Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on April 09, 2009, 02:41:40 PM: For the 1st, use Shiny Hubs. They weigh less so you can use more weapons. The only Exception is to use those wheels to make it invertible (I highly doubt it is though so just stick to hubs for it). Don't use Spike Strips. Use Iron Spikes instead (or if you know how to effe glitch, maces would be better). The chassis looks a bit too big also. Make a chassis that you planned to put such and such components here, not random chassis and put in components. With the weapon setup, just do the same thing you did to the second one. One under another.

2nd bot is pretty much the same as 1. Those wheels are way too heavy (hubs are pretty much the best wheels). The chassis could most likely be cut down also, and Iron Spikes are good if you don't know how to effe glitch maces. 2 Black Batteries should be used (it would be great if you stacked them if they aren't already).

Other than that it's a decent spinner.

Post by: roboman2444 on April 10, 2009, 12:32:02 PM: Ok i finally got around to getting the insides of the bots
here they are. the first one is OO1. the second is OO2 with the snappers extended so you can see the insides.

Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on April 10, 2009, 01:37:43 PM: Ok, now that I see the insides, here's some more things that you should do.

OO1: Change to black batteries. Learning to stack them will be an enormous help on this. HW HS should always (no exceptions) get 2 black batts. Use the Blue snappers and try to get 2 HP-Zteks per snapper.

OO2: Black batteries also, yeah stack them too (use 2 of them). 4 RADS for drive motors aren't practical for a HW HS. Instead, you should just use 2 HP-Zteks for drive (with shiny hubs).

If you do what I recommended in the last 2 posts, it will increase your bot's strength quite a bit. :gunz:

America's Economy
this is a bot that I made before the OOs. dual chained vs.
I later changed the razors to spike balls(iron spikes hit the ground)
plenty of extra weight for improvements( I will put more weapons on)

Post by: ianh05 on April 10, 2009, 06:50:04 PM: underweight, overkill on the batteries, chassis isn't as small as it can be... list goes on.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on April 10, 2009, 06:52:05 PM: I don't even think chained weapons do any good. If anything, it's worse because it has no torque.

Post by: ianh05 on April 10, 2009, 06:55:54 PM: chained weapons spin a lot faster then anything else...

take a look at my bots meltdown 2 (lw chained HS) and death touch (hw chained HS).

Post by: ianh05 on April 10, 2009, 08:05:29 PM: mind you all my chained spinners use snappers.. so maybe that's why mine get up to max spinning speed faster >.>
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on April 10, 2009, 08:07:20 PM: Depends on the weapon on the end of the motors. my first one had sledge hammers and took a ton of time. this one only takes a few seconds.

New bot.
middleweight
bOOM (Oscillation Overthuster Middleweight)
2 ztec drive
2 ztec wep
the plow is there to shield the snappers(if they fall off I'm doomed)
the first pic is normal. second is when I press "v". third is insides when I press "v"
the reason i didn't use shinies was it wouldn't touch the ground.
Invertible!

Post by: Somebody on April 11, 2009, 06:04:42 AM: Definetly better than the others.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on April 11, 2009, 03:06:12 PM: Way better than the first two bots. Try to connect the Z-teks to one snapper so you can save some weight.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: ianh05 on April 11, 2009, 03:52:10 PM: use the blue snappers, saves a lot of weight but you will need to re-size the chassis.

It is a lightweight! I have only seen mw chained spinners.
Is it overpowered? I could make it have irons if i shed about 8 kg's off of it.

Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on April 11, 2009, 06:19:59 PM: Those drive motors look like target practice. Try placing them a little bit farther back. And yeah, it's very overpowered. One nifty is perfect for a lightweight spinner. Irons are a must though for spinners so that's recommended also.
Title: idkmbff KILL upgraded
Post by: roboman2444 on April 12, 2009, 05:29:03 PM: i finnaly got the cb into the nifty. I repositioned the motors slightly. I got irons but still have about 7kg's left of weight. It is still dsa.

(its better to bump than to start a new thread)

I finally got around to getting the screenshot of OO3, a true hs but with a nifty and a black.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Somebody on May 10, 2009, 09:44:12 AM: Not true with the nifty, but really good considering how little time you have been here. good job. Now just work on stacking blacks.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 10, 2009, 10:33:07 AM: a nifty and one black actually is exactly the right amount of power for it.
yes i made a true hs a little while after
i like oo3 better because is is more stable.

very unstable and it uses green snappers.

