I am taking a break from GTM. I know I post a lot of dumb stuff that makes people mad but I'm tired of people talking bad behind my back and flaming me.

Custom Components Showcase / shield is a vandal
« on: March 14, 2017, 09:28:15 AM »
just gonna use this to ask questions mostly

i wanted to build a proper tombclone but with dsl 2.2 it's kinda hard considering how easily HS' can be stopped now

so i tinkered with the files



forgive the hastily thrown together bot, but its meant to showcase the modified Perm 132 and DSL bars (the mid section is a regular DSL bar, the ends are op reinforced versions with 8k HP and 4 concussion. they also weigh 66kg so the bots really go flying. the perm itself has 300 speed and 60 torque/power iirc

then i remembered someone saying in the DSL 2.3 wishlist that proper small drum motors were needed

i used minotaur as a reference



it even does the flying thing if it turns too fast lol

the torque does need to be toned down though. right now, its at 80

i have the absolute best tourney record so lets do this

Building Rules:
-DSL 2.2 Standard
-Heavyweight
-DSC's IRL color extender pack is allowed
-No Cheatbot2
-No bot building/editing outside of the botlab
-Mechavore and Minion discs are banned.
-RA2CF is not allowed
-Rule of 7 break is allowed
-Multibots are allowed so long as their combined weight is not more than 800KG
-Bots must have a capable drive (minimum 2 motors, 2 wheels), placement doesnt matter, as long as they are included in the bot
-Treaded bots will receive a 150KG cushion
-Smart zones do not count towards your weight
-Flamethrowers are allowed if you really want em

Scoring:
-Your score will be the amount of time you can survive against the two AI'd SHW's in a 3 minute match.
-IF you eliminate one of the SHW's (KO/Immobilization/OOTA), your score will be [the time left in the match when you knocked out the SHW]+[Overall time of survival] I.E. Your bot survived 2:20, but at 1:10 your bot eliminated one of the SHW's, your score would then be (3:00-1:10)+2:20=4:10
-If you eliminate both SHW's, your score will be calculated using the same formula mentioned above for each respective bot+remaining time
-Bot with the longest time wins.

Match Rules:
-Ring Arena will be used
-If a havok occurs for the first two times, the match will be restarted. On the third time that a bot havoks, It will be disqualified.
-Due to the unique nature of The SHW VS' chassis, it may sometimes fall out of the arena but not be counted as eliminated, so I will base the score on the moment one of it's intact components touches the arena floor

Submitting Rules:
-You are allowed to update as much as you'd like until signups close
-I can AI for you, but you will not get to complain if I "ai'd it wrong" unless it's a critical error (Invertible bot not moving while it's upside down, bot not using its srimech)
-I reserve the right to reject any bot that I find unacceptable. But tbqh as long as it doesnt crash the game or break any rules above it should be fine
-One entry per person, But I may make it two if I do not receive enough entries
-16 entries

The Bots:

if there are any missing rules or questions just shoot

Entrants:
1. Dark-Al
2. Thrackerzod

Off-Topic Discussion / My PC sucks
« on: January 03, 2015, 02:42:53 AM »
my pc is not good

it crashes when i try and open more than one tab, it takes half an hour to start in the mornings, and my flash plugins keep crashing on me, when i turn it back on it just freezes the darn thing.

but, i've been able to live with it. sure, id like to get it fixed, but i'm not rich.

anyways, a new problem has emerged in the form of it not being able to identify any USB's save for the keyboard and mouse etc. but that might be because they've been plugged in there for the past 3 years and are practically fused with the darn thing.

it won't read my pendrive, nor will it identify my phone. it says it's there, in that it acknowledges it presence, but refuses to identify it or allow me to access it, simply stating that it exist, and nothing more.

help?

Discussion / idea for flippers
« on: October 10, 2014, 09:57:36 PM »
so, the one thing i tend to struggle with when building is the fact that if you want to build a flipper that's any larger than a CW, you're going to need the power of 2 judge bursts for it to remain competitive. However, sometimes that tends to ruin certain bots that could only look good with only one burst motor.

i ran into this problem when i built my latest bot, this one.



although this doesn't always happen, it is a major pain when it does. so i suggest adding in a variant of the judge burst that is something like the BBEANS stacked blackvolt, it takes up the space of one judge burst, but has the weight of two and only 3 fourths the power of two judge burst to balance out the fact that it wouldn't need as much space.

Thoughts?

is there a way to AI a bot so that it fires a specific set of burst motors after a battle? like, a hammer could fire when the results screen shows up or something

Would it be advisable to concentrate weapons on just one spot or just have a wall of em?

Chatterbox / How to deal with paranoia/fear
« on: August 15, 2014, 02:34:16 PM »
So, in recent weeks I've lost sleep. Usually staying up til 2-3. In the morning out of fear. And it's not the first time.

It always happens when I decide to dip my foot into any kind of horror media (more often than not out of curiousity) And as of late, Five nights at Freddy's has been haunting me, but The Ring and Paranormal Activity (both of which I was unwillingly "persuaded" to watch) come back from time to time. I have no idea why but I will not stop thinking about whatever it is even as I lay my head to rest.

And so I ask, whats the best way to get rid of this fear/paranoia?

Modifications / DSL 2.12/ DSL 2.1 AI/minor fixes
« on: June 12, 2014, 10:32:43 AM »
idk whether this belongs in technical support or whatevs

but i noticed that DSL 2.1, as perfect as it is, could use a bit of touch up considering Click released a new, better Battlebox and a new Flipper AI, and the firestorm replica is an absolute havok bomb due to the flipper being a bit too light (21 KG if I'm not mistaken)

so, i was going to ask if anyone has made a new better version, or if I'm allowed to do it myself (Fix Firestorm's havok problem, replace the battlebox, switch all the flipper Ai's with the new one maybe even add on a couple of replicas idk)

EDIT: Done.

I was wondering for a bit about this weightclass. Why don't we call it Light Heavyweight like in boxing or MMA?

And why isn't it listed in The Official Weightclass guide by Sage?
