DSL TC Showcases / Ravager my first interchangeable weapon system bot

« on: November 08, 2017, 04:32:38 AM »

Its been a while since i've posted anything on this showcase but i had to put something up eventually so here it is 

(all bot configs below are right on the weight limit so i cannot add anything without removing something else first, just in case anyone has suggestions)

Ravager 259 configuration

Weapon: large DSL double toothed disc powered by a 132 reinforced perm motor
Armor: 5mm aluminium, titanium wedge and polycarb side panels
Drive: 4 X TWM3R2 drive motors
Power: 2 X 20kg Sealed lead acid battery
Cost: my Wednesday morning
Notes: if you couldn't guess from the name it was heavily inspired by 259
Strengths: very good at throwing an opponent around the arena
Weaknesses: without the disc its a generic wedge

Ravager drum configuration

Weapon: large drum with medium beaters powered by a 132 perm motor
Armor: 5mm aluminium chassis, titanium wedge and polycarb side panels
Drive: 4 X TWM3R2 drive motors
Power: 1 X 30kg car battery, 1 X 15kg intercooled battle pack
Cost: my Wednesday morning
Notes: one of the only drum bots that i have that works
Strengths: very good at getting underneath and ripping up the baseplate
Weaknesses: needs a srimech

Ravager Blender configuration

Weapon: 25X250 bar X 2 with 2 X 50X50 bars on each end and powered by a 6 mag gearbox
Armor: 3mm steel chassis, polycarb wedge and side panels
Drive: 4 X TWM3R2 drive motors
Power: 1 X 20kg sealed lead acid batttery, 1 X 15kg intercooled battle pack
Cost: my Wednesday morning
Notes: if hazard had a heavyweight counterpart
Strengths: Spinning bar is huge
Weaknesses: various sacrifices had to be made to have a weapon this size, it also is suspect to doing a mauler if one of the 50x50 bars is broken off

Ravager nightmare configuration

Weapon: Huge spinning doubled toothed disc powered by a reinforced perm 132
Armor: 3mm steel, aluminium wedge and polycarb side panels
Drive: 4 X TWM3R2 drive motors
Power: 1 X 20kg sealed lead acid battery, 1 X 15kg intercooled battlepack
Cost: 20 minutes
Notes: didn't take long to modify the 259 configuration
Strengths: Huge disc with huge teeth
Weaknesses: like with the blender config it sacrifices armor for huge damage potential

Ravager swinging configuration

Weapon: Gothick axe mounted on a spiked haft and powered by a large VDMA R/P piston
Armor: 5mm steel
Drive: 4 X TWM3R2 drive motors
Power: 2 X 20kg sealed lead acid batteries
Cost: 30 minutes
Notes: not tested as much as the other configs
Strengths: hugely powerful axe
Weaknesses: axe grows weaker the longer the fight goes on

well thats all the ravager configurations i've done right now and atm i can't think of anything else however if i do another i will put it on this post 

(ps: before anyone moans about the wedge please know that i tried to put 45 degree angled slopes on but they took ravagers front wheels off the ground and im not redoing it all over again just for that).

V3

Weapon(s): 2 storm lifting arms
Armor: 10mm plastic chassis with lexan axe protection
Drive: 4x twmr3 drive motors
Power: 1x car battery and 4x sealed lead acid battery
Cost: 15-20 min
Notes:it has so many batteries because i have no idea what else to put on it
Strengths: literally zero ground clearance and has a lot of pushing power also robots tend to get stuck on its spike strips if you need an example look up robot wars series 3 alligator vs corporal punishment
weaknesses: why would i tell you?

ALSO HURRAH FOR FINALLY HAVING A DECENT SKIN ON MY BOT

well barrel roll is going with scarab and will definitely not be sabotaged by scarab
(tbh i think this entire tag team idea with HW and MW is a terrible idea due to all the MW's that are about to get killed by their own team mate)

Recived pokebro's bots.
Guys keep em sending!

when you have so many HW's you don't know which one to send.....

Edit: you know i think scarab deserves to be in a tournament just due to how popular it was compared to my other bots (no idea how to ai it though your on your own there tgm) will send it once i've finalized it (making sure it has enough bat power, that the teeth it has are the best choice for it.....)

Yeah, I'd say it looks better with the one big disc like that. What teeth has it got on it? I can't quite tell.

it uses the nightmare teeth since they are one of the only ones that don't clip through the claw motors

DSL TC Showcases / Stag Weaponry redone

« on: September 23, 2017, 09:37:44 PM »

long story short i accidentally put a perm 80 instead of a 132 for stags spinning discs, swapped it for 132 couldn't fit 2 discs anymore so now stag has one big meaty disc which now rivals ripcage in the damage it deals if its able to get up to full speed (im sure f1krazy will be especially pleased with this  )

if an option to build your own bot is added along the way similar to the style of ra2 dsl and multiplayer at some point then i will easily get this

DSL TC Showcases / Flip Frenzy 11

« on: September 23, 2017, 12:12:59 PM »

Ok so i finally managed to complete flip frenzy 11 the lexan flipper i was working on and i think considering its my first lexan bot its not bad but its certainly not the best either (also how do people get their components to show up in the game like batteries and circuit boards under the lexan?)

