the spikes on this thing is to high,so the wedge shaped bots to prety good against it.
Bot 4:Tornado

anyways i can improve,criticism,good jobs hehe anything welcome stank u :D
-
Most of your bots are way too tall and have poor ground clearence. Also, don't use ballasts in your bots. They are useless. Build to the weight limit of whatever division you're aiming for as well. An 800 kg HW will have more weapons etc. 90% of the time than a 500 kg one.
-
razors are better for popups.
-
ok naryar and i will lower my bots and build to the wieght limit robo thanks guys
-
One more thing: use round extenders instead of square ones. They both have the same strength, but the round ones are lighter.
-
i would but its confusing to tell which is the top of the round ones like if u want to put another extender on that one to have 2 spikes or sumthin its hard to do that.
-
:D Showcase, yay! Didn't know Gir bot/Poptart killer could flip.
I don't think you need the extra red battery though. The competition with Reaper was funny. Phone call... :P
-
Here is my plan:
Each round extender in stock is an octagon. First place it without spinning it on the attachment point, then see with another extender which side the attachment point is on. Delete the original one and click to attach a new one. The side with the attachment point will be in the same place (if you didn't turn the first one), then you carefully watch it until it is pointing in the correct direction you want it to.
-
Aren't they hexagons?
-
One of the two shapes. I am not sure which.
-
i would but its confusing to tell which is the top of the round ones like if u want to put another extender on that one to have 2 spikes or sumthin its hard to do that.
download my skin pack. it has a marked extender.

ok thanks sage it really helped the flashing mace is cool to :D

any comments on how i can improve,new building ideas, anything welcome stank ya
-
add another black battery. and try to put some stronger drive, along with a smaller chassis.
-
Those are better then berfore, they have less chassis space but as Sage said, you could shrink it a bit more.
-
circle chassis is not very good most of the time as most of the components in RA2 are rectangular and do not fit snugly around corners.
-
Hurricane, Jupiter... Need I ask more?
-
Hurricane, Jupiter... Need I ask more?
Both are weak.
-
Spyder = exact same as Shreddar, but only with less spikes and bigger chassis.
-
sorry somestranguy i didnt kno that i copied your bot,but i never seen it before. anyways ill change it. and i can put stronger drive in cuz the battery wont fit, but it goes pretty fast with red birds. and what are u talking about system? jupiter is a full body spinner, and hurrican has 3 razors on each...sooooooo......yeaaaah...
-
have you seen many good bots that use redbirds here?
-
Shreddar was a bot in BBEANS 3, built by somestrangeguy
pic:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/entries3.jpg
It is in this pic, and the bots are in alphabetical order.
-
yes naryar i have mine :D. and oh i didnt mean to copy it i never saw that bot before,thanks for teling me ill change it so it looks different
-
Nah, its allright. That is the most generic type in LW HS, so its no big deal.
-
oh ok.
here are some battleshot wins for TREE and SPYDER
first TREE:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33700tree battleshot.jpg)
rapid pitbull was kinda easy
then i lost to neglected waterbug
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8956neglected waterbug lose.jpg)
but then i won yaaaaaay
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58638neglected waterbug win.jpg)
now SPYDER
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49690spyder battleshot.jpg)
infiltration was hard jeez
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82474spyder battleshot 2.jpg)
klip was easy
ok thats my battleshots for now more to come, are they good bots in battle? ok? minimum? or do they stink heheh all input apreciated.
-
Just look at all of the other ones in there too. It is almost all HS's.
If you want to prove how good your bots are, have them go for the front of the other bot, just like AI would.
-
that what i did with all of em that why i was blinking red while i was fighting neglected waterbug cuz i kept gettign stuck on top of him, and pitbull was easy cuz u just had to rip his motors off.
-
I am not sure how you got off of NWB, but okay.
I mean go absolutely straight into their front, and it doesn't look like you did that to NWB, but if you did, then okay. It does look Like you did for RPB though, and Spyder looks good.
-
i redid the nwb and i got ontop of him and got stuck but took off the lil spinners on top :D im happy now hehehe
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2508neglected waterbug win 2.jpg)
u can see he got no spinners at the far left of the picture
and thanks
and u can see his lil extenders that have the wedge on them and his front is smashed in :D
and i didnt know nwb used a tri bar o.o
-
Okay, now I believe you. That is a good bot.
-
haha thanks somebody :D
anybody got any more ideas on hwo to improve? anyways new bots!

