(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31571Untitled.png2.png) I am trying my best but I do not know what to add or replace and I did use steel. I can show another robot in a minute but can I just say that I am normally not good at buliding. And I do not want to bulid beast-like robots but realistically good robots..You might want DSL if this is the case, because in reality, "beast like robots" are all your gonna get or face in stock.
Please use correct grammar.Not necessary.
Do you mean stuff like text speak because I did not know. And like I said I will get that done more for tomorow oh and apart from this topic should I go onto other pages about other topics or should I wait until I get my reputation to different weight? ( I am the questioning type as well) :question: :question: And for my first impression I like people helping me as long as there arent people who keep saying until you get it right and Im just saying. And finally have anyone heard of Northern Ireland :bigsmile:.I think your our only Northern Irish member. You complete our British isles 5 :gawe:
Not strictly. We've got at least one from Scotland, England, Wales, N.Ireland and the Republic of Ireland now, though. Might make the next Home Nations tournament I run slightly complicated, though. =]Home Nations 2, eh? Once that's on, I'll be off on a hunt for Wild Haggis :gunz:
For the moment, I'd focus on improving your machines here, though. Few general pointers to help you along.
Nifty batteries are almost exclusively used on Lightweights. Blackvolts for above, Pinks for below. As a rule of thumb, there can be exceptions. My poker is a good example. It's generally accepted on MW pokers.
The best weapons to use are maces, irons and razors, due to their lack of "normals", and they cause damage with any part of them. Axe heads are good on rammers if used correctly. Ice picks make an acceptable extender protector for rammers too.
You'll want to focus all your weaponry towards the front of your machine, as that's what'll be pointed at the opponent most of the time.
Shiny Hubs are the best wheels to use due to their low weight. Rubbers and Slipperbottoms (Grannies) can also be used in some circumstances when ground clearance becomes an issue.
Don't click on the Armour tab at all, and you will receive DSA. It's the weight of aluminium, but stronger than steel. Very, VERY useful.Just don't do it in DSL as it would be the worst armour there.

Use all the weightNot very helpful..
Ballast is wasted weight
Tell us the armour
The drive's too fast for that type of bot
Sage is gonna kill you
The chassis could be smaller
It sucks
Your pets are being skinned alive
You're going to heck
Live with it
GAME OVER

I also have a question about the RA2 wiki, is there someone who makes articles of new people if you know what I mean.Well you could either wait until someone can be bothered to make a page about you or you could just make a wiki account and make yourself a page (But you have to PM ACAMS and ask him for the right to make an account on the wiki or else it won't let you (Going by what TX told me, and yeah I'm using a bracket inside of a bracket, so what?!))
Try to use square extenders
I use ballasts to make the chassis lower. I do not like circle extenders because it wastes my time getting it right due to having only about 45 mins in the morning before going to school. And I have chosen to bulid 4 robots to fight Fracture, after I bulid them all I will choose the one to fight him. Now I have to go
I meant round extenders :PTry to use square extenders
OH GOD NO WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING!?
Seriously, don't use Square extenders. They're useless. Use round extenders.

I was tired...
But it really wants a wedge ;_;This.
I'm sorry but I like the robot the way it is and what is the point in dismantling the weapon just to take away 2 angle connectors. I can not add any more it is up to the weight limit and it is packed. This is just my opinion ok.There be a simple way.
What big robot on the next level should I beat next?I would say Neglected Waterbug but that might be a bit advanced (But meh idk what I'm talking about)
Needs a wedge.
It does need a wedge, though.
Needs a wedge.

