Well, I'll start my showcase with a new HS I've built. I call it 28, in honour of 21 year old Luc Bourdon who died today. He played defense for the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL.
I'll post innards later, but I'll see it sage can guess this one's setup first.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6706828.JPG)
More bots to come.
-
that depends. how many irons on each? are there 4 or 2 motors?
EDIT: got it. in the small end there is the black batts. the other end has 2 snappers with the axles pointing outwards sideways. the drive is attached directly to the axle of the snapper. there is a 20 cm extender coming off the end of both snappers, which is slightly turned to point the weapon motors downwards. the chassis is perfectly measured so it looks like 2 motors, but its really 4, one on each of each of the attachment points.
Nice setup! a full HS off 2 20cms. i did that with a different setup. you should try attaching the drive to the end of the 20 cm thats coming off the snapper. it will put the drive back more, and less exposed.
that is, if i guessed it right :)
-
4 motors, 9 irons on each, for a total of 36.
-
i got the setup before you posted. am i right?
-
definitely plastic.
Showdown with 28 vs. Absolute Chaos???
-
definitely plastic.
Showdown with 28 vs. Absolute Chaos???
not plastic. it should be possible. you did it right? with category 5?
-
Sage got the setup right, and sadly it is plastic, but DSA will be the next revision. The drive is fairly unstable, so I think I'll use sage's suggestion on the drive placement. And, somehow I think Absolute Chaos might be slightly better designed. I'm also anxious to see this Category 5 that sage has mentioned a couple of times before the old forums got wiped. Thanks for the comments :D
-
DOUBLE POST OH NOES!!!1!
*ahem*
A MW I built a while ago:
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4752.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4752)
DSA, etc...
-
What's this iron spike? A little more defense?
-
It was meant to be like what Starcore's Fury had with the front mace, but it dosen't stick out as muce, so it's kinda inneffective. But anyways, I upgraded 28 so that is's invertible AND has DSA. I'm proud of myself. (There are 4 tribars with 36 spikes there, but they're just disguised as two :P)
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4753.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4753)
Comments? Suggestions?
-
looks like you used my suggestion :)
good idea not angling the tribars. i spose thats so you can make it invertible with the shiny wheels. thats also how you got DSA. Nice Work! That's a great setup.
-
absolute chaos, now. hamachi.
-
Aaaaand, I faced Infinite, and he beat me. Absolute Chaos remaind undefeated...
-
Yo, inf. Anytime this evening. AC vs. Grond, my Little Darling-buster.
-
if sorrow sees this, join the RA2 Global room on hamachi and hit me up
-
I downloaded this hamachi thing and it looks like I need to type the name exactly.....is there a way to search for games?
-
the biggest connect point i created, its called RA2 United password is connectme. It should be pinned somewhere and used by everybody.
-
Why use it in the first place? Does it help connect to the game or help lag?
I see you guy's now.
-
Grond has fallen. AC remains supreme.
-
no, but you can chat with whoevers is online at the time and challenge them trhough hamachi. and there will be no firewall crap, random noobs, and i think there might be a little less lag.
-
Well, because of the maces collision mesh, I upgraded 28 to maces, and it works waaaaaaay better. I've also been fooling around with "freak" bots lately as experiments of sorts. My latest creation is an FBS inspired by the Beetlebros called SlideWynder:
It has:
-chained HPZ weapon drive
-2 black batteries
-DSA
-12 iron spikes
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4769.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4769)
Wheels don't work on these bots, so chewblades etc. are needed. I'm going to change the chewblades to discs with iron spikes for a little more protection.
Aside from the obvious design flaws, and fact that is fairly inneffective against SC, what do you guys think?
-
I'm guessing the "snapshot" in the corner isn't the same bot. Also, what weight class are you going for?
-
The snapshot in the corner is an earlier revision of this bot.
I wasn't really going for any class, but I can trim it down to a MW in about 15 minutes.
-
Damn this looks great. I do want to see how that thing works. Can it move and spin at the same time?
I was planning to build a DSL FBS for BBEANS, but... ahem.
-
Yea, RS. Can you make a small vid so we can see it in action?
I'd like to see how the weapons work; and how it navigates, cause the computer uses the chassis for its heading reference. But it looks like the chassis would be spinning with it's spikes flying...
Cool bot.
-
A VIDEO!
CLICK HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f2IVcRe1Uo)
Sorry for the bad resolution.
Edit: This is the MW verson that I made.
-
Thats actually really cool. How does it do against Starcore? I would think the motors would get chopped off quickly.
-
Yeah, it's not really made to battle SC bots, but it's decent against stock.
I made a new LW too, yay.
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4801.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4801)
Brownie points for you if you guess the setup. If no one gets it, I'll post it.
-
tricky tricky. hmmm. i might have to see another view for this one. i have a few ideas but i need to know how hight the snapper is and such.
-
Ok then, here some are:
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4802.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4802)
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4803.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4803)
-
Great R0B0SH4RK. You puzzled Sage on a HS. lol.
That snapper must be at baseplate level... the controal board stacked somewhere...damn its tricky indeed. I can see how the z-tek is mounted (again excess of snapper loading) and perhaps the plow then, but these right angles... there's certainly not a tri-extender involved... damn.
-
i think i got it. snapper is 2 notches up. there is one extender pointing down off the top attachment point. attached to the bottom of that, an extender points backwards into the snapper. on the front of that extender, the HPz is attached. now there is a 40 cm coming off the "secret" attachment point, which points forward. a T connector is on the top of that, with 20 cms on either side. the 20 cms point up, and the bottom attachment holds the drive motor. the 40 cm had the plow.
i think i got the drive wrong, but even if i did, they would look exactly the same. i tested.
-
Well, you are wrong anout the drive, but you did get the HPZ setup right.
Here's the setup for the drive (4 20cm extenders):
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4804.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4804)
With your setup, I believe it would be overweight.
I forgot to mention earlier that this bot has DSA.
-
Nice one! I thought that was way harder. simple and efficient.
I still dont understand even one bit of snapper loading.
EDIT: but it has a hard time turning, no?
-
Nice bot. Does it woble at all? I would imagine when you lose a mace or something you wouldnt be able to drive.
-
IT'S A WORKING HELICOPTER!! YAYY!!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2771000heli.JPG)
Not a serious bot at all. It uses the trinity glitch and gets up to a high enough speed with the one HPZtek to take flight suprisingly quickly.
IF it hits, it's damaging, but that's very rare.
I like flyers :D
EDIT: I'll post some action/battleshots later today if I get around to it.
-
Interesante<3
-
sweet robots
-
I see now that not only i interested on cool not-effective freaks :D
-
Nice copter you got there :D Does it have nice skin too?
-
you killed cake bot with your copterrrr :[
-
Well, here's a bot that I meant to post a while ago, but never got around to it.
A MW FBS. It's decent against SC bots, and seems to give Scrap Daddy a tough time online :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37493SW2.JPG)
15 razors (including the one in the disc), 2 irons (for stability), DSA, 1 nifty, 2 pinks, HPZ motor.
I'm working on a version of stinger for Inf's pack, and my 3 bots for Gigafrost's pack are nearly complete. I just have to skin them and do a little more tweaking.
I'm going away for a week though, so I won't be able to send anyone anything. I planned to enter the BOTM contest too, but I never got around to it.
Sage (if/when he gets back): Are you going to post the video of SpongeBot vs. the Helicopter? Please do, it was funny.
Cheer for me in BBEANS guys.
-
Looks like storm cloud.
-
Dont worry I have a new girraffe that will rape you. :D
-
Just a little something I've been working on lately. It has 16 Irons, 4WD, DSA, 2 black batteries, castor armour, green snapper wedges, and everything else you can see.
It's main problem is stability, and one of the wheels goes AGOD every now and then. I think it also may be a bit too fast, but I like the concept of it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71704newHWVS.PNG)
I also have a couple of other things on the go lately, including a LW trinity S&S (that dosen't seem to want to trinity glitch), a HW HS/Rammer hybrid, and a variety of LW HS's.
-
what are the two baseplate anchors on he bottom doing?
-
<3
remove the blade and lengthen widen wedges.
but <3.
-
I'm guessing there's 2 sets of blades on the sides for extra extender protection, am i right? (nice idea if that's what it's for)
Edit: i see they're facing the other way now.. the snappers are on them.
-
Sage: They are holding on the green snappers.
Inf: Thanks, and will do.
-
Sage: They are holding on the green snappers.
Inf: Thanks, and will do.
Yea, it was hard to see which way they were facing.
Good bot btw... longer wedges would help, like inf said.
-
Very nice.
-
Haha back from your DSL trip?
Nice VS. I wanna play online sooo bad again. Spongebot, Cakebot, and Zebra want revenge against that crap you call a helicopter and FBS!! :p
-
I play DSL and Stock pretty much equally, but I hit a brick wall in Stock, so basically the only good designs came from DSL for a while there. I'm trying to break my serious builders block.
Oh, and don't worry. Heli and SlideWynder will be updated too, so don't expect any easy matches :P
-
New Pure HS. It's not really anything special, more of a test of that Snapper setup. I like it because it shakes less than most.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19164newpureHS.PNG)
Also, how can Hydro's showcase get 11 pages in 1 day, but mine is still at only 6 :P ?
-
Erm because it is Hydro's showcase... You know, the guy that spams up half the threads on this forum.
-
nice it is better than my single snapper true hs,without the plow that is...
-
Nice setup, RS.
-
It's because Hydro needed critiquing. When your bots don't need help, the amount of posts drastically decrease.
-
If you blur your eyes... it looks like a snowflake.
There... I made my contribution. To eleven pages and beyond!
-
OMG it does (but I had to take my glasses off)
-
You have glasses too! Whoo!
Anyway, what's it called?
-
That's the same setup I used on BEAR and Wormhole(newer one that you fought online way back).
It's probably one of the best setups for a HS due to how stable it is because none of the motors can move outward.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74328vermicide.PNG)
It eats single wedges for breakfast.
-
Hahahaha. Reminded me of Click's flail VS when I saw the wedge arrangement. XD
Does the ice pick help much?
-
<333333333333
-
Our fight should be fun to watch. Nice bot.
-
Looks good, I would keep the wedges straight however because their isn't enough length for it to be THAT effective, battleshots por favor. Also that icepick may b good for protection but might hinder the wedges effectiveness.
-
Weight distro problem.
-
I remember CB or Rojo or someone way back on the old forums (Firebeetle even) said something to the effect of components added after the wheels are added don't affect weight distribution. I'm not sure if this is true or not. Also, the ice pick isn't attached to the wedge and the irons stick out far enough that it dosen't hinder the wedge. I'll get some battleshots and mabye some other stuff up later.
-
Agreeing on the ice-pick-o topic
-
As promised, some battleshots, mainly testing the wedges:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3383vermicidewedgetest.PNG)
-
Gasp! There's empty space!!! And 666 posts! :O
I'm gonna clone that someday. :P
-
117278 ? gj.
EDIT: AAAH pwnator beat me to it for the 666th post.
EDIT2: and you're 222, exactly one third of 666.
-
Well, it's a 117 and a 278 close together. I've never even had a 10k+ hit.
Also, other stuff!
The HW VS I've been working on:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77341HWVSupgrade.PNG)
I gave it longer and wider wedges, fixed the AGOD wheel, and cleaned up some of the extender work. Next, I'll fix the irons so they make contact at the same time.
And an actually well thought out FS, after the Parasite failed (well, by my standards anyways):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63457parasite2.0.PNG)
Enjoy (:

