Trim the chassis down and switch the Supervolt for a Nifty That'll cause a low battery issue. , then you'll be able to get 9 maces on an extra 14 kg will NOT give me enough weight to do that, preferably by using extra extenders pointing down on the ends of the spinner or that either.
Trim the chassis down and switch the Supervolt for a Nifty That'll cause a low battery issue. No it won't, a Nifty can give around enough for 2 HP-Z Teks, then you'll be able to get 9 maces on an extra 14 kg will NOT give me enough weight to do that. Then trim the chassis like I said, preferably by using extra extenders pointing down on the ends of the spinner or that either. Then stack the Control Board in the Nifty.
Here's an Idea, remove 1 drive motor. Then the nifty will power it fine and you can have MOAR weapons! [/1wd promotion]NOOO
You should probably try it with a SnapperII setup. You can power the bot with a Nifty as well, so take a look into that as well. Try to stack the Control Board into the Nifty as well, it'll save you a bunch of space.Tip for the CB Nifty stack, try raising the control board off the baseplate it makes it 100 times easier for some reason

Maces take up too much weight on LW, use razors.Not necessarily
Then see if you can fit in HPZ's outside the chassis.
6 maces = 60 KGMaces take up too much weight on LW, use razors.Not necessarily

I think you could conserve chassis weight by using a rectangular chassis for some reason. Dunno why.Tried a recanglular chassis (actually more square-ish): Only saved enough weight for 2 irons like so:
MAKE IT 3WD

It's clearly not an IRL bot. If this is allowed, then I feel like I should be allowed to put in Iron Oxide with invincible caster armour. go ahead It's clearly not a flipper either, as the iron spikes prevent the opponent from going up the wedges any distance at all. the wedges are wired to flip and the image probably doesn't display it too well, but bots still ride up onto the wedges enough to get flipped over when they fire
Sorry, but where in real life would you see a weapon rack like that? weld 2 iron spikes together onto a red colored metallic extender, ???, PROFIT!
The flippers make no sense. The weapons give the flippers a very small amount of space for a bot to drive onto them, not to mention that if it does flip they'll go right through the weapons. it's just so it can score ko's and knock components off, which it can do (sometimes), the flippers actually barely miss the irons in testing
I'm a bit skeptical as to how you've attached the Snapper2s there, I'd have thought you could have attached them to the baseplate.they are, the drive just intersects them
That is one of the cutest rammers I've seen. Pretty simple setup, too. :3thanks
Really? It looks like they're angled forwards quite a lot. You could get the 6WD setup with only one SnapperII, though, so that would save you a bit of weight for something else.I'm a bit skeptical as to how you've attached the Snapper2s there, I'd have thought you could have attached them to the baseplate.they are, the drive just intersects them

Nicely built. Not too sure about invertibility, tribars could have also been better aligned. How many blacks?not invertable :(
Nice but why Square extenders?
holy carp, just tested the wedge and it slid right under insectoid and nwbI jelly
first time i've ever outwedged/beaten insectoid yey
And the setup looks a little bit messy, how did you lay out your extenders?kinda like this

bingoI question the benefits of those side razors, but other than that it is a really solid build.I think the benefit is to fill the weight limit. :P
wide bot is widewill do
What I might do is try to get the DDT's right in by the SnapperII's, by axle loading the axles out of the way first. That'll allow you to make the chassis more compact, lose the razors on the wedges, and perhaps add a wamming rack or something, like my Parabolic Trajectory series of bots. You'll want to make sure the bot doesn't tip over when an opponent hits the wamming rack, though.
....Hax? :Pif you consider axle loading and using 30 minutes to do some legit stacks to be hax then yes
Now put them to some practical use. =Phere we go.
plasTICK;)
Awh, you made that bot for me? :P Nah, it looks kinda mental. Can it self-right?yes (not that it gets flipped often)
FS looks very nice indeed. Not too sure about the wedge spacing, maybe try to get them a bit wider.ok, i'll use the 2 extenders on the end for that
HS looks a bit mad, Z-Teks are a bit too far out for my liking.
the fs looks too narrow for my tastes.i'll think about that, tho it wouldnt be able to selfright if it ever get flipped
why not use a blue snapper for the wedge on the tick clone? it saves weight and possibly allows the use of dsa, and blue snappers wedges aren't all that bad in the middleweight class.
How does it do against popups?really well, best out of 5 vs hot wheels combat zone no hazards aid and i won 3-0, theres 4 casters on the bottom they are the second thinnist one you can choose
give it two blacks if the extra power really matters
Can you get DSA by trading out 2 pole spikes for 2 razors?i probably could but i was told that sting ray has to be a pole spike rammer/poker/etc and idk if sage would accept it as a razor rammer......

