1. Does it have DSA?
2. There is a lot of left over weight.
3. That's a Heavy Weight?!
4. Why do you have 2 showcases?
-
Alright i re-edited Whiplash to a LW i had to sacrifice some weapons but no space was wasted

P.S. I see what you mean i must've double clicked or somthing because i didnt mean to do that.
-
Alright here is my next bot his name is speedbump. LW, flipper.

Hey guys its been a while since ive been on here i've been really busy with school and football so anyway here i go. Im making a new team of bots i will post them later.
GK3
-
Nice bots, GK3. You might shrink down the chassis, though.
(His 'DP's are fine,... necessary)
-
Yeah, Besides, I end up doing it a lot in my showcase.
-
For Whiplash LW: Nice, but:
-That thing is too unstable (the spinner risks touching the ground) - add a plow at the front.
-The chassis's too big.
Look at my LW VS. (the chassis can be made smaller, that said)
-
I know that this showcase is really old and i have not posted any new bots in ages. Even though i said i was working on a new team like 7 months ago. So anyways.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91576Broken Blender 2.jpg) first bot Broken Blender i have not really built in a while so i kept it real simple for the first couple bots and here is one of them that was actually effective. Here is a pic of the inside.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85982Broken Blender.jpg)Even though the small batteries have a bad weight to power ratio i put them in because the bot was running low on power in longer matches.
-
So, sorry, but is this an old bot or a new one you've built having not built in a while?
Either way there are obvious flaws, like the redbirds, and the pinks, and the fact that the ztechs arent HP.
-
zteks are not high powered for weight. Same with redbirds, and i already explained the pinks. I am going to start a rebuild to fix these problems real soon.
-
Isn't the weight limit 400 kg?
-
Yea it is i dont know what i was thinking. I redid it anyways here is Broken Blender V.2(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85242Broken Blender 2.jpg)
-
Here is my next bot named H1N1 its a MW, Drive: Z-teks, Armor: DSL, Weapon: triple stacked razors.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44817Deep Blue Splash.jpg)
-
Looks a bit underweight...
Try to rotate the razor setup 90 degrees so they all hit at the same time.
-
The name deep blue has been used, probably more than once.
-
Sorry i did not take the name but i had never seen it and it popped into my head so ill change it. And I am working on rotating the razors 90 degree's right now.
-
The armour is DSA not DSL.
-
If you're using fast drive on a HS, it's always a good plan to put the wheels on an axis with the spin motor(s) so you can do a sit-and-spin attack. This can easily be accomplished by switching the position of the weapon motor and the battery on H1N1.
Actually you could easily get that design down to a LW. Look at Shreddar from BBEANS3. Same weapon, less drive and less battery, but a LW.
Or you could use iron spikes/maces instead of razors. Lots of things you can do with the extra weight.
Broken Blender is good, I just think it would be better with the plow going the other way, with the wedge side down, so bots would have a little harder time going under it. Nothing major though.
-
Yea it was a lightweight but it i decided to make a MW version and that is what i posted. I am working on making it a LW again, and im putting the wheels on an axis with the spin motor. And on broken blender i ended up changing the plow a couple minutes after i took this picture.
-
Sorry for the double post but i fixed H1N1 i took click's advice and made it a LW, and i aligned it so it can sit and spin.

-
Weapon fail.
-
Ribbs you are WRONG again.
Ribbs:FAIL.
-
LRA2, don't give advice if you're not so good yourself. R1's right. GK3, rotate the main extender 90 degrees downwards so the razors hit the opponent at the same time.
-
I would love a match with Mammoth to try out my new SnS
-
Wrong thread, dude. Just wait for the AI pack to come out. You're not the only one who wants to KO Mammoth.
-
Weapon fail.
You can type more than two words per post, can't you? Next time, post something along the lines of "If you rotated the extender holding the razor tips on 90 degrees, both razors would hit at the same time, increasing the damage your bot can do." It's really not that hard to do, Ribbs. If you have nothing constructive to say, please don't say anything.
Ribbs you are WRONG again.
Ribbs:FAIL.
He was right, actually. Put a little more thought into your posts before you post them. You're only hurting your own reputation.
Gameking: Do what Pwnator said, and also consider re-building your chassis. You need to make the bits that contain your wheels smaller (a good rule-of-thumb measurement for RAMotors is 3 spaces long, 1 space wide. They're actually smaller than this, but it should do at first). If you make the chassis smaller, you might gain the weight to switch to an HPZtek weapon motor, also increasing your damage.
-
Alright i rotated the connectors 90 degree's and i made the places for the motors smaller. Which gave me enough space to put in a HP Z-Tek
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1258Deep Blue.jpg)
-
Raise the drive motors up so the bot is flat on the ground with the wheels barely touching (3 notches up.)
-
i had it like that at first but i. Well i forgot to do it this time. Edit:I fixed it.
Any other suggestions?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42341Deep Blue.jpg)
-
Well this might make it less original but it's your choice. Replace the Black with a nifty and go 9 razors, or 6 razors & 3 irons, etc if you've got the weight.
-
I thought about doing this and i already had it like this at the very beginning but i think i am going to leave it as it is. I might try to add some kind of protection on the front but i doubt ill be able to make it work.
-
the more generic the advice, the slower it becomes to looking like Spin Cycle...
Learn to build chassis'. It will help
-
I am rebuilding H1N1 chassis Later tonight.
-
I have not finished rebuilding H1N1's chassis so until i finish here is a bot i built the other day Named H1N2. It's more for show then anything. It's a LW, armor DSA, Weapon Double stacked razors (6 Razors). The big problem with this bot is that the motors need to be 3 clicks up which would make it more stable, but it would be really tall any other suggestions are welcome. Anyway here's H1N2:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60592H1N2 Splash.jpg)
Sorry about the double post, and crappy editing I am rushing because i have to leave.
-
Wrong thread, dude. Just wait for the AI pack to come out. You're not the only one who wants to KO Mammoth.
I know it's the wrong thread for this as well, but...
I already have KOed Mammoth. :P
-
Hmm, Try to angle the razors correctly, and you'll be able to Nail LW popups! >:)
-
I know it's the wrong thread for this as well, but...
I already have KOed Mammoth. :P
Do it in the combat arena :P
-
S32 what do you mean by angle the Razors correctly?
-
Do it in the combat arena :P
I would gladly, Do you have FRAPS and a high speed connection? I'd send you my bot if you would try it.
-

