Well, you've certainly headed in the right direction. First of all, purple batteries are almost always a no-no on anything LW and above. Additionally, granny wheels shouldn't be necessary to make that bot invertible. The collision mesh of all wheels is actually bigger than what you see. Shiny hub wheels should do the trick, and they are the lightest wheel available.

Those wedges on Nomer are a bit pointless if the spikes come out further than they do. Oh, and never use Spike Strips.

Post by: Fracture on June 08, 2012, 06:13:53 AM
Two blacks is the most you should be using to power this. Also if you put more than one wedge on a snapper, they're not going to be very good, so either go for s single wedge or tweak the chassis to add another wedge motor in there for a double wedge. Finally, the T-Connector for the ramming rack should definitely be able to be attached directly to the anchor, rather than needing a 20cm pushing it out.

Not bad for a newcomer. :D
Looks like you know what drive to use. As Kill said, use shinies and grannies if the bot isn't invertible with shinies. Rubbers are good, too.
The best weapons are razors, irons and maces. You'll almost always want to use these.
Pink batteries are almost useless on anything over a lightweight. You'll want to use blacks to power your heavyweights (1 black can power 4 HP Z-teks).
Keep it up and stick around! :D

Thanks for all the comments, improvements have been made: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68368nomer2.png)
797.4 Kg. Much better but no longer invertible (had to rotate snowplows to get it to run right-side up).
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on June 08, 2012, 10:26:17 PM
you might want to lighten up the extender work holding the plows and reduce empty space (turn off the snap to grid feature)

also blood made me want to stab my eyes out with a razor tip
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: kill343gs on June 09, 2012, 02:35:51 AM
Soo much better, now look into stacking those black batteries and reducing the chassis height to free up some weight for weapons and re-establish invertibility.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Gazea2 on June 09, 2012, 03:33:00 AM
An HP-Ztek only needs the chassis to be 5 "notches" up. If you move the height slider slowly and carefully you can move up one notch at a time. :)

Post by: Wacky Bob on June 15, 2012, 08:02:19 PM
Besides the fact that it's underweight, it's pretty good. Get rid of the side razors and use 2 DDTs instead of one. How are the wedges?
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on June 15, 2012, 08:05:39 PM
more like a hammer with a short reach

popups actually need bots to go up the wedge and have razors come out from a concealed location (as in inside the chassis)
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on June 15, 2012, 08:47:02 PM
drop down to 4-6 razors and add more armor. I would stick with one ddt and see if you could get another black in there.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Lightning S. on June 15, 2012, 09:54:49 PM
Update:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48483popup3.png)
Does a much better job of getting itself underneath opponents vs just getting its wedges under.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Fracture on June 15, 2012, 09:59:44 PM
The DDT is a bit far back. You could mount the ramplates on individual baseplate anchors to the sides and bring it forward, or just mount the plates on the wedge extenders.

Otherwise it looks cool. You have a chip of extra weight so just lengthen the wedges by 20cm.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on June 15, 2012, 10:02:47 PM
no dont use a t connector use round extenders like this -
   ___
  |     |
ddt

will use less weight and (theoretically) does more damage, AND you might get enough weight for another razor

and yea just use 2 ba's and attach the ramplates directly to them
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on June 16, 2012, 10:49:27 AM
those middle extenders look kind of exposed, could you do something about that?
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: J on June 16, 2012, 01:21:59 PM
You know, if you mounted the ramplates on the side arms, you could actually add more Razors since it would free up some weight for you to mess around with.

Updated:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80867popup4.png)
Had to scoot the snapper2s back to get the ramplates in. Wedges now on 80cm extenders. 7 razors.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on June 16, 2012, 01:58:07 PM
those 2 razors out all the way to the side arent doing much, just group them with the rest of them
like this
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/53520exa.png)
^uses the effe glitch^
but you can do the same thing on the other end of the top extender if you have enough weight
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on July 21, 2012, 12:45:24 AM
If you could pull off the stacks for the lower chassis, that would be great.