inside pics of the hw vs please
-
Go to page 5 of my showcase. It's the same as it was there.
I might try building Dementia for Inf's pack later today if I get any time, but I doubt I will.
-
SOOOO CLOSE
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22400Ninjarebuild.PNG)
It was going to be my re-build of Ninja for Inf's pack, but I'm about 2 kgs off...
It has DSA, but I don't really want to shed the weight by going to plastic.
-
insted of using a t connector connecting the plow use a black conector. that should bring you into lw.
-
I don't think it will be symmetrical anymore because the plow is also attached.
-
That's actually a pretty good idea, however, try to stack the Anchor in the battery first. I'm pretty sure it can be done.
If R0B0 uses the black extender then it won't drive straight because it's not symmetrical.
-
I rebuilt it and it was a Lw if you want to see.
-
Sure, please post it. What did you do, make the chassis even smaller or use a different extender setup or something else?
-
Instead of making the bot 6 points, make it a box and you will most likely have enough weight.
-
Did you use 2 T connectors like Child's Play 4? If so, I have an idea.
-
Well, I might as well post something not useless today.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36536axleHS.PNG)
Inspired by Pys. All of it is built off of two axles. The setup is pretty simple:
...____
..|......|
.[|...._|] <-- Axles
..|......|
...-----
The extenders that come off of the axles are in the supervolts, and you can pretty much guess how the motors are attached. I haven't tested it yet, but it's damn glitchy in the garage.
Also, I built my BOTM bot. I just have to make a splash and send it in.
-
Is it an SnS?
-
No. It's too havok-y.
-
No. It's too havok-y.
Maybe because your drive is attached to the axles ?
-
Maybe because your drive is attached to the axles ?
Bingo
-
Maybe because your drive is attached to the axles ?
Uhhh... yeah. I know that's the reason why it's havok-y.
-
Ooh. Now I know why. XD
-
Robo, mine uses plastic. If you can send me yours, Ill see what I can do with that.
-
What, my re-make of Ninja? I will, but I'm away from the computer that has RA2 on it. I won't be home until Wednesday-Thursday, so I'll send it then.
-
New bot!
I designed it as a possible entrant into the next round of Inf's tourney, but it's painfully mediocre. It is, however, one of my favourite bots at the moment.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8386ATOPSPINNAH.PNG)
Suprisingly stable and un-havoky. It's biggest weakness is its (lack of) width.
-
gunning at naryar are we?
and yes, wider.
-
Agree with inf, but I like a lot.
I'm trying to figure out how you got your drive on...
-
Agree with inf, but I like a lot.
I'm trying to figure out how you got your drive on...
From the looks of it like you would attach spikes on a 36HS but sideways.
Really I doubt anyone will enter a TS. They are way too hard to make lightweights.
-
gunning at naryar are we?
Why yes, I am. Being 1-4 against him really does not sit well with me, considering that I'm 22-4 against other opposition. 26 people have combined to beat me as many times as Naryar has!
And Scrap is right about how the drive is attached.
-
<3
...JUST KIDDING it sucks
-
I am aware of that...
-
1-hit KO. It took 3 seconds :D
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83610sftwftw.PNG)
-
??
-
wat
Lemme guess, overlapped chewblades?
-
Nope, it's stock full of pistons with razors on them.
-
It's pretty good for using that chassis. It kicked the sh** of Spongebot which obviously shows its effectiveness!
-
Actually Sage, you're wrong :P
I'm not done yet either. My goal is to make it be able to take out some Starcore HW's with it.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83610sftwftw.PNG)
I'm hallucinating again.
-
Oh yeah, what weight class is that in?
-
LW*
*Using the CC antiballast...

Whoa.

