welcome to the world of GTM and showcasing :-D

first helpful hints are as follows

dont make axes like that it is a terrible waste of weight a DDT burst motor would be much better section

there was also no need for that 90 degree angle extender for the axe the red plastic could have been attached to the edge of the disc

the best wheels are shiny hubs try to use them as much as possible

plan your bots ahead and make a chassis to fit you bot, not the other way round, air tight chassis are the way to go

supervolts are the best battery's for heavyweights

once you got those things down then this link is your key to advancing your building

http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm

all the best with your future builds :-D

@Craig: Would you just shut up?

@LRA2: Both of your weapons won't be efficient because saws suck in Stock RA2, as well as spin motor powered hammers. You need to get DSL if you want to make both of these efficient.

Also and i'm saying that to nearly every newbie, check this: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm

Lol, well that's fair enough then :P. Still, show some more of yours and these guys will help you along as much as they can. Just be careful of the n00b whackers on this forum. There's a lot of them.

3 things.

- You have a link in my signature labeled "DSL uncorrupted version". And there you can download DSL.
- You have another link in my signature for DSL basic tips (that is the RA2 wiki).
-And finally, please have a look at the DSL showcases, there you will have examples of good bots (mostly) as well as hints and tips to good DSL building.

Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2009, 03:44:19 AM
I would recommend going in to infogames file in your program files and copy the entire RA2 file and rename it from copy of robot arena 2 to something like robot arena 2 dsl then apply it to that copy

if you add a large number of additions to the one ra2 it will run slow

that one is a lot more space efficient but there is a weight waste on those spikes, so drop them and either take out a pink or 2 and bring in down to a lightweight or add another weapon system and bring it up to a 390kg middleweight

remember always build to the limit

VERY underpowered, both steering drives and flipper segments suck. Get one more DDT and use 2 supervolts, then use 2 HP-Zteks for drive. And finally use the small wedge for the DDTs. :D

[Edit] Haha! Beat you guys to it. :P
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2009, 07:43:27 AM
chassis that shape can be used very differently don't bother with the car steering motor, use 2 Zteks for drive, supervolt, pink battery's arnt very good, shorten the red extender and use the small wedge block for a basic MW flipper robot :-D

Edit: damn Pwn your just to fast lol
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 28, 2009, 07:44:27 AM
Right, well, first things first, don't use that drive. Its too heavey, takes up too much space and isn't very good. Second, that bots underpowered with that single pink battery. Third, I don't think that weapon setup is very effective; it isn't powerful enough and it will break easily.

Do you know what a Popup is? You could turn this robot into one if you improved the setup.

EDIT: Looks like we're both just too slow, Joe...

Hmmm... you can actually add more weapons to the burst motors if you use the side attachment points of the extenders. :D
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 28, 2009, 09:09:58 AM
I'm surprised nobody told him to use DSA. (it's on the beetlebros techniques site if you want to know what it is)

Also axes don't work well on popups, use double razors or maybe irons.
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on May 28, 2009, 09:16:18 AM
DSA *slaps face*

just in case you missed it buddy its basically the strength of steel at the low weight of aluminum to get it just don't click the armor button and it will automatically be on your bot
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Gigafrost on May 28, 2009, 11:19:08 AM
Hmm... Looking at your showcase LRA2, May I also suggest that if you also give my RA2GE AI pack (http://gigafrost.webs.com) a go for a more challenging set of opponents (You can do waayyy better than stock and the other packs will just be overkill ATM)?, this can increase your botting skill to a surprising level and can even get you ready for more harder packs like starcore and DSL. Of course while still taking advice from the other members.
more info on how to download this pack can be found on this page (http://gigafrost.webs.com/downloadinginformation.htm).
Oh, and welcome to the forums!

good first popup
try going to the beetlebros page to learn how to make it better.
also show inside shots of the robots
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 28, 2009, 03:50:59 PM
Well razors are better than axe heads for popups, but you can get alot more on one arm by using the side attachment points of round extenders.

Use them by clicking on the green things that are on the component when its in the preview window before its attached.
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: cephalopod on May 28, 2009, 04:00:06 PM
To put what they're saying in context, here's your bog-standard round extender
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69131RE.jpg)
But look how one box is greener (circled in orange below). That's the connection point that you'd connect to the bot with (you can change this by clicking on of the other one)
But this leaves all 3 of those open connection points which you can add stuff to - see the yellow circled points below. What they mean is putting a razor on BOTH of those points, creating more damage!

Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: 40757 on May 28, 2009, 04:24:29 PM
Well, he should keep that bot if he wants a MW. A newer bot yes, but instead of attaching the razors to one extender, attach multiple extenders on the side of the original extender to make them side by side. Attaching it that way will be better as it does damage all at once.

Looks alright, but, I think the tribar is upside down and I hear sledgehammers suck in stock RA2.
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 29, 2009, 07:13:09 AM
You don't have to show us how you used the extenders unless the setup is totally complicated. And it's better to show us the insides so we can give some more extensive advice. :P

And Craaig's right. Sledges suck at stock. Also, when you build heavyweights, wedges give you a lot of advantages.

