Title: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: Hard Bot on February 04, 2011, 08:16:04 PM
 This is Kill. It has 2 pink(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9150screenshot_17.JPG)s and 1 supervolt. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10877screenshot_16.JPG)

- Don't use pinks.
- Make the motor less exposed (servo loading?).
- Minimize chassis space.
- GIVE IT A PAINT JOB, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
- It needs a wedge.

It's called Snapper loading.
Also, it DOESN'T need a wedge.
Insides would be nice.

Yes, we need weight aand inside pics
Straight away though, I can tell you the setup of the weapon is very bad, I suggest you look into snapper loading.

- Don't use that kind of weapon. HS or VS, you choose.
- C'mon, you can crop better than that!
- You only need a Nifty.
- Shrink chassis.
- NEVER use static wedges.
- If you use a wedge, make it stick out farther than the weapon.
- Don't use discs, use tribars instead.
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: R1885 on February 05, 2011, 11:32:53 AM
First off, you really need to work on your cropping skills.
Second, its not bad, but it could be better. You could rotate the extenders on the spinners 90 degrees so they would line up with the the razors already on the disc. You could also downgrade to a nifty, and stack the control board into it.

Post by: Jack Daniels on February 05, 2011, 11:51:49 AM
Hahah. You are all so critical.  XD

I am going to point out some of the things you are doing right.

-It looks like you are making an effort to keep the chassis small-ish. Keep it up, try to seal things up in there to avoid wasted space as much as possible.  The less weight you use on your chassis, the more you have available for weapons.

-You are focusing on using Shiny Wheels. Good job. Those are very efficient for smaller bots.

-You are using an HPZ tek which is a powerful motor choice to work with.

-Wedge is cool... stick it out further so that it wedges the opponent before the weapon though.

-Low chassis height is good, looks like you still have some mobility if your bot gets flipped.

Great starter effort! You have a lot of potential.  Try not to take the critics too seriously, but strive to improve.  You got some of the basics pretty good.   :D

Post by: martymidget on February 05, 2011, 12:17:00 PM
If thats a lightweight HS you dont really need a wedge :D

A tribar is probably better for a HS design, but if you want a face spinner you want a disc and the front attachment points, but then you will need a wedge.

-prepares to be shot by the pros- :P

- Shrink chassis
- Only need a Nifty


Other than that, it's pretty good. :D

BTW, If you want to crop the best, open the picture with Paint and select the Select tool (looks like a box) in the upper right. Make a box around the part of the picture you want and press Ctrl+C (or Edit tab+Copy). Then, go to the Image tab and select, "Clear Image". Once the Image is clear, go to the Image tab again and click on, "Attributes". Make the attributes 1 by 1 (in pixels). Then clear out of JUST THE ATTRIBUTES WINDOW (not Paint itself) and press Ctrl+V (or Edit tab+Paste). And that's your cropping tutorial (or at least how I do it :mrgreen:).
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: ty4er on February 11, 2011, 09:42:33 AM
OR you can do it my way  :approve:
Go edit the picture in paint and use the little box tool (selction tool) near the top right of the bar and put a box around the bit you want.
then put it in the top left corner and click outside of the picture (the grey area) and in the bottom right corner is a little square.
Click on it and drag it to the bottom right corner of the bit you want to use.
Sounds confusing but you'll get it eventually  :mrgreen:

FIXXER is an old and outdated bot.
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on February 26, 2011, 10:40:02 PM
Which has always been weak to HS's in any case (see FIXXXER vs. Flail).


That said, Kill IV is not a bad bot.  A bit overkill on batteries, but that's really the only thing to possibly complain about.  3 irons + 6 razors is quite good weaponry for a LW.

Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: NFX on April 08, 2011, 06:23:43 AM
Getting better, I think. Try Snapper Loading the weapon motor to get some extra speed from it. And with this design you do only need a Nifty Battery. Irons are good if you need extra reach, but I don't think you do, so I'd use maces here. The collision mesh helps to protect the vulnerable extenders a little from an opponent's weapons.

On the subject of cropping, if you just use the Select Ractangle tool to select the part that you want, and then press Ctrl+Shift+X to crop the image to your selection. It's a lot quicker and easier than selecting and moving it about.

