No Steel Extenders, they are just heavier than round ones. That isnt really SFTW bad, just below average.
Rebuild the chassis ! 1 black is lighter and better than 4 small batteries.
Plus you have 10 kg to build with.
to be honest i am Sh...oot at stock, this showcase will help.
no space for a black, though it looks like it. round extenders are confusing too, so i only use them when im using the connection points to attatch onto another extendor, i rarely use them.
i do use DSA, but on other, non serious robots, because i like to be realistic, i know you can be non realistic though.
Also a good thing to know is to know how to stack blacks. Look in the tutorials and tips section to find a tutorial.
I would try and stack the blacks, put a control board on top, upgrade the drive and weapon motors, use shinies, shrink the chassis and add more weapons. Not bad though. :)ok, will do.
Use only one black for it.
Use 1 black and get rid of the pinks. Then you might be able to use HP Zteks for the drive and the weapons. Also, use shinies.

For GF93
@ Pwn: was obvious... weird that i didn't notice it.
Looks nice but sadly there were better/more creative designs :P
Might sound silly but does it really need that supervolt?
well then?
Also, i'd like to build a SHW 48HS. Any help would be nice.
Sure this can be made invertible.Nope, AE2 isn't

AWWWWWWWW YEEEEEAAAAA!
I removed the red extender and attached it with the back attachment point. The CB is inside the nifty. Still plastic though DX<
Comments?
AE2's actually moderately invertible if I recall.Sure this can be made invertible.Nope, AE2 isn't
You need to add more weopons. Try maces and/or irons.it's a BW....
why should he rebuild it into an entirely different form of HS? don't understand this at all.Because if he removes all that weight he'll have a moar wieght for moar razors
Remove one of the HPZ's no
shrink the chassis Its as small as it can go
and moar razors. no.
why should he rebuild it into an entirely different form of HS? Exactly.Because if he removes all that weight he'll have a moar wieght for moar razors no. it worked well the single HS way, but better this way.
I dont really like assymetry in my robots (weird, i know.) so i don't really want to use that setup. sorry.Well, the motors would be centered if you you moved the snapper off-center by a bit :P
Any other ideas?
then the chassis would be assymetrical :/You could extend the chassis on the other side to compensate for it. Might be able to bring it right up to 249.0 if you do that, but sometimes you do end up with asymmetry, especially in the lighter weight classes. Look at Tempus Fugit.
At that state you didn't even need a bursted setup. An anchor + 2 extenders and using shinies can give you more weight for casters/ramming stuff.i dont understand. can you describe it more?

oh hold on. you dont need to. i built a bot in 10 minutes which does very well.

WHY WILL NO-ONE COMMENT ON THE POPUP (except ty4er-Thanks dude :D)!!!?
Ahem...
I will shrink the chassis, but it will probably turn out weird.
Edit: Hold on, i think i have an idea...

hecko? anyone there?Hai.
Needs frontal protectionWell, how do i do that then?
At this point I would be somewhat afraid to use up the weight as that might screw up the weight distro. D:Since the ramplates are mounted on Snappers and extenders, he could just swap the 40cm ones with like 60cm ones, and it would make the ramplates cover more of the front.
You do need frontal edge protection, though.
Ah, It's good to be back :approve:Pushers are actually slow rammers(4wd, or if you‘re desperate 2wd) that try to beat the opponent not by speed, but by weapon weight. So ditch the snowplow and put as many weapons as you can( maces if you use snappers to mount the weapon rack or axes if you use baseplate anchors).
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20566RammaHamma.PNG)
So, I made this bot after many failed randomisations (great program btw), like a Stock AW trinity with two wedges and heavy weapons (is that even possible?)
2 blacks (woo!), Empty space, 6 HPZ's. Couldn't figure out the setup for the front pusher setup, but maybe that's because i've been away for about a year.
Any Criticism welcome (including the 'OmG Y u No DefEat EmrGEncy!!11!' stuff :P)
Pushers are actually slow rammers(4wd, or if you‘re desperate 2wd) that try to beat the opponent not by speed, but by weapon weight.Where the heck did you get this from? The pusher has to have a stronger, if not equivalent drive compared to the opponent so it can actually do the pushing.
I think nary said that when 090901 made a Dark July pusher at his DSL showcase. But there‘s 2 things he can do: 1.use a 20cm instead of a 40cm for the extender after the t connector and 2. get rid of the wedge(unless he still wants to stay true to the randomiser).Pushers are actually slow rammers(4wd, or if you‘re desperate 2wd) that try to beat the opponent not by speed, but by weapon weight.Where the heck did you get this from?

Are you kidding me?Pushers need fast drives to shove their opponents into the walls and hazards, or to pin them.Anyways i reccomend at least getting some weapons on there other wise it will lose by points often.Ah, It's good to be back :approve:Pushers are actually slow rammers(4wd, or if you‘re desperate 2wd) that try to beat the opponent not by speed, but by weapon weight.