Title: oo5
Post by: roboman2444 on May 13, 2009, 06:37:03 PM: i just made Oscillation Overthruster 5, a true hs
pros
-Invertible
-single snapper
-tons of leftover weight(without ramplate or grannies)
-ramplate
-grannies make it invertible
-easyer to controll
cons
-havoks if i turn it more than 120*
-rule of 7 keeps it from having a better weapon setup

it is normal with the wep motor's axels close to the ground.
plz comment
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on May 13, 2009, 07:44:25 PM: Changing the Iron Spikes to Maces would make the weapons closer so all the hits are done in massive single blows, like you did with OO4.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 14, 2009, 02:01:52 PM: ok i will do that when my bro gets off the computer.
also do you think a plow is better?

Post by: 40757 on May 14, 2009, 05:26:55 PM: Add a castor or two with the extra weight.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 14, 2009, 05:42:24 PM: for balance? there is not enough room in the chassis for armour.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on May 14, 2009, 05:56:15 PM: No, for protection against Pop-ups, and what do you mean you don't have space for it, castors attach to the belly of the bot, no need to raise them for front protection.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 14, 2009, 06:26:14 PM: i might be able to fit one

EDIT: i did near the front of the chassis cuz popups tend to hit there.
it actually makes the bot more unstable, more prone to havoking, and makes the maces further from the ground.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Sage on May 14, 2009, 06:37:45 PM: Ugh. Now everyone will be like "OMG i totally built a pure HS im the teh noob pwnzers" and such. This new weapon setup makes it so much easier...

Post by: Sage on May 14, 2009, 07:00:25 PM: No, just noticing how these things are starting to pop up everywhere, and that it used to take a good amount of skill to make one. Now you just have to be decent.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on May 14, 2009, 07:20:17 PM: yes it is quite easy to make one now with all the glitch toutorials.

Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Somebody on May 15, 2009, 04:27:13 PM: Then you only have 2 pure HSs.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: tankcat on May 16, 2009, 05:40:25 PM: What is the point of making a pure HS if it isn't an original weapon setup in the first place, all I'm seeing is clones of absolute chaos and tankcat popping up...

its actually a car for my car tourny.(hint hint)

it would fall in the stock mid class(stock ra2 with less than 4 hpzs and 4 snappers.)

i based it off of a f1 car.

Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Weirdo on June 13, 2009, 06:34:50 AM: Nice idea.

Maybe use round extenders on the HPZs as axels. You could even use them to try and simulate suspension if you're feeling brave.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on June 13, 2009, 06:55:44 AM: needs a skin like black with red flames or something and yeah N12s would look good
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on June 13, 2009, 07:16:19 AM: Oh yeah. You could also use EMERGENCY wedges instead.

And direct the orientation of the Snapper II to the side so the HPZ can bend up and down for suspension-like action.

And put a mace sticking out of the center of the chassis for the helmet. XD

I reckon it needs a real skin, from an actual F1 team. If you're going to do something, might as well do it properly...

I think Brawn GP would be easiest.

Post by: Pwnator on September 16, 2009, 04:40:45 AM: Is the bot using Impulse 4's setup? If you could angle the drive extenders, it could be invertible without using grannies. And yeah, maces would be better but it would look cooler if the innermost weapon in the extender would be an iron so it would have a better reach. :D

Is the bot using Impulse 4's setup? If you could angle the drive extenders, it could be invertible without using grannies. And yeah, maces would be better but it would look cooler if the innermost weapon in the extender would be an iron so it would have a better reach. :D
it is invertible without the grannies(took me like 3 hours) but with the hpztecs it dosnt work as well when inverted.

inf that comment added nothing

Post by: roboman2444 on October 10, 2009, 10:33:07 AM: ok here is my newest bot...CRYLIC!
it is entered in a tourny, and therefor, i made a splash for it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10494CRYLIC%20SPLASH.png)

its kinda unstable. the wedges bounce up and down.
if u want a pic of the extender work i can upload it...
it has the same chassis as oo5

Post by: Pwnator on October 10, 2009, 10:36:38 AM: Turn the drive 90 degrees and use shinies (rubbers if possible). Dunno what's up with the wedges, though. Probably a small AGOD or the way the snapper's mounted.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on October 10, 2009, 10:38:25 AM: i would use shines... but it would take me 2 hours to redo the bot (prob with everything on 1 snapper) and the grannies give me more mobility.

i could bfe the motors right and put shines on if its ok w/ everyone.

