Well, I guess that its time for my showcase. The bot here was my frist bot, and so, it sucks to heck. Any way, heres Ramzone:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23559screenshot_235.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23559screenshot_235.JPG) (http://[IMG)
This bot has been retired, so try to tell me improvements.
Feedback welcomed.
-
..... One spike?
-
1. Inside pic
2. What armor
3. If it is retired please show us good ones
4. All I can say with this pic is that you should build to the whole MW weight limit, or make it a LW with Shiny Hub wheels.

Here you go! The armor is aluminum. And I will post better bots.
EDIT: And now I give you, the smallest bot ever!

people can make bots smaller plus have weapons to be under 75kg or 50kg (can't remember which one is antweight)
-
Only one thing to say:
OMG!!!
-
If I recall: ACAMS created the smallest robot. He showcased it against SirK...

Well, I did not know that smaller bots exsist.(Until now.) But heres one of my newer ones, Nastys Return.

Btw venko, what were you saying omg to? Ramzone or Mron?
-
not bad! you are getting better. you dont need 3 blacks for the drive. try getting rid of one, and using the extra weight for something else, like more weps, a wedge, etc.
-
Will do!

TWO POSTS!!! Well you wanted it, and I give it to you!

A new row of spikes! However, armor has a downgrade to plastic.:( Still has the bite to match. Plus a joke bot
Batman on drugs:

Batman on drugs was made purely for fun.
P.S:don't kill me goose!
-
Batman on drugs: one word: WTF?
Nastyer's Return: Pretty nice. You shouldn't use plastic on that one or it'll get RAPED if it comes against a popup.
And you should consider putting weapons on the end of these weapon rows, perpendicular to the others. Look at my rammer/hammer bots. It would add some side defense, because if you get flanked, these wheels are doomed.
-
I could not resitst Batman on drugs.:-D DSA is too heavy for Nastyer's re turn, and no wight left to mount side spikes.
-
Nasty's Return and sequal-Getting Better
How did that tiny bot have the Control Board on the outside
Ramzone=Total Suckosity.
-
I could not resitst Batman on drugs.:-D DSA is too heavy for Nastyer's re turn, and no wight left to mount side spikes.
Just remove a few spikes, perhaps 6, from the mid-height rack. you don't need such a spike density by square meter.
Believe me, DSA and side spikes are better than a lot of spikes, but plastic and exposed sides.
And, well, Somebody's right, Ramzones does suck.
-
Ah, I remeber talking about Ramzone to be a P.O.S.:approve:
About Nastyer's Return,(From this point on, N.R., I'm geting sick of wrighting the full name:angry: ) The spike density is complet over kill. But as Jamie said" But thats what we do, we blow s*** up:bigsmile:". But to be honst, I do plan to mod it. Theres a ugly gap where I took out one of the bat.s. I'm just going to remake it. :rolleyes:
-
Well, RC would get owned by a popup and would have big issues against a VS/hammer. especially if the hammer is well armored.
-
Make the chassis smaller than. Shape it like this=
l....l
l....l
.l_l ingore the dots...
Attempt to stack the blacks and just make it two rows with lots of spikes instead of 3.

Wold help if you can tell me how.:confused:
P.S.: How many of you fell for the Batman joke.
I would like to present, MANTO, the most powerful bots I have ever built.:-D
There are four MANTOS, improveing the one before it. I shall post all four:
Manto:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25844screenshot_275.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25844screenshot_275.JPG) (http://[IMG)
A tuna can spiner,a OK bot, but missing a lot power.
MANTO2:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51634screenshot_276.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51634screenshot_276.JPG) (http://[IMG)
As you can see,theres now a big change, the drum. It set the standerd for MANTO 3&4
MANTO3:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97651screenshot_277.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97651screenshot_277.JPG) (http://[IMG)
The drum the same, but the bot it self is MUCH biger. The worst of the MANTO'S:-(
MANTO4
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17558screenshot_278.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17558screenshot_278.JPG) (http://[IMG)
The curent MANTO, and with a maseive overhaul. Better drum, smaller bot, more power. And YES, Drumblebee was the reson why I built MANTO2. Tell me how you think of MANTO4, MANTO5 is on the way.:-D
BEHOLD MORTLS! MANTO5 IS HERE! TREMBLE BEFORE MY WRATH!
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18110screenshot_280.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18110screenshot_280.JPG) (http://[IMG)
I think I have made the bigset stock drum, ever. Heres my frist B.S., of MANTO5 and frist meal:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4648screenshot_281.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4648screenshot_281.JPG) (http://[IMG)
MANTO's ready, are you?