One pink and DSA or two pinks and Plastic? (or just one pink and Plastic? I don't even know :P)

The middle extender seems exposed. You might want to consider attaching your razors like so:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67087AW.jpg)

(the razors seem too high because I accidentally raised the baseplate anchor :P)

...to protect the extenders better and to sneak in between other people's weapon racks which have been arranged like yours. I understand the wide weapon range, though, it's a 4-way rumble so you'd probably want better protection. Anyway if you do go with ^^^, it gives you 9 extra kg for another pink or possibly DSA if you have Plastic. If you stick with your current setup, try to get some razors rotated so that they are oriented the same way, that way they'll hit at the same time. (even if it's just the two razors on the ends)

(why am I giving advice?)

The extender is vulnerable to head-on frontal attacks, i.e. rammers, which you will see a lot of in an AW tournament. Spinners attack from the sides, so Berserker would have hit the razors rather than the extenders.

I'm assuming it has two pinks then, because Riptide from Starcore has the exact same components other than the razors (it has two extenders and three irons, but it still adds up to 34 kg like yours). If you haven't stacked a pink in there, shrink the chassis and do it. Your weapons will be a lot more powerful due to your improved drive and your power will last longer.

Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: NFX on April 28, 2011, 06:41:14 PM
Hmm, that's an interesting looking beast. For one thing, you'll want to rotate your weapons by 90 degrees, so they all point towards the opponent instead of towards the ceiling. You may want to swap the Irons for Maces, as they do a better job at protecting the weak extenders, and it's more likely that they'll all hit at the same time. Y connectors are generally not that good, as they eat up weight, and I can't for the life of me work out what that red extender on the top is doing. Pretty good try, though, but needs some work.

This how it worked: when it supposed to have DSA, I tried to add an extra Iron. But that exeeded 800 kg. So I downgraded to plastic, and fitted that last Iron on. It said it is 789 kg. So I used the rest of the weight to attach red extenders.

That's actually really good, great job. You're a bit overconfident in its abilities, but great nonetheless. I'm wondering if the wheels are a bit low though; doesn't it tip over and lean on the HP Z-tek? Anyway good weapon choice, good chassis, good component setup, and great job overall. Hands down your best bot so far, and definitely tournament viable. Excited to see more improvements like this in the future. I'm hoping the maces are all angled the same way so they'll hit at the same time?

The pinks are unnecessary, try to stack a second black in there if you can. The weapon setup looks like it could be much improved, however, and they look extremely irregular. So it won't move or spin cleanly at all.

Think again. It is VERY damaging. It can beat some effective HSes, such as Copyright Infrigerment  and Death Dealer.

At least it's a functional bot, which in of it self is an achievement to most of your machines, Sparky.

Ontopic: The bot is not that bad. Setup seems a bit sloppy but thats really about it. Removal of the pinks may help a little bit.

I never mentioned anything about damage. Any crawler like Sage's Bumble Bee is very damaging. I said that with the uneven and irregular extender work/weapon placement you have, it will be near impossible to drive in a straight line. And the HS's you fought are already slightly outdated, they were BBEANS 5 competitors, getting on for 2 years old. The 36HS was a revolutionary concept back then. Fight some other styles of bots - popups, VS's, et cetera, then get back to me.

Check out the BBEANS 5 thread, i'm not sure about sparkey, but there was a lot of hate directed at Sage for that bot, for these reasons aswell.

actuallly fracture i got a ton of RAGEEE at me for entering Bumble Bee into BBEANS 5. The idea was to get a crawler with fast controlled movement (which it has) but people missed the point and saw it as a cheap tornado bot of death (which secretly they were all scared to fight).

no worries though, i wouldn't expect you to be caught up on RA2 history this fast.

Thankfully you got off the hook fast when Bumblebee lost.  That'll show 'em!

It just goes to prove that really no bot is invincible in a tournament.  Heck I remember when Popups were consider cheap as well... People used to cry all over the place when those got entered in tourneys.  Nowadays they are totally accepted because people are used to them.

This is what happened: I thought I might run out of weight if I used DSA, so I used Plastic. Then I put on standard Aluninum to see If it's still a Lightweight, And it was still. It's weakness is no controlled movment.

Bit of a ridiculous name. And the weapons are uneven, so that'll compromise it. If you angle the HPZs downwards and outwards slightly, then you could have a bit less weaponry, and a LOT more control.

Those bots you are fighting have controlled movement, they are skilfully crafted bots that have the most balanced setup for weaponry, drive, armor and battery power.
What you've made isn't a proper bot, as it has no controlled movement, it's essentially a mosh of weaponry connected to a chassis.
Give it some drive (even if it costs you some weaponry), and do what NFX said to both weapon motors, rather than just the one.