-
LOL.
nice robo.
-
Well, I'm heading down to Washington for a week tomorrow (or later today for some of you), so I won't be around until next Saturday at least. So, I'll leave you guys with my Doomed Bots entry and a decent LW HS.
First, my Doomed bots entry. Basically a spin-off of Fury, but with a weaker weapon-breaker, but Redbird drive. I find the stronger drive to be a huge advantage over other HS, and it kills popups quite well too. Called Skrzak. DSA.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91330aMWHS.PNG)
A decent LW HS. Based on Berserker in the RE-Stocked Beta, it's not quite as damaging, but slightly more durable. DSA.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13869aLWHS.PNG)
Thoughts?
-
I never should have entered Doomed Bots, much less with a non-serious entry.
I can't say how you could make it better; I like it, and good luck to you!
-
One of my first HSes looked like your DB entry. I didn't showcase mine because it was too havoky and it isn't invertible. I'm gonna try your setup but with the CB stacked in the black to check if I can swap the razor with a mace.
And is your LW fully invertible? :D
-
I like them both very much, good luck in DB :D.
Noob Question:
What does a weapon-breaker actually do?
-
I dunno about this, but weapon-breaks are the weapons that break the opponent's weapons off if the bots' tribars are locked.
-
ehh gay HS
-
Heheh, you should have fun with Militant in DB. Yes, lame but I haven't built anything. Skrzak looks good.
-
How did you attach the motor in the Berserker look alike?
-
I have a blue snapper mounted sideways with the main attachment point pointing towards the battery. Then I mounted a 20 cm extender and attached the motor to the extender.
-
Well, I'm off for another week, but this time I'm going to have my laptop (without RA2) with me. So, before I leave I built a new bot.
I wasn't expecting much from it, but it's beaten SCv4's Death Trap, Death Warrant, and Fury on the first try (the matches weren't even close). The iron spike does limit it's effectiveness when inverted, but it really helps with trapping and grinding bots when right side up. DSA.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18237radspinner.PNG)
-
Sweet. How does it do against Extreamliner? :D
-
So many people unknowingly using the same strategy of the Dream Team...
But mines better (;... Did you build this after we were talking about red rad RAD spinners!?
-
MINE IS STILL MORE RAD.
He had one earlier with Regular Z-tek drive which imo is fail on this design.
-
i need to build me one of them....
-
As long as you dont RAW2 with it (=
-
A little bump to get my showcase off of page 3...
Some stuff that I've been toying with:
After I lost to FB in BBEANS, I tried to combine R4's destruction with S13's wedges, and this is what I got:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65148r4sequil.PNG)
DSA, 20 razors, 2 black batteries, etc. I haven't really tested it, but DDT wedges should be an upgrade.
My DDT-wedged flipper/popup for RAW 2, Bullet Witch:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49627BulletWitch.PNG)
The idea here was to have a robot capable of beating other wedges, and able to toss spinners OOTA. DSA, 2 blacks, 6 razors.
I wanted to make a Tempus Fugit with DSA, but I haven't had much sucess yet, but here's what turned out of one of my attempts:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48043bearHS.PNG)
If the claws didn't have normals, it would rock. DSA and the rest you can see.
A generic RAD spinner. Nothing special at all, except for the overlapping motors on the front, which is the only reason why it's really worth showcasing.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10315funkystackgenericHS.PNG)
And finally, the LW VS I made for BOTB, The Grudge. It's actually really good against LW dual HS. It only struggles against HS with HPZ weapons. DSA and the like.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10161thegrudge.PNG)
Hopefully I can come up with some more creative stuff soon.
-
eeer wait 2 BLACKS ON YOUR HW POPUP ?????
-
Another battery could probably be added if the chassis is made thinner. And the RAD spinner is kinda cool, I never overlapped static RADs before. XD
-
The popup dosen't need more than two batteries when the matches never last more than 10 seconds :D
-
After I lost to FB in BBEANS, I tried to combine R4's destruction with S13's wedges, and this is what I got:
You forgot the servo pistons.
And didn't R4 already have DDT wedges? I thought it did... maybe it was Snapper 2's.
Well great bots anyways. Bullet Witch looks dangerous; could even give Error (my popup-killing HS) trouble.
And 2 blacks is actually enough to power 4WD and 4 DDT's, if just barely. As long as you don't fire the wedges and weapons at the same time, you're good.
-
I was reminiscing about the old forums today, so I decided to re-build my two best HW's from back then other than R4.
First was Metal Simulacra (original can be seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arR-fmWbjE0)). I haven't tested it yet, but I really like the way it looks. DSA, 2 blacks, and the like.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24660metalsim.PNG)
Next, Karnivore. A Redbird spinner back in the day, I used RAD's on this one for weight and space purposes. DSA, 8 RADs and 2 blacks.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74545karnivore.PNG)
The stock showcase section is really slow these days...
-
The ROBO smiley is turning into a stalker.....hey wait a minute...
-
both really nice looking robots ROBO
that type of wedge connection on the HS looks a bit of a weak point with weapons only spinning on RADs
-
I love Metal Simulacra. It seems like some people still use the tribar's original attachment point. :D
As for Karnivore, I agree with JB on the wedge issue.
-
Yay! My blue extenders!
Anyways, the HS looks a lot like some bot in Inf's Ai pack (ReaXion?)
The VS will wobble. Maces don't work on tribar VS. (Unless yours is somehow different.)
I like the use of DDT wedges for both. Did the idea come from inf's Lightkeeper?
And yes, the stock showcase IS really slow. I'll try and build something tonight.
-
I had an idea! O WAIT it's inf's.
-
I had an idea! O WAIT it's inf's.
I was just wondering. I know a lot of times I build something and didn't someone else built something that was pretty much the same thing.
-
Yay! My blue extenders!

