lot of mass AI'ing.
ummmm Click, you have LaserguidedV2 on this py pack, there's already a V3 in phil's AI chart.

REVIVAL! I've got 2 DSL myths for you, Mr.Beetle. 1.is the metal hinge better than burst motors for wedges? 2.are the angled skirts wedgier than the small wedges?
1-Yes
what about HnM 4?(who's wedges are near unbeatable).
