Phoenyx's Stock Showcase: I prefer DSL, but whatever... Also Psyclone Challenge

the is the fracture hs challenge

I don't know.
Gauche Suede, what do you mean about this "fracture hs challenge"?

Gauche Suede, what do you mean about this "fracture hs challenge"?

I assume this:

It sucks because irons and maces cant undercut like razors and they spin to slow for anything else.

[Mecha]

I've made a bot like that before! :D
(just like it. EXACTLY.)

no, it's the one in fracture's showcase, page 8, but yeah, let's go with that.

[Phoenyx]

I'll take fracture's challenge on, but with a modification. Razors instead of iron spikes, and to make up for the weight a 10kg ballast will be added (if that's an issue...)

Edit: It looks like the wheels are axle loaded...

[Mr. AS]

ballast isnt really good for much other than making a wedge better, and most hs dont have wedges, you'd be better off with a ramming razor/mace/iron instead

you can look at my bot for example:

no axle loading needed, but you have to learn advanced snapper loading(sage has a vid on youtube, search it)

[Phoenyx]

I just built it more or less, and I noticed something. Those iron spikes in the back would be pointless, the spinners already protect the back of the robot.

Also, this thing eats through its battery quickly. It can chew through opponents armour quickly, but it wouldn't last through a protracted battle. I don't think it could last three minutes.

I've already more or less been able to access HAX mode. The glitches come easy once I learn the technique (I've pulled off a lot of harder glitches before - the Super Smash Bros. Melee Black Hole glitch is easy for me)

I did end up just axle loading it, though. I'll show a few pictures once I texture the chassis.

HAX mode isn't a glitch, it's a cheat(that's why you can't use HAX mode on tournaments).

[Phoenyx]

HAX mode isn't a glitch, it's a cheat(that's why you can't use HAX mode on tournaments).

It's still technically a glitch/bug by a software developer's standpoint in that it's an unintended part of gameplay. It's just that it's one of those "breaks the game" glitches like the reverse long jump against stairs in Super Mario 64 or Sky Drop + Gravity in Pokemon Black and White, rather than a balanced glitch that everyone uses like Wavedashing in Super Smash Bros Melee or the good old Axle Loading Glitch.

Still, when did my showcase become a discussion on challenges and glitches?

i don't know, got carried away i guess.

[Phoenyx]

As a joke and to show what not to do when building, I decided to intentionally post the absolute worst bot ever that can actually move.



This is Atomic Pokey Stick, a.k.a. SFTW all over again, but worse.
It is a heavyweight in the 550 kg range (Fail 1) armed with a pokey stick/70 cm pole spike (Fail 2). It has steel armour (Fail 3) and a pair of slims (Fail 4). It also looks ugly as hey (Fail 5).



It has a single pink (Fail 6 & 7) and uses two redbirds for drive power (Fail 8).


Unlike a proper bot, it uses button control instead of analogue (Fail 9), and it even faces backwards at the start of a match (Fail 10). The thing can't even beat Lil' Dog!

Please understand that this bot was built with fail in mind.

It's Big Daddy 2012!!

[Mecha]

It needs RADs then it would be done. :P

[Wacky Bob]

That is amazing! Don't change anything

Enlarge the chassis, downgrade the armor, don't use weapons, use car steering (angled weird), wire it wrong and mess up the paint job more

[Mr. AS]

how does it do against absolute chaos

[Phoenyx]

Actually, I chose Redbirds due to them being more situational than RADs. I find RADS to mainly only be usable for spinning weapons when you can't fit in a Z-Tek.

It's Big Daddy 2012!!

LOL

I don't know. It runs out of battery power before it can do anything, and it's slower than most walking robots.

Chassis is maxed out, I chose steel for the weight, the pokey stick so I can name it Atomic Pokey Stick, a car steering unit would actually make it faster, and I don't know how worse I could make the paint job without exporting. I'll try the whole wiring stuff wrong thing though.

I don't know if you've already done this, but:

Since it's going to be underweight anyway, plastic would just make it weaker. If you want to keep the spike, you could put it inside the chassis or shorten the reach, but I don't know if you want to do that.

[Kossokei]

Still a better love story than twilight.

Plastic would probably land it in the top of the middleweight class, though, meaning that one of the fails would end up being negated.

As for that chassis diagram, I didn't know that was possible.
