Ha, you know, I have never succeeded in optimizing the chassis's height.

There, battle shots:

Well, I think I could go to a MW tourney with that... uh oh, a non-realistic one...

Its really easy. Go all the way to the bottom of the slider bar. Then you ill notice if you move it up really slowly it goes in tiny segments. Only 5 is all you need for Hp zteks. A nifty with the cb inside it is only 3 and a black batt with a control board ontop is only 2.

But yeah about the bot. Looks pretty good! Maybe you will consider entering unknowns tournament than.

Done for the tourney, finally!

But I can't AI it and I fear he'll drive really bad... without me :D

this remembers me the Pyscolones popup challenge. HP ztek drive, rubber wheels, 2 blacks, DSA, 3 DDTs, 1 wedge and 8 razors. good bot.

Yeah. Some more pictures, from DSL now...

Btw,I have a technical question: What do you guys think it's best, a drumlike VS with 4 Ztek-powered discs with 4 iron spikes each (total 16 iron spikes) for weapons, or a real drum with only 2 zteks for weapons, but way more weapons on each disc?

RA2lover · « **Reply #25 on:** March 30, 2008, 02:48:17 PM »

both are good. but remember damage is calculated using the impact speed and piercind and concussion values, so use a big drum.

yeah, hate to break it to you but

A. ra2lover does not know what hes talking about
B. hardly anyone plays DSL, and RA2 as it is
C. NO THUMBNAILS.

Naryar · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2008, 05:15:55 AM »

I'm playing DSL too, and for the thumbnails, ImageShack does not gives me a choice. Or you can help me with the thumbnails...

Good idea. I'll think to it next time.

or did you not catch my wave.

dont post DSL paraphenalia in the stock showcase.!

BIG EDIT: Oh, I just understood your point InfiniteInertia. You're here because I posted DSL-like pictures in the OFFICIAL FORUM, exactly in the Stock RA part. And you came here for that ? Alright, I'll just use the tournament part there... Gametechmods is definitely safer. But I still doesn't see why the part B is useful.

About the choice between drum and quadruple vertical spinner, the big drum makes WAY more damage than the four vertical spinners but is also WAY more unstable (I just experienced it... damnit, my drum bot was ruined by a piece of crap named Billy Goat Gruffiest). Oh, I should perhaps put the drum on DDTs, not on Snapper2's... perhaps the Chopsticks-like chassis is poor.

And if there's a drum pro here, I could use his help...

do you have a screenshot? it would help.

Naryar · « **Reply #34 on:** April 02, 2008, 08:36:41 AM »

Oh, of course. I'll send some.

Two views of it in the bot lab:

Then, giving it a try in the test area: I fire the Snapper2's (which are originally used for a srimech). The two parts of the drum stay there (too heavy for the Snapper2's too lift, I suppose) and then I launch the drum (rotating upwards like Nightmare).

Then, somersault !

And he ends like that

Barely lands on his wheels seconds after.

Quite the same thing when facing an opponent, but somersaults in the opposite direction...

Humiliating, isn't it? Damn, I re-designed the chassis four times at least to get THAT...

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #35 on:** April 02, 2008, 09:58:55 PM »

well the pictures arent really big enough so all i can tell you is that thheres either not enough weapon clearance, the weapon setup is unbalanced, or the center of gravity is messed around.

not even really a drum bot...

sergeim · « **Reply #36 on:** April 03, 2008, 01:55:50 AM »

wow hard stuff going on here

Naryar · « **Reply #37 on:** April 03, 2008, 06:01:15 AM »

Sergeim, you can't understand that. You're not even playing RA2.

Well InfiniteInertia, you're right, that's more of a wide VS if you think of it... I'll made a real drum and post it here.

It must be because of the instability of the weapon, 150 kg weighting on each snapper2... but no low weapon clearance, I can assure you.

sergeim · « **Reply #38 on:** April 04, 2008, 05:47:23 PM »

how do i get that game for my laptop?

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #39 on:** April 04, 2008, 09:40:06 PM »

Most drums are too unstable to put on snappers. You should probobly just attach the Z teks straight onto the chassis. Then you will be able to put more weapons on the drum too.