Well Manto5 is nice, but don't get overconfident. A decent HW HS would own it.
-

R18, If you've something new and of content (more that 'LOL') you may at times need to DP to show others that there's something new to look at; esp on your own thread.
Get this: 'Reason over rules.' Rules are 'external restrains' like leashes; they're for dogs who as of yet lack intrinsic self-control... So use your head (unlike Hydro).
-
Manto5 is good!:-D
-
I like Manto 5. Mabye rotate the iron spikes out a little bit so they reach out from the disk some more. Also, downgrade the DDT's to green snappers if you aren't using them as flippers, and use the gained weight for more weapons or armour.
-
Actually looks pretty good. I dont know how effective irons are on a drum but yeah, looks nice.
and....im pretty sure hes using the ddts to self right, rs.
-
Irons should work OK on a drum because they damage on all sides.
-
Thanks everyone! About the DDTs, their not for filping, their there to self-right.
-
Or you could make Manto 6 to be invertible.
Put smaller wheels and side armor- a plow, ramplate, or several static weapons on the sides.
-
So you think drums and ramers are the only bots I build? WRONG. I give you my deadly HS, DarkWing2, Quad, and Urben Brawl.
DarkWing2:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8676screenshot_284.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8676screenshot_284.JPG) (http://[IMG)
Quad:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63216screenshot_285.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63216screenshot_285.JPG) (http://[IMG)

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98278screenshot_286.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98278screenshot_286.JPG) (http://[IMG)
Tell me how much you like these bots. DarkWing2 was just built today, btw.
-
whats up with the big chassis' dude?
-
Please post the bots innards rather than just the outsides. We can't really help you unless we know what's in them.
-
Indeed, these chassis are massive.
DarkWing 2 is the better- you might want to reduce chassis size, add another spinner and switch to shinies.
Quad has a HUGE chassis and all these spinners scattered are only useful if you SitnSpin... the worse.
I think you can put shinies on Urban Brawl too and lower the chassis' height -be sure to rotate the HP Z-teks if they touch the ground.
Also, try to put Z-teks upwards and downwards on the same bot- look at the other's über-stacked-HS in other showcases.
-
Sry for not puting a gut shot of my bots. I guess I should.
DarkWing2:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54108screenshot_287.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54108screenshot_287.JPG) (http://[IMG)
Powerful, but unstable. Some times havoks. Underpowerd, but can last two min.s without problems. Forgive the pinks.
Quad:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64633screenshot_288.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64633screenshot_288.JPG) (http://[IMG)
I built Quad for unmoded stock, not starcore. I built it long before DW2 or UB. Thats why it sucks.:ermm:
Urben Brawl:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58613screenshot_289.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58613screenshot_289.JPG) (http://[IMG)
As you can see, UB is'nt like most of my bots. Tons of snapers hold it to gether. Not my fav. bot, due to its short wheel base, makeing turning a pain.>_<
Feed back welcomed.
-
For Dark Wing, you should get rid of the pinks, and then put in another black battery.
-
You should get the AI parts unlock:
There: https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Components/Combo_AI_&_SZ.zip
There is a lighter snapper (13kg), called the Snapper II, way weaker but good for bursting/snapper stacking. And two attachment points.
Then you should gain some weight by only using snapper II's (but not for weapon/srimech uses).
DarkWing 2 needs one more black, and Quad just needs two blacks.
EDIT: and for weight saving, you can put multiple motors on one Snapper. The better HW horizontal spinners there don't have more than two Snapper II's.
-
blue snappers > servos
practice battery stacking, and use weight efficient Chassis'
-
Last 2 posts = wise bot-building info, Urjak. Really can't add much to their input.
I don't think 'chassis size' can be over emphasized; small as possible is best because of weight and vulnerability.
-
The only issue to small chassis is their lack of durability contrarily to big chassis, but you gain a lot of weight. That can be used for external armor, or weapons.
Oh, and one general advice: Look at the other showcases, watch and learn. Lurk on the forum. You'll get tons of valuable information.

can you explain how a larger chassis has more durability please. it might be another thing to take into consideration.
-
Well, it will take more hits from the same weapon to destroy a SHW chassis than a LW chassis.
-
Nary is right about this Sage, you can make two DSA chassis. One with the smallest posible and one with the biggest posible size. Then, start hit them with something to see are they have the same endurance or not ;)
And one question for Nary :
Imagine if you are a target and some people will shoot at you. What will you prefer Nary? To be a huge guy that think he can take more hits, or a very small gnome that have a big chances to not get hit ? So the choice is up to the builder...
-
Well, Like I said, I built Quad for UNMODED stock! Trust me, I was a(Can't belelve I'm going to do this!) n00b when I built Quad! But I did get that thing that un-hides the parts, and made this simi-worthy AI team.

Mah Boi!: I Think thats Childs-Play4 biger brother. Just not as efective.
SPAAAARTA: Never let your younger brother build bots for your team. The face spiner is stacked, and FILPS smaler bots. The ax spinner self-rights the bot, as far as I know, thats wasnt there for that resson.
Dinner: Dispite the pic, I moded it so the fliper gos the right way. Sends other LWs to orbit!
Bw-Warrior Cereal: My frist try, just a push bot.
Aw-Munf Munf!: Same bot, smaler size.
Dinner Blaster: Spiner and a fliper, sends them to orbit after distroying them.
Tell me how you think!
-
Mah Boi!: You don't need that rear snowplow. And forget the Redbirds- they SUCK. Use Zteks instead, they are only 4kg heavier and way more powerful.
SPARTAAA! : indeed, never let your younger borther build bots for your team, unless you REALLY suck, that is not the case.
Dinner: Wheels too big, bad wedge choice (use a small wedge instead), and... as SD said on youtube, FLIPPERS SUCK!
BW: The chassis is too big. And you're not gonna make tons of damage with that. Look at BW-Get Away Car from the Mafia team in S3.
AW: same.
Dinner Blaster: Spinner/flippers hybrids are useless unless you use dual counter-rotating spinners. That is, for getting the bot up the wedge and flipping it then.
-EDIT-
-
interesting...
-
Mah Boi!: You don't need that rear snowplow. And forget the Redbirds- they SUCK. Use Zteks instead, they are only 3kg heavier and way more powerful.
I thought 4 kg heavier...