Honestly, I don't know what either of those bot you mentioned are. I'll have a look at them.
Also, I think that it was Click or someone that discovered that if you mount the blue snappers on their bottom attachment point, the stuff attached to them dosen't AGOD, so the VS dosen't wobble at all.
And those are your red extenders that I skinned blue, so they are kinda yours, but not really at the same time. Thanks for forcing them to use a .bmp though.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/TournamentFiles/RobotDesignTournament_3/004.jpg)
Nevermind about the HS.
-
I'm on fire.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77516augur.PNG)
Augur Truth, a FS that was inspired by Lightkeeper. Fairly generic, but I've never had any sucess with FS before this one. Basically the same inner setup as Karnivore.
-
Dammit I was just going to build something like that!!! Except that I was going to make mine more like Sage's Lynx. Oh well :(
-
Dammit, WHY ISN'T YOUR FORMER SHOWCASE ARCHIVED? >:E
Anyway, I don't get how you attached the spinners because I'm seeing extenders tilted 45 degrees. O_O
-
Dammit, WHY ISN'T YOUR FORMER SHOWCASE ARCHIVED? >:E
Anyway, I don't get how you attached the spinners because I'm seeing extenders tilted 45 degrees. O_O
30 and 80 degrees from the horizontal, actually. The spinners are just mounted on those and rotated.
As for my old showcase, I still have all of the pics I posted on the wizforum with the exceptions of the first few bots I showcased. I may post them later, if enough of you would like to see bots from my n00b days.
-
I do!
btw Augur Truth looks good.
-
Is that invertible?
-
It looks like it would be able to scoot around upside down for a while on 2 wheels.
-
Is that invertible?
Nah, I don't think so...
-
That caster placement is so much win I think I just wet myself. :P
Awesome bot.
-
Great bot
-
Very nice.
The razors are horrible placed though. You have the flat side facing out, meaning the scraping and grinding potential is severely reduced. Rotate all the razors 60 degrees (making the point edge stick out).
You'll see a difference in performance. If when you do this, the razors scrape the ground, lower the wedges to lift the bot off the ground a bit. Ever notice how tilted up BBG is? Same concept.
-
^^^
I'm learning. :O
-
I do the same thing with the razors, except I do it so that when bots climb over mine, then I can gut rip it better since the razors point out further.
-
Yay! My blue extenders!
I JUST REALIZED why I thought they were mine.
Watch my Snapper Loading video (the first one) and you'll see that I use them :D
-
Just a little something to breathe some life into here...
I re-vamped Skrzak. I haven't done much testing yet, but this version seems less prone to havoks than the old one, and it also has a ramplate instead of a snowplow in order to return some of the damage that it takes. The bottom pic is just in case you're wondering how the razor is attached:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22376skrzakupdate.png)
Also, my Stock's Revenge entry is just undergoing some final tweaking, so I should have that ready to go soon as well :D
EDIT: Forgot to say, it has DSA, Redbird drive, and is my first bot (ever) to have a c-board stacked in a black :D
-
I love it
looks less like fury and more like your own personal design. ;)
-
Hahaha I remember how you mounted the drive! :P
-
JB: Thanks. I'm also really pleased how it turned out, asthetically speaking. How it does in combat is still up in the air.
Pwn: No you don't :P As far as I know, this is the first time that either myself or anyone else has used this particular setup (well, on a showcased bot anyways).
Keep those comments coming :D
-
?
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4804.jpeg)
That's one of the setups I remember that makes the wheels uneven. :P
-
To do that, I would have had to rotate the snapper 180 degrees and lower it by a notch or two. If I did that, I wouldn't have been able to mount the weapons or the ramplate.
In other words, that's not it :P
-
Nice compact desing, but I figured out the setup!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45779setup2.PNG)
F*** YEAH! 20 seconds in paint!
-
I don't think that's the setup. His drive is uneven and his stuff are centered relative to the chassis. Sage could probably figure it out. XD
-
COOLEST MW HS EVAR
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76438screenshot_111.jpg)
^That's what I came up with. Looking at it it looks right, but I'd have to build it to be sure.
-
Damn you're good. That's right.
I'm finished skinning my Stock's Revenge entry. I might post it, but I'm sending it right now.
-
Hehehe... :D
I like that setup a lot. Weight-effective.
-
I'm on fire.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67226LMF.png)
Stock's Revenge entry, pending Doom's review. I love Paint.net :D
-
looks awesome but the extenders on the arms look a little open
-
DAMN R0B0 for entering a side hammer too, except his is better and is built to the weight limit.
-
rooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbboooooooooooooo
love the HS and LMF
-
Why 6 kg underweight when you can replace 2 razors by irons ?
And i hope there's a R0B0 smiley on the bottom of the bot !
-
OH GOD NO! 6 kg underweight! I'm going to die of robo-anorexia!
And no, no smiley. Sorry.
But seriously, ON. FIRE.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82027mwface.png)
DSA. Only 1 black. I'm happy with this one. The castors prevent it from bouncing around, and the chassis is air tight as your mom.
All I wanted to really do was to make an FS with chassis mounted Redbirds, since you rarely see them due to their odd shape. It's much better than I thought it would be in preliminary testing.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74110truepopup.png)
DSA, 3 blacks, 4 ramplates, 14 DDT razors. The purpose of this one was to make the best wedges I could, so I made a natural popup or a true popup or a real popup or whatever the heck Naryar thinks it is. I hereby will refer to it as simply a popup. The wedges are quite good, consistently sliding under NWB and all other Starcore v4.0 bots. It's damaging too, though not quite as much as R4.
Whatcha guys think?
-
Could you show the way you attached the ramplates to the DDT wedges?
-
They're not attached to the DDT's - they're just on basplate anchors (with a little bit of stacking).
-
I like the 2nd bot, especially the way all of the componets are 'bunched' together, and barely any empty space. (That's my downfall.)
-
I like how that popup looks.
-
Move the CB up to the front of the MW, every weight counts.
The popup's weapons don't stick out far enough, and the razors should be flipped. The wedge looks a little steep and the razors on the top are kinda useless.
-
Funny you should mention the direction of the razors. You see, I've tried Pys' theory of "two faces hitting instead of one," but I think that it's nothing more than wishful thinking. In fact, I've tried switching the direction of the razors on R4 and found that the extenders become much more vulnerable, and in turn, effectiveness plummets.
-
It's not two faces, as the collision is a pyramid, but just more surface area.
-
The FS (Parasite 3.0, I'm guessing?) looks very schweet. Birds are underrated. <3
I'm gonna miss R4's ears, though. Those were quite effective in keeping HSes away from the bot's top. :P
Can it still do OHKOs? :D
-
Don't worry, Pwn. R4 isn't dead, and when I do find a way to improve it, it will still have ears :P
And no, no 1HKO's for this one :(
-
Ahh, showcase. It has been a while...
Nothing major though, just a couple of HS (that I challenge Sage/the rest of you lot to figure out the setups).
First is (another) rebuild of Skrzak. I have a way to make it more compact, but that leaves the HPZ's poking out the front. And this looks cooler. Redbirds, 1 black, DSA, etc.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47869skz3.png)
And a tiny LW HS. I should be able to give it castor armour once I remove all of the extenders needed for axle loading. It will have a nifty, but at this stage it has 2 pinks because I was too lazy to get the nifty + c-board stack. DSA.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45903tinyHS.png)
That's all for now. On to the DSL showcase!
-
this is exactly why I say you need to showcase more :P
-
Oh the ridiculous setups people can come up with. With MW and LW designs there's really no rules to how many extenders you need to use or the 7 limit, so the possibilities are actually more. Plus I dunno if it's one snapper or 2.
Sorry R0B0, I can't do it without a hint :P
-
Alright, the MW has one snapper mounted sideways and the LW has an axle. GO!
Also, only two comments in my stock showcase, but a bunch in DSL? What has the world come to?
And I post bots for the first time in months and my rep drops xD
-
Too bad the LW isn't using HPZ.
Also, I Have an idea for an anti HS device...
-
I've been messing around in the bot lab for a while and, although coming up with some really cool setups, haven't achieved yours. Very nicely done R0B0.
-
Also, only two comments in my stock showcase, but a bunch in DSL? What has the world come to?
sadly it is the movement
heavily becasue there is a severe lack of Stock tournaments right now.. if you cant compete people wont bother building.
still I wuv you R0B0 no matter where you showcase :gawe:
-
I'll shift back to Stock after BTTB 2.
-
I have had an idea for a stock tournament since KOK.. perhaps its time to put it into practice.
also I think the constant evolution of DSL (NarAI) is what is keeping people interested.. really we need to start pushing the stock AI packs people are making further along by helping out..
-
In my opinion stock is kinda dead. It's more or less just a standalone mod now.
-
........severe lack of Stock tournaments.....
Did I hear somebody mention about Doomed Bots 2?
No clues though :yaya)
Wait, hold on, this is a clue.....

SOOOO CLOSE
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22400Ninjarebuild.PNG)
It was going to be my re-build of Ninja for Inf's pack, but I'm about 2 kgs off...
It has DSA, but I don't really want to shed the weight by going to plastic.
HAHA! TAKE THIS WEIGHT LIMIT!!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26383LW8hs.png)
Also, take a look at the sweet positioning of the baseplate anchor.
It even has DSA :D
-
Sweet...
If you can't do a good paint job or can't be bothered, send me it so I can do paint job. But i'm pretty sure someone like you can do a good paintjob anyways. Nice job. :approve:
-
that's a very nice bot robo :)
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54663ninja.PNG)
But yeah, my clone (I can't believe it's more than a year old o_O) wasn't invertible. So good job. :D
-
Great looking bot, R0B0.
-
It has more razors, but less reach than Childs Play IV... I wonder which is better.
And how long did it take you to stack the baseplate anchor, the battery, and the CB like that? I wouldn't have even thought of trying to stack the anchor partially outside the chassis.
-
Not long, actually. I knew you could mount skirt hinges in a similar way in DSL (see the most recent MW popup for an example), so I floated the anchor out and got that almost immediately. Come to think of it, that stack would come in handy for quite a few bots I've tried to build in the past.
-
This design is quite vulnerable to wedges due to its short reach. I'd still prefer CP4's setup, but this looks cooler. XD
-
Head-to-head and against most other spinners, I think mine is better. But, as you pointed out Pwn, T-rex like stubby arms make battling wedges a chore.
Childsplay also has a longer battery life, if I'm not mistaken.
-
(out from the shadows)...*thumbs up*
-
:D
Hai
anyway nice bot, I gotta go clone it :mrgreen:
-
Im magical.. just as I wished Infy would come back...
now you need to start an "Im Back" topic.. its the latest craze, followed by an "Im Leaving" topic, then a "Nah I will Stay" topic
-
:D INF IS BACK!
-
*general applause for Inf* =]

yes im back... some of you know/will know my story, but im back and im taking it slow for now

