1. But look at the weight. I can't put anything else into it.

and

2. Yes.

For the other bot


Use HPZs

you need one black for this

Shrink the chassis as low as possible

use shinnies

put Irons on the disk if you want a disk type, or use a Tri-bar.

Rammer: those axles are wasting weight. just put an anchor in the middle, use a t connector, and put extenders on the t connector. mount your spikes on the extenders. It would be better with 6 hp zteks for drive.
Title: Re: freeziez's Stock Showcase
Post by: Noodle on July 03, 2010, 06:21:47 PM
For your rammer, I got a bunch of suggestions.

First of all, use double aluminum.  Look at the beetle bros building techniques page The Ounce provided you the link for.

Secondly, use six HP zteks with shiny wheels.  You need only to make your chassis 6 tics above the lowest point in order to make it tall enough to fit zteks.

Thirdly, build your rammer on the front differently.  Do it similarly to the way it's done on the front of this robot:

You should replace disc of doom's disc with a tribar and dual razors/irons.  You could also put in 4 HP zteks and there's plenty of room for two black batteries.  Also, if you can mount the spinner on a servo or burst motor rather than a baseplate anchor, it will spin much faster.
Title: Re: freeziez's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 03, 2010, 06:52:28 PM
Please let us work on one at a time. On the spinner, you still need to shrin kthe chassis

No room, the HPZs are too big,

Post by: Noodle on July 03, 2010, 07:13:28 PM
Hey can you for once tell him something good he did

I'm trying to help him build better robots.  Filling my posts with fluff about how wonderfull he is is all good and nice, but it's not gonna help him build a better robot.

He is doing one primary thing I like, and that's keeping the chassis simple.  Simple chassis are excellent foundations for good robots.

Yeah, Disc of Doom. OK.

Well discs are rather inefficient, but if you really must keep the disc at least double up the weapons.

No room, the HPZs are too big,
(Still) No room, the batteries are too big.

Re-make your chassis.  This time when you do the height, make the chassis six tics higher than the lowest height.  This is big enough for both Zteks and black batteries but it still low enough for shiny wheels to reach both the top and bottom.
Title: Re: freeziez's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sparkey98 on July 03, 2010, 07:13:50 PM
Well, he did listen to the other advice. but still, I did the same "I'm not rebuilding the chassis" crap and look at how much respect I have.
Title: Re: freeziez's Stock Showcase
Post by: Noodle on July 03, 2010, 07:16:22 PM
I can understand why someone might be reluctant to rebuild the chassis, as it puts you back to step one of building, which is a rather uncertain position.

If you don't want to loose your current work, just export your robot and then try re-making the cassis.

Title: Re: freeziez's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on July 03, 2010, 07:33:09 PM
I don't mean it like that just telling him one nice thing is enough and then the help tips

When the bot is good I will tell him so. Until then I'll tell him things to make it better. It's not my job to make him feel good about himself, but to make him a better builder.


First off, if you won't rebuild your chassis and say things like "OH NOES IT WON'T FIT"  there's no point in me helping you out with anything else. Rebuilding your chassis is the most fundamental aspect of bot building, and just putting parts in a chassis is the most inefficient way to build. Remember this.

The second thing is the weight limit. LW ~ 249, MW ~ 399, HW ~ 800. What the heck are you doing with a 412 kg bot? It's easy enough to get down to a MW, just remove ALL the pinks and use ONE black battery. Instead of 4 redbird drive, use 2 HPZ or normal ztek drive. YES THIS WILL REQUIRE A NEW CHASSIS. Heck, this bot could be a LW if you used RAD drive.

Once you free up weight by making the chassis the right size (means close to NO empty space) then you will probably have more weight for weapons. You could double up the irons on the disc using extenders, for twice the damage.


Now for the popup. Remove the wedges on the baseplate extenders and put a DDT motor > 20 cm ROUND! extender > ONE small wedge. do this for both sides. Remove that horrible, inefficient, and ugly weapon system on the center DDT and use round extender with razors on them. Add another nifty to the left side of the robot opposite the one you already have, and remove the pink battery.

And what do you mean? Is it not good enough? It is perfectly fine. I'm a Lightweight. Don't expect me to build at your level.

He's trying to help you improve the bot and your building skills. Don't take it the wrong way. Those bots would easily beat the Stock AI, but not much more. As for people not saying anything nice, I'm sorry to sound so rude, but that's because there is very little about those bots to be nice about. The choice of weapon and wheel is good on the HS, but it will need many improvements before some people will call it good. Sorry for sounding brusque, but this is the harsh reality of the community.

OK. So I was in the middle of facing Alien Queen with Atom Smasher (just for kicks) in Starcore when my 13-year-old older brother comes walking by. He looks at Alien Queen and says, "That bot sucks. I made a bot way better than that that even beat EMERGENCY!!!1" (n00b comment) So I say, "Well, show me the bot, make a splash for it, and I'll put it on my showcase, and let's see what people like Sage and Nary think of it." He has poor splash-making skills, anyway. So he agreed, and here is his bot:

Take off the red extenders, there just a waste of weight, shrink the chasis, use hp zteks so you can ram, not push like you got 2 wheels when you have 6.... use shiny's or grannies. maybe put a plow or 2 on a snapper II and put it directly behind the spikes, just for protection if you lose some spikes. and also try to listen to what people say, it helps most of the time, not trying to be rude or anything, but yeah.

Those are the skinned HPz's from Sage's Skin Pack (in Downloads, under Textures, Edges and Decals).

Replace the Emergency wedges with standard ones.  The standard ones are supposedly "wedgier" and are a few kilos lighter.  Also, if you can get the weapon HP Zteks mounted to snappers or servos, you'll find they'll spin much faster.  Adjust the wedges so you can get Shiney Hubs.  They'll save you a good deal of weight and get your bot lower to the ground.

Aside from that, just keep doing what everyone else is telling you to do.  It's a good design, so if you just keep modifying it you could have a very formidable bot.

get rid of the pinks and put the air tanks/pistons in front of the drive motors, would save a lot of space and then you would only need single sided ice picks.

Because I messed up.

But when I went to change it, it AGODed and both HPZ axles went flying and now I can't find them.

So I took the robot design of the one in the picture and kept it.

You shouldn't really post bots if you know they have glaring weaknesses that should really be fixed before showcased. Unless you are having severe trouble and are in need of assistance.

Both of those HS are Rammer bait. Neither are well protected or well weaponed enough to consistently defeat a very common foe.

Naryar gave me 2 pieces of advice.

I lightened the extender work. However, I will get to work on making the chassis smaller to fit just 1 nifty in.

Doing both those things at the same time would have been a lot easier.