See you guys are giving my team a hard time(would help if I could skin:ermm:) I now like to show my new simi AI worthy team.

EMERGENCY mini: Snaper filper, But HP-Z-TECK powered drive.
EMERGENCY: You seen this guy quite a lot.
AW-Micro EMERGENCY: No fliper, sry.:(
BW-Miny EMERGENCY:Fliper, nothing new.
EMERGENCY2: Thats a pop-up now! Eight spikes in all!
Tell me how you like them!
-
actually, they all look pretty decent, you could probably make them better by managing chassis space.
-
I would like you to see my one of my oldest bots. Its the most powerful bot I have ever built, and it hits HARD. This bot was built for un-moded stock, but it flatly killed a SC bot. Behold, no other bot I have built has ever mached this bots uber power.
S.A.W.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64041screenshot_320.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64041screenshot_320.JPG) (http://[IMG)
I know its full of empty space and overloded with batts, but it makes up for it in his fight record. The weapon motor is a twin stacked HP-ZTEK. Give me feed back on the best bot I have ever built.
-
Move the Zteks so they are not slanted. Remove the pinks and redbirds with lawnmower blades. Use the extra weight to add some static spikes or extra defense.
It's pretty good for an old bot. Now you gotta keep raising the bar for yourself.
-
Oh a freak. Venko's gonna love you!
Feedback: Ok here we go!
The chassis could be smaller - although, i saw worse than that.
First do all that R0B0 told you.
Stick with two (or three) Supervolts. Don't use pinks on a HW- pinks are for ants and beetles.
You should learn how to master round extenders. All these grey connectors makes me feel heavy.
And use another thing that these Sledgehammers - the worse weapons. Irons, perhaps - the thing will have less spin-us time, and will reach farther, will be more powerful. And you'll have 80 kg more to mess with. But if irons can jam the disc into another bot's weapon (possible), use something else, like maces.
-
To be fair, That's a perfect example of a bad design done good. I just have to say that that could actually work in RL, minus the Lawnmower blades.
-
See you all like S.A.W., I once built another twin stacked spiner, but it was'nt the type of bot I hoped for. On another note, heres my new uber stacked HS.:-D

-
Eeer...
What is a SWH exactly?
-
Hi R1885 :). Your SHW looks like it really needs work. Unless you plan on attacking enemies with your side, the back ten HPzteks are useless because they are outreached by the front two. And is there only one black battery in it?
-

One of the tribars is missing a spike.
You mean two?

"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?
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48746screenshot_326.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48746screenshot_326.JPG) (http://[IMG)

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?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49199yourdoom.jpg)
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.
-
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.>_<
-
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.
-
Nope, still got nothing.>_<
-
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.
-
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.
-
Would the chassis get damaged when attacking verticle spinners or rammers? It's like throwing your body at the murderer.
-
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".
-
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.
Flinger:

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
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99438screenshot_339.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99438screenshot_339.JPG) (http://[IMG)

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
-
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.
-
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?
-
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

In my newbie time, I found that extremely useful.

Same case for Flinger and S.A.W., built for un-moded stock.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Like I said, its one of my older robots.
-
Well, a new bot for you all.

Tell me how you like it.:biggrin:
-
Wow.... I like it a lot. Nice stacking.
-
Not too bad.
It would be really good if it wasn't highly underpowered (you need two blacks for that design) and you could still gain empty space.
-
Here's a few tips
1) Add two blacks to the front.
2) Add the wheels and weapons to two Snapper 2's on the neck.
-
Really great bot, but: There's no reason for that HPZtek in the center because it's outreached except for when you're fighting backwards. If you changed the two corners in front of the wheel so that they are parallel to the front, you might gain some free weight.
-
why did you show the outside if it didnt have any skin at all?

Heres the skin! Like it? Its my first time using a custom skin.
-
Um... Get rid of the green outlines. Maybe download GIMP? Good editing software.
-
And now, that skin ruined everything.
-
Just like mine do! :-D
-
what a horrible skin. im sorry. but you just colored the shapes black and tried to write with a paintbrush.
-
F***! I just can't skin for s***! Honestly, does the skin mater? I build bots that work. Skining is somethig I do last, if at all. On a side note, I did this post on a another commputer, so I can't do any thing about it at this time.
-
the bot is good. if you suck at skinning, 1: dont post an outside pic of your bot. 2: dont post 2 pictures of a horrible skin in a different post.
-
Or people, give him a break and just focus on the design, not the skin.
-
Dude, just paint it black or somthing, and add a few decals.
-
Does skinning ever matter for ANYTHING?!?!?!?! Everybody here focuses to much on something that really doesn't matter for the bot.
-
I'd rather be owned by a cool looking bot than a peice of junk.
-
Does skinning ever matter for ANYTHING?!?!?!?! Everybody here focuses to much on something that really doesn't matter for the bot.
Completly agree.
-
I don't!!!! What does it matter if the bot has a good skin.
-

I agree. Skinning isn't important if you just want to show how the bot is built.