ABOUT DAMN TIME. :]

Inf is back! :O
Good to see ya back. :D

yeah, reaaaaaaaaaaaal good

Yo inf whats up. Been a while.
I bet you still hate me. But the worst part is...
My bots are pretty good now :O

Same here, right?............right?
-
[Sarcasm Mode Engaged] Yes, Sparkey is absolutely correct.
I call DSL AC. =P

Well, the last three had decent armour, built to the weight limit, ect.

True, you are steadily improving. But it's nothing really brilliant, to be honest. You're doing most things right now, though.

NOT YOUR SHOWCASE. Back on topic to the off-topicness. Inf!
-
I like Redbirds :D
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23771RBfacespinner.png)
DSA, 2 blacks, one snapper. I have to switch to grannies because the really low ground clearance causes fishtailing, but I'll just take off the razors and add two irons or maces and switch the wheels. Problem is I have to disassemble the entire setup to do it xD
Thoughts?
-
Build more. <3
-
I agree, Birds need to be used more. I'll whip something up this weekend using them somehow :)
Looks great R0B0. Looks like everything could be a little more forward (the chassis is sticking out in the front). Perhaps turn the black sideways and move the snapper up a bit?
-
back to redbirds like the good ol' days in the TTC tourney? :)
looks fantastic btw.
-
Yeah, those were goooood times. Thanks for the praise guys :D
@Sage: Didn't even think of that. I'll try that when I put on grannies, because I'll pretty much need to rebuild it anyway.
[hint]But I really wish more people commented in the sstock showcase...[/hint]

Yep. Would also widen the wedges a bit, which is *almost* always good.
-
GOD THAT LOOKS AWESOME
all caps aside, that is a really cool-looking IMO.
-
Spectacular work Robo.
You are insanely talented at building bots!
-
Cute little FS there. For some reason it reminds me of a rabbit. (I think it's the top stopper razors that look like ears). Could be some kind of vicious killer rabbit.
-
Looks good, but I'm very skeptic about the FS design being "RPB-Effective" in such a compact format. Tests would absolutely prove me wrong though. The aesthetics, however, are on 100%

I built it under the assumption that DDT's > Snappers so it should beat RPB, but chronic drive problems haven't allowed me to test extensively so I can't say for certain. If I ever get around to making the next revision, I have a setup that will widen the reach and fix the drive. For now though, I've lost interest in tweaking this one so I'm on to new designs.

It would probably be better if you extended your outer weapons outwards by 20cm.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70886rabbit.PNG)
I was going to go to town and make it pink and fluffy but couldnt be bothered.. maybe later
-
From Click's analogy, R4 might look like a bunny as well. >.<
-
BUNNY... HUNGERS...
-
ZOMG BUNNEH BAWT.
It looks great R0B0.
-
Robo, I would just extend the drive farther back - kinda like you have in the one internal picture. I would also advise you to widen the DDTs 20cm further. This should help stability and also against wide&wedgy bots.
-
Well, I switched to Grannies, moved the weapons forward and widened the wedges. I'm REALLY lovin' this new anchor stack :D
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10618omggutripper.png)
And I made an SnS too. DSA, 2 Pinks. That anchor placement is awesome.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52625omgsns.png)
SECONDS FROM NOW SCRAP DADDY SAID HE WILL POST. HOURS FROM NOW I EXPECT THE SAME FROM THE REST OF YOU :O
EDIT: It appears Scrap has told a lie, that FEELTHEEY liar >:O

I feel like the first one would be a real pain to keep going straight. Looks great though.
-
You should make a black granny skin for awesomeness. And it doesn't look like a bunny anymore. I haz a sad. :(
Lovin' the SnS, though. Still couldn't figure out how you managed to attach maces at the end with razors just beside it. I was never able to do that on a static setup. o_O

Great bots, R0B0. How did you manage to place the anchors like that? o_O
How good are the bunny's bot's wedges?
-
For some reason I can't get my anchors to stack like that. oh well. I still think you should move the drive backwards, but it looks awesome. SnS it sweet too. Pinks enough power?
-

Just rotate the maces 3 notches to the right and the razors should attach if you rotate them just a bit.
To atttach the anchors, it only really works when raised one notch up and usually at an angle. I find it easiest to get when not using the zoom glitch, just rotating the chassis and floating the anchor.
And the wedges on the first one are pretty good actually. In the first round of tests, NWB was no problem.
Keep those comments coming :D
-
HAHAHAH I FEEL ASLEEP ON MY COUCH.
AND 3 HOURS AHEAD?...WHY WERE YOU UP 5 IN THE MORNING PLAYING RA2?!!??
AND SWEET BOTS, MAN. BOTH BOTS ARE SEXY BUT GRANNIES ARE NOT (i mean the wheels, lol).
AND NEAT ANCHOR STACKING. IVE HAD THE HAPPEN BEFORE BUT NEVER TRIED TO MAKE IT BE DONE EFFECTIVELY.

YOU'RE THREE HOURS AHEAD NOT ME. IT WAS ONLY 11 HERE.

I LIKE THAT BOT
IT'S COOL
I LIKE HOW THE DDT SIDES LOOK LIKE 6TH WHEELS
NIFTY
BUT REALLY, IT'S COOL, I THINK I'M GONNA TRY TO CLONE THE SNAPPER SETUP.
-
^ no, just no. Although I DARE you to try and clone the FS. :P
-
Well, I could try. Snaper setups are the one things I have problems with.
-
Well guys, I'm off on vacation for nine days tomorrow so no more bots for a bit. I'll have my laptop with me, so I'll still be kicking around the forums periodically.
To California!! :D
-
New bot. Slightly exostacked anchors, DSA. It's invertible too. I'd always assumed that the maces large collision meshes made invertibility on HS impossible, but it turns out I was just doing it wrong.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27415newmwsns.png)
I have 18 kg left and no idea what to do with it. Thoughts?
-
Do the wheels in stock all have the same HP?
-
Yes.
-
There goes my idea.
-
IIRC all the stock wheels have same stats (excepted for weight of course)
-
If you were to swap a mace on one of the tribars for two razors, that'd eat up 12 kg...
-
All the stock wheels have 1 grip and 400HP (the default for wheels). The only difference, besides the obvious size and weight, is that shinies and minis don't have .2 resistance (they have .12 and .1).
I would upgrade the wheels with the extra weight. If resistance is related to turning (as stated on the beetlebros site) then having nearly anything else would be beneficial.
-

That should be tested... hmm... i can do it !
-
Well, while you do that Nary, I built a VS. It's the new cool thing to do!
DSA, 2 blacks, 8 static razors, 12 irons, 10 blades for stability and armour. The most stable VS I've made to date. It also looked cool enough for me to name it :D
Presenting Wyvern:

Awesome bot. Love the idea of blades for stability. Does it pick up wedges well?
-
Well, I don't understand how Pwnator's VS is 2 kg heavier, yet I fit 9 kg more weapons and had the same of everything else...
Anyways, I made a LW to go with Wyvern. DSA, Nifty, etc. And sorry Sage, my splash skills are extremely limited :(

