Swap redbirds for z-teks, swap black for nifty and swap a flipper for some sort of weapon.
-
When I get home...
-
Stag if he was trying to build a flipper why would he put weapons on. Also, he won't have enough weight for what you ask, and 2 zteks on a LW is overkill. For maximum power a black battery actually isn't enough, as they put out 800 and DDT motors take 500 each, so a nifty would be worse. Sorry Stag, but trying to give generic advice backfired :)
-
Sweet. So... Any help other than stag's fail advice?

Try to make this kind of LW Flipper, This is my Purplesmith.

Can flip MW's, which is weird.

Much better. I still think two HPZteks on a LW is overkill though. I think redbirds and armor would be better.

I didnt say put weapons on the flipper, I said swap the entie flipping device for a weapon like a spinner.

He means that you should put on some external armor. Also, make the chassis a wedge or that will get raped by HS.
Oh, kay.

I've tried to add a wedge shaped chassis, and I can't. Any other suggestions?

what do you mean cant get a wedge shape? do you mean you cant get a wedge shape that will fit ddts, zteks? or you just cant make a wedge?

4 stacked pinks
DSA armour
Redbird drive
-
i doubt that razor setup is effective, do they hit at the same time? if anything just downgrade to RAD's because imo redbirds are somewhat of an overpower in a LW unless its a rammer, and use nifty battery to get max power. and can we see an inside? is it ztek weapon motor? hp ztek? redbird? after you do all of those things i mentioned then see if you have enough weight to put 6 extenders on the tribar so you can have both razors hit at the same time facing downwards. if you dont know what im talking about then look at some showcases that have HS's then you'll see what im saying about the extenders.
-
Thanks.

New and improved now!

mkay you downgraded, if a nifty doesnt fit, make the chassis like this
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58515Tut.jpg)
just a little smaller so it will be a LW
now you just need to have the extenders facing down connected together. i can show you what im talking about if you dont understand

jeez no need to be so bossy about it :realmad(
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16145tut.jpg)
the 1st extenders point is facing down, then you use another extenders side point to connect it like that, therefore adding 2 razors which hit at the same time and lower ground clearance

2 stacked pinks now and a HP Ztek. Steers a lot better now as well.
-
How does it do against Starcore bots? (or PYS, or Inf, but hey:P)
-
That's not even ultra-airtight (it's just a bit less than airtight). :P
THIS is how you make an airtight bot!

[Edit] Props to Inf for Spin Cycle 2's stuff. XD
-
How did you that putting the control board through the Ztek!? That would help shedloads.
-
Oops. Forgot to give credit to Inf for the bot (Spin Cycle 2). :P
What he did was he loaded the axle out, and just hovered the CB around until the game let him attach it. If you can't do it, you can always stack it in the nifty anyway.
-
How'd you do that, however? I think i know, but i don't think i do.
-
HPZ -> tribar -> RAD
And then axle load your RAD.
-
Need more in depth explanation how to do it.

I've made it even more Airtight now. The weight is no 244.7, and by my calculations I could save an extra 0.7kg if I did this Axle loading thing which I don't understand.
Video don't work for the axle loading thing.
-
Just tested the most recent version today. It can beat all of the starcore LW's (apart from popups and one HS), but sometimes, one attack can take off one third of the weapon setup in one blow, making it Mauler Dance. Any help?

Mind posting an image of the 'updated' version?
-
It's basically the version I've allready shown, but with a smaller chassis, and weighs 244.7 kg.
-
Can't do anything about that. Extenders have crap HP, so you're bound to mauler dance when you fight against juggernauts.

What is the problem with pinks? Blacks would waste quite a bit of space, and unless I get a good explanation, It's staying as is. It seems to work Ok as it is as well.

Dang...
Anyways, I don't rebuild this thing just to fit a black in... AH FROGET IT ILL DO IT ANYWAY :D
-
I think if you traded the iron spikes for razors, and then stretched the chassis back a bit (as well as make it a bit smaller), you could fit some more junk on that bot, as well as power it with Blacks.
It could work.
-
Everyone is wrong! Blacks put out 800, pinks put out 100. 8 pinks = 1 black. 30kgs =/= 80 kgs.
-

What do you recommend downgrading to get said 4WD?