how's the wedge's though?
Does look very effective, but I'm really not a fan of the extender work. It looks far too fragile for my liking. Would it work if the Snapper2 and Z-tek were on the same extender? The Snapper axle could be loaded out of the way to attach the Z-tek.i think i tried that kind of setup when building this and i dont think it was able to attach
(and did you skin all of those stuffs yourself? i want it!)no i only skinned the round extender (as in i changed the color of the one in sages skin pack) and i slightly altered the wedge, the rest are from here https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,804.0.html (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,804.0.html)
Since Ouncey did a great job at unintentionally building a mini-Archetype, I took a whack at building a mini-Solstice:Of course, you managed to get DSA. Maybe you should make it a true popup though, because the razors are pretty far back. I would also invert the tribar like ty4er said, though you may have to angle the motors down more for better scooping. The tribars are currently partly under the chassis which leaves it exposed, and the razors look like they might extend beyond the wedges, so try fixing both of those things while adjusting the RADs, or just make the wedges longer for the razor issue. Also :( no CB/Black stack. As for the back setup:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15554anomaly.PNG)
Stole my ReStocked Bushido's chassis, 399.0kg, plastic. Surprisingly wedgy and deadly. :O
Yeah, flip the tribar and angle it forwards slightly so that it scoops the bots up. Also, when the heck did you get good at building? :PHe's been good at stock for a while, see his bot for the challenge against Wolfsbane.
Scaled-down poopup?pretty much
Lol @ the forum retard being better than half of ituh thanks i geuss
Square extenders make RA2 gods cry.theyre the super long ones that weigh 5kg, e.g. less than the equal amount of round extender would
helodon't have much to say here(i don't build flippers), but can you make the wedge also fire when the flippers fire, you know, to increase flipping power?(and can you rotate the spike strip 180 degrees so that the pointy side of the spike strip points down).
but can you make the wedge also fire when the flippers fire, you know, to increase flipping power?.
Maybe if the wedge fired downwards.but can you make the wedge also fire when the flippers fire, you know, to increase flipping power?.
that would actually decrease flipping power because the weight of the bot that's being flipped would cause the the flipper to tilt over.
Can't really see the front flipper setup. Where are the blades attached, on DDTs? Also I would reduce weight somewhere to get better protection on your wedges that doesn't get in the way unlike those extenders. How is it against SnS/Maelstrom or some 36HS/Alien Queen? And does it still do well in an arena like BBEANS where there's no super-fast initial charge?so theres a 20cm extender, then a bracket on the end, then a blade on the side ap of the 20cm (aka on the bottom) (yeah not really doing much, probably going to move them onto the wedges where they would do something, thus solving the wedge protection issue)
see: stock ai sentinelbut can you make the wedge also fire when the flippers fire, you know, to increase flipping power?.

You can actually move the razorz on the end closer to the others, you know....i think the sides of the outer extender would be more exposed to hs then
is that Loads of money?nah man loadsamoney has 3 hpz and is a mw..... and i havent gotten around to updating it yet so that it doesnt suck
Looking suitably mad. I approve of the stacking and general overall glitching. Interesting Redbird setup, does that affect speed/damage at all?its better against gutrippers/popups than your average bumble bee clone but its lack of speed means its worse against hs
I really like it, nice build.lel i might actually try that someday, have a hpz on one extender pointing up and another on the other side pointing down
It'd be interesting if you could move two of the side discs to the top and bottom and be a crazy spikeball. I know you cant with the current setup but it wouldbe dope
well, if 2 green snappers can self-right a HW, then it's enough to fire the bot upwards...Can't really see the front flipper setup. Where are the blades attached, on DDTs?