Post by: Mr. AS on August 26, 2012, 08:25:08 PM
JUDGEMENT TIME

1- telling from the pic you posted previously there doesnt seem to be too much empty space, you could either put on more razors

or add protection to your wedges on the extenders, also segment these extenders, two 20 cm extenders are longer than 1 40cm extender, and provides more aps, ramplates could be moved out further to the side to protect against hs because the side is where they hit most, or alternatively you could add another ramplate; you have just enough weight for it
2- space managment could be done better, if you shrink the chassis and move the components around a bit (maybe all the components in one line so itll be nice and wide against hs ?) you could put in a green snapper for wedge instead of that blue one, or an extra razor, or armor possibly, but that may be pushing it
3- pretty good bot, not really much to say about this since its a basic popup, crimson's weapon setup for this, wedge looks a bit steep aswell but this may just be a optical illusion, generally a little more than a 45 degree wedge suffices
in general- effe your razors so they are facing the same way, this will ensure that all the razors hit at the same time and does maximum damage, 6/10 would post again
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Lightning S. on August 28, 2012, 10:28:55 PM
1- (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91769VS2.png)
Had to scoot the outer ramplates out so I could fit the middle one in, also all razors are facing the same way now.
2- Shrunk the chassis size and put the wedge on a green snapper, but it ended up failing so I scrapped it.
3- (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86715poopup2.png)
Slightly different weapon setup, but all razors are facing the same way.

I had a creative idea, but the rule of seven killed it.
Then that spawned another creative idea, but the rule of seven killed that also.
Then THAT idea spawned this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10881macer1.png)
One black, four HPZs, eight maces, DSA, one wedge on a green snapper.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 31, 2012, 12:14:23 AM
It looks like one of my old Deathwatch bots.
 
Right away I can tell you to rotate the weapon motors so the maces are on the outside.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Jamin on August 31, 2012, 12:29:54 AM
Although it might not be the most efficient weapon setup you could do, I do quite like it. Like click said you could rotate the HPZs out so that the maces are on the outside, Or you might be able to swap them with Irons and attach irons to the inner points on the disks and create a drum like robot.

Post by: Mr. AS on October 10, 2012, 08:39:17 PM
yeah the LW is basically Mini MaceD (its in inf ai on the cuantum fisix team or w/e its called) with a static razor instead of a mace on the snapperII.

the BW looks a bit more original, but it needs to be FBS*, razors are perfectly fine for a sns though expecially at this level

*Fast, Big, Stabile. youve got the fast and the stable (assumably) part down pat, arms and wheel base are just a bit too small though

you dont have to use every extender. they are all 100hp so it doesnt matter whether you use red or black ones, just what color you prefer for this.

its a nice bot, only problem with it now is that you make it like pillar of fire (aka not invertible), if you set it up like whirlpool from sc v4 it should be fine.

Your team seems pretty solid with the weakest being bear hug 2 and the rest are all solid bots that shouldn't lose much. The strongest member of your team is probably the Dizzy Beetle 7.

I like all the AWs and BWs.
Lol, I know how buggy the pistons can be.
Finally a clear view of your BotM, not bad, but the spike strips that protect the wedges will make You troubles if You want to go under something. But the 090909010101's bot also can't lift up the opponents close enough to the weapons, so I still don't know who will win in a #1 vs #3 battle.

but spike spam's chassis could be a little bit lighter if you moved the rads forward, maybe you could upgrade those icepicks to irons. 1 black should be just enough for 2 snappers and 2wd, but i assume youre aware of that?

(papa?) roach looks nice and overvoltage strike looks great.
Title: Re: Lightning S.'s Stock Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 24, 2013, 11:47:38 PM
I was supposed to say that you're wasting chassis weight on the rammer, then I realized you couldn't add anything else if you optimized it, so that's fine.

I'm liking the popup VERY much. Mostly because that's exactly what I had planned for my popup way back then but I tried too hard to put a spike strip on it and just gave up. lol


[Edit] Now that AS said it, try optimizing the chassis and see if you can upgrade the picks to maces.

