J's Bots

[J]

I'm more of a DSL SnS guy, but I can tell you that if you take flails and put on a weapon rack filled with something along the lines of maces, razor tips, or iron spikes. It will be good.

Sure. I'll give that a try.

In the mean time-
Am I the only one who finds this funny?:

Yes, I have somewhat ben messing around with the word documents and using my own images for random stuff in the game.
(I make backups, so dont worry)

Do you have the 1.3 patch? I may be mistaken but I believe thats what will fix the blurry buttons.

I dont mind the blurry buttons. I actully know which button does what.
Appearently I memorized this game some time ago.

..........And I ave yet to download the 1.3

Yet another bot:

It has a tail, BECAUSE IM SO EFFING ORIJINAL LIEK THAT, DOOD
(...its suposed to be like an anti-flip gimmick, but ehhh, I need to remove it)

The front is the usual 'it has wedges' set-up.

My eyes burn at the extender work O.O

I was laughing the whole time I was building this thing.
Really, its THAT ridiculous

[Somebody]

No angle connectors.

[J]

No angle connectors.

Why? They use un-necessary amounts of weight?

[G.K.]

Aye, and are terribly brittle.

[J]

Aye, and are terribly brittle.

Ive always had extenders fall off before angle connectors do. Weird. Regardless, I think I can remove a few.

In an un-related note, something I was messing with the other day:

That chassis was originally horizontal.
And yes, that robot can actually drive on those 4 wheels

I'm going to try and make some weird drill-bot next(I said try), provided I mange to get a good idea going.
But at the current moment, I'm messing around with skins and what-not
(I had gotten photoshop 5 for my new computer today, and I'm all exited-like over it)

You don't always have to stay away from anglers, just use them sparingly. Usually you can get the same effect with normal extenders, which are lighter.

Yea, I USUALLY can.
But with Phantom Renegade, it was "different".

[J]

New Bot-thing~
It does exactly what the name implies:

I like the concept to this guy, and I'm thinking about trying to make something similar to Overkill.

[J]

Ok, I'm being serious again.
I like the concept to this current one:

The only thing I'm having some trouble(if you would even call it that) with, is what do I put in that empty space, and will I have enough weight for it? O,o
And yes, at the current moment, that robot is invertible. Its awesome.

[Sage]

Put a single DDT with a long wedge down the middle, and then rebuild the chassis to eliminate the rest of the space. More frontal armor too, covering the chassis.

The 3 Ram plates are armor enough, IMO, OR I could just use more Anchors.
And methinks 2 DDS might work better, as I can get more wedges that way.

[J]

So I was randomly loltesting my newest robot, right?:

I re-built the wheels a bit to where they are inside the bot, as the previous/above image had the wheels out. The set-up works better this way.

Side hammers work best when hybridized with rammers.  The front is typically very vulnerable (just look at your old BBEANS3 bot Mini Cutman) so having a tough weapon rack in front really helps with survivability.


Looks like a good start so far though... your building skills have improved in your absence.

Yea, I was thinking about that. But I went with ramps instead. Though i COULD replace 2 of the 3 plates with Iron Spikes, and then replace the ramps with an additional set of Iron Spikes.

The front is typically very vulnerable (just look at your old BBEANS3 bot Mini Cutman) so having a tough weapon rack in front really helps with survivability.

I'm guessing Ram Plates have low-er HP then your generic weapons. But again, I could try replacing 1 or 2 of the plates with a spike or 2. It might be more effective that way.
Though it WOULD annoy me if I had to re-build Prism Breaker from the ground up. But ehh.... >___>
(And I no longer have those old robots of mine. Though I wish I still had Ancient Clock).

Yea, I was wondering that myself.
Apparently I'm taking this game a bit more serious, and actually trying to build over-killing robots, when compared to my old ones which were going for more original designs.
But in a game like this, originality and the ability to kill stuff doesn't exactly go hand in hand.

Mini Cutman is in the BBEANS AI Pack.