this one is called PurpleSands II, a sequel to a bot i accidentally baleeted a good time ago (it had an internal hpz 9 irons and plastic i think), this was mainly inspired by fractures 9 mace dsa hs so i decided to make one of my own without the motor being overly exposed to enemy attacks (idk if it gets hit by hammers though, even though there arent a whole ton of lw hammers anyway) and with narrowness not being a problem. as a hs its awful (DISAPPOINTING, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING) because it has absolutely no stability (just like the original PurpleSands) but when i started using it as a sns most of the stability problems went away magically. and yes that is Anty C's chassis. dsa (!) 9 maces (9000 hp) and 1 nifty, cb is under the rads
But can it beat 18HS?it does pretty well against tornado v0.1, mainly luck of "who outweapons who first"

you can't put them as high.
other than that and the fact that the wheels are inside the bot, it's pretty nice actually (and can you use 25 cm casters for this? might give more protection).
this is what rapidchain shouldve been......
and one snapper setup ? i think i may try this
You should angle these maces.the maces mesh protects them more than youd think, like on quark or sages tornado v2
except if you lose the most exposed mace it becomes more vulnerable to a spinner striking high and you lose maces stupidlyYou should angle these maces.the maces mesh protects them more than youd think, like on quark or sages tornado v2
I tried servo wedges a few times, they weren't so great.with 20cm shorter wedges and e-wedges they seem to be alot better than when i used small wedges :confused: ,
Unless you can make them good, of course.
Servo wedges work just as fine as Snapper2s, but I don't like them since they have to be attached weird and can't self-right.sometimes this can selfright bounty-hunter style, but yeah i only used these over S2's because they would fit

Well the setup's here if that's what you want to see:well you can remove the extender holding the extender that holds the drive for 2 kgs (to put a sacrifical extender up front...).

a sacrificial extender isn't as useful as that extender holding the drive.But he can attach the extender that holds the drive directly into the hidden AP of the snapper II...

looks cool. i had made something a lot like this a while ago, but it had sidehammers instead of pistons. it sucked lol. does it have any bottom armor?it does not unfortunately. it seems to do alright against popups anyway
Eh. Having piston pokers like that without a front guard and with so much weight on them renders the piston part of it effectively arbitrary. In addition to that, the short range and the normals of the spikes makes it hard for them to do much of anything. Grannies are ugly, rubbers are much better looking and have a larger radius than you think, and weigh less.*grannies are boss

Nicely done! Also where the heck did you get that Snapper2 skin? Did I include that in my skin pack?it was in your skin store thread that i cant seem to find right now
you would be a lot better off having the snapper alignment flipped.....do you mean that id save more weight than my current T-connector + 2 round extender setup? or would the weapon placement be better? i dont really understand what you are saying.
chris just happened to finish his first because he has a weird comp or something :baffled:I told you had to raise the chassis instead of trying to stack a CB in a nifty and hpz, but someone didn't listen and that's why it took that someone longer. :dumb)
I call Hax Mode.nope, just advanced stacking
That vid is fake. He could have just edited out the part with the piston.yea rite venko
Alternatively, perhaps you guys have stumbled upon an alternate method for activating Hax Mode. It's a very similar concept, just with axle loading a HPZ instead of snapper loading a burst piston. BTW, unlike venko, I don't think it's ruining the game. RA2 is already dead. Being able to stack better, if anything, puts a little more life into it. I just think it it was possible to stack an HPZ normally, someone else would have discovered it long ago.Nah, it's not Hax Mode. All motors have axles in them right? Well those axles have collision meshes and make it almost impossible to stack things into them. When you axle load off the axle, it makes it easier and possible to stack things in it. If it was Hax Mode, the battery would have went in right away with out and rotating or anything. I have only found 2 different stacks to where you can get Nifites into HPZs. Also, if it was Hax Mode, I would have gotten my goal of getting 2 HPZ stack together. Sadly I don't think it's possible because of the axle collision mesh I talked about earlier.