Remove the middle system. Also, you can mount your whole weapon system on a single Snapper2.

anyway, yeah with some EFFEing, some good extender work you can put your weapons on 1 snapper. oooor you can just rebuild it and make the chassis longer, that always works! :gawe:

1 Nifty

drive seems a little much for MW VS, could probably get away with normal Z-Teks.
also irons have no normals so I would increase weapon height and have them hit with the sides.
-
Bad idea. The extenders got ripped off before the irons could do any damage. Anyways, downgraded the drive like you said.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20426screenshot_62.png)

Wedges are mediocre with that drive. Joe said to downgrade to Z-Teks. :P
-
We told you Z-teks, not birds !
-
I downgraded to birds, but since all you are screaming your guts out about it, i'll go back to Z-teks.
EDIT: The motors are attached onto 40cm. the bot now weighs 357.8, and has shinies.

You don't need that extra vertical extender. Show us the insides and we can probably help you gain weight for a caster in the middle.
-
I like it angled like that... But ok...

You can still get the desired angle if you lowered the motors and used the tribars' other AP.
-
That's what I did.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37screenshot_64.png)

Hmmm... you couldn't do much with the setup you have since it's efficient enough. Imma try a setup using 2 anchors and see if there's enough weight for a caster.

Well, DSA brings me up to 420.3. I could downgrade to normal Zteks and Redbird drive and make the wedges further apart, but that's all I can think up.

My guess would be shrink the chassis by attaching motors via snappers (you could use the wedge snappers, although Snapper IIs suck for wedges), or switch the irons to razor tips.

Done. DSA Armour added. Also, the name of this bot, for the moment, is Gigadrill.
-
how well does it fair?
I would try making the drive faster, and maybe making the weapon motors into redbirds or just z-teks. See how it goes then.
Lest, thats what I would try. O, and add razor tips :P
-
I'm VERRRRRRRRY against having razors on this thing, unless there is some distinct proof that Razors are better. Also, Z-teks really aren't needed. Redbirds perform just fine on this.
-
you don't have to add razors if you don't want to, but try it with faster drive, just to see how it goes.
-
Did a 'lil speed test. With Zteks, it takes 3.5 seconds to travel the lengh of the test area. With redbirds, 4 seconds. Personally, not worth wasting the 8 kg's for just .5 of a seconds difference.
-
Speed Isnt All About How Fast Your Bot Moves, it Can Make A Difference In A Battle Of Strength, So if i were you, Ztek the heck outta that Sumbich.

I take it you forgot to read again...

HPZs help turning, not only straight line speed.
And I need to make a mental note to test those motors now...

Since all you guys have been begging me to add Z-teks, here ya go. Downgraded the weapon motors to Z-teks and added Z-tek drive. The wedges seem better as well.

Call me crazy, but if you mounted all of the frontal weapons/wedges on a Snapper, you could probably save a lot more weight ;)

Call me a nub, but what the heck is the obsession on mounting wedges on a snapper, just use a angle extender.
-
Wedges on snappers beat static wedges nearly all the time.
-
What do they do, actually flip or just do nothing?
-
Not usually unless for srimech, but it puts pressure on the wedge, making it more... hmmm how should I say this? Wedgier.

Wedges on snappers take up a lot less space, actually touch the floor, and allow for more weapon-mounted shenanigans.
-
Wedges on snappers take up a lot less space
I would argue that, but I think it's the little bit of flex in them that makes them better than static wedges when they're angled against the ground a little bit.

True.
And you always could just have anchors facing to the right/left

TX, A good example is in ROBONOVA 2 in POP-sicle and The Angry Coffin VS Hydro And Byebot, POP-sicle has static wedges.

Why are there still 4 S-2's? And crop your pics!
Sorry G.K, keep forgetting. 2 of them are for the wedges, the other 2 are for the 4th and 5th FS's. The gap is too narrow to fit a S-II into, so I can't fit one in. Sorry.
IDEA: What do you guys think about me changing all the FS's to HS's?
-
Nah, keep the FS's. Looks OK, except try to give your HS's longer reach.
-
That SHW looks 'effing demonic(<3)
I take it that it has 2 black batteries, right?

Yeah, it has 2 blacks. Gonna try and get a third one in there if i can shave the weight off.

