Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 01, 2009, 07:13:21 PM: I'm bored of making crap MW face spinners now, so I rather start off my showcase.

First bot out is Lil Spinner.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64710Lil%20Spinner%20v1.1.jpg)
Pros:
-Stable
-Short spin up time.
-DSA

Cons:
-Exposed weapons/wheels
-Not invertible

Post by: Sage on May 01, 2009, 07:29:15 PM: looks good. nice tight chassis.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Urjak on May 01, 2009, 07:47:47 PM: Yeah, look like a very effective HS.

Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on May 01, 2009, 08:23:10 PM: Why isn't it invertible? Couldn't you easily use a 90 degree baseplate anchor and put the motors in the front to make it invertible?

Otherwise it looks like a pretty good bot.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Hydro on May 01, 2009, 08:27:35 PM: hmm... it does look possible...

I guess I could do that, but wouldn't that make the weapon motors even more exposed? It almost never get flipped around as it is either, so it's not that much of a problem.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70765Face spinner.crap.jpg)

I liked the idea and the stacking. That said the bot is crap, so I better start think of something new. For some reason the discs aint aligned while the weapon motors are :S

Post by: somestrangeguy on May 02, 2009, 08:46:31 AM: I think thats a minor AGOD, I have seen sometimes my bots wheels spin like its offcenter or disc wobble a little when its on a baseplate mounted Ztec.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: infiniteinertia on May 02, 2009, 10:49:11 AM: Not AGOD, just the bad flexing of the snapper.

Post by: Oggie on May 06, 2009, 05:40:46 AM: Here are 2 more atempts at MW FS:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7328Rolling%20Eyes.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57802Face%20Roller.jpg)

None of them are my entry. I will showcase that one when all bots are in.
Both of them are quite OK, but not good enough to fight the mighty Naryar. I guess I most of all tried to make something different than Billy Goat Gruffier.

Rolling Eyes was made to awoid the bots with 2 wide wedges, but I guess Face Roller is the only MW FS with 2 wide wedges anyway. Face Roller was made to test out how one spinner with thougher weapons would do. It turned out to loose the weapons first because of lower dmg and same hp. And it had huge problems when other bots came on the other side of the plows, which they often did (driving over the bot).
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 06, 2009, 06:06:35 AM: I'm actually planning to build something really like your Rolling Eyes.

Also i don't know why all of you guys must use plows... i really don't think a FS fighting another FS needs a plow.

Well... I'm using a plow to protect my HP Z-Teks, but it seems like he's using his for trapping.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 06, 2009, 04:46:15 PM: That's right. And with a tiny chassis like on my entry it's good to have for stability too, alongside with the protection of HP Z-Teks and discs.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 08, 2009, 04:51:15 AM: Here comes my entry for Brawl of the Builders:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36654Face%20Roller%202.jpg)

-All the parts are glitched on a Snapper II.
-Snapper2 for the wedge.
-Caster armor

As sage's it can't drive forward and turn left (only one at a time) while the weapons are spinning. I also wanted to add something to the top to stop bots from going over my bot, but it won't drive properly without the casters. Maybe I'll try to update it sometime.

Is it possible to make a symmetrical one using one snapper?

Yes. Here are my first atempt at a Pure HS:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96476First.HS.jpg)

If it wasn't for the fact that it got serious problems with AGOD I would have put some more time in it and tried to make it better. Other than that I'm quite happy building a Pure HS on one snapper without looking on someone else first. I might try to build a working HS sometime, but it's hard to make one without making a copy of some other bot.

Post by: Reier on May 13, 2009, 09:17:43 AM: 2 blacks?

We are the original design police.

you win.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 13, 2009, 05:36:43 PM: Thank you Somebody.

Here is my 2nd try at a HS.
It is Invertible, got 2 blacks and DSA. Tho I still got a problem with AGOD sh**ting all over me. Is this normal when building HSs? Any tips on how to avoid it? (Paused the game when going in Garage) Or is it only if you try to stack everyting on one component?

