yes, i already knew this but you try to make a proper walker that works properly...out of 10 walking/shuffling machines i've built on all the ra games this is the only one that i've ever had any success with, blame the devs of ra2 for not considering putting proper walking components in.
A good example being anarchy from series 6 of robot wars i wanted to make a walker like that but its basically impossible due to the fact there is no component that will keep a "leg" facing downwards while having a flywheel rotating the leg round to move it forwards, i tried making another bot earlier called rhino that was going to be like brute but a proper walker but just like all my other attempts i could not for the life of me get it to work, if you know any way of making an anarchy style walker i'd really like to know ho tf to do it.
oh and not getting a good enough weight bonus for this is hardly fair as any kind of bot that doesn't use wheels in ra2 suffers from post traumatic grip disorder as in it slides all over the place and barely has any grip and im pretty sure the only reason i can push people around with it is because my wedge takes their front wheels off the floor.

i would if i could even fit anymore weapons in lol, its so condensed inside the chassis i was hoping to add a horizontal spinner at the back but it can't fit (well it could if i wasn't fussed about it needing to be irl) also do walkers get an extra weight limit in dsl? or are walkers almost non existent?  EDIT: im suprised it even works tbh on ra3 i recreated anarchy but it had no grip, on ra2 rw mod i again recreated anarchy and again it had no grip but apparently in dsl brute has grip which is why i think its actually working right well that and it weighs over 1300 whatever the weight measurement is in ra

Sorry i haven't posted any bots for a while i stopped playing ra2 for a while since i didn't really have any idea's left as i think i wore myself out lol but i am back with a new bot: Brute now brute is a special robot because it is a.....WALKER DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN  . no brute is not a gimmic walker i thought it would be at first but it is far from terrible in fact its probably the best walker i've ever built on any ra game whether that be the stock or the rw mod or god forbid ra3. would you rather me put the statistics down like down below or in sentences?   Brute Armor: 10mm aluminum weapon: VDMA front-hinge flipping ramp and VDMA R/P gothic axe drive: TWM3R (drive) X6 power: 4 odyssey tall batteries cost: 30 minutes of my life ( notes: can be slow to self right and tends to do a terrorhertz whenever firing the axe in rapid succession

ok so long story short i made a working wheely big cheese (can be a bit glitchy but its ra2 so no surprise there) the problem is that the flipper motor is not powerful enough to lift heavy weight bots anywhere near as much as it did irl so i was wondering is there either one of 2 things 1: a guide on how to modify components on a certain bot to have more force when activated or 2: a more powerful burst flip motor than the hw flip motor around (and yes i know the beta motor is op in terms of flip power but the problem is its too big and i can't put one upside down)   don't mean to boast at all but i think in terms of looks it turned out pretty frickin well

Looks underweight, maybe build a stronger, sturdier or maybe wider flipper, also import skin and paint.net is your friend.
Edit: Please crop your images, it took me the entire minute to load.
i just noticed that and i swear on my own life that that bot was 798.3 kg's when i finished building it and i haven't changed it since. oh and all current and future images are spoiler'd now so you should be able to load the page just fine EDIT: ok now its 799.1 wtf is going on

ok so i finally managed to make a robot that i had on the robot wars mod that is a flipper bot, its called flip frenzy and as the name suggests all of the power is in the weapon and i've finally managed to get a flipper bot on dsl that doesn't just flip bots bot it tosses bots into the air. ok so with flip frenzy 10(call it flip frenzy 10 where as my last one on the robot wars mod was mk 4 the reason is i have another 5 all different flip motors however none gave the flip factor i wanted) i'd already gave up trying at mk 9 until i put second sentinel into the bot designs folder along with all the other heavyweight ra2 bots and found how deadly its flipper was (never really fought second sentinel in a way that it got a chance to ever try to flip me). after i went rooting around both emergency and sentinel in the bot lab i discovered 2 things (of which i know everyone already knows but im new in general to dsl so it was very new to me) one was that emergency used fast snapper burst motors and two sentinel used 2 beta spring loaded motors and at that point i knew i could make a proper flip frenzy so i built flip frenzy on the basis of second sentinel's design length and width but the similarities end there. flip frenzy has a slope as extreme as i could make it without risking the beta motors not fitting in, the flippers are made out of titanium with support on the underside for added looks, the armor is 5mm steel and the batteries were the hardest part as these beta motors take a lot of power each time they are used so its a bit like a real life flipper as the battle draws on the flips become weaker with each push of the button around the 2 minute mark, finally it didn't get any points for the flips so to compensate i put a few beater bars on the titanium plates so when it flips the bars hit the underside of the opponent causing damage and scoring points. man im glad this is over i feel like i've just wrote an essay