For a beginner, try to replicate some bots showcased in this forum. After some attempts you'll eventually develop your own style. :D

QFT

_____

@LRA2:
-Yes sledges suck in stock, excepted maybe for throwing opponents OOTA on VS (Mjorhmei or whatever it is called), but not worthy in general.
-DSA armor is better for your bots (In Stock ONLY).
-For saving weight make a tight chassis, that fits your components. That works also in IRL bot building.
-One iron spike is not enough for a hammer
-No need to build a weapon at the front and another at the back. Keep all your weapons installed at the front, excepted for sit and spinners but this is NOT a sit and spinner. And horizontal spinners don't work with hammers.
-Also please work more on your paintjobs and your robot names...
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: 40757 on May 29, 2009, 01:38:30 PM
A more simple tip is to build to the weight limit. Choose what weight class you want, and build to the maximum amount you can. Try to stay 244-249 for LWs, 389-399 for MWs, and about 785-799 HWs

1) Build to weight limit
2) I'm not sure what motor youre using on the disc, but it should be a hpz.
3) What the heck is going on with the casters in the middle of the bot?
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 29, 2009, 03:28:07 PM
Im pretty sure that DISK-O-INFERNO is a name of a bot that competed in RW in real life. You should work on more origonal names really.

You could also make your chassis smaller, then it can be invertable. Plus, its overpowered. One black batt can power four HPZ's.

Jebus christ.

Guys, Stop it. If he's not good at building let him improve in his own time. Pestering people only alienates them. I'm a pretty good example of that, and so is venko.

He'll get there, or pretty close eventually.

LRA2, try a LW first...

EDIT: Whoops.

Hmm, better than most of my flippers... Go for Rad's then try to replace the pinks with a black.

Also, try some rubbers.
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Weirdo on May 30, 2009, 06:58:01 AM
Ok. Empty space wise, its actually a lot better, but I'm wondering if you built the chassis first and just got lucky fitting the components. What you should do is build a chassis for your robot that you think is big or small enough, put the components in it, then look at it and notice any empty space you've got. Then think; 'Well how could I get rid of this?' Move and replace the components so they're nicley compact, most emty space should be on the outside. Then redo the chassis so that its big enough to fit your components, but doesn't have the empty space. Hope this makes sence.

Also: don't use redbirds. They're too big. Use angle motors; they're just as powerful and take up much less space accordingly. If you use them, you should be able to fit in a black batt, or at least a nifty. You should be able to fit two DDT burst motors in there. Two is always better than one. Shiney hubs are also better than slippers. Finally, did you use DSA?

And did you actually replicate/clone a bot built by CB, or just name your bot after him?

This is alot better for the chassis space. use Shiny hub wheels though to get the most out of the weight so you can add more weaponry. Also, build to the weight limit. Try to keep your weight 239-249, 389-399, or 784-799 everytime. Try it on your next bot.

Chassis need to be smaller, you should be useing shiny hub wheels and you haven't built to the weight limit. And I'm sure you've been told all this before?

I know it might seem like people are being hard on you, but its only because you don't seem to be listening to their advice. If you don't know exactly what someone means by something, try looking it up on the forums or the RA2 Wiki before asking. Also, look around at other peoples showcases for ideas and info, look at what people tell them and learn from them.

Quote from: life robot arena2;42355

It was actually meant more as a joke, because im not the biggest fan of empty space(who is?)

As more serious help to making that bot better:

You would be better off with only 2 Pistons and a lot of extenders going to the sides, see my Spearhead:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14767Spearhead2.jpg)

Also does your bot have DSA armor? If not, you should know that its as light as Alunium but stronger than Steel. To get it, do not touch the armor tab when done building the chassis.

In the second state of building the chassis, you should see a slider, move it all the way down and then up 5 pixels. This is the Ideal height for robots because you can fit HP Z-Teks in it and the bot can be invertible with Shinyhub Wheels.


If you want, I can give you permission to try and clone this bot as well as you can.

Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Weirdo on June 04, 2009, 12:49:53 PM
You see a button on the top right of your keyboard which says 'pause' and then 'break' underneath? You press that and it pauses everything. Press it again and everything unpauses but this time you should be able to attach the spikes, if you couldn't before.

I've never actually used it before but I think thats the idea.
Title: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on June 04, 2009, 03:01:26 PM
Weidro, not quite.
On my Spearhead I did it so that I attached the first extenders directly, then I fired the pistons and paused when they were at their longest, then hovered the next extender in the place, unpased and then attached. Then just repeated that as many times as needed.

-Shiny Hubs PLEASE
-Use HP Z-Teks. Theyre much better than regular Z teks.
-What are the exenders coming out the back of the bot for? Invertability?
-Im sure you could lower the chassis and put some of the components in front of where the battery sits...

