Additional Notes:
My strongest non-popup LW.
Breaking off the disc reveals a D:< face
Semi realistic. (Unsure if the razors clip the rear wheels)

U should change the disk and put rotator bar and those same razor things :)
And why theres an other razor next to other , no need's for that dude :)

Well, I wondered about the rotator bar... think I decided to go for the disc for lower weapons. And more of them.

But the extra razor on this disc is intended.
Without it, the bot's stuck upside down. With it, it can spin back on it's wheels.

For rotator bar put 1 angle connector (45*) on each tip and add a razor , it gives more low hittings (Y) :)

Kristjanq, you probably shouldn't give advice untill you know a little more about RA2. I'm not trying to swat you hare, but some people don't like it.

As for the bot, it's chassis is a little large. Maybe you should stick the HPZ on a snapper, it'll increase the speed, and you can shrink your chassis to get some weight for more weapons.
Title: Red's Robotic Hall of Lame - Stock Edition
Post by: Naryar on February 26, 2009, 02:45:49 PM
@Kristjanq: NO.

@Redline: I don't like that unbalanced weapon on a HS. If you reduce the chassis size, you can get rid of that vertical razor and change to irons. Or maces.
Title: Red's Robotic Hall of Lame - Stock Edition
Post by: Sage on February 26, 2009, 02:57:43 PM
FOR KRIST SAKE NO NOOB ADVICE PLZ.

might be better with a smaller disc and irons instead of razors, so the disc isn't hit as easily and doesn't fall off as much. plus the weapons will have more HP. no srimech though.. but HS don't really need it as much as other bots.


EDIT: i hope someone gets my little play on words..

Try to skinnify the chassis a bit. Also, Kristjanq, that would make it overweight.

Post by: Somebody on February 27, 2009, 06:56:19 AM
I think that if you manage to get extra weight, use it on putting a razor on the opposite side for stability.

The bot is actually very stable. Well, yeah, it does sort of do a slight floor humping motion, but it keeps to the floor in it's current state. Within LW bounds, ofcourse.

Guys, I'll see what can be done. For now, I'll get another bot in this showcase sometime.

Post by: RedSawn on June 05, 2009, 04:31:23 AM
Good news, OK news, and technically bad news.

The good news is that I finally found the connection point under the tribar, making it tilt inwards rather then outwards. Finally. That took 4 years.

The technically bad news is that I might be able to have lower weaponed Tribars now, but I have no bloody clue what to do with them.

The OK news is that I'm dumping 5 minute bot splashes into here. Let me see the hate!

HMH - A black is definitely enough for that. And the usual blah - squeeze in some more, add more spikes with the extra weight blah.

CT - You can chip off the front corners, but I dunno what to do with the free weight.

EBN - A black is also enough for that, and I think you can add a snapper wedge if you remove the casters and squeeze the parts in some more.

[Edit] I think you might want to try SCv4 right now. :P

Heavy Metal Hero: It's wider than it should be. You can make it skinnier and cut off some of the back chassis since you don't need that Nifty. The Slippers aren't needed either because that means you made your chassis too high. You should save a lot of weight from doing that to add more weapons.

Chaos Theory: Hmm... I can't really find any major flaws on it, but you might be able to stack that Baseplate Anchor and Control Board inside that Nifty for extra weight.

Enter Bot Name: One Black is enough, and having those Slippers means your chassis is too high, use Shinnies. Those Castors on the bottom won't save you from a gut ripper since there is still a lot of the chassis still exposed. I would remove them and with all the weight saved, I would add (a) wedge(s).

I think it had to be done.

Reminds me of what I did with Big Flip and Double Damage. I made it smaller, light enough to be in the weight class below, yet nearly miles better.

Also, first ever competent VS!

Why use a snapper when you can use a baseplate anchor? I mean burst enhancing, but if you change it you will be able to get HPZ drive on. And I love the black HPZs.

There's no point to having Rubbers unless you have wedges, and you can save weight from not using those T connecters. Instead, use one extender sticking straight out and then attach connecters to the side of it.

The bot should use 6 wheel drive if you want it to compete at the HW level. 2 wheel drive is for a LW, and 4 wheel drive is for a MW.

Your choice to keep the plows but I recommend to not use them as then you'll have a VERY limited amount of weapons with the pistons, (plows,) 6 wheel drive, batteries, and air tanks. However, if you do choose to keep the plows, then I recommend not using 4 pistons. Instead, you should use 2 baseplate anchors for ramming, and 2 pistons for poking.