I knew I could count on you to say the right thing... YOUR WORDS MAKE ME SO HAPPY.
...wat?
Also, you need to build moar Stock d00d. Mabye you should get a new, shiny laptop or something...
-
pwn's weighs more cause i think he has bigger chassis cause im pretty sure he has his drive inside the chassis, not outside like yours. looks nice, i love the multi paint scheme going on there
-
awful.. simply awful
*psst* im lying so he will stop making us all look bad.
-
Building LWs like this takes almost as much thinking as a complicated HW HS. For me at least xD
Very nice!
-
I think you guys are gonna like this one. I liked the VS so much, I made a MW to finish off the Wyvern series.
DSA, 1 black, and a ton of Trov glitching:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68459howissuchathingpossible.png)
The only downside is that it only works on low resolution (or the game crashes - a side effect of the Trov glitch), so it's not very shiny.
Whatcha guys think?
-
What's the shape of the chassis before you glitched it? o_o
Also, I'm worried about the length of the stabilizers. It looks prone to tipping over to the front when it lands a hit.
-
cool chassis use but probably my least favorite of the 3.. it doesnt have static weapons at the front like the others D:
-
@ Pwnator: The chassis was roughly like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67809trovVSchassis.png)
Now try to klone it :P
@ Joe: Awww you make me sad T^T
I wanted to stick some razors or something on, but I just ran out of weight... I may try switching up some things (like the stabilizer setup) and see what comes out. I'm done for tonight though. 11:30 is past my bedtime :O
-
<333333 the Wyvern series; especially the middleweight. :)
I can't really think of any advice apart from trying to get some static weapons on the middleweight.
*Goes to clone* :P
-
Can't you use an iron or something rather than a single normal blade ?
-
Actually robo, if you switch it to low rez, then quit your game, then go back in, it will LOOK high res but still technically be low res and the trov glitch will work ;)
I presume you used the trov glitch and then moved the points around afterwards. Love the creativity.

Does that ACTUALLY save weight?
Or is it some random issue with the low-res gimmick?
Either way, its an interesting use of that glitch.
-
Yes, it does save weight in the sense that you dont have the faces on the top or bottom.
-
Cool design. As mentioned previously, it looks like it would fall over as soon as it makes contact with the opponent. If this is a problem, I would try downgrading the weapon motors (not sure how much this would help) and adding some castor armor to the paper thin wall (in the hopes of it doing better against HSers). Does the bot remain stable after one of the blades fall off?
Your starting to become one of my favorite builders here. Not only did you use my glitch but a majority of your recent bots have been original/innovative in some way.
-
@Sage: That solution to the res problem doesn't work for me for whatever reason. Oh well.
And I fixed the stability problems and added razors and some castors :D

I watched a Youtube vid this morning of some guy bragging about owning EMERGENCY in 20 seconds using custom components, then I read the comments and lol'ed at Sparkey flaming him xD
So, since I got a shiny new version of Fraps (that works this time), I decided to make a vid of one of my best HW's owning EMERGENCY.

Also, for some reason, my computer dosen't have Windows movie maker :| Are there any free videoediting programs out there that you guys would recommend?

You windows 7?

Why yes I am.

Windows Movie Maker doesn't come with Windows 7. There's some replacement that you can download.
-
Windows 7 has windows live movie maker, which is a peace of crap. Download WAX. It's a good free editing program.

Windows 7 has windows live movie maker, which is a peace of crap. Download WAX. It's a good free editing program.

WAX > any version movie maker. But the Vista version (Movie maker 6.0) is the best of the movie makers.
-
its pretty much...
pretending MS paint is a video editing program > windows movie maker

I could go on ranting forever about WMM. My first year or so on the internet were spent with Halo PC modders, so I had a lot of run-ins with that godforsaken program.
I just use Camtasia Sudio now (for lack of a better program). I think I'll have look into that WAX thing.

The vista version is actually quite good. Especially if you download the custom effects for it. I made the bbeans tribute video with it, and other such things.
-
Back on topic please.

Well hai guise. I haven't posted since the 8th :|
University will do that I guess. I've lurked a little here and there, and I got a couple of (generic) things built today. Yay.
Pretty generic drum. Not great against HS (really exposed sides and extenders, I know), but DDT wedges make it a threat to other gut rippers. DSA, 2 blacks, 24 razors.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78615generic%20drum.png)
And a pretty generic popup. DSA, 2 blacks, and six shiny ramplates and silver extenders :O
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10752generic%20popup.png)
EDIT: I just realized that I forgot to re-invert this image. The weight says 796.2 kg :P
I have no idea when I'll have enough time to post regularily again, but hopefully it won't be too long.
Comment away!
-
Drum is eye candy =D
Silver extenders kinda look like aluminum extenders, but still kewl. XD
And the popup's not that generic. :P
-
Drum... you sure you shouldn't invert the position of the wedge DDTs and the first pair of drive HPZs ? Will save some weight
-
What can he do with 14kgs free? Blades won't help here since the wedge extenders aren't exposed.
-
What can he do with 14kgs free?
MOAR RAZORS, or longer wedges
Anyways, you can also use 20cm rounds rather than T-extenders for the drums. I think.
-
I like the DS. One of the more realistic stock bots ;)
-
I've wanted to build a drum like that for a long time, actually. You just figured out a better setup than I ever could.
-
T connectors make me sad :(
But all look good. Why ze empty space on the popup?
-
Pwn - Where do you get 14 kg from? Both weigh ~796 kg.
Sage - T connectors were the first things that came to mind for that setup. I could easily axle load the discs and use 20 cm extenders now that I've thought about it, but I'll do that when I have more time. And there's really barely any empty space on the popup :3
-
Pwn - Where do you get 14 kg from? Both weigh ~796 kg.
For the popup, you could stack the batteries and shrink the chassis a bit, but IDK.
-
Pwn - Where do you get 14 kg from? Both weigh ~796 kg.
My bad. I meant 12kg.
If you swap the positions of the front drive and the wedge DDTs, you save 40cm of extender work each, resulting it 8kgs lost. With 3.9kgs (just round it up to 4 ahahaha) initially free, you now have 12 kg free weight.
-
Well hai guise. I haven't posted since the 8th :|
University will do that I guess. I've lurked a little here and there, and I got a couple of (generic) things built today. Yay.
I just thought today, "Hey R0B0 hasn't posted in a while, I wonder where he is." And here you are.
Great bots, I like the realistic design of the drum (especially the wheel setup), and the popup looks cool because of the ramplate skin.
-
Well I saw Pwn was trying to build a MW VS. So I got off my ass (well, not really...) and built one because he has NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING.
Actually, I basically just re-worked the chassis of my last MW VS and modified the setup. Oh and I skinned it too.
Presenting Lodbrok:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93482lodbrok.png)
I'm thinking of making a version with chained HPZ's since the redbird-HPZ combo isn't quite as powerful as I'd like.
-
Why is nobody posting It's awesome already ?
Oh wait, R0B0 just posted it :P
-
<333
-
Nice, but i'd prefer it to have HPZ Zteks for drive. Perhaps make the back part of that chassis smaller, and squeeze those 2 baseplate connectors into eachother?
-

HPz for drive would be ridiculous FOTEPX.
-
Nice, but i'd prefer it to have HPZ Zteks for drive. Perhaps make the back part of that chassis smaller, and squeeze those 2 baseplate connectors into eachother?
It's a MW, and doing that seems like it wouldn't do much except make it less stable.
Anyway, great to see you post a bot,it's indeed awesome as expected.
-
Holy crap Nary, that only took 75 seconds :O
FOTEPX - HPZ drive may be nice, but the chained motor setup tends to flex a lot when turning, so HPZs for drive would probably destabilize it too much. Also, while making the back part of the chassis smaller sounds good in theory, do you have any idea how much of a pain it is working with Trov'd chassis like that? Doing what you're suggesting is nearly impossible.
EDIT: Wow guys, 6 replies in 5 minutes :O
That's gotta be some sort of Stock showcase record.
-
It's great to see you back, R0B0. The bot looks awesome, too. ;)
Have you tested it yet?
-
Ok this is now my favorite stock MW VS ever....maybe even stock MW
-
Nice, but i'd prefer it to have HPZ Zteks for drive. Perhaps make the back part of that chassis smaller, and squeeze those 2 baseplate connectors into eachother?