Shoot, I should of enter more Robots before the deadline after feeling a little bad for myself for not contributing that much. But knowing I have exams and not being able to build DSL-IRL that well, I had to put focus somewhere else. Still even when it's just the one bot, it will still be fun to see how this all turns out in the end. In the meantime, I'll be keeping some of my other bots for a future IRL Tournament. But have fun Demon, AIing all these bots and getting this tournament ready.
Have an idea on the arena yet Demon?
i feel quite sad i wasn't able to get spinner from the east ready in time lol, would have been hilarious if it won a match

just thought i'd get all my whiplash bots into the arena and try to line them up for good shot (its bloody difficult when they all use the same controls and yes i couldn't be arsed to re assign them just for a screenshot so this is the best your going to get, oh and i will update both whiplash 1's picture and spinner from the east's pic soon) from left to right: whiplash 3, 1, 2

Not bad, Just shrink the chassis, and you're going to need more batteries. Honestly I actually liked that Flipper\Axe combo.
the batteries are enough for the standard 3 minutes and even 5 if i don't constantly spam the weapons, i always focus on the weapons first, armor second before anything else. whats the point if one your bot can't knock out the opponent or doesn't have enough armor to protect itself, at least thats how i see it but i will take that into account when i build malicious intent 3 and will try to make the chassis smaller so thanks for the feedback. EDIT: ok so i finished malicious intent 3 and im happy to say that it is both smaller and has more batteries and the best benefit is it is 10 mil titanium now so its almost completely invulnerable here it is next to MI 2 for comparison, i will probably do this now with all bots that are upgrades of one another to show the difference  MI 3

ok so i checked sfte again and i made a mistake it was actually titanium 5 now its aluminium due to the extender supports anyway this next bot is a very special one as it is the first bot i ever created in ra2 dsl Malicious intent the idea of malicious intent started when i was re watching some of the old robot wars series and i thought why has there never been a front hinged flipper/axe bot ? and then i decided to make one and this was the result it has 10mm aluminium armor, 2 60x120 titanium flipper panels powered by 2 VDMA piston motors, the axe is powered by a medium axe motor (used to be another vdma). this time there will be 2 sets of images one of it when i first built it and one of it now with all the modifications i've made with the knowledge i have now. EDIT: forgot to mention that unlike the first the second also has a titanium wedge at the front for increased ability to get under other bots (more or less like firestorm 5 with the steel blade at the front of the wedge) Malicious intent 1   Malicious intent 2

A dsl bar setup I've found works and looks good (if you have cf patch installed) is a hex plate attached to the motor, then run colored al extenders off in each direction, then place the dsl bars on each side of the hex. Basicslly making a "sandwich" bar. That way damage to the primary bar doesn't take out both, plus it's more colorful and allows you to attach beaters or other weapons to the bars as well.
will try something like that when i get around to building whiplash version 4, so thanks for the suggestion now on to my first serious middleweight bot SFTE (spinner from the east) so i thought today what if sftw was good? and this was the result, call it its evil dsl clone sfte has 10mm(5mm im an idiot) titanium armor and instead of a rather weedy little saw blade at the front it has a dsl 37.5x100 bar x2 with a few beaters in the middle for extra damage on a perm 80 motor, and it is invertible and the wheels are protected by titanium side panels. it does seem a bit unstable when moving forward at full speed when the weapon is spinning fully although im not suprised considering it totals half of the bots weight.

imo those extender things on the side make the bot look messy, if you got rid of them you could use the weight on supports for the chewblades. the wheels in the chassis seem protected enough anyways
(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
the dsl bars could be joined together. just attach it so the flat parts of the blades are stuck to each other.
the "support" cage around it kinda just looks unfinished, but i'm digging the rib-cagey feel
the wheels idk if they're a good choice but generally if you're needing wheels that big either Motorcycle wheels or Overkill wheels will do the job, but that might just be me not liking the Ford wheels
as i said in an earlier post the dsl bars being together unless they were placed on the inside didn't look right to me so i kept them apart, it looks better now though as it uses small drums to hold the dsl bars together the motorcycle wheels were too small in width so when whiplash turned it would immediately overbalance itself and the overkill wheels were just too big of a target with less hp so the fords may look a bit meh but they were the best choice between stability and size i think and the support cage was added after as it originally wasn't dsl, so didn't have much weight limit to use however i got the idea to make the support kind of like a rib cage after making RipCage

