Overcutter is pretty cool. Have you considered moving the drive motors up 1/2 ticks and/or using wide ant wheels in order to reduce the ground clearance?
Don't think of it yet. Will try to BFE it up as you said that you mentioned it. Idk if I have the weight for wide ants though

Decided to do a bit of cleanup on V2, by adding a drum on the disc, as well as making the treads symmetrical. I also added a 12cm round extender on one side of the disc so it will be connected with the support. Have to reduce the side decoration on the tread and remove an ant batt though, so it only have one intercooled and one ant. It also now weighs 600.0kg

The weapon supports look so good, I'm jealous.
Late answer, but tbh, it's not that hard. First off, about the envy part, honestly I'm not that good or creative at extenderwork unlike Neon or Superbomb, or even you, and envy their ability and creativity to make great extenderwork. I usually spend my weight on armor or other stuffs. For how I made the support itself, I just used a 12cm extender on the main part of the motor, put a 10cm extender and two 10 degree extenders on opposite sides, and put two different extenders. I then put a 120cm extender on the disc axle. The rest is just smaller extenders and 45 or 40 degree angle extenders. Anyway, moving on to showcasing bots, made three new bots first is Flipping Beetle Gen II, and upgrade to Flipping Beetle. It is now a Britflipper rear hinged, with alu3 IIRC, short VDMA, alu panel, two slim bodies, and two intercooleds. It's also 174.0kg. Not satisfied with it though tbh when comparing it to other Britflipper BW's. Next is my LW, OverCutter. I made it today, before even doing OverChopper Gen III, after trying to do Stab Runner Gen II, but losing it from the file being corrupted both times. The whole design is meant to be the new Gen III design. Anyway, it has Ti3 armor, flatmotor for the bar, which is 37.5 x 150 I think, aluminum extenderwork, titanium panels at the front, two astroflights, and a long and ant batts. The bar is also mounted 30 degrees. Weight is 247.0kg. It will also go on LDAI 3 if I can make all my bots for it Finally, my MW, Di-Trouble Gen II. Decided to update it up to my current building standard from when I first competed almost a year ago. It is now HUGE inspired. Alu5 armor IIRC, two TWM3R drives, two flat motors, eight medium beaters made using Pokebro's setup for four teeth in total, and a long and ant batts. The pushing arms are aluminium entirely. It also has two control boards to replicate the inspiration of separate control for each sides. Forgot the exact weight however.

Updated once again with entries that got accepted and rejected: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zMbQzbU9_XYJDumauJjLO8uPkECH72VD6jiUAXTMWWg/edit?usp=drivesdkAlso for the tourney, with the amount of people interested, I'm considering an option to bump the amount beyond 16, with main tourney for each weightclass still being 16, but the 16th and beyond entries have to fight in a single elim qualifying part, with the winner of the entire bracket getting the 16th spot. Alternatively, I could make HW have 32 bots instead, and if I got a bit of overflow, have fights for the 32nd spot

Looks great and clean. The reskinned discs are particularly cool. My only problem is the partially exposed motor on the overhead. May look better if you can conceal or mount it more with extenderwork