No actually. In fact, I don't even have a computer anymore. :(
-
Does anyone know what S32 was talking about with the razors because i didn't really get it.
-
Neither did I. You have the razors just fine.
-
Alright thanks for clarifying that. New bots soon to come.
-
Here is another bot. This bot has no name because i couldn't think of an original one. This bot is obviously not original but i have never really built one like this so i figured i'd give it a try. It's a MW, DSA, and i could have triple stacked all the razors but then i would have went overweight and i wanted to keep it a MW.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86090Spin 2 Win.jpg)
I might make a HW version later. Feel free to comment and give advice.
-
Well...what's wrong?
-
Yea i guess i didn't read it before i posted it. I fixed it though. Any advice or suggestions are welcome as usual.
-
I haven't posted any new bots in a long time i just made this one the other day. Name: Lithium Chloride, DSA, VS, MW, and Thats really about all there is to it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/278Sodium Chloride.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35473Lithium Chloride 1.jpg)
Comments are welcome as always anyways here is LiCl
-
it reminds me of a tank, whats the paintjob look like?
-
I have not made a paint job for it yet but I am planning on working on it later tonight and I will post it when i finish it.
-
Sorry about the double post. I finished the skin for LiCl it is nothing special just something I threw together in 10 minutes.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47881My Robot texture.bmp)
This is what I imported in as the skin.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8499LiCL.jpg)
This is what the skin looks like on the bot.
-
Skin looks pretty good, but you should fix that empty space you have.
-
reminds me a bit of JD's RAW 2 bots
-

I actually noticed that to, but I want to assure you it was completely unintentional.
-
how bout you try angling the plows a tad so they make a \ / rather than | |
-
The only reason I didn't do that in the first place is that it didn't really seem like it would serve that much of a point. I'll give it a try though.
-
Judging the skin, you might of ruined it with all of that dirt. Seems a bit excessive.
-
Sorry for the double post i seem to be doing it alot in this thread as of lately. Anyways new bots soon to come so stay tuned.
-
just delete one of your posts :-)
-
I completely forgot about that thanks for the reminder.
-
Ok here we go. It has been quite a while since I've built anything. I just started building again about 2 days ago, and I have had to relearn the game essentially. Anyways here's the bot I made last night.
Name: Shifty
Armor: DSA
Weapons:27 Razors
Its far from perfect, but let me know what you guys think.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28895Shifty1.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94081Shifty2.jpg)
-
Defense doesn't win battles. You need more weapons.
-
top plows are useless. all they are doing are making it uninvertable.
do you have the snapperII? as in the blue one.
-
Yea I have the blue snapper. I was sure it would need a couple re-works to get it where it needs to be. Any other suggestions?
-
Can the razors to irons or maces
-
More Weapons, specifically Irons or maces over razors. Lose the top plows, anything else? Am reworking it as we speak. Well see what The final product is.
-
This is just a little something I put together to take a break from the many, many remakes of the same bot. I have been trying to make shifty perfect and after 15+ attempts its still not there yet. So in the mean the time here's a bot I haven't even given it a name but 3 irons, DSA. I am tired of being average so I want all the input, the good, the bad, and the cruel. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93019No Name No game 1.jpg)
-
A wedge is pointless on a single spinner as it will just push the opponent to the side. Should you keep the wedge in your design, your weapon should be angled to the front (so it sweeps the underside rather than hitting the side).
-
^^exactly what pwn said
-
...and the cruel.
Dude, this concept sux hard even from the blueprints. No way to make something good out of it. Just abandon this sh** and start a totally new bot.

I got caught up in wanting to make it work. Im moving on.
-
Im trying to crank out my first decent bot since I came back. So far its not coming along as great as I hoped. I'm sure something will come together soon. Im calling it builders block.
