Hi S.T.C. i know those batteries are not good my favorite batteries are super volts but i couldn't fit one in there.Then rebuild the bot.
I'll let other people here tell you about DSA armour, which weapons to use, how to adequately power your bot, etc. Just don't let it bother you if anyone posts "FAIL" or anything similar. Keep being polite, and you'll get respect :)
also can i post more bots in this thread?
Yeah he seems to be a very good listener, which is great for a new bot builder.Correction, being a good listener is good for ANY new member to ANY gaming forum.
If you stacked the black batteries, you could fit the third DDT in there by moving the other two backwards and out.Actually, I think he has enough room to move the DDTs outward as it is. Though if he did out a Snapper or 2 in the space between the DDTs, he could fit some razors on it, and it would be pretty good.
Hi J, those batteries don't even really do much, i threw in the nifty and the small battery pack to fill up the weight and the space --do you think it's a bad way to do it?If you make the chassis a lot smaller(Its so tall, yo), and maybe re-arranged the insides a bit and use maybe 1 to 2 Snappers in order to have things hovering over eachother, you could save a lot of weight and maybe fit more weapons and stuff on.
Only use 1 of the weapon systems.

Not really true. I think what Mr. Freez means is you should focus on just one weapon system for your bots while you are learning.
Yeah i made it so big because i thought it looked cool bigger. but that was back then when i was going for cool, but now i know that you try to make good bot that looks cool too. that bot did have a lot of wasted weight that could have been done way better. lol.....those are N-12s but i use shinnies and grannies as much as i can.Hi J, those batteries don't even really do much, i threw in the nifty and the small battery pack to fill up the weight and the space --do you think it's a bad way to do it?If you make the chassis a lot smaller(Its so tall, yo), and maybe re-arranged the insides a bit and use maybe 1 to 2 Snappers in order to have things hovering over eachother, you could save a lot of weight and maybe fit more weapons and stuff on.
...Also, Fatboys tend to be a little exposed and eat up a lot of weight.
These are definitely very promising designs ! You truly do have a lot of potential.Thanks!
Watching this showcase, it might become one of the best in a few weeks.

Not really true. I think what Mr. Freez means is you should focus on just one weapon system for your bots while you are learning. Once you are proficient with that you can start building multi-weapon system bots. There are plenty of decent bots that use multiple weapon systems, but you should learn more before doing that.
You are learning though! It will take time and lots of critical feedback, but you will do just fine.
That robot looks pretty good.Thanks, and your bots aren't bad :P
I'm no expert but you're probably way better than me.
My robots aren't good but you're robots have potential.
Warning.Dont use BFE if its a SERIOUS bot,for a tournament as well as,well,anything really,its gonna be DQ from tornaments,and frowned on.He doesn't use BFE, and i wouldn't enter my bots that do.
The Dreaded Shredder, eh? Tonight, he dines on Turtle Soup.???
Needs moar razors, less empty space.He has a total of 12 razors, i don't see much space i can fill up, but i could probably fit a pink batt in there.
I've built a Heavyweight pop-up with 60 razors. 10=/=60Needs moar razors, less empty space.He has a total of 10 razors, i don't see much space i can fill up, but i could probably fit a pink batt in there.

60 razors is complete overkill. Seism 13 only has 10 razors, R4 had 20. I think 20's the maximum you can get away with while still being reasonably effective.I've built a Heavyweight pop-up with 60 razors. 10=/=60Needs moar razors, less empty space.He has a total of 10 razors, i don't see much space i can fill up, but i could probably fit a pink batt in there.