Both look pretty nice. I'm still waiting for people to try out using extenders instead of tribars to save weight, you could probably change those claws to maces if you used plain old extenders :Pbut any rammer/fs/anything will an extender hs lol

*facepalm* whatever champ.like i get what youre saying, but its at 248 right now and the chassis is pretty tight. i cant use a 3 extender setup to make it wider or thatd bring me at MW.

I don't like the 140sI don't see why you would dislike them, as the Snapper II wasn't used in any AI bot as well.

It's a new version of Stab. I never showcased the original (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22773Stab_old.PNG) Because it was awful.
whats wrong with bear clawsabsolutely nothing
Pretty nice, don't know which of his bots you're referencing though.its loosely based off rpjk's bw, when i said loosely i DID mean loosely.
Good build but I don't think I'll ever be able to like it just because the chassis is so obnoxiousits a rectangle :/
f your movepixel crapno you could probably do this without movepixel
now to stack them with the same rotation...more or less did it.

No idea how you managed to stack those, nice work. That second one looks like it could be really useful on popups. While we're on the subject, any tips for stacking a cb inside a nifty?try a camera angle like this

Putting them closer will probably interfere with the wedge.He can put them a lil bit on the back to avoid that.

i will now start building bots down from team1 to 15 now. just need to fill in some holes and ai a bunch of robots.
Nah that's gonna lose to everything, cept maybe a rammer. HW + Hammer is one of the worst hybrids cause the HS just knocks them away, knocked you away, and you'll never get a good hammer hit off, especially not a few in a row that you need to KO.can't say i didn't try.

Don't maces make it wobble?it isnt bursted, so nope.

Does VS on RADs even work?yes, RAD VS'ers do work fine, it can KO bots in a reasonable amount of time at least.
so radi c what u did thar

Well, it's for sure original.you bet your anus it is
Nothing on the list about RW9? I am disappoint :Psorry, ai pack i've been working on for almost a year now + tourney i'm supposed to be running is a higher priority than rw9 right now.
So what do the picks do? Keep bots from flying past it?Obviously yeah.
So what do the picks do? Keep bots from flying past it?yes. it also screws with double HS.
how effective is strafing for the rammer?1 redbird isnt really enough to get blitzkrieg-level strafing on a hw, but its good enough to not get flanked as easily.
what could this be for??

looks like you have large gaps in that caster armor, does the bot not get hit sometimes between the casters ?rarely.
I don't know what it is... but it just doesn't seem as good as your other bots. Got battleshots?What? It's literally made to get destroyed in one hit, like the targets in Super Smash Bros (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meVDdDjRBoY). Of course it isn't going to be good at combat.

Quotebut muh turn speedLike I need turn speed to beat HS.
woah, is that much arm strong enough?
i mean, won't it fracture?
If you make your popups so narrow that they get smacked away in a single hit by HS or build them to kill other popups, turn speed might matter. None of those really apply to this bot though.Quotebut muh turn speedLike I need turn speed to beat HS.
Uh, turn speed is kind of important. HS knocks you sideways and you can't turn fast enough to face it again, you're screwed.
Finally someone else built one!... ill be right back
Looks nice.

Tirebot! Man that takes me back. Cool to see one in RA2.Don't know how I went and built this without remembering Tirebot, but it's a MW.
What weight class is it?
I'm not huge fan of the skin. How about making it black and adding couple of nice colors?Well, you see, the skin isn't exactly my #1 priority when it comes to bot building.
Can't the anchor be flush to the chassis wall to not use the extender? Or is the side too warped for that to happen?iunno, I'll probably try later, but I don't really know what to do with 4 kg apart from having a very slightly larger chassis.
intredastingHEY
intredastingHEY
THAT'S MY LINE
also i have a feeling you could remove these extenders and razors and put 2 irons somewhere on your spinners, but it'll make it more generic...I'm guessing the extenders and razors are for stability reasons.
Post some really, really old and/or badly made stock bots and I will attempt to improve them.How about this?

I stole the chassis, internal components and drive from Somebody's Chernobyl to test an idea. Remember Scrambler...?

