old remake

same insides as the old one but with a complete different setup, 6 razors on the DDT now, and all the wammer weapons are now the snapper IIs. a little wider aswell. 799.0

still not happy with it so i'll probably rebuild it again.

here's the old bot if you want to know what the chassis setup looks like

The bot needs to weight under 800kgs for you to change the armor.

2nd to last looks the best to me.

you'd be better off with putting the drive in the back; you won't need as much rear support, plus the drive will be a lot less exposed.

B.O.B from Battlebots is the first one that comes to my mind.

I think he's referring to IRL and how it's generally more recent than old school DSL.

Latest Idea:

Creative Clash.

Stock HW tourney.

SnS, Pop-ups and HS banned.

HS Hybrids allowed, but some form of nerf, i.e. no more than 2 ZTek motors could be used for the spinning weapon.

Would there be any interest?

IMO, I would just limit the amount weapons HS can have on their tribars, popups could be OK as long they have to be hybrids, and SNS just can't use meltybrain.

One idea I had was to have a tournament that has a group of about three who would judge each entry, and then decide how generic or original it is. Then a majority vote would decide if the bot would be accepted or denied based on how original/generic it is.

There probably would be a little bit of bias in the vote, but as long as your run-of-the-mill 36hs and 5-6 ramplate popups aren't accepted I don't think it will be that bad.

don't even bother with 2 blacks and a cb. you save like 3 kgs at most and it takes forever even if you're really good at stacking.

And you should definitely learn snapper loading, makes bots a lot more compact and less messy and opens up more options in building. Messyness probably isn't the best example though as it isn't even symetric.

fuiggk me but ill still do predictions
AuckFGOD: Messy, but it's an HS so it might win something
Faceless Void: Generic
Orange Avenger 3: Good arena for multi-bots, popup is meh
Muscle Car: Looks like it'll get raped by HS
Aquarius: Pretty cool, looks like a modded hex 2. Weapons seem a little on the fragile side though.
Red Giant: About as good as a wedgless poker is going to get
Gold Miner: Cool design. Not the greatest of hybrid synergy, but it's still pretty baller
Tough Love: Same as Faceless Void. Skin looks nice at least
Krastos: Wedges will decide it's success. Shallow chassis might give it a chance against HS
Im Watching Pinball!!!: The dumb arena floor might let it get under some bots, but it's not making it outta groups
Mr Claws: Generic bear claw HS
Diggy iron: Spooky
Diggy orange: If the zteks were rotated so that the center irons actually made contact, along with some general improvements, it wouldn't be bad a bad bot
Your Best Dream: Doesn't have enough power to toss other bots and exposed weapon extenders. Might be able to kill a popup if it gets outta groups
Spinner: Under weaponed for an HS and the caster setup doesn't look great
UrGent EmerGency II: Might survive if the arena does dumb sh**; dead if it doesn't

Overall:

I get it now badger is butt hurt because diotoir didn't qualify so he starts hating on the strange one that according to him does not entertain people.

it's time to stop posting

dubbed in sounds were terrible, and the flashing lights were even more retarded than the ones in battlebots.

Still pretty decent overall

I mean nobody can tell if you BFE/RA2CF to stack blacks. The rules really mean "Don't do stuff that's only possible with RA2CF or BFE etc", such as tiny invincible chassis with battery armour etc
Component order in the bor file was the generally how you could tell if someone was using bfe
How? Back when I couldn't stack blacks I just stacked two anchors and then changed the component.

Bots that have heavy snapper loading usually have a few "spots" in the build order when batteries can't be placed. As long as you're not dumb it's almost untraceable.

Unless you can see the battery flash, try not to spend more than 15 seconds in one camera position. Go to another tab, zoom and then try again. Blacks are also one of the items that rotating does help, so rotating it 180 gives you another position to try.

« on: July 24, 2016, 04:03:53 AM »

Calling it now, BBEANS 7 will be in RA3.

if another bbeans does happen hopefully it gets a decent amount of entries. No way were getting close to 64 again, but we might be able to pull 32 and a few byes if we're lucky.