so this next bit im about to show, i may enter it into the [DSL IRL - All Weightclasses] ADOT IRL Tournament as a heavyweight signup as it seems to do reasonably well against most bots i put it against and im pretty sure there are no parts intersecting and that that everything on the bot is supported in some way this is canine(name due to the fact it uses the canine 6 chew blades), it has 10mm aluminium armor and is quite fast for a 2 wheeled bot and as with all my recent bots it has extenders protecting the wheels, it has 2 steel wedges at the front for lifting opponents off the floor and straight into the chew blades and its weapon is powered by a perm 132 motor so it has a lot of power behind those blades. last of all it has a srimech above the chew blades for self righting  (Updated Images)

Whiplash 2, as i said earlier not in order so Whiplash 2 i recently built after building whiplash 3 (i don't build in order sometimes) and after creating the new weapon support extender frame whiplash 2 is the result of shrinking the dsl bars to 37.5 x 200 x4 and using my new way of supporting the vertical spinner weaponry. other than those 2 changes its more or less the same as whiplash 1 yet still the first is more stable and again more durable.

I concur with the others, you seem to be learning pretty quickly. Axi-dent looks good, the extender work on Ripcage is a bit messy but it's a good concept. And I like that My First Bot replica.
as i said, ripcage is new and still needs a few tweaks to look better EDIT:updated version of ripcage with no obvious intersecting extenders

just thought i'd share this joke bot (fond memories) so i got a bit bored on ra2 one day and...........this was the result the robot we all reacted to with a burst of laughter(or just me).......My First Bot: it has a pickaxe and is made out of wood............what? were you expecting a bit more info?

« on: June 12, 2017, 12:39:56 AM »
Damn, all of the bots look damn good! Keep up the good work!
the building aspect is what i like the most, can create almost anything in robot arena where as on robot wars arenas of destruction (first robot fighting game i played) you were quite limited so it feels good to create something from complete scratch without things like defined shapes or prebuilt weapons, don't like that axe? make your own, don't like that spinning bar/drum/flywheel? make your own, you know that feeling. its why i went on a madden making recreations on ra3 because i enjoyed building them. so thanks for liking the bots and i got a load of them that i still haven't put up here yet so they are not exactly going to be in order

« on: June 11, 2017, 11:33:43 PM »
well that's different. i'm a fan of it personally
pro tip: there's colored angle extenders at the bottom of the dropdown menu
i did not know that so thanks for letting me know, after a bit more testing i've found this bot has kicked the arse of every bot i've fought so far, even whiplash which i entered into that tournament that demon is hosting. im seriously considering switching out whiplash for this have to test it a bit more first and its nice to know someone else likes its look as well EDIT: RipCage won 2-0 against whiplash so im going to see if ripcage is eligible to replace whiplash and here's proof (remember they were both ai'd i wasn't doing jack sh** lol) ANOTHER EDIT: actually i've changed my mind, i'll enter ripcage in the next tournament as i've still got things to tweak on it as its more or less brand new lol

ok so i said i wasn't going to post any more bots for another day at least but this i have to, so i heard about extender bots being obviously more or less completely made up of extenders and i thought what better way to test my building skill than to make shw extender bot (well it has a box chassis but you can't exactly delete the chassis so i made sure it wasn't small enough to look utter banter wank but not big enough to be a feasible way of building the bot i was planning) and here is the result: RipCage a super heavy weight horizontal spinner which set the new record for my spinner bots tearing all the parts off t-minus to about 30 seconds, seriously whiplash's destructibility is nothing compared to this the crucial extenders that are needed to hold the important parts are titanium or steel however the "ribs" are aluminium, speaking of aluminium the chassis is 10mm aluminium, the spinning bar weighs almost 200kg's and is very deadly especially to exposed wheels and speaking of wheels i chose the cheese wheels once again due to the fact they have the most hit points out of any wheel in the game and really don't need to be protected so i could put more weight into the looks more than anything else. personally i think its turned out quite good.  ^*insert sad violin meme here*^  the batteries were the hardest part of this robot im not even joking