:rolleyes:
It's funny, because it seems like everybody's failed to notice that that is wacky bob's bot, and this is RPJK's showcase.
could you try because that IS the only picture I've got. Anyways how have I not got my robots in the robot designs folder while on other peoples games they do. Can anyone think why?Can anyone think why?
Use the "Modify" button rather than posting multiple time.That, or RPJK is new to 'The Interwebz'
Hmm,i like how you think.Thinking OUTSIDE the box.Switch that weapon motor so its vertical.Then use the side attachment points to put MOAR RAZORS on there.Oh,and id say when theres a vote for when tournaments are coming,if Destructo Bots gos through,you may as well test how good you are by enetering.Fixed :approve:
Wait,wait,wait. Does that even have a BRAIN? Or is:
it stacked in the Nifty?
the chassis wider than I thought?
I don't think you could fit more weapons on if he's going to stay a Lightweight, but if you can, do what Avalanche said and use the side attatchment points.
By the way is MR_CHAOS AI a stock ai pack?
One with bots in it I assume :trollfaceBy the way is MR_CHAOS AI a stock ai pack?
No idea. What sort of AI pack are you lookin' for?
Ouch.Bad set up man.Ramplates?Sheesh,Be ATTACK minded.Switch that weapon motor 90 degrees,remove the ramplates and leave extenders.
Then use the side attachments to use a VS style.With MOOOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRR RRRRRRRRAAAAAZOOOOOOOORRRRRRSSSSSSSSSS.
I am improving it at the moment and oh yeah
Freeziez whats happened to Bots from Battlebots AI Pack ( I was reading the thread an hour ago)
WTF?No one noticed thats 2 BBEANS! STACKED SUPERVOLTS!THAT WOULD DRIVE 8 HPZ MOTORS!
I'll talk about that later. Anyone know how to make flipper more powerfulIn stock, flippers tend to be too weak really, UNLESS, you make the flippers rupt:
you can't use the BBEANS batt unless you've earned it. Shame on you!May his nostrils be plucked in humiliation!
Pyramid Scheme laughs at you. =DI'll talk about that later. Anyone know how to make flipper more powerfulIn stock, flippers tend to be too weak really, UNLESS, you make the flippers rupt:
https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Rupt_Glitch (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Rupt_Glitch)
As it says there though, for this, you will probably need to lower the amount of weapons on the flipper, or probably just make it a normal wedge for the flipper.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83456Untitled.png2.png)
Ok Days of Collapse can now Rupt.
What else should I add.
Second, it doesn't look like those wedges stick out. It seems to me that bots will have to go up the chassis wedge before you can flip them.
Third, try Axle Loading to get 4 wheels on in the same horizontal row. It's in the Tutorials and Tips section, but you can do the same thing without Axle Loading if you use Rubbers.I've seen the video for it too hard.
I'd tried the glitch but to me it is hard I'm not going to do it. Anyways its still underweight. I'll add a bit more.
Looks good, but I think it would be more effective just as a rupter. Cut it down to a Middleweight, too.Use for battle against Avalanche so it is heavyweight.
SnapperII's are lighter, and have the second AP, but servos are MUCH more stable. You get no torque vibrations with servos at all.Good point, I never really thought of that
Just a HS Or HS/VS.
with what?Put a small wedge in the front on a snapper or somethin'
I don't know about Seism, but my MW VS can outwedge R4 with Snapper II wedges.Yeah mine can by a bit.
Cant do that, so what should I add instead...yes you can. If you mess around with the chassis a little bit, you could easily add a DDT that doesn't rupt to put yourself back on your wheels. You might have to get rid of the ramplate for it, but it should be fine if you add a caster on each front corner to give some HS protection.
OK I am experiencing a problem. I am trying to stack 2 BAs a robot control board and a supervolt. Is that possible?
OK I am experiencing a problem. I am trying to stack 2 BAs a robot control board and a supervolt. Is that possible?It's possible but probably extremely difficult. What are you trying to build that would require this?
Just wait for the advice to come instead of asking for it...According Trov, bursted drive doesn't give a significant boost to power or speed.
But perhaps bursting your drive will make it faster/less space wasting?
Oh and you don't need the edges sticking out on the chassis.
Ah okay then, it will still help with weight though.Just wait for the advice to come instead of asking for it...According Trov, bursted drive doesn't give a significant boost to power or speed.
But perhaps bursting your drive will make it faster/less space wasting?
Oh and you don't need the edges sticking out on the chassis.
Switch them over now :PWhat do you mean?
But the razors should be angled downwards/ put on snappers
Im sorry but I'm the get rid of empty space type so what should I do instead?Please make that a coherent sentence.
"What do I do with the weight gained from getting rid of the empty space?" orIm sorry but I'm the get rid of empty space type so what should I do instead?Please make that a coherent sentence.
"I don't want to rebuild the chassis so what do I do instead?"
I get most glitches but I am still confused with Snapper Loading. Could you tell me a step by step guide if its alright with you mate.
Here is the robot in the Snapper Loading stage.Planning on using Tribars, right?
Tell your bot to lay off the McDonalds it's 2kgs overweight. :PInsert "NEEDS AN AIR TIGHT CHASSIS!" comment here.
No, like this:And how do you do that?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30554eFFe Bot.PNG)
And how do you do that?
Then what should I do?For this type of weapon setup you have to attach the HPZs directly to the first extender coming of the snapper to attach double razors. If you can, can you show a different angle of the bot?
...and I dont know how to do it.I don't build HS's either, I'm a VS, FS and Popup guy. Still use snapper loading every now and then.
I barely use glitches. I barely build HS'es. TT_TT
It's a rupt flipper Enigma.Oh. :P
So what should I do now?Get me a Whopper :trollface
Turn that into a HWYou don't know what the heck you're talking about. Please shut up.
Turn that into a HWNo.
Turn that into a HWWhy?
HELL NO it is a MW you spoon.LOL! But yeah what NFX said about the hammer
It is being kept as a MW.
And heck from having a look about the forums you're actually annoying so step off my showcase because only at least quarter-decent people are allowed to give me advice which = now you!!!
EDIT: I'm talking to Garvin not anyone else.
Turn that into a HWNo.
I'd suggest that, if you want a hammer on the top, then it might as well be a half-decent one. Get a DDT on there and two razors at least.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51623Untitled.png2.png)The hammer needs to be angled
Is this Better?