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71657screenshot_362.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71657screenshot_362.JPG) (http://[IMG)
Hindered Chaos: Named due to it only having one spinner.
KAHOS: Built much like CMK2
C.H.A.O.S.: Improved in favor of MK2, but still powerful.
AW-Chaotix: AW Vs, not many of them.
BW-Chaos?- Same as Chaotix, but with two spinners.
C.H.A.O.S.MK2-I have already shown you this guy.
Free cake to who can guess where the matto came from.:-D
-
BW -Chaos? is crap. You're better with one tri extender on a motor, and weapons on it.
They all look decent, and i don't see how the AW is a VS...
-
That antweight is just whirlwind with it's weapon tilted.
-
Ah... Now i see what it is. It's the same as mine.

O.K.! Its a NW clone! But I had my own way with it. For a look under the bot...
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81392screenshot_370.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81392screenshot_370.JPG) (http://[IMG)
I have put ICA! Its an anti pop-up! Also, the spiners are angled to get more time under the enemy bot. SB's are there, do to shinys being to small. The Green ones may have more weight, but you can put them in more places. I like you to know that I don't normaly use ICA.
About the name, heres the you tube video on were I got the name.:-D
Meet the REAL Sandvich! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb2iolbIlWc)
-
Small wedges are waaaaaaay better than the Emergency ones. Use them instead.
-
I would, but the snow plows get in the way.
-
What a mess...
You don't need that many snappers, and use a black instead of two nifties!
-
i love the sandvich
-
Wat is ICA (I am guessing Invincible Caster Armor?), and are those Ram Plates Out there because they work like a Firestorm Flipper or what>
-
Yes your right, it is suposed to be Invincible caster armor, and no, those ram plates don't flip, there there to:
A: Self Right, and
B: Prevent frontal damage.
And its not as long as the pic sugests, two Niftys are the only ones that will fit. I would like to note that it took me a good two hours to make.
-
i like it, but could be improved. put all maces on, instead of the 2 irons spikes. move the ramplates so they COVER the chassis. they look quite silly and weird in that picture. they are making the bot worse by not letting other bots slide up as easily.
cool design. its more of a platform spinner then a juggler though.

My list of bots that just sucked, and were quickly replaced.:-(

Five HP-Ztek spiner, whats more deadly? However, it was way to front heavy, and moving the spiners back didn't help either. In the end, I got rid of him.

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95867screenshot_377.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95867screenshot_377.JPG) (http://[IMG)
I made sure that it has almost no wasted space. And a look from above proves it.
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14831screenshot_376.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14831screenshot_376.JPG) (http://[IMG)
So, do you like it?
-
Nice. This snowplow should be close to the spinners, that said.
-
Yeah, it would give the weapon added reach.
-
try spinning the snowplow 180 degrees so you trap the other bot
-
Pretty good, but some weight left over. Definetly put the snowplow closer.
-
I see your all liking Matrix, but I have another one that you will like more!
C.H.A.O.S. Mk.3
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86893screenshot_378.JPG[/IMG]](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86893screenshot_378.JPG) (http://[IMG)
Unless something hapens, this will be my BBEANS5 entry. I would use irons, but there to heavy.
-
again: the two Z-Teks infront block everything behind them from doing any actual damage...
-
Very true, try to line up your motors better.
-
again: the two Z-Teks infront block everything behind them from doing any actual damage...
wrong. tribars are not discs. things go through them. theres nothing wrong with this setup. i bet its actually pretty good.
-
There are multiple lines of defense.
-
Chassis is too big.
I'm actually working on a 36-iron HW HS nd for that you need to have a god damn small chassis...
-
wrong. tribars are not discs. things go through them. theres nothing wrong with this setup. i bet its actually pretty good.
Really, I didn't know that. :Confused:
-
Quad and UrbAn brawl could lose to an Ant.
Darkwing needs a smaller chassis, and might have steering probs.
-
Oh? I didn't know that either. Still, wouldn't it be more efficient when they're lined up? Also, weight could be gained - and power saved - if the number of Zteks was cut in half and instead, the weapons on each tribar were doubled. How many black batts are in it?
-
I would like to point out that C.H.A.O.S. Mk3 uses eight hp Z-teks. It only uses one black. I could get two spikes per head, but that would mean six kilos of weight per bar. Multiple that by eight, gets me 48 kilos of extenders, not counting the weapons.
-
Well downgrade to 6HPZ's, stack another black and use the remaining weight to strenghten your other spinners.
-
On CHAOS MK.3, there might not be weight to replace all the razors with iron spikes, but you can certainly replace SOME of the razors with iron spikes. There's nothing saying all your weapons must be uniform. In fact, if you replaced the razors on the back two spinners with iron spikes, it would give them added reach and solve that problem ShadowArts was worrying about.
I would advise against cutting the number of spinners, because then it would turn into a carbon copy of every other HS ever made. 8 tribars mashed together like that is actually semi-original, and there are definite benefits to eliminating the weak extender link in your weapon system (one of them being 10x more resistance to my bot Frag Beetle).
Matrix looks good, reminds me of FB's Mad Hatter.
FYI, Thunder Hawk doesn't get up to speed because you have no supports in the front and back, so the chassis drags on the ground when it's spinning. You'll notice that on Thunder Cloud and Dark Cloud, I have extenders coming down off of the front and back connection points of the disc with razor tips on them. That's for stability, to keep the chassis from hitting the ground, and it's essential for the bot's functioning.
Burst- or servo-enhancing the weapon motor also helps drastically. Hard to do on a MW, but almost essential on a HW.
-
Amen Click... It's been months since we seen any original HS around.
BTW R18- How stable is it? Once a motor or two is ripped off?

