"You Spin Me" has a lot of extra weight, add more weapons to your tribars.

Crap. I'm wondering if posting You Spin me and 02 was worth it. Any way, 02 uses two blacks, ones just hiding under the spiners. BTW, has any one done a bot like this before?

And the (almost) useless gut part.

Ive never seen another bot like this on the forms, so I built one. Umm... feed back?

There has been bots like this, but his is very different from those, does not look too effective...
on the topic of uber stacked spinners, have you seen this?

This is my bot, I built it guite a while ago and it has 8 normal z-tecs for weapons and 2 hp z-tecks for drive.

You mean two?

Oh ya, I didn't notice the second one.

What does AT-AR do, would Battleshots help us or is it too complicated for pictures.

R1885 · « **Reply #64 on:** September 20, 2008, 07:28:13 PM »

I built it so that it would tip over and the body is now a weapon. Its hard to drive, and moves slowly. Weapon is so poor thats it just for show. Full body drums are hard to build, but useing DSL parts, I was able to make one that does HUGE damage. However, screen shots do not work for it, so I can't show you it.>_<

Urjak · « **Reply #65 on:** September 20, 2008, 08:09:23 PM »

Use the "F-11" button to take screenshots, then go to the screenshots folder in you RA2 DSL directory and find it. Or, you could just hit print screen button to take a shot.

R1885 · « **Reply #66 on:** September 20, 2008, 09:32:37 PM »

Nope, still got nothing.>_<

Urjak · « **Reply #67 on:** September 20, 2008, 11:04:09 PM »

You must be joking, do you have paint? If so then just hit print screen and then hit "CTRL V" to paste the picture in to paint.

Naryar · « **Reply #68 on:** September 21, 2008, 02:04:46 AM »

Full-body drums have been made before - look at my first bot in my DSL showcase (although that's more of a walker, it has an overhead weapon too), and Venko tried something like that.

Put weapons on your discs, they won't last very long like that.

ShadowArts · « **Reply #69 on:** September 21, 2008, 06:38:55 AM »

Would the chassis get damaged when attacking verticle spinners or rammers? It's like throwing your body at the murderer.

Venko · « **Reply #70 on:** September 21, 2008, 09:57:54 AM »

About the AT-AR see the #283 post from my showcase.
If you want to see a uber stacking HS go to #212 post from my showcase and see the "HW-Uber spin".

R1885 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 22, 2008, 08:07:47 PM »

Well, I give you another "Bot built for stock that kills starcore bots." This one is a pop-up, and althogh its not as desructive as S.A.W., its still a good bot.

As you can see, its waaaaaay over loaded with batts. It has one thing that makes it unique, it can throw bots out of the arena. If you doubt its power, here are some battle shots

And also a shot of its target thrown out.(Lethal Force was dead already, but the shot that killed him tossed him out.)

Feed back is welcomed.

Where to start...
1. Too many batteries
2. Too much open space
3. Bad tires (big targets)
4. Try to lower the top of the bot to five pixels, and put on rubber wheels for minimum ground clearance
5. Bulk up your weapons
6. No pinks on HWs
7. What is the armor

Other than that it is good.:-D

Naryar · « **Reply #73 on:** September 23, 2008, 03:53:55 AM »

ok now my turn. obviously this is your first popup and it needs serious improvement..

-this isn't Tempest Eliminator and is way weaker. i doubt this bot could win against the real TE.

-remove the pinks and two blacks, three blacks are enough. or a minimum of 2 blacks and one nifty.

-i've seen worse, but this chassis could be slightly smaller

-no front wedges, a great flaw for a HW popup

-big ground clearance, same flaw too (shinies or, better, rubber wheels please)

-as said Click, fast popups are 1 million times better than slow ones. use 4WD drive on a HW popup

-lacks front defense.

- you should swap the spike strips on each DDT for two or more razors (use two extenders for it). only 4kg more, same hitpoints (2x500) but 2 times more damaging.

Have a look at Pyscolone's showcase. He's a popup specialist and probably the best popup builder here.

Somebody · « **Reply #74 on:** September 23, 2008, 06:29:38 AM »

Why wouldn't you want a wedge on the front, isn't the point to have them up on the wedge so you can hit their underside?

Naryar · « **Reply #75 on:** September 23, 2008, 06:48:47 AM »

That's what I'm saying. R1885, a wedge to the front (like a flipper, small wedge on extenbder on burst) but not wired to flip) is great for getting under bots.

Have a look at that

and that : http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2stats.htm (component statistics)

In my newbie time, I found that extremely useful.

Same case for Flinger and S.A.W., built for un-moded stock.

ShadowArts · « **Reply #77 on:** September 26, 2008, 03:09:27 PM »

I see you have a nice mixture of batteries there.... ;P

Physics engine question: Would the two reversable angle motors and the Zteks slow eachother down, or does the physics engine add the power from the Black motors to the Zteks?

Naryar · « **Reply #78 on:** September 26, 2008, 04:01:39 PM »

No, I think the RADs do add their power to a Ztek drive train. Tried this (4WD, 2 HPZs and 2 RADs) on two of my bots and it augmented the speed.

R1885 · « **Reply #79 on:** September 26, 2008, 06:58:53 PM »

Like I said, its one of my older robots.