Well, you wasted weight on a DDT when you're just bursting one motor. Using a Snapper II instead (or a Snapper2 if it wobbles too much). And, your wedges aren't symmetrical. Turn the left snapper around. Also, HSes will rip that tribar off in first contact, so a dual angle FS might be better for that. And try to upgrade the drive since the wedges won't do anything with motors that weak.

It's wobbly, so just attach the HPZ to a 45-degree anchor. Then just rebuild the chassis and use Z-Teks for drive.
Title: Re: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Avalanche on January 31, 2010, 05:50:44 AM
Its not very wobbly,Its the fact that it does a barrel roll as soon as the weapon starts.XD
Title: Re: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: Pwnator on January 31, 2010, 05:57:54 AM
The weapon's too far from the chassis so the wedges need to be even longer to stabilize the whole thing. But that will make the bot too brittle. Use a disc instead of a tribar for a stabler stance and more attachment points. :D
Title: Re: life robot arena2's showcase
Post by: russian roulette on January 31, 2010, 06:00:27 AM
LISTEN (that is what got you banned the first time) the chassis and set up you are using is really only good for a FS or a decently built VS, also the hidden attachment point on the blue snapper could upgrade your drive to Redbirds or even ZTecs.

You could at least be helpful.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on February 22, 2010, 01:50:33 PM
Admittedly, it does look a bit like a poor clone of Tornado. But that's probably just me.

I reckon you could potentially get twice the amount of spikes on there if you used the other connection points on bars instead of those T-Connectors. If possible, try to avoid using T-connectors outside your robot. They're about as durable as a Chocolate Teapot.

As far as i can see, it is most likely better than Tornado.

Anyways, why is this chassis so huge ? You can downgrade to 1 black battery as well (or even 1 Nfty but you'll run low on power soon) and the weapon setup isn't the best with these extenders.

Does it have DSA as well ?

That would be inconsistent. Don't use an HS. Actually, no bot can create the same damage consistently. Your best bet would be a hammer with a single razor.

If you know enough about bot files you WILL see that DSA is stronger than steel (2 times stronger than standard aluminium = stronger than steel)
Title: Re: Avalanche's showcase
Post by: kill343gs on February 23, 2010, 01:28:58 PM
What likely happened is you applied steel, tested it, then applied aluminum. This means that DSA is not possible at that point. In order to get DSA, ignore the armor tab completely.

Okay then. First of all, I know you don't want to, but just try to make the chassis smaller. If you still don't want to do that, then place the extenders in a L shape, attaching the razors to the left side of the L. You'll have to lose 2 razors, but that's life.

Post by: NFX on April 13, 2011, 12:53:36 PM
I'm afraid you are going to have to change the chassis to get it close to the MW weight limit. The front end can be shortened, and the wedge will be steeper, and you can lose a few kgs from the Snapper2 extender holding the wedge on. The razors can also be attached perpendicularly using the side AP to attach it to the DDT, and that'll give you a faster swing, and they'll hit the opponent at the same time, causing more damage.

Or shrink your chasis a bit. You could drop two razors. You should be underweight then.

Mr Punch, eh? That's also the name of my old BBEANS6 entry.
 
Anyway, I could recommend attaching ramplates along the front wedge using angle connectors (to create a protective ramming shield/wedge), using two Snapper Wedges, and making the bars with the weapons stretch sideways, as opposed to upwards- it provides a bigger and wider area of attack, allowing you to 1-hit KO and/or flip your opponents more easily.
 
That, and I'm probably going to get killed for this, you can stack another black battery, and you could trim the chassis down slightly, particularly around the wheel area, in order to provide more protection to the wheels.

Well, it was a bit of an exaggeration. It's not AS bad as his first robot, but it's still crap. (to put it bluntly)
I think that LRA2 just doesn't try anymore.

It's not a FoF-style clamp. FoF clamps do have their hammer burst on the flipper arm. Plus this is mostly worthless, as it has no weaponry.

If you did not noticed, you posted an URL of your bot so we had to CLICK to see your average bot. I changed the tag to an IMG to actually HELP and make the reading of your bot easier, did not disturbed your post in any way and then you COMPLAIN ?

Post by: NFX on May 08, 2011, 08:59:45 AM
If you're making a clamp here, then you'll want your "Weapon" DDT's to start in the downward position. Once you approach the opponent, then you fire them, and they retract again to hold the opponent. You'll definitely need a bigger clamping area, though, I can't imagine it'll actually hold onto very much.
Title: Re: Life Robot Arena 2's Generally Awful Designs
Post by: Scorpion on May 08, 2011, 09:12:43 AM
What NFX said, and weaponry, it needs some.
Although, i'd say, that a FoF style clamp in stock is a flawed idea, as you're not really gonna have enough flipping power, unless you were to make the flipper rupt perhaps.

Maybe you should put razors on extenders instead of the bracket wedges, but then it wouldn't be a clamp.