I'm guessing you have 1 HP on each of the Snappers.
You could easily mount 2 HPs on 1 Snapper.
-
What I would do is try to put 2 extenders off each snapper then EFFE 2 motors on. Then you shave off a lot of weight snapperwise.
-
Don't put just a single razor tip on an FS. It ruins wedges with bouncyness.
-
Should be faster... even my 8WD SHW wammer for POW isn't fast enough to my taste.
-
Naryar, not everything is DSL. Not everything has ultra-super-mega-death speed, so get used to it.
-
Yours is a gut-ripper. And gut-rippers need a better drive than that to be effective.
-
It's a Face Spinner + HS combo, NOT a gut-ripper, so IDK what you're talking about.
-
Ever saw what happened to slow FS like Hellbringer, and ever wondered why fast FS like Billy Goat Gruffiest SCv4 are good ?
You need at least 6WD on this in order for it to go under HS/SnS/etc.
Also, wedged FS (if not ALL FS) work best when gut-ripping.
-
Have you ever wondered why Minesweeper can take on rammers even with a considerable amount of weapon handicap and the absence of a wedge? That's because the motors lift rammers up and chew up the undersides. FSes are meant for gut-ripping, not frontal assault.
As for the HS part, it is clear that 6 irons isn't even enough to chew up a HW. Surely they are meant to hit bots only when they have a clear shot at the belly.
So if you aren't intending it to be a gut-ripper, then you're doing it wrong.
@ Nary - Actually, Hellbringer can still take on some HS (BBEANS 5). JD just had terrible luck because he faced SC in 2 tourneys. But yeah, it could be built better. XD
-
Here's a generic 14 razor popup. DSA armour and 2 Supervolt's for power. Don't know what to blow the last bit of weight on though.

Try putting some wedges and frontal armour on if possible.
-

There isn't enough space to fit an Axle extender, let alone a Baseplate Connector or Snapper II.
-
yeah you definitely need a wedge. all those razors won't mean anything if you can't get under stuff.
-
And the chassis looks too steep...
-
......I dont think you need 14 razors.
You could try stretching the chassis out a bit in order to fit a 3rd DDT in there, provided, you use like a whole 8 razors.
Really, you dont need THAT many razors if you have a good flipping arm.
-
K, i've remade it now. 9 irons, DSA armour, 2 Supervolts, and an AWESOME wedge.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51464screenshot_82.png)

90 KG is too much for the DDT.
-
Awsemsauce looking wedge
If what i've learned about stock is correct, try razors not irons
You can get moar on then

I've allready got as many as I can fit on. Remember, rule of 7 (or is it 8? I DONT KNOOOOOW)

You need razors not irons. Its what took Missile Test from bad to good, and it works the same in stock.
-

Stock irons = 0.8 piercing
Stock razors = 1 piercing
DSL irons = 1 piercing
DSL razors = 2.2 piercing
Therefore, your argument is invalid. Plus irons do have twice more HP than in stock.
I am wondering if Stock irons might be worth it on popups just for the 1000 HP ?
HOWEVER, what they say is true : 9 irons is complete overkill on a single DDT.

Great ? Do you know what a "great" popup really looks like ?
-
Probably not. :P
-
It's quite compact, which I assumed to be a good thing. Personally, I would swap the irons for razors, maybe lower the weapon count to six, and add some frontal protection, 'cause a good HS would eat that thing up in seconds.
Also crop your pics. *drinks* =P
-
But the razor weight gives you more. Therefore better, because you can get extra razors.
-
Well, I count 8 irons, so 8*(10-7) = 24 kg, which conveniently equals one baseplate anchor plus one ramplate. =P
-
I'll see what I can do about front protection, but it allready has DSA, so I really don't consider it a priority just yet.
-
Too many Irons on a single DDT. Otherwise great though.
Wow I must have been in a good mood when I wrote that.
Err, a good pop-up stems from having 2 stacked blacks, snapper 2 wedges, HPZTK drive, and frontal protection. 4 razors min.
Even I know that's a good setup.

Yeah, you can't post .bmps on the site. I've been stopped a few times when I forgot to change the file format. A bmp and PNG file have more or less the same quality, but PNG takes up a LOT less space.
Also, a cropped PNG would take up roughly one tenth of the space of an uncropped one. =P
-
Regarding the bot itself, it would be better if you made a tribar-shaped chassis and put the Z-teks in a triangular pattern. It would be more stable and more protected on all sides, and would make a quite fearsome Bumble Bee-style SnS.
Also, please do crop your botlab.
-
Armor?

I get the Chassis to be 72.1 kg, so I'm guessing it's DSA.