That one thing(or TOT for short) has 8 blades 4 on each disk for a primary weapon and 8 spikes 4 on each disk for back ups if the blades get ripped off. its a ok bot but cant beat nwb clockwork, and lil darling and some other bots. any ideas on how to inprove?
-
Double post :o oh well :P 2 new botz!!
FIRST:WARNING: I POKE <-- i like that name :D (thanks to sage and somebody for the advice on how to make a pop-up :P)

well those are my bots more to come comment,ideas on how to improve stuff like that and stanks for the adviiiice. >:)
-
You don't need a black battery in that popup. Also you should be able to make it slightly smaller an fit all of your weapons on one burst motor.
-
Popups are way better with razors. Also, all the blades are unefficient weapons.
You're getting better. Did you used DSA?
-
ok thats an idea..and i just have the black battery just incase because most matches take along time and it runs my battery down fast.
but thanks for the advice
-
use extenders to put more weapons on the burst motors
-
okthanks for the idea somebody
-
On that one thing, blades are completly useless.
-
not really it flips them on there back, and when they break off it has the spikes, so it gets damage and has backup weapons
-
Blades => bad weapons.
-
oh...what should i put then? :D
-
Those spikes.
-
the ones i got on there? or the long skinny black ones
-
Wheely big dragon? Does someone play neopets ;DD?
Your bots are getting better. Want to have another online battle sometime? You look like you have a good chance of winning :).
-
Wheely big dragon? Does someone play neopets ;DD?
only someone who does would think to ask someone else.
-
Lol. used to once upon a time...
-
lol once upon a tme :P and i did too :P i just liked the dragon picture hehehe and sure i will whenever ur ready.
new bot!

yeees wasted spaaaace i knoooow but nuthing else would fit
its a good pop up actually can beat all starcore hw except for uber spiners like lil darling and sometimes has trouble with nwb
any comments nd stuff welcoome
-
You have a lot of weight left over. Try adding more weapons.
-
A few DDTs with a gob of weapons is generally better than a bunch of snapper2's with a few weapons. It also saves power.
-
Try attaching more armor such as ramplates, etc.
-
and what do u mean with a gob of weapons reier loland i will do that somebody :D
-
like, one strong DDT with say, 10 razors on it is better than four Snappers with 3 razors on each.
-
k thanks nub :D
-
Yay! -proud nub-
Do "Got downforce?"'s back razors ever reach the enemy bot?
-
like, one strong DDT with say, 10 razors on it is better than four Snappers with 3 razors on each.
that is one of the most stupid comments i have seen in a while. have you ever built a popup?
4 razors is heavy on a DDT for a popup. 10 is just idiotic.
NEVER EVER give advice which you know absolutely nothing about.
-
...quality>quantity
shadowarts...just wow...
king mager. you are one annoying son of a bitch. post less please.
-
?
I wasn't referring to an exact amount as much as I was trying to explain the idea behind Reier's sentence... >.<
"Say, 10 razors"
Nevermind.
-
okay. then REIER is at fault.
my mistake i didnt see the last page.
-
Sorry, works for me, maybe not others.
-
ahahahaah im an anoyying son of a bitch XD woo hehe ill try not to post more inf :P
-
:D Showcase, yay! Didn't know Gir bot/Poptart killer could flip.
I don't think you need the extra red battery though. The competition with Reaper was funny. Phone call... :P
as you rotate it count 9 movements is a 180 (i think thats what it was..) lolz
-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaalright im baaaaack!!! ^.^ been busy with football and school and stuff so yeah 2 more bots yaay!
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84987black flame vs inside da clock.jpg
this is black flame my new pop up its pretty damn good id say! my first actual good pop up. has 2 stacked blacks(my 1st time) ^^
heres a inside:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69574black flame inside.jpg
heres another pop up:grey matter 2 stacked bats again ftw! the blades on top is for hammers like jabberwock who have long rows of spikes,razors or whateva. and oooh yeah..good fight acams? lol just kiddin...or am i?
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80662grey matter bs.jpg
inside:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13565grey matter inside.jpg
more bots to come and yeah, they have a lil space left over but i dunno what to put there. any ideas?
(ps: yeah my camera software thingy expired, thats why i got those damn stickers!!
-
*gasp* no comments!! cmon lets see some!!
-
Unless the other bot is on top of you, the other spikes seem like they don't get action.
-
(ps: yeah my camera software thingy expired, thats why i got those damn stickers!!
It's called the F11 key...
Both have a lot of empty space that should be reduced. That would allow you to use iron spikes or spike strips as weapons instead of razor tips.
What do those lawnmower blades on grey matter do?
-
Here's a comment: You still suck.
-
lol!!! thanks infiniteinertia...and the blades take damage from hammer bots like,lets say jabberwock for example has those long rows of razors it takes some of the impact so the razors or spikes on the hammers dont do as much damage as there supposed to.h@z razor tips are better on pop ups then spikes or spike strips for sum reason i dunno why..and thanks for tellin me its f11 i never knew that :D. and what spikes are you talking about r1?
-
well you managed to poorly copy Epic and Inside the Clock from SC3, you deserve a round of applause...
...more like a single clap. or even a golf clap...
-
how did i copy inside the clock? i only got the body shape of epic i didnt know he had snappers 2s i thought he had ddts...and inside the clock doesnt have blades on the top and my wedge is longer...and i have poorly placed caster armor..
-
ooooook so im gunna try to make a 36 iron hs. and i wanted to know, is there a special way to do the motors? like i mean take r1's showcase, how he has the snappers 2s stacked in the back and then he has the 4 hpz in front and there kinda overlapping, how did he do that?
-
You need to use snapper loading and to stack components twice- the snapperII's and the batteries.
See Sage's signature.