Well, The plough is a placeholder for a weapon rack. I need advice as to how to mount it more than anything.maces if you use snappers to mount the weapon rack, 12axes if you use a baseplate anchor to mount the weapon rack.
Also need advice on the type of weapons used.
Yes, staying true to the randomiser, also.
Done.use another snapper, and keep going until you hit the weight limit ( you can change the razor into an iron to protect the front better, and use green snapper wedges cause they‘re wedgier and save weight for moar maces).
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49079RammaHamma (weapon rack).PNG)
I need to use up the rest of the weight though...
Any Ideas? (oh btw it now actually beats EMERGENCY! :P)

Well, it's been longer than I'd thought. I may return for good, I may completely forget about this place again, but for now, I just want to say I seriously want to punch my annoying former self. I really do. I also want to do the same to AGOD, which I had forgotten existed >.<
With that out of the way (and to get the ball rolling), here's a psycolone popup.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85634Psycolone Popup.PNG)
Generic, but fun. Thoughts on what I should build?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72905SQ 2.6.PNG)For the Popup, you can try making a poopup (a 6WD popup).
So, the question is, how do I shave off that 0.4 kg?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71943Popup Heavy.PNG)
Also, the question is, how do I add about 170 kg? That's a triple stacked black btw.
I'm bad at building higher weight classes.
You could save 0.4 kg on your first bot by using a chassis with 6 points on the baseplate instead of 8. It wouldn't make it any more original, though.

I actually don't think this is true. Sure you are removing surface area on the sides, but you are also adding surface area on the top and bottom.
Trov was right, I managed to get it done.
I also decided to remake the chassis again. This was the result.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14041Star Piece 3.1.PNG)
Doesn't work as well as I'd hoped, but still works. 2 pinks, normal Z-Tek, Plastic.
BW-Star Piece 3.1
Actually, you only need one black. Assuming that there are only four spin motors, they draw a combined total of 40 amps, and you are supplying them 160.
Removing one of them will leave you with thirty extra kilos. Although I'm not quite sure what to do with them, so this is optional.
Also rotate all of the razors with the same orientation, as Wacky Bob (indirectly) said.
An HS would like to eat those tasty side extenders on the FS.That's the point though, he wanted the extenders to take the hit rather than the discs. That said, ditching that in favor of using razors for protection could be worth it, or just using a bursted setup with birds.
uhhh you could just attach the t directly to the anchor
The hell am I doing I should really be preparing for the osu! World Cup not building robots in a game I haven't touched in a yearSo, do you have plans to enter that into Robotic Murder Party 2?
(http://puu.sh/BWJco/871db115ff.png)
Face Hugger 2, Pixel Tight chassis, rest should be visible.
Side note, which stock AI packs are good these days I'm bored of killing Emergency
Hey nice to see you around here again!
Honestly, for improvements, I'd probably say to maybe just give it better drive, cause HPZ's would work wonders, and I honestly can't see the samurai swords doing anything other than hinder its performance.
Also, for AI packs, I'd say maybe Starcore V4, INF AI, PYS AI and ReStocked 2018 would be good picks for testing if a bot is viable or not.
Did you use the stacking technique where you rotated the chassis repeatedly and zoomed in and out, or did you use a different technique?
Anyway, that's very clever.
IMO the last 2 bots show why sometimes the tightest chassis isn't the best setup you could use. More extenders just mean more points of failure.
For example, you could make the drum chassis wider so the snappers can be attached to the anchors (or even better, the baseplate). It should weigh roughly the same and it gives your bot more HP.
While the VS was purely for novelty, you're right. I don't think the drum bot is the best I could make, I got too fixated on the idea of a snapper setup I had in mind and forgot to pay attention to much else. Didn't have much experience with heavies back when I was active and that really shows
Snapper setup wasn't even that good either
Also the snappers probably could have been attached to the anchors anyway I'm not sure I was thinking logically when I put them on extenders
better... try to fit the snappers inside your bot's chassis.no the wider wedges help more than a snapper being inside that will never get hit unless hes already doomed anyway
I really like it, but the extenderwork for the plow setup is hella janky
If the plow thing's what you're actually trying to achieve, then you probably just want to tweak your new wedge setup. Rotate the extenders holding the snapper so the snappers are pointing towards the back, then build your plow setup from the ends of those extenders. Should be just enough for a top plow or bracket wedge.
whoa this might be even better than wandering spinners
nice acronym btw
hi i just invented a new robot type!!1!
I call it the Axle Reaction Spike Emitter!
It drives really fast into the opponent and then it makes them hit the bracket wedge and then the axel spins and then the spikes hit the other robots on their exposed bottom side and then it does it over and over and then the other robot dies!
It doesn't work
The reason the setup works on whatever Click made (Ludicrous Speed? I can't recall) is because on the limited freedom on its axle. With 90 degrees you can guarantee that the weapon will return to its position but with a freely spinning axle you'll probably have to move back and forth to nudge the weapon back.
Yeah, try a nifty and a round extender instead of square extenders.Lol no

Yeah sure let me just underpower my burstmotor and add extra unnecessary weight on a robot I don't even remember building for the most part :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
Honestly, blue snappers aren't bad for popup wedges. If you angle them just right, they can be seriously effective. The shorter the setup, the better.a ddt wedge is beyond a a waste of weight at lw level
I'd recommend DDTs, because they pin wedges down with excessive force.

Happy 10th anniversary, me.
This place shaped me a lot in my early years of highschool, and I'm incredibly thankful for the time spent here. Most of the 2010-2014 lot have moved on and honestly I don't blame them, though I do miss them and think of them from time to time. They put up with me when I was an attention starved kid, and I wish them well wherever they are.
I've had a blast with this game and with this community. Thank you all for being who you are, and continue to be. Maybe I'll be seeing people at live shows in the UK again soon once I start winding my competitive osu! career down.
Here, have an improved White Blob, the most memorable robot I made:

Two blacks, 4x HPZ drive, as airtight as a DSA chassis gets whilst still having enough space for stacks. Not tested the wedge against anything, just built it because I'm feeling nostalgic for times long gone.