Looks great! Probably near unbeatable in the combat arena.
Actually... come to think of it a Nifty would be enough to power this. That would let you upgrade six of the razors to maces or irons, two on each disc (14 kgs + the 4 you have left over), which would help against HS.
And cropping pictures= :claping

you want more height, not disc protection. use irons or razors on extenders.

No idea what to waste the spare weight on
DSA Armour

Swap the Irons for Razors. Razors are best for popups. I reckon you could add a second Supervolt with the extra weight.
-
Use shinies aswell, I doubt it's invertible with those wheels.
-
It shouldn't have to be, it'll self-right fine. If you add razors and a second Blackvolt, then you'll have a Psycolone Popup.
-
underpowered, and too much weapons. Do what NFX said.
-
Here's Hourglass Of Time II.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3558II.png)
Now with 2 blacks.
-
Make the flat side of the razors face up so tha they hit the other robot.
-
I'm not sure it really makes much of a difference, as long as they all face the same direction. You could attach a second extender alongside the first one for the wedge, to move it towards the center, and possibly make it a bit shallower.
-
I prefer to use pointy side out personally.
-
Same for me. In theory, would the flat side not give you more of an area to hit the opponent with, and actually give them a little more distance to travel, allowing them to be travelling faster when they do hit?
-
But that more distance to travel puts them closer to the oh so vulnerable extenders.
-
Popups are designed for quick KO's. And most bots don't get a chance to attack the extenders, given that they're normally buried deep within the chassis. I wouldn't really be worried about the extenders if the popup's been well-designed.
-
Use another extender so your wedge is centered. :P
-
MOAR RAZORS!!!
J/K, It looks good. =]
-
Meh, Random FS.

DSA
If you're wondering how I got the wedges like that, it's 40cm round -> T connector -> 20cm round -> Wedge
-
Looks good. making everything negative looks a little odd tho xD
-
I'm not sure if anything's actually going to be outwedged at all if the spinners are that close to the wedges. You could have used another 20cm extender instead of the heavy T connector with the wonky collision mesh. I'd suggest moving the weapon motors further back, so you can actually outwedge stuff effectively. You could attach the drive motors with just the one extender if you wanted as well. And try to connect the weapon motors to the same extender you used for the drive instead of the wedge one. Adding weight to the wedge extenders screws it up somehow, with things like ramplates.
-
PINK CONTROL BOARD !?!?!?
And yes, attaching the FS to the wedges => instant wedge fail
-
I can't move the spinners and further back, and the wedges seem to be doing fine, taking out nearly every MW wedge in Starcore V3.
-
You can if you Snapper Load the extenders on.
-
Anyone fancy telling me how to do that?

Thanks for that, that's really helped a lot.
-
You take a SnapperII, attach an extender to it, then a RAD motor. Spin the RAD motor, and the axle should glitch off-center slightly. Change tabs while you're spinning, then spin the motor again, changing tabs very quickly. Repeat this, and the axle should glitch further each time, and the SnapperII axle should start to come loose. Eventually, it'll be off in space somewhere, hopefully not too far away, then you attach an extender on the back, remove the RAD and extender, hover another extender over the SnapperII axle, and fire the snapper. Click to place the extender in space (eFFe glitch), and hey presto. Snapper loaded extenders.

Using Venko's Axle Glitch, I made my antweight. with no batteries, no control board, and DSA, may I present...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42279Tantrum 2.png) Tantrum 2.
If you don't understand how the glitch work, i'll tell you. Placing this many axles in a chassis this small causes a small, allmost nasty pickle-ish effect, in which the spikes go flying all around the bot. Usually does between 40 and 500 damage per shot. Untested so far, but I'm gonna test it right now.
EDIT: G2G to a parents evening now, be back in around an hour or so.

Even if it is cool to pull off a glitch like that, it isn't really appreciated around here. I think you should keep working on your popup for before before you build freaks. ;)

Just because something's obscenely powerful doesn't make it good. It's more likely to kill itself than an opponent, bouncing around the arena like an elastic gerbil or something, slamming into the walls. You can't even point it where you want it to go. I'd be willing to bet in the BBEANS Arena it'd throw itself straight into the blade, or comically vault over the side wall.

Actually, it doesn't seem to jump that high, it jumps a lot, and because of this, not much damage to the spikes.

starcore v.4 riptide chassis? :P anyway turn the weapons horizontal instead of vertical just in case you face a bot where the top 2 razors have no effect due to it being smaller in height.

