Wow, you really like it Sage? I'm new here though.

Anyway here is my VS (I think that is what it is called):

Rate and comment! (And Sage... do you notice anything about this bot :P.)

Sage · « **Reply #41 on:** February 20, 2010, 01:00:13 PM »

I like this showcase not because the bots are amazing but because you actually listen to advice :)

Alright, so the main thing you should do is build to the weight limit (which is 800 kgs on a HW). Right now any decent bot you face will have 70 kgs more of weapons to beat you with.

As for the design itself, that middle spinner is kinda counter-productive, as well as completely vulnerable. I would recommend removing the center spinner and adding 2 more vertical spinners. That should really improve this bots performance. Also, you should test these bots out and then see what happens in battle before you showcase them, because you'll be able to fix things by yourself that way.

Also, the chassis is too tall. On the height slider while building your chassis, it only takes 6 pixels of movement for a vertical Snapper 2. It looks like you have 8 or so.

Have you looked at Clickbeetle's building tips? They help a ton.

Yeah, I have looked at Clickbeetle's building tips and they have helped.

I also tested this out and it did quite well. Also, when you say add two more vertical spinners, I'm not sure where to add them.

Sorry for the double post.

Here is the updated version of my VS:

It does VERY well in battle.

Rate and comment guys!

Those wedges aren't doing much dude.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #45 on:** February 20, 2010, 01:32:56 PM »

I think u should line up all the weapons so they all do damage at the same time.

@Reier-The wedges help to self-right.
@Squirrel_Monkey-They already do damage at the same time. Anyway, when the front motors get ripped off at least I have a backup.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #47 on:** February 20, 2010, 02:29:24 PM »

what Reier meant was that you should make your wedges longer so the snowplows don't block it from getting under stuff.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 21, 2010, 05:13:46 AM »

Ok, I made them longer.

I'm not sure what to build next... maybe a HS?

G.K. · « **Reply #49 on:** February 21, 2010, 05:36:50 AM »

Make the extenders holding the wedges 40cm's. And rotate the front motors so they are straight.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #50 on:** February 22, 2010, 12:06:10 AM »

They don't need to be straight, in fact having them like that protects the motors. Also the weapons in the back would be blocked if the front ones were straight.

Yes! Someone understands what I was trying to do.

Sorry for the double post.

I have found this website that I have found useful. It has helped me to A.I most of my bots. Here is the link:
https://gametechmods.com/rfshq/pafiledb/uploads/TUTORIALS/Making-AI-Robots.html

I've also been trying to mod arena's and have created a 60's type style combat arena.

EDIT: I've made a new bot called Eat Razor! (Help with a better name!)

4 stacked Supervolt Batteries, DSA and 6 DDTs.

Rate and comment guys!

G.K. · « **Reply #53 on:** March 05, 2010, 11:25:54 AM »

Shrink the chassis, change to grannies, add more razors. and remove the pink.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #54 on:** March 05, 2010, 03:44:55 PM »

You need alteast 4 times more weapons on a HW, unless its a Popup, then 12 Razors would be good enough.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #55 on:** March 05, 2010, 09:07:47 PM »

4WD=good and space management is good.

Suggestions:

-Use four DDTs instead of six, and put more razors on each DDT. This is more efficient overall.
-Try to get some wedges on, like on your VS.
-You can get some extra weight for said suggestions by using lighter wheels.
-Name it Dolby Digital Surround Pound (you asked for a better name, not sure if that's better but it's something.)

Naryar · « **Reply #56 on:** March 06, 2010, 02:53:47 AM »

Front armor (or weapons) is necessary as well. You don't want to get trashed by a HS, do you ?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #57 on:** March 06, 2010, 12:47:36 PM »

Ok, after listening to your advice, here is Dolby Digital Surround Pound! (Thanks to Clickbeetle for the name!)

800 Kg? Good job!