I have been in such a frenZy with DSl, I haven't been working on stock that much. I have built some new bots, but I'm not sure you can call them "good".
This is Sparta:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23905screenshot_393.JPG)
This is why you don't put as many spikes on pop-ups. It is some what capable, but it be the last thing I want to enter. One good thing about it, is that it has stacked blacks!:-D
Matrix Database:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20279screenshot_394.JPG)
An improved Matrix. I love servos due to them taking up less space in the bot. Weapons moved up, and are wider.
REaSON FOR GUILT:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59714screenshot_395.JPG)
My first pop-up under 400 kigs, and Ok one at that. Has six razors, but I'm not sure if its done right.
Hive Tyrant:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75379screenshot_396.JPG)
It has stacked blacks, eight razors, great wedges, and uber drive. But I need to improve reach. Other than that, I think its a good bot. All feed back is welcomed.
-
For This Is Sparta: Is it possible to put some caster armor on that? I would definitely try to use that extra 200 or so kilos. All are pretty well built and that first made popup isn't too bad either!
-
Chassis is too big.
I'm actually working on a 36-iron HW HS nd for that you need to have a god damn small chassis...
try doing it with servos ><
-
Wow, over a month, well I got one bot for you all. And I will be fair, when BBEANS5 comes along, you will all die.
TrinityMan:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65183screenshot_411.JPG)
Don't know what to do the last 140 or so kigs. Any suggestions would be nice. BTW, the reason the spiners are so low, is that its Anti-AC. If its well made, only the lower maces should hit the spikes. BTW, has any one made bindings for Trinity SnS's?
-
just add more spikes with the extra weight. simple as that.
-
Thanks. New and improved.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36659screenshot_414.JPG)
Sadly, that is as many spikes I can put on there with out hacking. But Its still one of the most powerful bots I ever built. Its a close to unstoppable as I can get.
Pros:
Spins fast.
Powerful weapon.
"Drifts".
Cons:
Can't stop spinning. This is the major flaw with it. When it loses, its always the result of this. Some of you might get lucky and this happens, but this happens rarely.
PS, I'm still wondering how many of you fell for "Batman on Drugs".
-
Well not bad, but THAT rule
Your bot must be able to show controlled (not random) movement at any time during the match, for as long as its drive system remains undamaged.
kills you.
Plus i would use something else than irons on this.
-
Well not bad, but THAT rule

if its using a AI, it will drive forward just a bit, which counts, because it showed it at any time during the match.

I forgot about that rule, but it can move when it spins, but not that well.
-
Teh bot must show controlled movement at ANY time (if their drive train is stilll undamaged), precisely! Not just once.
So for a TSnS it is, for the major part of the fight, uncontrolled movement.
Or it can be controlled but we don't know much about that glitch...
-
imo maces work better than irons on trinitys
-

Good old melty-brain is helping me here, I can move froward and backward slightly, but its not fast, but just controllable.
@Scrap: Sorry, but the spikes are just too close to the ground. Maces just make it a THS, I can't control that. Its also why I am not using shineys.
@All: If it is rejected, I will remake it with static arms. It wont be as cool, but it might win some rounds.
-
My bro decided to enter a bot for BBEANS5. This is his entry. Any resemblence to Nastyser's return in unintentional.
Can't spell the name. Note that he loves Warhammer40000.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5540screenshot_415.JPG)
He will enter as Bloxace14. (Or Snacha. I don't care, he could call him self lord of the Hippos for all I care.) This is not my bot, I only helped. Any advice must go to him, not me.
-
Tell him to add more spikes, or maybe bigger wheels for invertability.
-
I deiced to leave Tempestman out, and put in Crashman.EXE in. Who is Crashman.EXE? This guy.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18445screenshot_421.JPG)
Yup. I'm going to enter a near carbon copy of NWB. One black. DSA. Don't know what to do with the last 120 kigs.
-
Maybe more batteries?
-
If you can, you should probably try to stack a black or 2.
Maybe some extra armor on the front & sides would help a bit also.
-
I'm glad someone uses jugglers.
Stack another black, and add irons like the real NWB.
-
Updated:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39521screenshot_422.JPG)
Razors replaced with irons. Also, stacked blacks are in there.
-
sweet clone.
-
You still have more weight. you can put on more spikes on the spinners.
-
Just make it a true clone...
-
Why not just import the damn thing and change the name...
-
Not allowed. You must built your own bot.
But the rules doesn't mentions "no clones".
-
Why not just import the damn thing and change the name...
Ha ha, very funny. But I added razors to the spinners. The issue, is that Crash can't even get under ITC. :frown: Oh well.
-
ITC?
-
I suppose it's Inside The Clock.
-
Yup.
-
Put the Snappers further apart, in the front wedge prongs, instead of having those long sideways extenders. Should make the wedges better.
You could also give it rubber wheels, for a ~10% wedge efficiency increase (see the Mythbusters thread) and to make it at least look different from NWB.
Your bro is pretty good. That rammer is not bad at all.
-
The issue is that the the prongs are thinner than they look. The snappers wont fit in there, and I don't think I can stack the batts a second time. I built a new bot for Duck's torny, and named it raZe.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48601screenshot_521.JPG)
Hp-Z-tek drive, one black, snapper2s, and all under 400 kigs (Not easy)
all built, and I spent 15 mins on it:neutral:. I also made sure that 3-2-1 Blastoff! a quick exit.
-
15 mins on a tourney bot is nothing.
Plus, 4WD HP Z-tek on a tabletop is pretty much guaranteed OOTA.
-
It really is. If you were running at a bot and it moved, there isn't much of a way that the AI would stop before the edge.
-
Remove one pair of Z-Tecs and add a snowplow at the front behind your wedges.