 So, after hosting Robot Emperor, a thought came to me recently. I love the tourney system of challenge belt, as well as the seven weightclasses, so why not do the challenge system unofficially. So here is my idea. I plan for it to cover all seven weightclasses, with 16 entries each, single elimination, and for it to be like GTM: Open Event in frequency. Tournament Rules: - DSL 2.2 IRL - Seven weightclasses (AW, BW, LW, MW, CW, HW, and SHW) - 1v1 - Single elimination - 16 entries for each weightclass - One entry per person - There will be a 16th spot playoff in case I get more than 16 entries per weightclass through some excessive sending by builders - I can AI your bot if you can't do it yourself. It will be preferred if you send your own AI however - Just a note for future tournament, but the system this tournament runs mean that the champion of this will have to defend their title next series against the winner of the bracket. Build Rules: - Maximum weight: 125 (AW), 175 (BW), 250 (LW), 400 (MW), 600 (CW), 800 (HW), and 1200 (SHW) - DSL-IRL rules (see TheRoboteer's IRL Guide for it) - Bots must show controlled movement - RA2CF, OBJRA2, BFE, any Colored Components, NPC Fix, Battery AP Fix, Locked NPC's, etc allowed - Reskinned component, and even custom component allowed, as long as they have the same, or inferior stat to an existing component, and accurate colission mesh. - Any cheatbot2 components are allowed, as long as they are not too abusive, or are aesthetic in nature. - Typhoon teeth limit is 6 small typhoons, and 4 large typhoons - Mechavore and Minion Disc limit are one, while Microvore and Mini Minion Disc limit are two - Thwackbots, SnS, and Meltybrain allowed. However, I will nerf them in the AI by setting their range value to very low so they won't be very broken. Meltybrain must also use LED's around their body to simulate RL melty AI - Clusterbots, Minibots, and Drones allowed. In case of drones, I will use Doot's modified invisible and 0.1kg hover engine component. They must also have powered fake rotors - Modularity allowed, in all forms, including major, minor, cluster or minibot change, and AI. Modular configs will also be unlimited. - Shufflers and Walkers allowed. Shuffler will gain 50% weight bonus, while walker receives 100%. However, you must AI walkers yourself. - You can send updates, or replacements as much as you want until signup ends - for AI py, custom ones are allowed in addition to existing ones. However, no eternalflame, or other abusive AI's, including custom ones. - In case I feel doubt about your entry, I will ask you about it. And in case I reject it, I will try to help you how to make it legal by saying what I think should be changed. Battle Rules: - Ring Arena (Reskinned) - 3 minute battles - For clusterbots, if more than 50% of their total weight is immobilized, they will be counted out. - A bot will be given 10 seconds to show controlled movement in case they lost it, and a countdown of 10 seconds will start if they still fail to show it when the 10 seconds limit run out. - In case of havoks, I will rerecord until there is a match with no havok. However, if the matches keep havoking even after a lot of rerecording, the one with the least havok will be used - If the match keeps crashing or havok before a clear conclusion, like being ripped apart enough that it would be considered immobilized IRL, a judge's decision will be held - For Judge's decision, there will be three categories of scoring, damage, aggression, and control, with 15 points each for them, for 45 points total. Those 45 points will be divided among two bots My Entry: I will also enter myself, leaving 15 free spots in all weightclasses AW: Antbar Gen II BW: Flipping Beetle Gen II LW: OverCutter MW: Di-Trouble Gen II CW: V2 HW: OverChopper Gen III SHW: OverCleaver Gen II Entry List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zMbQzbU9_XYJDumauJjLO8uPkECH72VD6jiUAXTMWWg/edit?usp=drivesdk

Cool S3 style bot. Any plan to make it fit in the MW limit, or to use up the weight to make a proper CW?

The LW looks great.
Just to clarify, but it's actually an AW. It's paired with the green bar VS AW on this page above as a LW cluster

V2 is badass my dude! Though the disc is a little weird right now. See if you can change it to a more solid looking weapon, like a drisc or something
It's meant to be a disc where the typhoons are sandwiched between two discs for a disc, as inspired from TR. Though I suppose it's because of how the teeth are arranged May try a drum between the discs with the drisc idea for it. Just hope that the typhoon won't look messy on it as i can't be bothered to BFE them down, or put them on the discs itself rather than on the drum or extender, after Sweet Drum and Dardanera respectively V2 is badass my dude! Though the disc is a little weird right now. See if you can change it to a more solid looking weapon, like a drisc or something
This, also shuffle the right tread forward
Tbh for that tread, didn't notice it was asymmetrical until Pwnator pointed it out. Will fix it

As I said before, I like how flat it is. The custom bar and weapon support are also pretty neat looking imo

Made two new bots. First, the other part of my LW cluster, as an AW called SawnDisc Gen II. It has a saw powered by a flatmotor, two copals, an intercooled batt, and alu3 armor. It also has two static aluminium wedgelets in the front, with a longer wedgelets and shorter wedgelets. Second, an upgrade to a CW called V1, named V2. It is a VS which has four smalls, and powered by a Perm 132. It has two ant bats and an intercooled. It also has two TW3R2 drives with treads, steel wedge and steel hinged wedgelets, alu5 armor, aluminium support, etc.

Welcome back. Since you are last here, DSL-IRL have become very popular, with a Discord server for RA2 if you are interested, just saying. Also, there's many new developments like RA2CF, DSC IRL Packs, OBJRA2, etc. I recommend getting DSL 2.2 Complete Edition for those, as well as read the IRL guide to know what the standard is like these days.
Anyway for the bot itself, the main thing is that you must not use skirts, as they are paper thin and would bend in real life. Replace the protective skirt with plates, and wedging skirt with wedgelets or panel and wedge edge on a hinge

Challenge is up Hoppin wins 2-0. Also, for first fight, the fight was ended since Saturn lost all drive and was uncontrolled, while in the second, all three bots were uncontrolled.

« on: April 30, 2019, 07:45:25 PM »
So, both Hoppin and Code Red accepted. Working on the challenge now