Maybe the plow should be switched back to a ramplate, you've got the weight for it.Done that what next?
Maybe the plow should be switched back to a ramplate, you've got the weight for it.What's the point?
Maybe the plow should be switched back to a ramplate, you've got the weight for it.What's the point?
It's not like the ramplate is largely superior in any way, the weight would be better spent on adding moar weaponry, or attempting to extend those wedges.
Turn the plow around, and extend the wedges then.Maybe the plow should be switched back to a ramplate, you've got the weight for it.What's the point?
It's not like the ramplate is largely superior in any way, the weight would be better spent on adding moar weaponry, or attempting to extend those wedges.
Because when the opponent goes up the wedges, the plow'll just block them before they get up it any distance. At the best, the opponent'll just be turned over once, but with a rupter you ideally want to get under them as much as possible to get them as high into the air as you can.
Hmm,wait,is the plow on the rupting flippers?If so,WIN.Well you can clearly see it's on a baseplate connector-thing. Plus it would be a bad idea if it was on the flippers.
Or be Scrap or Sage and use hax mode :DOWAIT....

It might work well with a wamming rack. It'd stop opponents going up and over, and keep them within range of the side hammers, while causing damage at the same time.Yeah I could do that but that would make it basically a clone of Clicks Side Hammer?
I don't think so. I also think the ramplates would do a lot better if they were on the front instead of concealed behind the arms.It is mostly to deflect HS's but I think I keep it like that. So do you think I should angle the Wammer Rack so that it traps them?
he has 2 blacks.derp, i didn't see them stacked.

Don't listen to freeziez either. He's right on your level.I will listen to what you say.
If you dont want to rebuild chassis' then gtfo cause this game is not for you. Simply put.
Noobs should not be allowed to give each other advice. It encourages generic-ism because that's all you know.
All newbs, to the bunker! I got tore apart by inf back in the day.RP, those words just unleashed heck on earth for you.
Can you please stop posting?
RPJK, it would probably be best for you to just completely ignore Inf.

He asked you a question, now give him a real answer.
Ok From now on this is a SHOWCASE not a noobish Playground of where people can say random crap OK.
NOW I am going to set a couple of rules in my showcase.
1. NO SWEARING including ones like s*** and p**s. However you can swear in a foreign language if you want. Dyna drewi. But it's fair
2. After I post a Robot up to 15 comments are allowed to be said. Bad thing because you may get a lot of feedback.
3. Anyone who posts randomly and say a random word like `Potatoes` or `Brick`etc I will try and make sure they won't be allowed on my showcase for up to a fortnight. Fair enough, but a bit overpowered. You know you can just delete some posts.
4. All the noobs who are despised by the `Higher-Ups` in which I Mean like good buliders WILL NOT BE ALLOWED HERE! Garvin, fair enough, but I think people like AwesumSauce actually do give some advice.
5. Only I can double post Here or the `Higher-Ups`! Fair enough, I only double post when I need to bump my threads.
6. You can go a wee bit of topic as long as it has to do with the Robot Combat. Fair enough
7. No spamming!!!!!!!!!!! No one spams showcases apart from Garvin, Hard Bot sometimes, and when the robot's are terrible (your's arent BTW, I think they're good)
All who oppose Speak Now!