thats not the only way.
niether ultimatum or Absolute Chaos used snapper loading or stacked snappers.
-
i finally got it :O buts its not 36...more like 32...
-
If it isn't 36, then no, you didn't.
-
stop being so mean all the time!
king, shwo us the bot and we can help you get it to 36
-
ok here the inside of it:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41184infinite reaper inside 2.jpg
and another inside
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55020infinite reaper inside.jpg
here another bot this one is the 32 one the one above is about a 20 something.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84724cow patty inside.jpg
-
The problem with your bot is that the chassis is too big. You need to precisely shrink the chassis around the components to get it to work. And 36 Iron HSs ccan never have enough weight for a plow or protection.
-
Chassis is huge.
Also, not more than 2 snappers on a 36 iron.
Stack the blacks and the snappers, too.
And Somebody i bet you can actually have protection on a 36 mace HS.
-
ok and how do u exactly stack the snappers.
-
Stacking Snapper II's isn't too difficult, just takes time. You must attach the first snapper, then position the second in the EXACT same position (or nearly) as the first, try to attach it by moving it around (slightly), and this works on either attachment point.
-
oh...ok i will try.
buuuuut how do you know how to do the chassis size?
anyways a new bot. i thinking about entering it as a bbeans contestant its pretty good,because the wedge is long and gets under bots before they get under the bot. i call him savior!!
an inside pic:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6650savior inside.jpg
a battleshot:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36274nwb win.jpg
good battle rpb :)
any ideas on how to make it better? dunno what to do with the other weight.
-
Decent, but the extenders on the wedge are vulnerable. Add some defense to them.
-
You have 50kgs to work with, use them
-
any ideas on how to make it better? dunno what to do with the other weight.
You have 50kgs to work with, use them
*Ahem*
I like that design, although it needs to be worked.
I'd add more defense, shrink the chassis, put a blade on the extender, swap the black and the snapper to have a shorter extender, put the snapper horizontally to have a flatter wedge, and if there is only one black batt, you could add a nifty or another black. Disregard that if it's 2 stacked batts but i can't tell.
-
ok thanks for the advice guys,and yeah its 2 stacked batts nary.
ok i give u the new and inproved savior wooo.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51574savior inside 2.jpg
i put a blade on the wedge for protection,and if you can't see i put a snow plow guarding the weapon motors which reeeaally help. thanks for the advice guys! anything else?
-
Maybe you should put the spikes on like Hunter-Killer-Tank does. Also put the blade at the end of the wedge.
-
ok iput it at the end and thanks for the advice on putting the irons on they do alot more damage
-
I like how you used a long single wedge. In the HW class, that's often a huge advantage.
The chassis could still be smaller, but even as is, I'd say Savior is about on par with Hunter-Killer Tank.
-
yea savior is kinda like hunter killer,but its waay better :D. and i was wondering,should i make it a 2 wheel drive,because the wedge isnt really good when its 4 wheel because it just scrapes the ground a tiny bit so it'll still be 4 wheel. or take away the 2 motors and put plows on the sides and back of savior to make it more protective and put a 3rd bat inside or what?
-
If you were going to make a 2WD VS, better to make an entirely new bot instead of trying to modify Savior. Savior is built for 4WD and it wouldn't work without it. Or at least not as well. Generally, VS's with small-diameter weapons need 4WD to rush in there and pick up bots, then keep them on top of the weapon. Especially against HS's.
Now, with a big weapon (like on Clockwork Hydra or Mome Rath) the weapon carries more KE and so you don't need to rely on drive as much to pick up the opponent.
Bottom line: leave Savior with 4WD.
-
ok thanks click
-
waheeeeeenew bot time! aalright i spent a couple hours on this, its a hammer bot. peoples i give to you!, blue bandit!
insie pic:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77290blue bandit inside.jpg
battle shot:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43148blue bandit battle shot.jpg
ok so i took the ideas of the plow from jaberwock i think it has them like that 2 in the front...anyways the first blue bandit had only the 2 plows in the front,and i noticed the bots would go over..so i put another pair on top and it works great! the blade protects the wedge. and a new thing i found out, when i made blue bandit i noticed with pop ups and bots like matrix array that used weapons as flippers that the extenderswould get torn off...soo i put bladeson the extenderslike the wedge..and man those help alot!!
it does good against pretty much all bots,and this might be the best bot i built so far!!
-
You spent a couple hours on that ???
Well, it looks decent but the blades on your hammers are too much of a sacrifice in your weapon power (more weight into your hammer weapon = slower=less damage). Just make something curved (see Sage's hammers) to pass over HS weapons.
I have a hammer in the works too...
-
how did u put the z-tek that way? o.o
i mean the z-tek is totally turned around, like the attach point is oposide but well obviously u did a trick or something there is not edit
-
.........How about hold shift and move mouse?
-
man i cant put the z-tek vertically like that, like in the fifth picture, i can attach it vertically but inverted.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55139tornado.jpg)
This thing? It is attached to an extender.
-
yes its on a baseplate connect to a extenderif that's what u were talkin about.
anyways one new bot.
i saw inf post about more bad replicas,and i decided to make a rpb replica but a middle wieght. peoples i give to you!semi-rabid pitbull!
heres the inside:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54481srpb pic.jpg
and heres the outside.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98332srpb pic 2.jpg
its beatin all the mw's i put it up against,so its kinda good. and the good thing is its invertible! that's why theresno wedge,and because i couldnt fit it in there.
-
too much free space!
-
well,what am i supposed to fill it with? i have 3 kgs left...
-
well,what am i supposed to fill it with? i have 3 kgs left...
That statement sums up what a noob is.
YOU HAVE THREE KGS LEFT BECAUSE YOU HAVE EMPTY SPACE!!!!
YOU NEVER FILL A CHASSIS, YOU MAKE A CHASSIS AROUND A BOT!!!
ahahasygsdfsahgfskdrgfsgrfldsgsiusriygslighldsguhsoilgnslgtu
i don't think we are getting through to these noobs guys. we need to do a noob starter guide. and attach it to the confirmation email when they try to register, so they actually read it.
-
that hurt sage...haha just kidding,buuut if i build it around the bot the motors in the back hardly fit as it is, the black battery fits by a pixel,aaaaand i cant think of a dif design. and yes i am a noob,thanks for pointing that out :D
-
sorry.
it's just a poorly designed chassis that makes it look like theres a lot of empty space.
i dont know how to explain it to you, but there is a much better way of doing the same thing... you'll just have to figure it out on your own.
-
meh..ok ill redo thanks anyway sage
-
i don't think we are getting through to these noobs guys. we need to do a noob starter guide. and attach it to the confirmation email when they try to register, so they actually read it.
It would just be like a privacy policy on other websites. Scroll down, click read, and don't read it.