Keep your designs simple. That last popup is incredibly messy.Messy? mebey that the motors are outside?
.It's a reference to this scene from the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon-The Dreaded Shredder, eh? Tonight, he dines on Turtle Soup.???
Yeah, please swap out the t connectors for regular 20cm ROUND extenders and use the side attachment points.
Black fits more the color theme, but put just one red round extender too... for Sage.
Those look to be V3 machines, judging by Maelstrom. If you get V4, then Maelstrom has twice as many weapons, and MUCH better protection.
Also, the front pointy bits of the chassis are pointless, you can chop them off and extend the chassis back a little to get the air tanks in properly. Although the piston isn't doing much, I'd just make it a normal rammer. In which case it needs at least 4WD HPZs. T connectors are effectively wasted weight, round extenders are much lighter, and give you two AP's for weapons in this configuration. But axe heads are a pretty good choice on rammers, you could add some more of those with some leftover weight.
BFE = D:
He means it's a bad thing, not that he doesn't know how to do it.Oh, i don't think it's bad unless it's a illegal contest bot.
That's true, but you need to get some practice in with regular competition bots beforehand, otherwise you will end up with a Zombie Pirate Ninja. It was one of my earliest DSL bots, I entered it in BBEANS 6, and it got soundly thrashed. =]I'm gonna try out Starcore 4.
And Starcore V4 might have less bots, but I have so far spotted no errors with it at all, and the robots are considerably more challenging. Maelstrom, as I said, has twice the weaponry and far better protection, and it's pretty much the same right the way through the pack.
Cool. I don't really see the point of the upper plows on Anti-Gravity and those wedges don't look very efficient.Well, the upper plows are mostly just to fill up the weight :P but i think it makes self righting easier, and bots get right under him without the wedges.
For Alpha Bomb, downgrade the drive to regular Z-Teks (unless you can shrink the chassis well enough or something) and stack a black.regular Z-Teks will probably help him not fly around the place (but that's when he caused the most damage, but i'll try it anyway) and yeah, i can stack a black.
Could you get away with a nifty?I could maybe fit a Nifty in, but i made the chassis just for a Bigvolt. Thanks, i will raise the motors (why didn't I think of that.)
Looks nice, raising the motors for the wheels should help.
Make it invertibleit actually drives invertible somehow, not that good tho. i'll raise the motors to fix that.
Here's a rammer i made, Venom:

Very nice bot, keep up the good work. I would think razors could substitute the pointy tips, though.
Congrats on cloning very easy to build, already established bots. gjIt's too much of a generic design to be a clone.
Very nice bot, keep up the good work. I would think razors could substitute the pointy tips, though.Thanks! but i think the pointy tips look cooler. :P
Turn the left-side axes the other way. It'd look awesome.I tried that, too bad it wouldn't let me.
Not too bad. Strictly speaking, it needs 2 Blackvolts, though.I would have, but I didn't have enough weight.
That looks similar to Osiris. Not a direct clone....you're totally awesome, man. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/thumbup.gif)Fixed (https://gametechmods.com/forums/Smileys/gtm/mrgreen.gif)
Stack the batteries and make the chassis a quadrilateral (stack the wheels into the zteks using axle loading) to save weight for MOAR RAZORZWhich would make the weapons go slower causing them to be easier to be torn off by HS

I think it will save weight at least
expect some bots tomorrow.Well, I'm not saying tomorrow, but pretty soon you can expect some bots. (really)
If Hax Mode is public, then I don't see why you're not releasing a stacking glitch. It's not as if anyone will gain anything from knowing it.It's not that I'm afraid that anyone will gain anything, it's that I'm not sure that it would work for everybody, that it may only work on my computer. but if any body wants me to reveal it i will but not right now, i give a hint:
And they called me a "h4><0r", even forced me to make a video proof for a crossed blacks stacking, back then...Really? :P yeah, I've seen some videos of yours with the stacked blacks.
:laughing
Looks awesome to me :)Thanks. :)
I would put the pistons on top and the air tanks on the bottom. You don't want to risk letting the weapons touch the ground.Probably gonna do that. Thanks for the input.
Keep the maces. They're good weapon breakers, and (I think) the bot would still be invertible.
You could always add ice-picks on the end to keep the weapon off the ground, otherwise lookin goodMight do, and Thanks. :)
That's awesome. Love the purple maces.Thanks. :) I like them too.
How does it do against HS? My mace poker usually has a few issues with them. Then again it has a bigger chassis than yours.