Is it this any better?
WHAT?It does good against non HS's.
STARCORE 4?
Jesus christ you have a deathwish.
Looks a lot like Pysc's BBEANS3 entry.
Still it's a good robot.It's nothing special, it could definitely do with two extra irons
Swapping two irons on the disc for razors might work.
Removed three posts of spam.Why was mine removed ? :rage
Yes this is a ripoff out of Pysc's bot. It's not exactly a clone, but... close enough.
AvalancheBeing a retard obv.
What The Hell are you doing on this thread?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45728Untitled.png2.png)Because of rule of 7 or because the weapons will hit the floor?
Ok I'm trying to make a Bar VS but I can't add weapons to the end of the extenders on the motor.
bar VS fail in stock.C++ was quite good.

Oh yeah, my mistake, I thought that's what Nar was talking about.bar VS fail in stock.C++ was quite good.
That was an HS.
I don't know why you have that low rep, it should be neutral.Mostly blame Vert's for being a trigger-happy person on the karma. And I was a bit stupid on one thread so there you go.
why would your turning improve with slower motors, just why...Less of a tendency to flip over.

The same as one without caster armor.Pretty much, but a little bit longer. Or you could klone False Popup out of RoboLeague. :gawe:

Any help?Didn't Heaven's Sawmill have a triangular chassis?
your screenshots are horrible.
I would add some frontal protection and remove the wedges. As NFX said, they tend to be bouncy on VS'.
^ What the heck are you two smoking? At the MW level, wedges are fine on a VS as long as you do it right.
To AI that particular robot, you first need to name your controls "Forward" - for forwards and backwards movement, "LeftRight" - for turning, and "Spin" for the weaponry. You don't need the smartzone there, that's used for weapons that fire, such as popups, pokers, hammers and such.
Go to the AI folder, and create a new "Team??" folder, depending on how many you have. If the last one is Team15, then name it Team16. Add the .bot file to the Team folder, then go to the Teams.txt file, add a new Team (The Team16, the name, slogan, and a bunch of numbers. Just copy/paste it from another thing, but make sure to change the 0 1 2 3 4 5 line to just the 0.), head to the Bindings.py file, add a new team, and Copy/Paste a bindings line from another Vertical Spinner, then just change the name to the name of your robot, and that should be that.
list.append(("Psynergetic Vortex 2.5
","Omni",{'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':35,'turnspeed':3,'range':99,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5)}))
At first glance the problem looks like there isn't enough spaces before the list.append part. It should be 4. Like above.What are you saying?
How do you set the bot's starting direction?
How do you get the bot to turn in game??
How do you put the bot file into the AI folder???
It's easy enough to look on the wiki you know.
Ok posting to ask a question. What is a good shape for a rammer without having to snapperload?Depends on weight class. a wide U is good on HW and MW, while a small T shape fitting two HP Zteks, a nifty, and a baseplate anchor is good on a LW.
side hammers like that are only effective with a really long center wedge.

A really long wedge in MWs ?
Very, very messy
The weapon rack mainly, and the way you've set the maces on the side hammers, they're not going to be that much use.Very, very messy
How is it messy?
the way you've set the maces on the side hammers, they're not going to be that much use.
The first mace is surely to close to the chassis, the weapon rack will get in the way of it hitting anything?the way you've set the maces on the side hammers, they're not going to be that much use.
nope.avi
You do not need 4 HPZ's as drive.
You do not need 4 HPZ's as drive. Have 2 and add some more irons.
Also, how many Supervolts, I can only see one.
And keep the DDT's, 'cause it will make the wedge better.
So I change the bot into a popup or VS and if so how? Because I am not changing the chassis.Well you're not going to get anything done then. One of the main principles of stock is re-building the chassis, everyone will tell you this.