maybe they have to take a quiz on it it to register.
-
That is a good idea.
-
Wiki.
-
Instead of Having those "Type this set of letters" thing, we could have a simple question like:
"The worst extenders are?"
So the answer would be: Square.
(I also promote it to be in full grammar to get rid of those illiterate newbs.)
-
well,what am i supposed to fill it with? i have 3 kgs left...
how about you mount the drive system and weapons on a snapper, or a servo disk
-
good idea duck,but it wouldnt be middleweight,it would be heavyweight.
and one new bot.
thee name: Quick stop(no not the gas station)
i got the idea of the name,because how it stops the bots with the front plows,while the ram plates weaken thereweapons,or wedges, and the plows on the side feeds the bot to the spinners. i would put 6 spinners on each tribat,but i think i reached the 7 rule thingy? anyways here is the inside
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84153quick stop battleshot.png)
and here is the front of it:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33406quick stop front.png)
haha it kinda looks like a butterfly because of the plows on the sides...anyways and comments and suggestions welcome,yes peoples even sarcasm,flames(well maybe not) but you get the idea.
and can somebody tell me how to do splashes? because those look cool and i wanna make one for my botm entry. (secret so shhh)
-
I like it.
-
You'd be better with less armor and more than 6 irons.
-
put the irons directly on the tribars, because the extenders make them 5 times weaker (200 HP vs 1000 HP)
as for splashes, it just takes practice and a good program. I got photoshop off youtube (people give it away for free) bu GIMP is aslo good, and thats legal.
what i do is take a bunch of battleshots, crop out everything but the two bots, put them all in a 700x800 background so they cover the whole thing, set their opacity at like 66% or so, make the background cool with different colors and textures. thats the background. then i take three different shots of the bot (or however many you want, but you dont want to cover up the battleshots in the background too much.) i crop out the bot's square, and then use the magic eraser tool in photoshop (gets rid of the color you click on.) i move those images to my splash, give them an outline with the blending options, and move them around to look good. then i have fun with the name. the names can be whatever you want, so i can't tell you how to do that.

add the weight also and maybe, if not obvious the armor it is using