Oh you.
-
This is how much people love you. :P
-
This is how much people love you. :P
But seriously, we were all facepalming at that one quote.
-
As I said, I made a version of Lodbrok with chained HPZ's.
Helicoprion:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75638helicoprion.png)
It doesn't have the castors or extra spikes like Lodbrok, making the HPZ's and undersides more vulnerable. But it can throw stuff aroung like nobody's business, so it accomplished what I wanted.
Whatcha guys think?
-
Woah...
How did you get the chassis so thin?
-
Trov glitch.
And yeah, I'm too lazy to glitch my chassis because I have an exam coming up and I just want to get it out of my head. :P
Can it self-right with a disc that small?
-
I dislike Stock. I love these bots. Almost inspiring - if I knew how to do the damn glitches :P
-
Only thing I don't like about the Trov glitch is the playability of it
Though Click found a way to resolve the issue without actually lowering graphics quality..
Nice VS robo, it looks like it would be more prone to forward tipping then Pwn's though.. just have a robot rush into it with a little force..

EDIT: No, we were brainstorming ideas on AIM. Inf had to leave, and that night I built the first AC (i put a pic up somewhere in my showcase). Inf had come to the same design during school or something, and built the AC we all love the next day (mine was just a box chassis... he made it airtight). Technically we collaborated on it.
-
Oh, thanks for clearing that up, I was always a bit confused with how AC was born.

Sage concepted it, Inf improved it..... Then Clickbeetle somehow discovered it first for no correctly explored reason other then the fact he is Clickbeetle :P

That's right!
I also built the first popup in case you didn't know. And I discovered the eFFe glitch. (Then why is it called the eFFe glitch? SILENCE FOOL, YOU KNOW NOTHING.) :P
Anyways, back on topic--the VS looks awesome, R0B0. Is there any way you could tilt the chassis further upwards and get a bigger disc? Chained VS work best with big discs.
-
Probably, but then weight quickly becomes an issue. I guess I could downgrade to Redbirds for drive and see how much weight that gives me. I'll give it a shot.
-
New bot? New bot.
I was toying around with ideas for a new Ripblade for ReStocked (granted, I haven't been following the progress of the pack so I have no idea if Sage and co. already have it covered), and I came up with something that I don't actually think would be a suitable replacement, but is cool nonetheless:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8669invertibleVS.png)
DSA, completely invertible, could be MW if it wasn't an orgy of inefficient extender work. To get it down to a MW, I'll just switch the two side t-connectors to 20cm extenders, which will save me about 6(?)kg.
Hopefully I can have more stuff to post soon enough.
-
that's sick! I think we do have a Ripblade, but this one certainly is cool as well. I'll talk to scrap about it.
-
looks cool and yes we need to finish up restocked
-
Amazing. <3
-
Looks fantastic. You could taper the front end of the chassis (I think) to save a possible .2kg, the SnapperII's narrower than the Blackvolt. If the extender work is lightened, maybe you could have 8 irons on there. =]
-
Awesome bot!
-
Trov said this:
All the stock wheels have 1 grip and 400HP (the default for wheels). The only difference, besides the obvious size and weight, is that shinies and minis don't have .2 resistance (they have .12 and .1).
If resistance is related to turning (as stated on the beetlebros site) then having nearly anything else would be beneficial.
So, I modified an old SnS into this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56674antiHSlwSnS.png)
Basically, the upward angled Irons make it a Tempus Fugit-style HS killer. In fact, it beat TF 7/8 times testing. Lack of razors means that it occasionally struggles against wedges though, as it tends to bounce off. As for the Buzzard wheels, yes they do seem to make a difference in turn speed. It at least looks like it spins faster than it's previous incarnation.
You guys think that Buzzards/Grannies could become more common on SnS, where turnspeed is critical if resistance is related to turning?
-
Buzzards :o
The VS looks cool.
-
I think there needs to be more testing on resistance. Also, Buzzards need a black skin.
-
It could be. I might look into that at some point.
Perhaps if the lower Iron was replaced with a razor, would that help at all? If the chassis was trimmed down a touch, you might get two irons and two razors on each arm, along with the mace at the end.
-
Resistance doesn't have anything to do with turn speed. It's more like how much the wheel slides. A low resistance means the wheel will 'slide' a lot... think drifting in a car. A wheel with high resistance means the turning will be crisper and more precise. Speed doesn't factor into it.
What this means for SnS is, if you have wheels with higher resistance, the bot will tend to stay in one place more and not drift across the arena. Could be a good thing if you want to avoid hazards, but could be a bad thing if you want to avoid immobility.
-
MW juggler, nothing too spectacular. Might be an entry into RoboLeague. Possibly along with a Skrzak update too.

-
Am I the only one here who has no clue what Bounty-Hunter syndrome is exactly?
-
Am I the only one here who has no clue what Bounty-Hunter syndrome is exactly?
Really no one knows about it except NFX, and it's when Snapper II wedges suck because they have a bunch of stuff attached to the secret attachment point.
-
Am I the only one here who has no clue what Bounty-Hunter syndrome is exactly?
From what I've heard it's attaching your dive to the hidden attachment point on the Snapper II and causing poor wedges.
NINJA^
-
attached to the secret attachment point.
Doesn't it have 3 attachment points, though?
-
attached to the secret attachment point.
Doesn't it have 3 attachment points, though?
Yeah but only one of the secret ones can be used per Snapper II.
-
attached to the secret attachment point.
Doesn't it have 3 attachment points, though?
Well yea, it has to attach to the chassis somehow!
-
d'awww its cute :3
-
Am I the only one here who has no clue what Bounty-Hunter syndrome is exactly?
It's like what Bounty Hunter had in BBEANS 5, where you attach a nice extender setup, with drive, weaponry, etc. on the secret AP of the SnapperII, and using the normal AP to create a wedge from. Because the wedges are effectively static in comparison to the drive motors and such, they're not actually very good, as opposed to if they'd been used solely for wedges, where they may have been somewhat okay. Bounty Hunter Syndrome's just what I call it, it's easier than having to explain it every time.
-
d'awww its cute :3
^QFT^
Awesome, AWESOME bot.
-
Beautiful
-
Nothing too special, just another MW VS.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45204anewvs.png)
DSA, 100cm discs, the works. Setup is pretty simple, just 3 20cms and a 40cm extender. Turning actually isn't a big problem, despite the near-vertical chassis.
Comments?
-
<3 (HAHA Beat you GK!)
-
Aww, it's cute...
and BADASS.
I'd probably move the caster down though.
-
The maces at the back look a little bit pointless to me. I might swap them for razors, and get a second caster on the underside.
-
The maces protect the setup that holds on the blades. Without that apparatus, the bot falls over.
-
How would they hold up with razorz instead of the maces?
That way you can get the second lower castor on.
-
<3 (HAHA Beat you GK!)
I wouldn't have said it about that bot. (No offense R0B0)
-
Looks awesome, but fragile. As soon as one of those blades breaks you're toast, and the Redbirds also look quite exposed. Nothing you can do about it though without sacrificing weapon weight.
-
If an opponent gets you around the back, you're probably going to lose a wheel or something, though...I really would consider switching the maces to razors to get a second caster, if you only need to hold off the opponent to get back around to face them with the weaponry.
-
Another VS, this one a little different:

Two stacked niftys, everything else is visible. I want to enter it into RoboLeague, but Vertigo won't let me :/

COOL BOT R0B0
-
Birds seem a bit slow for a VS :/

Whoa that is awesome. I've never seen that done in stock.
Can you raise the caster a bit more to protect the Redbirds?
Why can't you enter it in RoboLeague? Already have a spinner?