Spike Spam = Remove some irons and upgrade the drive to HPs.
Bear Hug 4 = Replace the irons with a razors, and add "moar" protection.
Roach = Ditch the swords and the airtanks, use the weight for a blades on the wedges for example.
Voltage Strike = The wedges probably sux, but it's a OK bot.
Overvoltage Strike = Exchange the caster and the static razor for a more razors on the weapon.
The failed experiment = Even if you achieve the spin speed of the large hadron collider, this bot will still sux hard due to a lack of weapons and any protection.

Post by: Pwnator on June 13, 2013, 05:33:20 AM
For the side hammer, try moving the frontmost anchor off-center (requires a rebuild, sorry) so you could use 2 20cms rather than 2 20cms and a T connector. That setup would also mean that you can use the opposite AP of the Snapper2s, saving you more than 12kgs total. You could probably end up with 3 razors per arm with the freed weight.

If you stack the CB into that black, you can lower the chassis, gain another 2 kilos, and extend both "arms" with a 20 cm for a wider reach. This is the last upgrade, that I can think of.

That 36HS and BW look good, and the "strip-rack True Popup" looks vaguely like Matrix Array with the setup and all. Though what I might suggest for the SHW is possibly changing the setup a bit so it "juggles" enemies more by possibly angling the motors ala Rabid Pitbull.

In general, anything that requires stabilizers and would be brittle without them shouldn't be bursted. This is pretty much the only way to make a bot good in sub-MW classes.

Spiderweb also looks pretty cool, although it can afford to go down to 2WD. You could beef up the defenses with the freed weight.

Oh yeah.  If you're using something like Paint.net, turn auto-detect off if you want to save textures for RA2.  It does that and it's weird.

I'd keep the textures for the Compressor Ironbot Edition.  It help distinguish the two.

The bots are pretty cool, but do either of them suffer from AGOD at all?

Title: Re: Lightning's Robots
Post by: Pwnator on July 26, 2017, 07:38:45 PM
HW could ditch the DDTs for Snapper2s if they're only throwing out an iron each.

As for the MW, I don't think the sample size is enough to tell how good is "decent", but there should be a couple of decent ones in other showcases. My experience with your kind of design was that it couldn't turn fast enough and it would glitch on heavy contact. I think Geice has built one that (probably) works though, so I recommend cloning his design.
Title: Re: Lightning's Robots
Post by: 090901 on July 26, 2017, 08:08:05 PM
flip the plows on your hammer, they wont trap anything that way and will just have bots ride up into the hammer arm. i also think that a 90 degree arm made with 2 extenders works better than curved hammers.
Title: Re: Lightning's Robots
Post by: Mr. AS on July 26, 2017, 08:35:56 PM
I can tell you from experience that hammers tend to be better with static setups. Maybe having a plow above your ground-level plows would be a good idea to trap bots like 09 said as well.

Title: Re: Lightning's Robots
Post by: Fracture on September 19, 2017, 07:54:22 AM
Popup looks good, 4 razors really make it a full-offense LW. You may want to try losing one of them for an "R4 ear" to help the AI hit the opponent's chassis when it fires.

Is the SnS invertible? If not, you should lighten up the extender work; even if it doesn't give you weight for anything else, less extenders means less places to knock off the entire setup.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59585screenshot_17.png)

Don't know the specs on the popup, but you could definitely clean up the extenders holding the drive if you snapper load. And it seems like you're doing the same thing as with the LW by adding more burst motors instead of more razors; DDTs can hold 3-4 and Snapper2s can hold 2-3 (unless you want the flipping power).

See if adding another anchor or two to the HS can get you a better setup. Again, even if it doesn't save weight it's better defensively to have less extenders for the opponent to hit.

-redid the lw hs. dsa, everything else visible. took a while to get the ba/nifty stack just right, but was worth the wait

DDTs can hold 3-4 and Snapper2s can hold 2-3 (unless you want the flipping power)
-yeah, the hw popup is going for flipping power. also, since there are only 2 razors per ddt, each one fires really fast and since there are 4 ddts, there's no need to worry about a lack of damage. a good run-up usually results in a 1hko. because axle glitch of doom, i'm just sticking with the static setup.

