Because duck actually has a showcase, he is far superior to you. Even if the bots aren't amazing.

What? A triple hybrid ? (rammer/vertical hammer/side hammer)

It looks great, but needs wedges.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: DuckRA2 on December 21, 2008, 03:31:23 PM
Rammer-yes with 2 pistons
hammer- yes 2 hammers
side hammer- no those arent attached to a burst motor, just a extender

heres another recent bot(I built today)
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6726screenshot_35.bmp
this ones pretty good but not so good, bad against wedges

and this one I built yesterday, took a while.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20689screenshot_36.bmp


btw, are we aloud to post the bmp in showcases?
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Sage on December 21, 2008, 03:47:26 PM
i like em both. definitely put wedges on the first one. the side hammers wont do much, so use wedges instead.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: DuckRA2 on December 21, 2008, 03:49:09 PM
maybe some wheel protecters also, i'll try
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Scrap Daddy on December 21, 2008, 04:04:08 PM
Make em jpgs so they dont take so long to load

I like that piston bot. Maybe you should put a ramplate on each wedge. Or maybe castors. You should have the weight if you change the grannys for shinys

Take out one of the air tanks and make it all HP Z-teks.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 21, 2008, 08:28:13 PM
The first one was better I think.  You need some sort of V-shape to hold HS's and hammer their tops, and the side not-hammers on the first version look like they would work beautifully.  The side plows on the second version won't do a bit of good when the extenders holding them on are exposed right in the front.

The wedges and hammer extender guards are an improvement, but the wedges need to be a bit longer to be effective.  Try using a less convoluted way of attaching them.

And you can use shiny hub wheels instead of rubber wheels to get weight for that stuff.  A bot like that doesn't need zero ground clearance, and I showed in the Mythbusters thread that rubber wheels only give you a very minimal advantage over shiny hubs.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Sage on December 21, 2008, 09:47:07 PM
I like rubber wheels cause they look sleeker. And they are grippier. Bots with rubber wheels don't slide as much as shinies. That's another thing you could do in your RA2 mythbuster thing Click. Which wheels have the best grip.

You guys are just ruining poor Duck's showcase.

Can someone make a PENIS THREAD in the chatterbox and move all that sh** there?

I don't know about you, but when i showcase a bot, I like to actually show it. Like in a trophy showcase, you don't put a picture of the game up, you put the trophy.
Title: looking back my old bots

Can we some some other views?
Title: looking back my old bots

Sage: Ill do that soon

Somebody:Ill do that with the trophy picture or whatever

Manu Manu: has this ever happened in your life?

Hey look at this! I did it in like 5- 10 min! I cant believe it, I was  never a good stacker, especially for black batteries!https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33206screenshot_47.bmp

Has what happened to me? You mean have I ever beaten neglected waterbug? Then the answer is yes.

Hmmm, here is something fishy or my name is Huan-pablo-garsia-esteban-rivvera... And its NOT!...

Im telling this stacking is kinda... FISHY, CHEATY...
5-10 mins...(hehehe) come on... If its so easy evryone will do it...
5-10 mins... That fast... are you sure?

And im the person who can make this stackings with blacks :
1  [ATTACH]262[/ATTACH]
2  i even have a bot with the anchor and extender all inside the black but you all will see this bot in GP:LU as a unlockable...
3  [ http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/6197/8ballni6.gif ] here the crossed batts are 3.
4  4 blacks in one in some bots.
5  And some other stackings that i was accusationed of cheating...

And it was a hard and slow process. And now you for 5-10 mins all this... hmm...

Post by: DuckRA2 on December 30, 2008, 10:34:44 PM
can you stack nifties? I did that, and so far in my RA2 life I haven't seen someone do that besides me. and those black bats were stacked pretty fast, maybe it wasn't 10min, time does fly, but that is what I think it felt like. And that thing you did looks pretty sweet, never seen it before

duck, believe me. If you can stack nifties, you can bet your life someone else has too.

Plus theres really no reason to stack them..

lol that would be funny if after I read that post I got killed by an airstrike. I guess some one has then... here a splashy thingy of that bot I made https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42763splash.bmp

Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Sage on December 30, 2008, 11:01:40 PM
now just keep doing that. as for the bot, it's messy. woohoo, you beat Neglected Waterbug. Lets see you beat a Rammer, HS, whatever. The chassis is original... but thats about the only cool part.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: DuckRA2 on December 30, 2008, 11:23:21 PM
venko, I did that in a nifty instead of a black battery, theres also the stacked nifty in the pic
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33938screenshot_53.JPG
EDIT: I did it with a black battery like you did, Ill post the pic soon
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on December 31, 2008, 01:11:30 AM
What's the purpose of those big "arms" on the chassis? They're easy prey for a HS or Rammer or whatever. Now, for the batteries, do it in a small chassis.
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: DuckRA2 on December 31, 2008, 12:43:06 PM
I did do a light weight with a controlboard and an axlemount inside a nifty, saved allot of weight. I also stacked 2 black bats for a HS Heavyweight
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Venko on January 01, 2009, 12:35:41 PM
I can stack up to 4 niftys in one... You better take a look on my showcase...

Anyway, about the last stacking of yours...
the many blacks and niftys in one on different angles = OK
the anchor in the top of the black = OK
i cant see is there anything stacked in the zTek = ??? for now
the two anchors in the nifty = OK (you can see in my showcase the flame war started by some insane stacking in one of mine bots... It was in a chassis exatly to fit a nifty and he have a nifty and a MB and an anchor (can add anything to him) in one...)
i know that an anchor can go thru a MB but show this stacking from a different angle cos i dont see well the angled motor = ??? for now

Im waiting for the new pics with stacking from you...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38345flea.JPG)
it actually does a 180 swing, done in the BOT file, same with the weight
Title: looking back my old bots

Don't use square extenders, they are the exact same as normal ones. (Except shaped like a square and heavier)
Title: looking back my old bots
Post by: Naryar on January 04, 2009, 08:24:47 AM
Nifty and shinies would be good also.