Post by: somestrangeguy on October 10, 2009, 01:46:40 PM: Its not worth the effort to rebuild the whole bot just to rotate 2 motors 90 decrees.
I say go on ahead and BFE rotate the motors and change to shinies. But if you loose too much mobility you can go back to grannies.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on October 10, 2009, 02:04:28 PM: k
and yes i do have to redo the entire bot... except for the chassis the motors would have to be effed in and that requires taking the plows, wedges, snappers, and maybe weps off... which is most of the bot.
edit: k its done. it is a little slower, but for some reason turns better. i have 17.5 kgs left and idk what to use them for.

Post by: Pwnator on October 10, 2009, 11:24:17 PM: How do you rotate components using BFE? All I know to do is replace a component and change the height. XD

Anyway, longer wedges might help.

Post by: somestrangeguy on October 11, 2009, 09:01:13 AM: Since you know where to change the height, the roation is the other number right next to it on the same line.

should i just put 40 cm extenders on the 80 ones? or should i just try and glitch the thing to heck to get 120 cm on?
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on October 11, 2009, 12:08:50 PM: Putting a 40cm on the 80cm extender would make the wedge longer than one 120cm extender.

Post by: roboman2444 on October 11, 2009, 12:24:45 PM: so i should just put the extra 40s on.
Title: Robomn2444's stock showcase
Post by: roboman2444 on October 11, 2009, 06:32:03 PM: dp!
ok i got extra 80 cm on the extenders... it seems to work better now. i have this problem w/ turning. it wont turn unless forward or backward is also applied. so i have to go forward while turning and that makes me loose matches.

here is the extender setup for all of u. the rad in the bottom center is for axel loading. You can see the extenders on the snappers cuz the are loaded somewhere off of the screen.

here is me vs vortex ce. i just barely won cuz of the turning issue(i couldnt get my wheels out of vortexes way.) i was supprised to see the extenders for the wedges still on.

Post by: Pwnator on October 12, 2009, 03:55:45 AM: Again, turn your drive 90 degrees. You bot will have some drive issues when the bulky part of the HPZ is touching the ground. :D

new bot, my first in over 6 months

Hexamace

mw hs type thing. I was experimenting with designs
1 black, dsa, 2 hpzs for wep, 2 hps for drive, everything mounted on 1 bluesnap. Has the same chassis as oo5, crylik, my mw vs, and omgykk, probably a bunch others.
6 maces( not enough weight)
100cm extenders to wedges on snapper2s, can self right with them
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89003hexamace3dash4view.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9127hexamaceinback.png)
what do you think?
the motors are rotated kinda downward at 30-40 degrees.

Post by: Virus Bomb on May 13, 2010, 10:07:51 PM: prolly because they're elevated, and are mounted on extenders that have spinning weapons on them. It looks kinda fragile too.

Time for a HS killing HS(sorta, it\'s kinda angled i guess)!

(https://gametechmods.com/forums/../uploads/images/43817Leech.JPG)

Ioriginally had irons without a wedge because it was meant to fight HSand most HS don\'t have wedges but i decided I would make it at leastdecent against wedges. No SCv4 HS can beat it. Leprosy is easy pickensand Maelstrom puts up a good fight because of the casters. I\'m prettysure it could beat a 36hs but i haven\'t tried yet.

It works somewhat like a juggler with the bots ontop of the tribars chewing extenders and the chassis.

Ps: You might see a MW version in some tourny :O but you might not ;)

Has the same chassis as oo5, crylik, my mw vs, and omgykk, probably a bunch others.

I apologize if I sounded rude or anything, but this is getting a bit annoying.

Anyway, having such a tiny chassis isn't beneficial at all. Attaching your burst motors onto a burst motor makes your wedges highly unreliable (same reason why Crylic kinda sucked). Just widen the front part of the chassis so you can add an anchor on each side to attach your burst wedges (or Snapper II wedges, if the former setup is too heavy. II AI's Kritical seems to perform well with Snapper II wedges) And you can attach your drive and weapons to the Snapper II using only a T connector and 2 extenders. Fiddle around with the extender angles and your maces (I think irons would be better in this case, since they're better at the scooping job) would be low enough but not touching the ground. And trying another version with the HPZs for drive and Z-Teks for weapons (better at flanking).