Yep, how did you guess? :P
Anyways, I'm not really sure what that'll do, as it can already beat all the AW's in SCV4.
-
1. Because i used it to make the mini billy goat gruff and the weight left over is the same to what yours has left over.
2. It would just make sure all your weapons hit instead of just the bottom 2.
-
Ah, Ok then. Oh yeah, I remember you having a different AW chassis that was 1.5kg lighter. What happened to that?
-
should be the same one that's on the botexchange, and I also uploaded one with 2 pinks and DSA if your interested in makig AW's with DSA it only adds about 6-7kgs to the bot compared to plastic.

I have recommended over the years, and this is true for Bumble Balls, Glitch Bots, some Sit'n'Spinners and other types of Weapons for wheels bots, if it cannot chase down a stationary Dummy Bot before timeout occurs it is very questionable on showing controlled movement.
Starcore
-
Yeah, that's the thing about axle bots, they only go where they feel like it. Also, if they get 2 of the extenders ripped off on the same side and then land on that side, the bumblin' stops. Which sucks.
Also, Star, I've noticed you, Inf and Zero have been posting more. Are we going back to 2008 or what?

God, took me 2 hours just get this from scratch:

Either building takes skill or I really suck at this.

Whatcha doin'?

Whatcha doin'?
5FS.

If those DDTs are for wedges, then you're doing it wrong.
Also, sometimes it's better to have more stuff on the baseplate rather than place everything on some snappers. It's more reliable (pertaining to non-havokyness) and you won't have to spend so much time snapper loading.
Try one with bursted drive and your 5 FS on 3 anchors.
-
lol, it took you 2 hours to do that?
-
Snapper mounted drive is something I've always avoided just because axle loaded drive doesn't require all that weight wasted on snappers.
But do what Pwn says if you are going to use it.

24 razors, I'm guessing? I'm also guessing RAD drive. My worry is, with only one Nifty, it's going to drain its power far too quickly, and it look decidedly lacking in defense. Reminds me a little bit of Borg Queen from the Starcore packs.

Use 1WD.

1WD's overrated

I am really not a fan of 1WD bots. They'd only really work when there's one spinner, with the torque turning the bot in the other direction, so the 1WD would cancel it out and the bot would actually move forwards. I think 24 razors is a bit much, personally, I'd stick to 18 as the maximum you can get away with while still maintaining a reasonable level of OMD balance.

Saves on battery power, less extender work, more weight fore weapons...

That's actually quite nice as far as an example of the limits of a Mw HS.

Can't think of what to waste the rest of the weight on. I was thinking of adding a snowplow. DSA.

Really steep wedge there and weak drive.

So you're saying extend the wedge and try and add Redbirds?
Got it.

HP-Zeks, more like

Chassis should really be shrunk a bit, I reckon. HPZ drive is a must, and you shouldn't have that many weapons.

HPZ on a LW popup? Good luck with that.

That's what I was thinking. I was gonna put standard Zteks on it.

Is it just me or is the weapon Snapper slightly stacked in the Z-tek?

nope, the wedge snapper is too. Strange.

Awesomely made and skinned; I really like it. Not sure why grannies and squares though.
So what does it actually weigh? :P

nuuuuuuuuuuu another flipper
Why you're so worried?

looks good. I like the wheelguards.

SKIN THE FLIPPER DAMMIT

Should be invertible, if only for easier self-righting.

high ground clearance ?
on a FLIPPER ?
also swap the grannies out for rubbers

I cant have a wedge on Mr Brownstone so i'm gonna be oota'd D:

it's possible if you spam enough rupting ddt's (i.e. boon 7 (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Boon_7) or click beetle (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Click_Beetle))
heck even 2 ddt's could probably oota a hs with no wedge in 3 min.

No, Stock flippers really do suck, even if they're rupters.

I hope this was sarcasm, since Rainbow Dash threw 3 opponents OOTA in RW8... :ermm:

That bot is awesome.

Doesn't look it. I'd love for some ram plates covering the DDTS and a snow plow inbetween the flipper and chassis, but that would drive it up to a HW.
Nyaaargh.

it needs like an extender going acrossed so it looks like the flippers are connected

If he needs to conserve weight, he could just turn the DDT's around. I reckon the flippers would overlap slightly, giving the appearance of one component, and also match the width of the chassis better. Similar to Atomic II, I think

I'll do that tommorow.