This whole paragraph makes me laugh my effin' ass off. Please, do not listen to this.

And yeah, SC3 is a must for you. You're solid.

I also love the aesthetics of even your most simple splashes.

But for advice, 4wd should be the ninimum requirement on this one. I would definitely just use 2 pistons, 4wd + airtanks. Also, Pysc is 1086% right about the plows.

No matter what "Life Robot Arena 2" (possibly meant to be LIVE?) just tried and failed at, I have some updates.

(http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9675/faileddesign.png)
That poker design I had going in the last couple of pages failed. Couldn't get it working so well, and attaching the snowplows to the burst pistons.. doesn't really provide the side protection it was meant to be.

However...

(http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/461/crowdcontrol.png)

This was more along the lines of what I was attempting at the very start. Though I guess you could say Slamboni there being passed around in this thread gave some inspiration.

It could be improved. But what should be done?

It's already quite good. Try attaching the drive to 2 Snapper IIs and use the secret attachment point to attach the plows instead. That way you can turn the tank 90 degrees and you can have a smaller chassis.

Took about 5 minutes to work out how you was meant to use the secret connection point (Knew about it, used it before, but it's just that for some reason I thought it acts like a 90 degree angle extender) On paper I'm not sure how much it'd change.

The Z-teks are about 3 pixels seperated from eachother, and putting the air tank in the gap in place of the black batt is will result in only having enough space for small batts.
Excluding tweaks to pretty much shrink-wrap the chassis, the layout seems to be in it's most effective form.

You know you can put the black err... red between the drive and still make the chassis shorter for more casters. :P

And why is the Rupting flipper a disadvantage? If it's for self-righting, maybe you could use the DDTs. :D
Title: Red's Robotic Hall of Lame - Stock Edition
Post by: RedSawn on August 05, 2009, 08:58:30 AM
Probably could of. Was lazy, probably. Or just saw the BFR style chassis as a good way to keep the wheels protected. I'm not sure if the anti-HS Caster armor will ever be effective on this design, but it is on my actual entry. Or atleast, in testing.

There's a BOT editing program that allows you to change the skin and the snapshot. If it's not GTM then it'll probably be on RFSHQ.

But I didn't use that, because I took a screenshot and Photoshopped it.

I have a new bot to showcase. It's unlike any other.

(http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8324/punchbag.png)

Punchbag.

230.7kg. RAD 4WD, but only 2 are used for forward/reverse movement. 4 casters for stability, but can deflect some underside attacks if required. Supervolt for power. Plastic armor.

Yes, it's terrible in every way. If you hadn't seen the bot, only the name... well, who would put their money on a bot called Punchbag?
It is a bot only COID could lose to.

But it does have it's purpose. It's a punching bag. Maybe we can see how fast a bot can destroy it. It shouldn't be too hard.

It did that for a whole 3 minutes. Only Spin Doctor had problems, where one of the irons would hit the casters while Punchbag was toppled over, and since they're all on a single extender and not seperately powered, all of them are stopped and the LW's just knocked away.

So, after making something apparently indestructable like Punchbag... anyone would want to know it's limits.

Well... meet a custom bot I made in 5 minutes.

- - This was built to destroy, not for showcase. If it was, then ofcourse it's in the wrong place. I'm just showing you the insides so you know what's there. - -

3 lightsabres on Fridgey HP motors. One of the strongest weapons up for download on one of the fastest motors up for download. It does about 5000 on a LIGHT BRUSH with the spinning weapons.

Surely this can KO Punchbag?

To put it briefly - It's FAST. NPC Fast motors with Techno Destructo wheels kind of fast.

Obviously he just figured out how to .bot edit stronger armor.

Firebeetle made a bot like Punchbag called "Barney Block" or something like that.  It was just a huge box painted with pictures of Barney the Dinosaur on all sides, with 4WD angle motors, and here's the catch: an unbalanced spinner in the middle of the chassis so it could keep bouncing to avoid immobility.  Oh, and near-invincible armor, of course.

Then he found some online game with a couple of newbies, joined with the username " " (just a single space) so no one could see him, and took it out, saying nothing.  Each person thought the other one was using the Barney Block.  It was pretty funny.  Little did they know there was a ghost in their midst.

And then they had to deal with this invincible, un-immobilizable (is that a word?) Barney Block running around :D

Well, I'm bored now and it'd be far too obvious if I released the bot, if it wasn't already. You're half there. Didn't edit the BOT file.

