rnifnuf's Stock Cavalcade of Crap

[Naryar]

oh hi exterminatus

> implying most baseplate popup designs are novel and creative

> implying jonzu didn't cloned exterminatus from another similar design

[Jonzu95]

Well it just looks like exterminatus...

[rnifnuf]

Back on topic (assuming we were off-topic)...

I made slight modifications to Dell Stripes. I shortened to 40cm (as opposed to 60) because if the wedges were 60cm long, then DS couldn't self-right to save a dying kitten. And so, the wedges shall remain 40cm long until I think of a way to lengthen the wedges and keep it self-righteous and a dying kitten is saved

You are a liar. That skin is just fine. Your laptop had nothing to do with these supposed blue stripes.

I am not a liar! Want proof? Here is a view of Dell Stripes from the outside:


I told you my laptop screwed up the skin. See, I am an honest and trustworthy person. In its defense, this thing was up in the stratosphere for five hours and originally had Windows Vista on it.

Also, just in case you wanted to see/download it:

This is the skin file used by Dell Stripes, converted into a PNG for your convenience. It looks really freaking freaky if you look at it from the right angle and zoom level.

Thoughts?

[ty4er]

see if you can put the ramplates on seperate baseplate anchors and try to get them further to the sides

[rnifnuf]

I already tried that, ty4er, and it didn't work T_T

What I am going to try instead is turn the 20cm extenders that the ramplates are mounted on into 40cm ones.

I shall update this post later when that is done...

UPDATE: My plan to conquer the universe using only a stick widen the ramplates worked!



DS is expressing his distaste in American politicians. Actually the way that the ramplates are tilted kinda reminds me of Naryar's GTM avatar.

Thoughts?

Getting so much better in such a short time!

Also, why is my mute date in your signature...

[rnifnuf]

Getting so much better in such a short time!

Thank you for the compliment <-- I am like that irl, except I am not green.

Also, your mute date is in my signature because I thought that it was ironic (and somewhat funny) that such a respected user got muted. I'll remove it if you want me to.

Please don't hurt me if my stock bots have red extenders...

Haha no I thought it was funny. Didn't think you new guys even knew who I was lol

I officially believe in your magical beard, Sage.

36HS take 2. Aaaaaand ACTION!

I have time to fiddle around with fuddy-duddy MW popups later. For now, it is time...

TIME TO UNLEASH THE BASTARD!!!


Armor is DSA+6 Belly casters.

Meet Bloodthirsty Bastard, my second attempt at a 36HS after the first (the one with pole spikes) failed miserably.

It has everything a 36HS should have (according to the wiki): two supervolts (stacked), 4 HPZ for weapon motors, 2WD HPZ with Grannies, and DSA armor. The wiki says that a true 36HS needs to have irons or maces, but I once heard R0B0SH4RK say that the wiki is biased and is a bad resource for more seasoned builders.

I'm no seasoned builder, but I agree with R0B0. There are too many holes in the wiki. For example, there is no page on the snapper2 burst motors and most of the DSL motors don't have their own pages. I mostly rely on the beetlebros. stock building tutorial and only check the wiki to learn useless crap about the other forum members.

Back to the Bastard, its favorite snack is a tie between three EMERGENCIES at once and Burgerville milkshakes.

Bear claws because 090901 said that they were much better than pole spikes. Also, Bear claws are more efficient (using Clickbeetle's efficiency formula) than maces IIRC.

There is empty space because I originally thought that the chassis needed to be wider than it really needed to be. I won't change it because I am lazee. But hey, at least I am honest and doesn't keep secrets from people.

Sage. https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=9641.msg477874#msg477874

I know that it isn't the best 36HS out there, but it is the best thing I have built in Stock so far, though it suffers from an odd glitch on the right drive motor (this pic was taken from the front of the bot) where the axle is not in its normal place and the wheel shakes whenever the axle turns. It must be karma from the Bastard's ridiculous blood lust.

  Highly destructive, battery lasts long enough to see its opponent/victim die, invertible, belly casters.
  Slow drive, exposed motors make it popup food

Enough of my nOnSeNsE rambling, now it is your turn to state your opinion on the Bastard.

In other words: Thoughts?

[090901]

Do you know how to snapper load? If not you should learn how to, since then you can easily place all the motors on each side on one 20cm extender.

[Sage]

I do have a video tutorial on Snapper loading. Seeing as you dug up my old iron spaghetti thread, I'm sure you know where to find it.

[rnifnuf]

UNLEASH HIM AGAIN!!!


I took the advice of 090901 and Sage and snapper loaded the drive motors onto the Bastard. This saved 8Kg, which was used on a seventh belly caster.

I already knew how to snapper load when building the Bastard, I just didn't think of doing it

Technically, I would have had enough weight for a seventh belly caster, SLD (Snapper Loaded Drive) or not, but I thought that I should do what the vets suggested that I do. Now, I have some weight left over for an eighth belly caster, but I don't have anywhere on the chassis to put it

Thoughts?

Also...

I unstacked the supervolts and used the remaining one for something else

This is the "something else" that received Dell Stripes' extra supervolt when I separated them.. I was hinting the existence of BB when I was showcasing Dell Stripes. I even said when DS first surfaced:

Well, back to the old drawing board for the worst 36HS.

The Worst 36HS is no longer...

[rnifnuf]

Blatant bump alert.

And now, a lightweight:


Armor is DSA. The name? Roly Poly.
Continuing with the remakes of Stock AI bots, I made this dastardly device to replace Team Prehistoric's rammer Roly Poly. Those are six axe heads, in two rows of three stacked axes because 3*2=6 (HOORAY FOR MATH!).

This thing is one of the fastest and most destructive lightweights I have ever made. But perhaps I will downgrade the armor to plastic and add another axe head.

 

• VERY fast
• Tight chassis
• Powerful weaponry

 

• Exposed chassis
• HS/SNS food

I might use the remakes for an AI pack, but that isn't certain.

EDIT: Also invertible

Thoughts?

[Jonzu95]

Invertible or not?

[Fracture]

Don't really see the point of stacking all the axes together; like you mentioned it makes it HS food. I'd make the weapon "rack" wider to make it more stable and less vulnerable to HS, even if it increases chassis space. And go for a weapon without normals; it'll do more damage even with a rammer. I like irons, or maces if it's a SnapperII setup.

[Mr. AS]

Using PNG's cause the quality is better.

(Image removed from quote.)

Torment - 6 lower razors (new personal record) and 3 upper razors.

Popup and -less of a- HS killer. Also one-hit-KO bot.

I can get you screenshots if anyone wants some...

but yeah... you should really get more weapons on there if you dont want it to just explode and die the moment it sees any sort of HS. maybe have a single row of weapons with irons, and/or  use 2 pinks instead of a nifty.

[rnifnuf]

Update.


Armor is still DSA.

The bottom-center is actually three razors stacked together, so there are 8 razors in total.

Thoughts?

[Mr. AS]

looks better, but that H chassis you have going on is wasting weight. a chassis setup like this:

...should save more than a few kgs. then you might be able to upgrade some of the razors to irons or maces.

[rnifnuf]

Is this acceptable?



It has high and low irons to attack both spinners and wedges.

[Mr. AS]

yeah, that chassis looks alright. you could always use 2 sideways BA's instead of a 1 BA + t connector setup to make sure you cant lose your whole rack in 1 hit, and save a whole 1kg too.