Weight: 798.7
Weapon(s): enormously powerful duel spring load setup flipper
Armor: Lexan, chassis heart is 10mm aluminium
Drive: 2x twmr3 drive motors
Power: 2x sealed lead acid batteries
Cost: 90 minutes in total
Notes: is a bit hard to control at times

I also like however, I would imagine it being a SHW, using that drive must be slow. 2. The magmotors must also take forever closing the claws 3. How much it weigh & finally, you can put discs on the wheels instead of the plates

1: not as slow as you'd think it would be
2: yeah drawback of there not being proper crusher motors in dsl
3:more or less 1200 and the discs weight 10 kg's each and i would not be able to fit them due to the weight limit of 1200

DSL TC Showcases / Stag

« on: September 22, 2017, 03:02:15 PM »

Ok so here we go i said i'd re design scarab as a super heavyweight and i think i did quite well, its a bit rough at the moment however im still testing it so anything that ends up causing problems i will try to fix.

You wanted bigger claws and you got 'em

Armor: 10mm aluminium
Weapon(s): Spinning 4 tooothed spinning disc (X2), 2 clamping jaws with spike strips and 2 60cm heavy spikes
Drive: 2 twmr3 drive motors
Power: 3X sealed lead acid batteries
Cost: 50 minutes
Notes: does not react as quickly as scarab

Can't you just use a shorter Perm and lighter armour? Should lose enough weight for BIG MEATY CLAWS.

maybe....i'll give it a shot and see what happens so prepare for ULTIMATE CLAWS (i swear this is almost like an evolving pokemon at this point  )

Edit: i tried and tried but sadly i couldn't get the weight down low enough to make it look decent so i think my next move will be to make a SHW version of scarab

Gothic Bird and Nasty Egg vs Crashbox: GB and NE dominated this fight against Crashbox not giving it any chance to get its drum spinner up to full power, for a moment i thought Crashbox could pull it back when it ripped of GB's axe however it was already too late by that point.

Whiplash vs Final Nail In The Coffin
FINALLY! whiplash redeems itself and will not be disowned lol
also the fact that FNITC lost because it got stuck of one of whiplash's aluminium decor pieces is sad but at the same time quite funny 

however i think if the fight had gone on whiplash would have won because what i've gathered from this tournament especially from the likes of rofl copter and red bull is damage is almost nothing compared to aggression

Super Big Black Saw vs Therizinosaurus: the only time i've ever seen a robot torn apart like that was when i pitted Ripcage against whiplash to see what i would be entering into the next tournament, spoiler Theriz won

Not Nightmare (Right Terror 2) and Torment 2 vs Killer Whale 2.8 and Splat!: ok first off what is that puny little thing on killer whale? its almost as bad as Trident's axe in RW series 3

Anyway as close as it was i do believe the decision on who won was right due to the fact half way through that fight splat had been ming'd (look up hypno disc vs ming and wheely big cheese if you don't know what im talking about) and killer whale was basically getting its rear explored by torment

THE WORLD vs Drum Of War : The Revenge: ok so from looks alone o thought drum of war would just breeze past the world but the problem is well.....it didn't, quite the opposite actually and i think the problem is that it doesn't have anything to help it get up from being stuck on its side for example with one of my clusterbots one of them is a vertical spinner but i have little extender pieces sticking out from the wheels so it doesn't get beached on it's side.
all in all just very unfortunate for drum of war and while not a bad design not having anything to help it get up off its side was really what killed it.

Chanticleer 2 and drone vs Monstargh!: very quick fight Monstargh flipped on its back no way to self right the end.

Black and Blue vs Teratophoenus: short answer is Tera got rekt, long answer is basically black and blue dominated the entire fight and tera couldn't even get out its starting zone since the sheer speed of black and blue prevented any aggression from tera however i will add that black and blue are a bit trigger happy and wonder 2 things, one will it come back to bite them later on or two will they "wait for a good hit" 

Virtue and Vice vs Panzer Strike MK2: ok first i thought it couldn't self right? and second F1krazy if i recall correctly you siad at some point about vice being bad compared to virtue or something.....this game match begs to differ since virtue completely lost its weapon and vice basically won that match so apologize to vice its least it deserves...

well thats it for this breakdown of the SHW losers bracket round 2 (lets be honest here this is round 1)

Yo that's dope as ****, like F1 said, I also recommend you give it BIG MEATY CLAWS. Makes it look the part, still ****in dope though

i'd give it bigger claws but that would put it in the SHW zone and while it is decent against HW's i don't think it would stand a chance against SHW's

been trying to make flip frenzy 11 which will (eventually) be a lexan flipper wedge but im for some reason finding it quite difficult even though i managed to quite easily build ripcage my shw extender bot.......so will hopefully have that completed soon
