Larrain's showcase in Stock.

[Larrain]

ok its working now :D

And Sparkey, i dont like hammers xD

Is it an Overweight HW or Underweight SHW?

None, a problem with a file my sis changed, it was supposed to be a HW, tho i dont care about weight classes

[Sparkey98]

don't tell sage you hate them

[Sage]

Hammer's are very difficult to build effectively and even then are only effective against a select few bot types. I can see why a new guy to the forum would not enjoy building them.

[Sparkey98]

I don't see how this "new guy" builds bots like theese
 
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING???

[Larrain]

[...] im new here but i played ra2 like a noob for 2 years before finding this site out [...]

I'm only new to the forum, Sparkey

EDIT:

Make AWs or BWs             ^_^ ok

[Sparkey98]

oh yea, lolol

[Larrain]

I tried to draw something but i came up with another robot

EDIT: The pic is too big so i turned it into an URL

[S.T.C.]

I like the drawing but the RA2 version of the weapon motor you drew is not good for weapons for MW or HW bots

btw this is a drum

[Virus Bomb]

Yeah that's just a VS. Drums usually have wide weapons taking up most of the front. Examples would be DrumbleBee (Posted above) and Scrap's Incinerator.

[Larrain]

Ok thanks ^^ btw the bot failed, the shiny wheels i drew didnt help at all, the weapon was slow (sorry S.T.C. I didnt read it before trying) and cuz of that i didnt want it to be a HW, also the maneuvering was worse than a walker and it was impossible to keep it as a MW. XD

And also Drumblebee looks great

[S.T.C.]

yup,Drumblebee is awsome,made by Clickbeetle btw,I'm more of a DSL guy lol

btw you're from Chile eh? awsome

I don't like DSL much, i think i downloaded it just to play around with the real life robots XD

btw you're from Chile eh? awsome 

Yes Thank you

I recently did a social studies project on Chile lol

lol nice

Back on topic..
I fixed Tsunami's weird overweight and it now weighs 798.9 kg
It now misses 8 maces and a supervolt for making it legal


Here you can see an empty slot on the tribars's arms, there were 3 maces on each arm before the update (4 arms were left unchanged)


And I rotated the servos for showing the inner parts in this pic, there were 2 supervolts before the update

[090901]

try putting everything on two servos or, even better, two blue snappers. Also, are you using DSA?

I think i'll leave the bot like that for now. And yes, I skipped the armor tab

[Jack Daniels]

I think you can shrink that chassis some.

Think of the chassis as the heart of your robot.  Any damage it takes will bring it closer to death. Exposing your motors and wheels outside the chassis is not sin. If you lose a motor or wheel... your bot will be crippled but as long as the chassis remains undamaged you have a better shot. (there are exceptions of course)  I think your bot would fare better in battle if the chassis was smaller.

Think of the black knight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail".  You can lob off an arm... a leg... another arm... but the torso (chassis) keeps the bot fighting.  Don't worry about protecting components with the chassis.  Do the opposite, protect the chassis with the components.

Welcome to the forums. You seem nice and cool. Stick around.

If you want to be a better builder it always helps to follow our advice. Trying a more difficult setup with less servos/bursts is a quick way to get better.

I think ive read it somewhere.. what's BFE?

Wow thats a very good way to explain it.. o_O I should show this to my sister lol.. ever since i teach her how to build robots here she's made some robots that look good but perform badly.. I'm not sure if the bots are bad or its her who doesnt control them right.

Yes im thinking of a redesign for Tsunami, with a smaller chassis, maybe two blue snappers, i think it should hide the chassis better than the current one, if a tribar was broken the robot was gone. That shouldnt happen anymore I guess.. (EDIT: Word fixed)

And thanks for the welcome yes I will log in and post, help, etc as much as i can ^^ I like communities like this

"I will, Master" xD
Not sure where did i hear it tho, too many movies..
I usually follow the experienced and skilled people's advices, as well as ask them for help and stuff like that, once i become one of them (of you), I try and help.. hopefully I will one day. I love helping other people

[JoeBlo]

Sage is partially right :P

don't go dismantling this robot if your happy with it. leave it and start from scratch with a new one