It looks good, but triple stack the BA's (no extenders), shrink the chassis, it will save a lot of weight for more weapons. :DThanks, I'll do that.
could also turn the motor ba's 90 degrees to save extender weight, and the motors would be less likely to fall off because you wouldn't have flimsy 100 hp extendersSure thing.
did you do anything to get it like that? :P

Since when could i stack? :dumb)
-3 RADs
-4 Niftys
-1 Nifty in 1 HPZ
-12 Servos
-9 Controlboards
-2 Blacks
-1 Servo in 1 BA
-3 Airtanks
- 2 Snapper IIs.
I love that you use my crazy Iron Spike colors hahaYeah. I thought they looked cool. :P
and also that overexposed pickaxe.
Nice stacks btw too. Weird how you could do hax mode without doing hax mode.
barbie used to do something like what you did to make some of her spinners iirc. kinda like some version of hax mode that doesn't involve a piston.Sounds cool. Do you have a picture?

I just stacked two RADs into a HPZ + Nifty while being exo-stacked... :eek:Pics, scrub.
that isn't a possible stack with advanced stacking / the normal method for stacking.Nope.
Even so, that bot you're making can be done without that stack ;)1 word. Plastic.

Not that it really matters, since you could have probably just put an extender on the HPZ to act as an anchor.

Hi everybody! Here's a bot I made a few days ago, SpinAndWin. He can't really drive well, but if he just sits there and spins, he can win.....most of the time. He has DSA armor, Z-teks for his saws and spinner, and he's invertible. (I'll probably make a better skin for him later.)

Probably the popup. All look cool thoI'll take that into consideration. And thanks. :)
Well for a one to one clone, it's pretty good. I'm impressed you managed to pull that off.Well thanks. :)
Awesome job bro. Even with the step-by-step I gave in silverfish's showcase, this is a bastard to build.Thanks Sage. Yeah it was. :P
Challenge: using 4 snappers instead of 6, make it effective :)

How do you get the BA on? (never seen that glitch) and what texture pack is that? and what ai pack? (XD i know it's a lot of questions)1. exostacking
have a tutorial somewhere?there is nothing special towards doing it, it's like normal stacking, expect instead of trying to stack into another item you are just stacking into the chassis side.

Have you tried using irons on that bot?
I´ve got a feeling that this pushes the stack limit rules for all tournaments, although making something like this looks quite improbable, so video proof should be shownI did post a video.

i enjoy this bot.thanks. :)
by no means is it a bad bot, but that is probably the worst way you could've mounted the drive.Yeah, I had a feeling that wasn't the best way to do it. How do you think I should have done it?
Yeah, I had a feeling that wasn't the best way to do it. How do you think I should have done it?
I kind of miss the pole spikes sticking out the sides, though.oh yeah, I forgot about those. That would be a nice touch, if I had extra weight.
if I had extra weight.Theres literally a ballast sitting there doing nothing. Unless stock scramble forces you to use a ballast, why not replace it with the pole spikes?
because 4 pole spikes and 4 bas weigh a lot moreExactly.
How about ditching the ballast and switching to shinies? Would the wheels ruin the aesthetic?This, also fits the ronin theme more by having the wheels poke out of the top. Feels wrong to have wheel holes in the skin with no wheels to go through.
weight distribution doesn't mean anything if he placed the wheels first
Dude, moonlight is hella rad
I like duality, RAD spinners are rad.Thanks guys.
Maybe the angle is kinda weird, but the CB + Black stack on Duality is kinda odd looking.I mean, I guess. I don't really see how it matters, If it works it works. thanks btw
Guess it doesn't matter that much, still looks cool.
i think you should widen the spinners on mortality a little, so they can grab the sides of bots more easily. other than that your bots all look solid.Yeah, I originally had the spinners wider, idk why i changed it. and thanks. (:
anthracite looks pretty cool. Too bad the extenders will get taken off before the plows :gawe:thx, and idk how to do side armour on a popup like that lol
also i kinda dig the circa 2006 names. its refreshing not to have meme names honestly.
Love the looks of it, seems super tight, and bear claws always look sweet. cool to see people posting in old showcases too, sometimes you just gotta bring it back to stock RA2
I really like this build. It will of course live and die by the wedges but it certainly looks cool.Glad you like it, thank you. Very true, RA2 moment
How's the wobble? Are all the front motors on snappers?
(Also I'm not convinced that little notch in the back is saving you weight but probably no other use for the kg)