just curious, but are you gonna AI it for the tourney!?!
-
Yes. That was the rule, right?
EDIT: Wait, are you talking about raZe or Crash?
-
Yes. That was the rule, right?
EDIT: Wait, are you talking about raZe or Crash?
i think hes talking about the bot that he quoted.
anyway, i believe i have a bot called raze... or was that raze and daze... or razzle dazzle... i don't know anymore, i have so many.
-
Raze and Daze I believe.
-
15 mins on a tourney bot is nothing.
Plus, 4WD HP Z-tek on a tabletop is pretty much guaranteed OOTA.
If you let the AI zoom around at full throttle, then sure. But you can turn down the max speed of the AI so they will go slower but still push with the power of all four HP-Zteks. Setting a maxspeed of about 3 should do the trick.
-
I have been updating Crash, and there has been some change.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/40582screenshot_524.JPG)
The front wedges are far better than the old ones. I might move them back to better protect them. It owns big time.
Vs. RPB:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6531screenshot_527.JPG)
Yet, I can't decide on Crash, or Flash. Yes, Flash.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39252screenshot_485.JPG)
Flashman.EXE is what you think it is. Four Blacks, DDT powered weapons. An odd thing about it is that I used all the snappers for this bot(The ram plates are held by SnapperII's) Or I might enter C.H.A.O.SMk2 or 3.
-
Crashman2 is cool.
I think 3 blacks would be enough for your popup.
-
I like to propose this for the SC4 pack.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83081screenshot_531.JPG)
Two backs. DSA. Good wedge.
-
insides?
-
Doesn't the other one have axes?
-
insides?
Of who?
-
i think he means inside of overnight delivery,and on delivery i think you should put longer pole spikes,what are those 30s? hmmm. i would take off the spikes on the side because your going to mostly be ramming them,so they hardly get on the side.and put 60 cm spikes then it should help.
-
60cm spikes are much less effective weight wise and the irons on the sides are to give some protection to the wheels. But 60cm spikes on the sides would give more protection.
-
Yeah, 30cm pole spikes are better for the poker.
Shouldn't irons/maces would be better for side defense?? Or maybe casters, it's lighter and maybe better.
If you can eFFe the pistons you could be better with pointy tips (same as 30cm pole spikes but better protection)
-
I think those ARE 30cm's.
Also, that type of chissis isn't very useful, because it wastes weight.
(But it looks cool.)
-
Not a poker, its a wammer. But I have changed to irons.
-
I think wammer shouldn't be for rammers with a wedge, but just for a robot designed like Cold Front, with the actually wedge shape in the weapons. or a bot like Event Horizon 2.
-
Meh, forget O.D. You need to worry about:

Not done yet.
-
I know its a DP. I just wanted to show off my new Crashman.EXE.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2472screenshot_573.JPG)
Weapon motors are now inside the bot, to get to them, you need a pop-up. All irons now. It kicks major ass now.
-
raise the plow.
-
YOU HAVE LEFT OVER WEIGHT USE IT!
maybe add two more irons to the discs so it is irons all around the outside, and change to shinies
or maybe add another ramplate somewhere.
-
I'd use 2 maces and 2 irons rather than 4 irons on your discs... could improve damage.
-
If I did that, the ram plates block them from doing any thing.
-
Get rid of the side mounted irons and use razor tips instead. You'll have the weight to put them all around the disks.
-
get creative, stop make duplicates of robots!

Is it a clone.
Yaaay 2000 posts!