No, you just haven't listened at all with that...if you want a robot in that sort of style, one of the bots you might want to look at is SD's Simply Volatile in DoD, or Volatile Partisan in BBEANS 3.

Robot building needs three main parts: Offense, Mobility, Defense. You just have pure offense. You are going to have no controlled movement of any kind, and any robot could easily defeat it.

Pretty much this. The one positive I've noticed over the past few pages is that you've stopped doing the cat stuff. But at least try to build some robots that would be viable in combat, because these are - quite frankly - terrible. Both as combat concepts and replicas. Look at some other showcases, watch Sage's Tutorial videos, and look around the Beetlebros. website for some more hints and tips, and learn how to build effective machines.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18971screenshot_50.JPG) Brony Enforcer can beat Tempus Fugit. Well, at least the prototype kind can. I have not test the real one against it. I hope it can beat Childs Play V. The protoype could not.

Well, you got the space efficiency down, I'll give you that.

Swap the heights of the tank and the anchors (and stack them if you can) and see if you can upgrade your drive to birds.




And why do you guys keep hatin' on him? For once he actually made a feasible (and somewhat cool) concept. Could be worse. Could've been his crappy HSes. :P

No wonder I couldn't see the wheels. Honestly, nothing on that robot matches, it just looks like a mishmash of random components thrown together without any order or structure. Try to plan ahead with your robots, and perhaps you won't have it ending up looking quite so messy.

Looks ok, I don't like that random Iron. And use Blue Snappers Instead of green ones. If you use blue snappers you could probably make it invertable as well.

It can be messy and good. Somewhere, I have an HS that has the chassis built to the full left of the wheels and the blade, and it still works fine.

You really should use SnapperII's (blue ones) to attach your weapon motors to, and you only really need two of them. You only really need two of the Snapper2's to mount four HPZ's on using the eFFe glitch, and that upwards pointing iron isn't going to be doing anything. I'd have added a second caster, personally. But with RAD Drive, that thing is going to be PAINFULLY slow. You do definitely have potential, you just need to be willing to follow advice and such.

For reference, here is Aquarius:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29194aquarius.png)
look at it while improving your replica of it.
replace that red extender and mace with all black extender, make the paint job a bit lighter, and put the pistons closer to the chassis for more similarity to aquarious.
(I'd tell you to replace the sledges with airtanks, but that'd require some BFE)
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 06, 2011, 04:31:24 PM
While I immediately recognized it, it's a bit faily...

You need to use the beetlebros axle motors for this, as well as custom wheels. Also external red airtanks and better weapons.

What he needs, is the mega adaptor.
External airtanks are easy with that.

This is a new LW bot called Combination B Exellent Force. It has DSA. Uses 2 casters and a downwards mace to protect against pop-ups. Please notice that it has a stacked control board on anchors, and those casters help its stability.

Well, that weight on that unboosted motor will give such a slow weapon spin speed.
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: NFX on February 13, 2012, 11:04:40 AM
There are more things to spend weight on than weaponry. Defense, for instance. If something hits that motor, you're dead. I would try to get at least one, if not both of the casters protecting the motor if at all possible.
Title: Re: Hard Bot's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on February 16, 2012, 10:23:40 PM
For some reason I like it.  It's actually somewhat different than the standard LW HS.  But the weapon should be on a Snapper II to get more speed.

...failure.

Compared to your LW HS it's just plain bad. Too slow, very poor weapon and wedge. "Realistic" doesn't mean "can throw all efficiency to the gutter for the sake of it".

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10984Scrap_Harper_outside.JPG)
This is what I believed would of been the inside of the bot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58762Scrap_Harper_inside.JPG)
I also assume that it has Double Strength Aluninium armour and  weighes 224.4 kg, because that's what the game calcuated based off the the components.

I am back to playing stock again since a few or so months ago. The Starcore V4A AI pack has challenged me to improve my bot building. Here is a bot I have already refined several times. I named it after a bot that was featured on the back of the cover box of RA2. I like putting sponsor decals on robots, even in stock. It has DSA armor.

Even though you named it after a generic robot, it vaguely reminds like Scrap Box from SCv4.

If you use a snapper setup and only one or two anchors, you should be able to get more spikes.

Actually, Spikes on baseplate anchors are harder to knock off, because there are no exposed extenders.
