rnifnuf's Stock Cavalcade of Crap
« on: July 23, 2013, 12:27:37 AM »
Hello and good evening to you.

Have you seen this "rnifnuf" n00b? That guy thinks that he's better than to build in stock.

He's not.

First off, a VS. And guess what:

Surprise. It's Ripblade 2X.

This was literally built off of the chassis of the original Ripblade.

Yes, armor is still Titanium. Can someone please provide the Scrapper's font for me so I can change the armor to DSA and re-skin R2X?

Most of the first bots in this showcase will be remakes of stock AI bots. Deal with it... please?

Absolutely unbeatable... by stock AI standards.

Thoughts?

Actually, Stock AI bots have double strength armour too, so right now you have double strength titanium.

Good evening once more.

[warning]WARNING: What you are about to see is a laughably bad 36HS I built. But hey, I built it anyways.[/warning]
Please try not to laugh too hard at it.

I wanted to make a 36HS that was different from the rest. So I used 30cm pole spikes because I am smitten with the stock 30cm pole spikes. For 1kg more, you can have a razor with double HP. The only two reasons you may not see them on one of my bots are:
  • There isn't enough weight left for the pole spikes
OR
  • They refuse to stack

This is one of few bots that allowed me to stack the supervolts without hesitation.. The other one is a MW hammer called Hammerfist that is--you probably guessed it--the basis for Slammerfist.

As per usual, objects to whack me with are in the front lobby if so desired.

Thoughts?

1. why the christ aren't you using dsa? Don't tell me you don't have enough weight.
2. pole. spikes. have. normals*. and. are. horrible. for. this.

Normals: Normals on a weapon are the areas that the weapon does damage. Otherwise, the weapon will not do damage if it hits somewhere other than where the normals are. For instance, you will achieve nothing by slamming the flat part of a saw onto something, because the normals are on the circumference of the disk. Pole spikes have 1 normal; on the very tip, which means if you don't ram that tip specifically into something, it does nothing. Which is why pole spikes are horrible for this application. Use razors. Razors have no normals, maces have no normals iirc, and iron spikes have no normals iirc.

Pole spikes are rather bad do to the fact that they can only do damage at the very tip of the spike. Instead just use bear claws or maces (razors and irons are pretty awful on HS is most cares IMO). Anyways, you don't need to stack the razors on, you can just eFFe them on (there is an example to it in the link boombabyboom posted earlier). You can easily fit all the motors on 2 snapper with eFFeing btw.

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

In the mean time, here is a MW Popup I made:


Armor is DSA.

This is a MW popup called "Dell Stripes," after my laptop (did I mention that I am in Hawaii as of typing this?) screwed up the chassis texture and left blue stripes all over it (don't ask me how that happened).

It was originally an experiment to test how well axe heads worked on popups. It was pretty good, although I switched to irons after I realized that axe heads have normals, and thus, aren't as effective as I hoped for popups.

It has two pinks instead of one Nifty because there wasn't enough chassis space for the Nifty. It really wasn't what I wanted.

The snapper wedges double as a srimech or flipper, BTW. Also, the irons are normally concealed in the chassis.

Clearly not the best bot in the world, but it is probably the best thing I have built in stock.

 :thumbup Fast and wedgy, powerful weapons, can self-right.
 :thumbdown Exposed chassis, slightly underpowered.

Also, congratulations to 090901 for earning Veteran status   :mrgreen:

irons on popups kinda suck, razors are best for them.

i think this bot would be pretty cool if it was a wammer/popup with those irons on baseplate anchors/extenders and having razors on the ddt (which you could probably downgrade to a snapper). then you can make the chassis a bit taller and have the snappers on the end ap so they stand up, which would let you have a nifty aswell. you can probably make the chassis a bit smaller after that aswell (or just make the wedge steeper)

is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought

Building on Dell Stripes...


Armor is still DSA.

I decided to downgrade the snapper2s to the blue snappers to save some weight. The weight saved was used to add two more pink batteries (They are stacked). Then, I replaced the irons with Bear Claws, all elegantly eFFed on black extenders.

This isn't as wedgy as I hoped, though it is still okay.

Thoughts?

Coming soon: A better 36HS than the one I showcased earlier. Speaking of the worst 36HS...

1. why the christ aren't you using dsa? Don't tell me you don't have enough weight.

I tried using DSA on Worst 36HS... it weighed 802 kgs T_T

So there are 4 pinks in there now? Each pink weighs 8kg, so 4 of them is 32kg, when a black battery is only 30, so stacking another black would be a better idea. Also I'm pretty sure that putting that many bear claws on one ddt will actually decrease damage, because it won't fire as fast (correct me if I'm wrong).

razors are best for popups
You may also remove some weapons 4-6 razors are enough for a MW popup
Also get some armor ramplates are best but you can use casters as well

How about...

NOW!? Armor is still DSA.

The supervolts were surprisingly cooperative when being stacked. I was pleased with this game AND my laptop for not crashing at all on this trip so far. Thanks to Lemonism for reminding me that one supervolt provides more power than four pinks.

I used some weight saved for a ramplate. The rest of the weight saved was used for the anchor that holds the ramplate  :laughing

good job stacking the blacks, but this robot doesnt need 2 blacks stacked actually, 1 black will easily give it enough power to last. you could instead use the weight on another ramplate and longer wedges.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

SnapperIIs don't make the best wedges, i'd suggest upgrading to Snapper2s if you can.

This is not true, my best mw popup wedges come from blue snappers.

UPDATE! On Dell Stripes.



I unstacked the supervolts and used the remaining one for something else ;)
Those ramplates are on 20cm extenders.
The wedges are now 60cm long.
In this picture, both the DDT and the two SIIs are fired. I may not be the best RA2 builder ever, but I'm good enough to not put the wedges in that position by default.

 :thumbup Destructive, armored front, fast, considerably wedgy, thinks that congress is full of crap.
 :thumbdown Exposed sides, a bit underpowered, razors are too freakin' fragile, Severe issues self-righting

Thoughts?

Also coming soon: An inquisitive LW VS that I just built. It likes to axe questions and get the answers by force.

Judging by the positions of the razors, it's symmetrical.

Protip: Don't use SIIs for srimech. The weapon burst can do that adequately, and it deals damage more consistently if all the razors are rotated the same way.