You could call it that.
-
I has new bots too show you, random bots, and my BBEANS entry.
First the random ones:
Black Knight Returns
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44755screenshot_668.JPG)
Its a wedge killer. It will maul any wedge, regardless of what it is. Double, long, single, any. DSA, two blacks, two HPz drive.
Next is an upgrade of Reble2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97068screenshot_579.JPG)
Three blacks, six razors, steel. (Not my fault, blame C2.)
Now some random LW, F1a5h
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69775screenshot_634.JPG)
Meh.
Now my BBEANS entry. Say hecko to, SurgicalStrike. (Over weight due to smartzone)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41488screenshot_670.JPG)
Pros:
Powerfull
Fast
Good wedges(Can get under NWB head on!)
Good battery life
Original
Cons:
Not Havok stable
Exposed chassis.
Lack of weapons (ten razors and a iron)
Enemy must be on top to use weapon.
Three blacks, eight DDTs, four HPz drive.
-
Rebel 2-
why not just rebuild the chassis so you can have DSA?
-
I suppose you're aware of Black Knight's disc vulnerability...
____
I wouldn't be as bold as you to enter an unarmored popup in BBEANS5... with all the patented Rampant-HS-Zerg-Rush.
And 3 blacks is WAY too low for ten DDTs.
-
One more problem: SS is 801.5 kgs.
-
One more problem: SS is 801.5 kgs.
Yeah and as far as i know, smart zones weight 0.1 kg, not 1kg.
-
Wait. My fault, the old smartzones weight 2 kg.
-
Use one of Madiaba's smartzones, R1885.
-
It does a heck of a lot better than you think. It can effortlessly kill LD and Vortex CE.
-
Vortex CE is popup bait.
-
Vortex CE is a joke...
However this killing effortlessly Little Darling...

Thats pretty good.

Month old bump of my own showcase. This is fail, and can some one help me here?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/40529YUM.JPG)
It looks nasty, except it glitches at the simple act of turning.
All parts are on one blue burst motor.
-
It probobly glitches from turning because the snapper is placed horizontally. Try making it vertical so that it rotates up and down. It helps alot more with the driving.
-
It does a heck of a lot better than you think. It can effortlessly kill LD and Vortex CE.
Sorry for the bump on this. Didn't see it when it came out. SurgicalStrike did great against T-800 Terminator in BBEANS5. As I mentioned I stewed on a pair of weapon breaker razor tips out front vs 2 Caster Armors for Pop-up Protection. In lots of testing against other Pop-ups T-800 was killing fast enough to not need the Casters and the Razor Tips were helping against many other styles of designs. So compliments to you on SurgicalStrike.
And don't forget that Vortex CE was designed in another age. And age before DSA, before the effe glitch. Pop-ups had just started showing up in any numbers and much less parts overlapping was going on. In its time it was quite effective and I am glad to have people help make a version worthy of inclusion in Starcore V4.
By the way this is the kind of opponent that you need to worry about in BBEANS5...

What on earth was that thing int the video? A lightning bolt?
That was the mighty Warmachine (as seen in Starcore V4 Alpha 3). One of the first examples (that I know of) of a Caster Armor Rammer. It does look like Venko continued the idea very nicely.
Starcore
-
Venko has any RA2 builder's dream. A glitchy game that makes stacking easy as anything.
How many castors and Irons does it have? I know it has 6 HPZ's...

Made my entry for Infs torny,

DSA
-
little bit of extra weight but its a good vs
-
it would be beter with Ztek Drive and HP Weapons.
And you did not need to use 2 angle connectors on each side where plows are mounted.
Space is wasted.
-
HEY! thanks for reminding me i had that bot. Now i can send it in as a back up while i work on a different one.
-
Built something else,

Spike strips? Hell yeah.

four Backs? I think its a typo right? you only need like 2/1 Battery for that. Use rubber wheels, make it look cooler and make it lower to the ground

I was trying to make a 36 mace four HPztek spinner when I was building this guy. As you can see, I failed. But I did mange to build a 24 maced spinner. It still consistently kill SV4 bots. DSA, two blacks.
-
Looks underweight. Not bad, that said, but could use a snowplow or something.
-
That's what I used with Vela but I fit more into it so yeah It's definitely underweight.
-
I'm going to make a 24 mace HS with 4 snowplows later, stay tuned.

Just seems really messy to me. Probably could have stacked the batts.

Thank u very much this going to be a big help for my next bot,now I know what a good one looks like and what is needed in the inside. Also I just wanted to to know what would be ur second choice for weapons if u couldent use razor spikes
-
I dont doubt the bot, but the drive needs to be f a r t h e r apart.
-
Irons, but their heavy. Four Razors is heavy for a DDT, thats about two irons for DDT. SurgicalStrike (Also a pop-up of mine) and this bot are built to maximize a damage to surface ratio. You can find a video of Surgic here (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/matches/5/4570_SurgicalStrike.wmv).

ok thanks again, ya I watched some videos of surgic strike in the BEANS5 tourney I didn't know it was urs:approve:, it actually was my favorite of that type of bot in the tourney
-
Make the razors face the same way, widen the drive, and it's good otherwise.
And what's a "kigs."
-
kilograms

@R1885 how did u get the burst motor on the sides with an angle like that??? I started making my popup but having trouble with that angle
-
Which ones?
-
Which ones?
The ones that are flipped vertically(the ones for the wedjes)
-
The Snapper two has four connection points, the default one, two to place it vertically, and another for side use. The green things in the preview are connection points, click them and they become the connection points.