It WOULD be something to check for in a tourney though. Making sure plastic armor is actually plastic armor and so on. Wouldn't want "super DSA" to run amok - light as plastic, strong as DSA - or better.

Would be useful if used legally though. Maybe you just want your bot to have a different chassis shine. Say like, the orangey-red of Plastic, but on a bot that should have (and actually can fit) DSA armor.

Nice story there.

It's kind of hard to see in the BBEANS videos, but Firebeetle did that with Seism 13 and Blue Moon.  Seism 13 has an orangey-red shine with DSA, and Blue Moon has a bluish shine with a reflection map, like a Shiny Hub wheel.

This is a legal form of bot file editing because the BBEANS rules say, "The only thing you can do to your bot outside the bot lab is skin (paint) it."  Editing the armor shine is part of skinning.

Granted, they do have a bit of a power problem- but then that leaves blaring questions as to how Fury and Tempus get so much leftover weight. Well, Tempus does have plastic armor but that shouldn't save the required 14kg for a Supervolt.. because it sure moves more but loses less (power)

Like having plows raised one level of elevation for a level posture. Couldn't do that so a compromise was made. As for how effective the snowplow is exposed.. well... the MW hasn't lost yet, other then being out-weaponed (twice by Fury, nothing else)

I was going to enter a bot into Terror Twisters for the heck of it.

Not a new, striking design, not something that'd destroy all without actually making proper contact with the other bot, no.
Something for a laugh. Competence is a bonus. It is (well, kindof) on both counts.

One problem - TT isn't a MW tourney. Oh well.

(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5843/detergencysplash.png)

The name came from my concept Stock's Revenge tourney bot. Took the EMERGENCY chassis, made it better, and wanted to think of a name different but similar to EMERGENCY.

Along came DETERGENCY. It made sense as there are Detergents, that's where the sort-of cleaning theme comes in.
One google search later I found it was actually a real word. Go me.

So I made a MW version. Which is this.

Could you swap the position of the batteries and the wedge DDT?  You would use less extenders that way.


Also, that's a lot of razors for one DDT.  But if it works, it works.


I think beating AC is still a bit ambitious (It took me over 20 tries to do it with The Ultimate Sacrifice, which is fully caster armored) but it will definitely be more resilient to spinners.

That's true, it does have a slow swing. I'll see if those things can be done.

I don't suppose anyone minds another 27 month bump. x)

Yes.
I made this for the March 2013 BOTM... back on the 5th. I forgot to send it off 20 days in a row. Sadly now it can't have the anonymous factor it would of. x)

Clearly it would of won the BOTM hands down.

And here's something something to balance out the crap. It's a popup! It's probably the only modern stock design I am capable of with exception to a rammer.

It feels like the only things I can make these days in stock are (sub-heavyweight) popups and rammers.

I'll have to do Old vs. New sometime.

Maybe very minor rupting. It would explain why the force of the flip only occasionally causes the bot to strangely flip over by the front. But it doesn't rupt like we think of it.

It would rupt better with 1-2 razors on each arm rather than 4.

So everyone else is posting their BttR entries...
Can't say much about stock. I guess I like building with the old components as nostalgia, but building competitively (in the sense of Starcore level) sucks. So I won't.

So here it is. Was going to enter the 'true' version but seeing Mystic's entry prompted me to add a wedge for the tourney. It's surprisingly effective at keeping opponents propped up, even if the damage sucks. It'll grind anything down but it requires a ram with the spikes to get CB damage.

And something else, for fun. BFE'd the claws because they can't pass through the chassis. Extenders on the sides to prevent getting stuck on them. Might send it to Heap for his display tourney thing, but will probably rebuild it in RA3 regardless.

Really nice skinning work there.  The bots themselves are sort of meh but the skins make them look totally professional.  Alien is especially cool.

You should be able to build Flying Squirrel without BFE (and without an ugly long extender sticking out) if you rotate the anchors 90 degrees and attach the bear claws on a 20cm extender coming off sideways from them.  It would put you at 400kg but there's plenty of room to shave 1kg off the chassis.  Not sure if the effort of reskinning is worth it though.

Oh, certainly. They're not exactly going to be BBEANS entries or anything but all of the work stacking and glitching just tires me now. Probably should take this whole idea to DSL again but working with the old components feels fresh and should be a good warmup for RA3.

The Spike Strip is supposed to be a tail, but I suppose it's not as fitting as as it was for BattleRat and would save the weight needed for extenders. Anchors are packed in tight but yeah, didn't consider that way of adding the claws, will have to check it out.
