Post by: Naryar on November 07, 2012, 08:13:40 AM
Very good for a start. May want to put the motor higher, build to weight limit, use a HP ztek, and put the wedges higher so the bot isn't prone to going on it's back.

Protip:If it was sent by anyone with a colored name it is IMMEDIATLY worth listening to what they say.
Also, flails arent very good in stock as they can face inwards and be absolutely useless.So rid yourself of the axles to save weight and and get better weaponary from what you have, which also is actually semi decent.

For example, replace the axle with an extender rotated so that the attachment point is facing outward, and attach another extender to that. That way you can line up razors next to each other

flails are useful for disc hs and sns.

but yes, flail vs are mostly useless and are for originality only. and if you want this to be better, you should upgrade the drive motors, make it so the wedges are parallel to the ground, and add more weaponry.

If you download Sage's Skin Pack (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Misc/Sage_Skin_Pack.rar (https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Misc/Sage_Skin_Pack.rar)) it has a marked extender.

Post by: Mr. AS on November 08, 2012, 05:39:29 AM
much better, but you dont need 2 blacks for this, a single nifty should do the job

also rotate the zteks 90 degrees so you can use shinies
Title: Re: My stock showcase

This my Rammer
Battery:2 blacks
Drive: HP z-tek
armour: DSA
Weapon:16 axeheads
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96670screenshot_6.jpg)
 Suggestions can be made.... :bigsmile:
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 08, 2012, 07:12:36 AM
you don't really need armor everywhere

lighten your extender work, also remove 1 black and replace it with a nifty. 1 black + 1 nifty is ideal for a 4WD HW rammer.
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Craniumbasher24 on November 08, 2012, 07:16:33 AM
well ok i'll remove the back armour to become lighter secondly i'll add a spinner upward so i can gut rip some thing :gunz:
 and another can i ask how to creat your own skin??
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: 090901 on November 08, 2012, 02:07:50 PM
dont use square extenders unless they are the 140cm ones that weigh 5kg
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on November 08, 2012, 04:08:25 PM
Don't add a spinner to it, just keep adding weapons.
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: CameraFan on November 09, 2012, 01:16:11 AM
Download the 1.4 patch and use the Snapper II to mount wedges etc, it's lighter though a bit bigger iirc.
And to create your own skin, go onto the paintjob section of the lab, find "Export texture", do that and edit the skin in paint.net, gimp etc and once you're done go back onto paintjob, click "Import texture" and import it.
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Craniumbasher24 on November 09, 2012, 07:40:57 AM
well thnx i used square extenders because i can turn them easily than the round ones i know square extenders are heavier than the round ones

There's probably a custom texture that highlights the side where the APs are. But idk, I gave up on stock a while back.

1 Black

No, that's nonsense. Do you know why 36HS use 2 blacks despite having 6 motors, like this bot ?
Title: Re: My stock showcase

36HS =/= Rammer

and in his beetlebro site he made a rammer with only 1 black, and it was awesome (speaking of which, here it is:

hey guess what batteries power

motors
and guess what they both have in common

same amount of motors
and anyway 2 blacks is better for lasting longer in matches which is what most rammers need.

also stacking blacks isn't too hard, you just need a little bit of patience. iirc there were a few stacking tutorials by sage/someone else which is pretty good
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on November 10, 2012, 10:04:55 AM
i like how instead of gauche, its now naryar and ty4er giving the bad advice here

1 Black

No, that's nonsense. Do you know why 36HS use 2 blacks despite having 6 motors, like this bot ?
because on 36hs you have ~4 of the motors with 90+ kg on them, so they need to be at full force the entire match.

i even have a quote from le sage face on it
You only need ONE black for this.

If spinmotors take 100 amps each, and blacks give out 800, then 6 motors only need 1 black. For 36HS you want two because the spin motors have a lot of weight on them and you need max power for longer, but with rammers you really only need the first ram to be at max.

Use the rest of the weight on weapons or armor.

1 Black

You only need 1 black.  For both HW rams AND HS.

Rams stand no chance against wedge and can only win by de-weaponing against a HS.

And 2 black on HS is stupid too.  Tell me which matchup does a HS need another 20 seconds of full power at the cost of 3 bear claws.  Against Popup?  Nope you either kill or be dead by then.  HS?  Well I took out a black in BEAR, add 3 claws, and run it again the old BEAR, guess which one wins?  Against FSnS?  Ram?  Nope weapon weight matters more there too.

In clickbeatles tutorial he made 6 hp z-tek rammer with only one black and he's said its ok yo use one black holla :dance:
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 10, 2012, 11:07:07 PM
One of the simplest and best reasons why 6WD rammers use 1 black is because they usually have 4WD steering. 36HS have all motors in play so they have to remain fully powered.

You don't need more than one black.

and yes you may want to learn how to overlap stuff with snappers.

heck you even gave it the same paintjob as dark july...

you are overkilling in batts. 1 nifty or even 2 pinks should suffice for this, but i would go with 1 nifty
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 11, 2012, 11:29:49 AM
yeah it's pretty much a dark july clone.

You probably didn't know what dark july is, so it's fine. Besides everyone can have a slow rammer, right ?
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on November 11, 2012, 01:49:43 PM
Yeah, put in a nifty and more spikes.

Remove the pink batteries and ballast, and try to add snapper and wedge.
Title: Re: My stock showcase

Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: CameraFan on November 18, 2012, 08:11:53 AM
then at least move the snapper 2 into the middle to use less weight on extender work
and im sure shinies are faster than rubberwheels.
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Craniumbasher24 on November 18, 2012, 08:14:49 AM
all wheels in stock have the same traction that means they have the same speed and about the snapper two it's ok..
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on November 18, 2012, 08:16:51 AM
If you can't get moar razors, twist them about with the shift key until they fit together, that usually works.
Title: Re: My stock showcase
Post by: Craniumbasher24 on November 18, 2012, 08:19:33 AM
There are actually 3 extenders and 3 razors on each DDT.

1 hpz takes in 100 whatever
It's fine.