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68736Linear%20Actuator%20HS.jpg)

It is a Linear Actuator for those who wonder.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Somebody on May 13, 2009, 05:44:39 PM: Please explain how you are using the linear actuator. (with pics preferably)

Just extend and Retract to put on the HP-ZTeks.
Forgot to crop it :S
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: 40757 on May 13, 2009, 06:04:29 PM: That's actually pretty good. I wonder why I never thought of that.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 13, 2009, 06:52:15 PM: nice you can get rid of the air tank since you don't need it to move the actuator in the bot lab.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 13, 2009, 07:43:04 PM: No, but you do need it to move the actuator in the fight, which I belive is more important.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Sage on May 13, 2009, 08:45:14 PM: Why would you move the actuator in a fight? What does that do?

Sorry for the DP, but you should know this isn't a one snapper pure HS. Put the drive on the snapper, then it will be. It's easy putting 4 motors on one snapper, but then you have to get the drive in there too... and invertibility is much, much harder as well.

In the start of the fight the weapons is on the left of the actuator.

So a Pure HS MUST have the drive HPs on the snapper? It won't make any difference apart from making the drive motors more likeliy to get knocked off (maybe some weight). It will be easy to do (a T-conector on the end of one of the extenders), but I'm not going to do it as it's not working anyways. And that design's only chanse of going invertible is with slims.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Reier on May 14, 2009, 08:23:02 AM: Since when do you have to put the drive on the snapper? I mean that's all I've seen, but just because it's lighter. I think Og's version is quite original by HS standards.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 15, 2009, 06:34:36 PM: Time to showcase my first working HS:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35428Customized%20Coffin.jpg)

I first made it with only one servo piston, but because of AGOD I had to remake it with two. It's not as good as other HS's, but at least it's working (cheers). Not invertible, but I've been able to drive it upside down when it's damaged.
-2 blacks
-DSA
Can't think of anything else useful to say about a HS.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: infiniteinertia on May 16, 2009, 02:22:52 PM: Not bad. Original, but a shame you have to use those actuators to make it original.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Sage on May 16, 2009, 02:36:10 PM: no one ever called nefarious original for using servos.

Nefarious = First true hs with servos.
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Somebody on May 17, 2009, 12:30:18 PM: Stop being a about this just because you dont like it that he built an original bot. Duh nefarious was original. Just because we didnt say it doesnt mean it isnt original.

Post by: Oggie on May 21, 2009, 02:15:23 AM: About time that I showcase my original and my final BBEANS5 entries.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73957Core%20Blow%20v4.jpg)

My original entry. Basically a popup, but it pins the other bot up against a wall while it rip the gut. My second bot after finding this forum, and the first I made that can compete with SCv3. It is based of a MW I made that did good against Stock and SCv1, but failed against v3 (my first bot after this forum).
-3 Blacks
-16 Razor tips
-Selfrights if the plow falls off
-Decent wedge

My final entry:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17962Crawl%20Through%20Knives%20v4.2.jpg)

Kind of a juggler-tank. Well protected, but slow. Started out as a VS, but I didn't like how the weapons fell off so easily agains HSs. Might find a way to use up the last 30 kg in the next version.
-2 Blacks
-Great wedges
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 21, 2009, 03:02:59 AM: LOL. Your popup looks like my popup's big brother.

As for the juggler, I don't know, maybe protect the middle with some razors or spikes?
Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: Oggie on May 21, 2009, 03:13:19 AM: Yeh, it'll probably be protection of some kind. Thinking about a plow on top of the bot under the weapons.

Title: Oggie's showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 21, 2009, 01:54:27 PM: i think two snappers or even just baseplate anchors would be better.

Post by: Naryar on May 21, 2009, 02:18:42 PM: Putting an angled spinner with maces on a snapper would make the thing wobble to heck.