Bots for my SCv4 team, Team R1
LW- Maco
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8857Maco.PNG)
The only true pop up on my team, it eats Lws for dinner. ztek drive, DSA, one black.
MW- Flash Firefly
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77490Flash Firefly.PNG)
Six razors own just about any mw. Hpzek drive, one black, DSA.
HW- Gate
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16493Gate.PNG)
The only bot on my team to have frontal armor, its almost unfair to use agaist the other hws. Three blacks, eight razors.
HW- Miso
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98774Miso.PNG)
You have seen this guy, but its MUCH more powerful.
BW- PopoP
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7424PopoP.PNG)
This litle guy entered BOTM under the name, "This popup contains win". My best BW,
SWH- Crushing Blow
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13908CB.PNG)
One thing I will say, if you let it get under you, you will have a very, very bad day. 36 razors in all.
Post any criticism.
-
What's the weight of the SHW? :O
*36 razors... damn...*
-
Around 1200 killos. Almost killed Warlock in one hit.
One hit kills any hw.
-
Humunahumunahumunahumuna...
Oh, I forgot to ask: How many razors per DDT? And is that 6WD?
-
It is six wheel drive.
There is six weapon ddts, each with six razors each.
-
Wait...Anybody can send teams to starcore?!
-
Yeah. They just have to be good.
-
.....>=D
-
Yeah, but it is really dumb IMO. The originality of the pack isnt preserved cause new teams are added. If you have GOOD teams, just send them to me.
-
Starcore, Competition!
I say someone should have both AI packs dual.
-
Shouldn't it be "duel"?

Holy, its been a while.

The one on the right is SurgicalStrike 2010. Its a fair bit better than its predecessor.
Things that improved:
Better wedges
Move weapons closer to score one unified hit rater than six smaller hits.
I cut out some DDTs(Five ratter than eight)
looks much cleaner than the old one
Its also a fair bit faster
Stats are four HPztek drive, rubber wheels, three blacks, and DSA armor.
-
Looks good. Battleshots?
-

More like, inside shots?
The lack of armor may be an issue. It seems to me that popups with more concentrated, focused weapons like Seism 13 need more front armor to absorb hits while they line up shots, while popups with spread out razors like R4 and the original Surgical Strike don't need so much. They just slide under and kill stuff before HS's can do too much damage.
However, that's just a theory.
-
Sheer number of razors probably comes into play too. R4 has 20, so I suspect that to be the reason for 1HKOs.
-
Seism 13 has half of R4's razors but can still OHKO bots.
-
I suspect that it's less frequent though. Previous incarnations of R4 had ~10 razors and could 1HKO bots, but that was much rarer.
-
True. The Shizzler can one hit KO bots bt all the 10 razor pop-ups I've made rarely do it.
-
Surely it depends more on the bot it's fighting?
-
Gezze, it's been long.
This is End of the Century:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37432thething.PNG)
Yep, it's a SHW super pop-up. No razor count, but I think it totals to about 24 to 30. Consistently OHKOs any HW you throw at it, and it's so heavy that it gives it surprisingly good wedges. Six DDTs, six Super Volts, Six HP-ZTeks, and DSA armor, a bit heavy at about 1270 Kilos.
-
make it 1200 kg, make it cleaner, but otherwise cool!
-
Did you know I still build bots?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/88452buchofbots1.PNG)
All bots have DSA armor, Spring Blocker has a nifty, 665, P.C., M.D, and WHSD all have one black. Blue Hue has three.
Spring Blocker has regular Ztek drive, the rest have Hp Zteks All bots that have a wedge use the Snapper2.
Spring Blocker has three razors, Blue Hue has six.
-
SB looks ok, razors look kinna off-center tho
and im pretty sure you need atleast 8 razors for a hw popup, and i really do hope it is 4wd or more
PC should be closer to the weight limit, you have like 40+ kg
WHSD however........ wtf
EDIT: the lw looks similar to this, but the new one is a regular popup

Too powerful. THE POWA.
Looks sick though, but it may be very, very slightly OP.
Can I have insides, see if you can get a supervolt in instead.
-
DSA is banned in Robot Wars. How many people aren't reading the rules properly? Also too many iron spikes IMO.
-
lol 6 ants is too much

If you got rid of two spikes and gave it Titanium it should be fine.

-
Hmph. That's the idiosyncraties i get into for playing DSL only.
still 6 pinks = doing it wrong. Use a black.
also how did you installed your 4WD rear HPZ ? I'm pretty damn sure Jonzu's tournament is realistic...

I'M STILL ALIVE
My team for that torny that needs teams.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54465clubsoda.png)
Little ant rammer. Plastic armor, I suck at stock ants.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66695gingerale.png)
Beetle hammer, reskined TPCW. DSA I think.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77985lemonlime.png)
Lightweight HS. DSA armor, control board stacked in the battery.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8928cola.png)
I don't even need to say who this is. Plastic armor makes it as durable as pinata.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52577rootbeer.png)
Chained HS spinner. DSA armor, spin up is super fast.
-
aw looka alright i geuss, pretty sure fracture made a better version like that though.
on the bw, a sloped chassis like that and a hammer = ::badidea , any hs will eat the extenders
nothing much to say on the lw
i really feel the mw could get rid of some of those ballasts and get DSA
can the hw even turn without gyro dancing?
-
I'm glad, that you build again stock :claping
-
Yay for RIBBS attempting stock again...
BOO FOR THE BLATANT SPIN CYCLE CLONE