12 irons (4 on each end), idk if that's overkill or not. absolutely no regard for rule of 7. only takes 21 seconds (read: an eternity and a half) to spin up to speed, so the only arena it's really viable in is the black hole space station unless i can find an ai that just runs away the whole match

Side hammer could use the 140cms for wedges but unless you also stack the blacks, there's really not much room for improvement.

Title: Re: Lightning's Robots
Post by: Pwnator on October 11, 2017, 02:18:38 AM
The setup for the hammer hybrid is quite heavy. You could make the RADs and plows static if you could just make the chassis a bit larger. Then you should have enough to make the hammer curved.

You should also space out the wedges of the side hammer hybrid a bit more. Not sure if maces are the right thing, but it looks cool.

Regardless, those are some solid ideas you got there.

i dig the fs/hs

might be better if you angled the plows out a little so it could trap better

the mw fs and rammer are hella cool

I still think the setup of the hammer hybrid is inefficient, but the curved hammer is pretty much the only improvement it needs so good job.

And that FS hybrid is sick. Getting those Tempest Exterminator vibes.

Yeah, the original One Billion Hours had that weapon and wheel setup. Basically impossible to drive without the chassis flipping out. One Billion And One Hours is a lot more stable.

this one was just called "idk what to do with this". pretty sure i don't have the weight to do anything with it
figured out what to do with it: make a CW

pretty bouncy, but otherwise works really well. will probably replace brain scrubber
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
are MW wedged HSs a thing?
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
rebuild of alien king. uses a few of those heavy 140cm extenders. 40 irons
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
tried a 3wd SnS. first one is mounted on a servo and spins insanely fast, but havok bombs outside of the test garage. used ra2cf on the 2nd one to put a tribar on a BA for a static setup so it doesn't havok, but it's kinda slow, especially compared to the other one
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
tried making some sort om MW juggler/de-wheeler. originally meant to have 4 RADs, but i only had 50kg left after the first two so i just put some static irons on. not very good overall
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
3 different drive systems on the same HS. the one with HPZ drive uses a different extender setup so i could get the weight. all are invertable

They all look really good. Though, I don't really understand why you need a wedge for your first MW HS? Personally, I think the wedge could be there for getting robots onto the wedge, so the robot becomes trapped for the HS to damage the opponent without having to be damaged by wedge dependent weapon systems. Otherwise most of the bots are pretty good.

updated the juggler
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
now it does pretty well against anything that's not a hs

the hs was a complete havok bomb, so i just ended up making the drive static and it's good now. both are invertable still. preference?

 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
i'm trying to figure out how to make a good hw hammer. evidently this is not how you do it

 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
hw true popup. 10 razors, 2 batts, 4 hpz, 27 casters. wedges and armor both work really well. idk how i managed to get that spike strip on there, but i'm happy about it

Why not go all maces on the Z-Tek version? Just rotate the drive motors if it's not invertible.

Hammer is still very messy. This is a scenario where it's worth to make the chassis larger just to properly accommodate more anchors or even an additional Snapper II.

Heroic Sacrifice clone looks very clean. That's a pretty dense caster rack as well. Not sure if there's room for improvement if you try to lose a caster per row.

made the chassis bigger, but probably not the way i was supposed to
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
9 razors, 2 batts. not as optimized as the other one, but performs way better

other bots
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
final version of that mw hs i kept remaking. still invertable. had a teeny bit of weight leftover so i put a 20cm extender on the front as a little bit of extra armor
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
tried to remake 6 armed fighter using the pause/break technique, but i ran out of patience. battery is placed using ra2cf, everything else is legit.
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
new version of bear trap. used the caster popup's chassis to make more of an "anti-popup" or "reverse popup" (popdown?)
anyway, 12 razors & 27 casters. needs 4 wedges because if it looses all of them then it's game over, so the more the better. i could just use shinies, but screw it. it's a shw and i'm getting sick of putting shinies on everything anyway. takes out HWs just fine

MaceFace 2. first one was literally just hypnotism with maces
despite the compact chassis, it has really good (albeit inconsistent) wedges

expect something big coming soon