It is underweight and being so out of practice in stock, I changed the armor which made me lose the DSA. Probably a bit underpowered too.
Oh and rule of 7 screwed me on adding more weapons.
Well, the "not" is correct in this case.It's just a rebuild of this bot:
Not bad, although I feel you used that chassis for an older bot you built.
(http://i.imgur.com/tOpNHbv.jpg)I had to redo the chassis because I don't have the original any more.
(http://i.imgur.com/Vi1Aqfn.jpg)
Chills, plastic and HPZ for weapon. weird drive setup allows for better turning. what to do with the last two kg though... =s
Send me those teams baby. I already got one from RedAce and it's looking good.Thank you very much. I was worried it wasn't good enough.
Here's my robot. His name is Billy. He has DSA.4/20 national stock bot building dayAnd no stock bots have been showcased for this holiday.
Well then, I feel awkward inside now. The bot looks pretty good. It kinda looks like that bot in that MW challenge we had.That's because it is that bot in that MW challenge we had.
I likeeee it. The problem is that when you don't burst the motors they actually spin way slower than you think they would.It has more than it's fair share of problems against popups and anything else that relies on box rushing because of how slowly the motors spin. Seems to do really well against other HS though, but that might just be the weapon setup.
it was a completely different type of VS. not built as a gutripper, but built as a power-focused VS.As true as that may be, I was told that I had to make a VS/Flipper hybrid that wasn't generic (as if VS/flipper hybrids are generic to begin with), and as far as I know it fulfills those requirements. Just because the weapon isn't a tribar attached to chained HPZ's doesn't mean it's not a VS. I probably should change the Z-teks to HPZ's and get rid of the filler extenders though.
literally (As opposed to figuratively?) the only things that are similar is that they both have vertical spinning weapons, both have a flipper element and both have 4 wedges.
tl;dr why is this called TtTtM i have no ideaFirst off, 2 sentences isn't "tl;dr" unless your reader has the attention span of a housefly.
How is the popup element on the hybrid?Better than the flipper. It actually does damage and doesn't lose wedge wars on me.
also flipper iz kul
Welp, my VS + flipper didn't even face sage in the brackets. But the flipper on it sucked, so I make it into a VS + popup hybrid instead.Pleased to hear it has more synergy. The flipper just kept getting in the way of the VS before I changed its AI.

Plastic. It flips.
Does the shallowness make up for the lack of speed?Yes.
Heh, very cool. How does it fare against HS?
slashback ninja and iceberg2 out of 3. Not bad.
also can the hammer self-rightNo, but if it's getting flipped over it's more likely than not screwed anyway.
BackSlash, BOT-204, and IceBerg? Those were what I can conclude.
Oh yeah, nice bots. You think you could use 140 cms instead of swords to get an HPZ on that VS?
In case you were wondering, the 3 MWs were Devil, Ninja and Iceberg.Curses. So I guess that poker I built was for nothing then.
Would it be better if it just had 3 razors on 1 Snapper2 with a much shallower chassis?he's already got like 3423412513451 different bots like that though
The bot itself looks pretty nasty. Does it last long against HS?It does alright. Haven't AI'd it yet, so that might affect how it actually performs.

ENTER BLOOD CRAVINGS INTO NOOB WARSConsidering this. I'm gonna have to noob it up a bit more though, since it has razors.
how did you attach the drive on that remake bot you linked again? is it just a T connector out the back with 2 extenders facing inwards?Yeah that's exactly what the setup is. One of my favorites. Although it really isn't weight efficient to use a snapper just for drive when you could just use two baseplate anchors. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=6848.msg655694#msg655694)

This is a robot that I've been working on for a really long time you guys, it took a lot of effort to place everything on the absolutely tiny triangular 2x1 chassis that I used. It has redbird drive, 2 nifties and a pink. Please clap.
For the record, I'd just like to reiterate that I spent the past 5 years of my life stacking and exostacking every individual part on this robot, and definitely did not use the newly released (as in, released a few hours before this post) and easy to use sergepatcher (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=18939.msg700358#msg700358) to build this. No sir.
On a serious note, with sergepatcher it's virtually impossible to keep track of what's built legitimately and what isn't. If someone wants to go ahead and re-build all the robots in ASAI with sergepatcher, that's fine with me. I'm busy with Retooled. Also, reminder that you're still not allowed to intersect spinning parts or stack components on the baseplate under standard realism rules.