I HAVE THINGS TO POST *SHOCK/HORROR*
First off, a little RPB-style FS with a little bit of a twist. I wanted to make the top trapper to be invincible, but unfortunately this came at the expense of nearly everything else being very un-invincible. Sometimes falls the wrong way to start the match, and I'm sure that it could be executed much better (different chassis setup, etc.). As it is, it's more or less a concept.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82165vertFS.png)
ReStocked stuff? ReStocked stuff. (Maybe. We'll see).
Lug Nut! Smaller chassis*! Cleaner*! Invertible!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37265LugNut.png)
Core Drill! Coal Miner! Wedgier*! Stabler*! Dangerousier*! Totally-not-Pwn's-bot-ier!
Now with SageGuardTM wedge protectors!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43266CoalMiner.png)
* = Compared to Restocked beta release.
Possibly coming to a ReStocked AI pack near you! (As soon as SAGE OKAYS THEM. WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN YESTERDAY IF HE CAME ON AIM.)
ReStocked coming... ...eventually!(?)
-
Can I see battleshots of Coal Miner? I wonder if the trapping swords really does the job. Lugnut is good. Strange FS is good too, but I reckon it has troubles turning.
-
The wheels on the sns look a bit exposed. And is it necessary for it to have slippers as opposed to shiners? Could give extra weight to move the weapon motors closer to the drive a bit.
If you rotate the swords on the last bot 180ish degrees won't it trap and control enemies better? Or would it prevent the redbirds from getting anything?
BTW: is this Inf's restock?
-

Wheels are fine where they are. Also, the Rubber wheels make it invertible. Not sure if it would be so with Shinies.
Rotating the swords wouldn't do anything really, but swords do have normals so rotating them would take away any damage potential.
And as far as I've been told, Inf passed ReStocked on to Sage when he left so it could get released and so he could focus on his Inf AI pack. Lately, Sage, Scrap and I have been working on the AI (with some contributions from Pwnator too).
Only 4 comments guys? Laaaaaaaaaame. I know you can do better than that, GTMs!

In testing, it easily outwedges RPB in both the Combat Arena and the Metal Skull arena, even with E-wedges. Oh, and when building this bot, I finally figured out how to eFFe with pistons like a pro. It only took me 5 years :P

Now if you skinned the wedges....
-
I HAD A BOT JUST LIKE THAT BUT I CAN'T GET MINE TO WORK >:E
I had mine in between the chassis so the bot was too long, so yeah. XD
-
What part of it doesn't work? Wedges? Weapons?
Also, I wasted about 4 hours of my life yesterday on your Tumblr :3
U so crazy.
-
Weapons. Mine wasn't angled enough and the only way to make it work is to make the chassis taller, which resulted in tons of wasted weight. Never thought of placing the pistons on top instead. XD
Also,
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GLUE FACTORY
name win
Anyways, it looks pretty good. You're gonna get stuck on the ramps of the arena though.
If MNB changes your skin however...
-
I've done a lot of testing in that arena, and I'm more worried about it being too fast and wedgey and driving itself into the pit. I don't think it's ever got stuck on the ramps...
-
That's weird, especially with these small wheels...
-
SYD plows aren't allowed. :trollface
jk. Bot looks good; I hope I can outwedge it.
-
Wow 180+ day bump. I've been dragging my feet for a while :O
Anyways, I saw this post:
I had enough weight for all irons, Sage.
*picture of a LW HS*
248.9, same as last time, just missing the razor on the front, and with Z-Teks and Irons instead of HPZ's and razors. Sort of a LW Paramecium. Tried the motors to help turning thing, and it appears to have worked.
Being the arrogant and competitive jerk that I am, I thought to myself, "NFX built that. I'm better than NFX. THEREFORE I MUST ASSERT MY DOMINANCE." Or something close to that. So then I did this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16587hsthing.png)
DSA, nifty, 6 irons, etc. So I'm like "aaawwwww yeah." But then:

I don't think there's any other component that would make the meshes this glitched out. :P
So true. I've never had a successful axle mount bot if the weight on the axle is not vertical and completely even on both sides.
-
I think I have a design or two that would accomplish balance, but they would both add more than 2kg to the bot, which are 2kg I simply don't have.
Maybe I'll try 3 razors and 3 irons rather than just 6 irons.
-
I lol'd. =D
Looks like a pretty good build, though, nothing's really sticking out much. I'm guessing you used vertical 20cms rather than horizontal ones. What I might do, though, is try and get the motors a bit more protected, they fell off quite a lot when I was testing my design.

WHHHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Okay, lets do this one by one :
HELLION
This thing is just......
WARSHIP
Why did you need the caster behind the snowplow for ? And i think if you use 2 extenders instead of T connectors and ditch the caster, maybe you can upgrade to HPZ, but rule-of-seven might be in the way.
TARPIT CARNIVORE
1.How did you manage to put 2 HPZs at the exact same place ?
2.Good job man.
-
for warship, if you offset the snapper a little and use 20cms for "T" connectors instead of actual t connectors and get rid of the caster you can def get HPZs for drive. Otherwise everything else looks snazzy as heck
-
ZOMG IT'S R0B0
Everything looks awesome. Welcome back man. :D
-
R0B0 <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
they all look sexy, just like you
-
the lw and mw's extender work could probably be cleaned.
a T conn. with 2 round extenders attached by the side could probably work. on the mw have the round extenders facing backward and 2 sideways rounds connected to the frontmost part of the rounds on the T
but apart from that theyre pretty niiice, i remember having a bot like hellion. except mine had 2 razors instead of the plow and DSA.
(dumb word filter, censoring my hells.)
-
they all look sexy, just like you
?????
Anyway, Welcome Back R0B0! glad to see you back. and those bots are sweet.
-
I think you left before I arrived I don't remember you posting anyway.
Welcome back however, I like the new robots. Warship and Tarpit Carnivore I've taken a fancy to.
-
cool bots. welcome back
-
Welcome back, R0B0. I really like the look of Warship and Tarpit Carnivore, but I think the extender work could be tidied up on Hellion a little. Also, why the caster behind the plow on Warship? Is it supposed to protect the weapon extenders should the plow get taken off?
-
What I wanted to say has already been said. Ah well, welcome back R0B0! These robots are excellent as always.
-
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
The caster on Warship was because I had some weight left and I couldn't be bothered to re-snapper load everything to put on either HPZs or something else. I could be bothered this morning though and I added a weapon breaking razor instead. Design doesn't need HPZs. I think I could trim the chassis a little and swap the razor for a mace, but that required an entire rebuild and I just ain't feelin' it.
Also, I find it funny that the most common criticism of Hellion is that the extender work is messy when there's only one 20cm extender visible. Hellion's probably the best of the three as well. It pretty consistently chews up SCv4 Tempus Fugit and Childs Play.
Doing a full rebuild of Tarpit Carnivore. God damn AGOD (have we found a permanent cure for this yet? I *have* been away for a year).

Woooooooooooooo.

Very nicely done. I love your new splash style too.
-
i can see you still got your 1337 robot building skillz
very nice bots to look at
-
Ha, thanks. I thought I'd be rustier. Surprised I still had snapper loading skills.
Sage - Thanks man. Think you need to update your avatar though. You have to have graduated by now.

its not a skill you lose. I could still build my one axle 36HS, ever though that was like 2 years ago.
