Title: Scourge of teh Galaxy's garage! Come see my bots!
Post by: Scourge of teh Galaxy on June 16, 2010, 02:46:30 PM
Well, I've been dragged out of my house on my face to do this, so here goes.

Be aware, I don't do anything good, decent or useable.

Really, these wouldn't even win N00bwarz, I assure you.

No, really, I'm really that bad.

And I think I melted tinypic.
Maybe.

Anyway, here we go...

This is HeavyAxeSwingerDudeThing, my first (very pathetic) bot. It's been replaced by OddTriangulationMoment.

This is KillerSpike, my second heap of trash. It's been replaced by MemeGoneWrong.

This is OddTriangulationMoment.

I have also created one called MemeGoneWrong and one called PinCushion. I am working on one called DisastrousPersona.

I have a flaming shield too, just in case *holds powerrave in front of self like shield*

on HASDT, why is one of the wheels angled? These actually aren't bad, but they need less chassis space and front armor.
Title: Re: This is Scourge of teh Galaxy, reporting in

Also OTM is built to the weight limit. Ish. =P

But try and make the chassis as small as possible around the stuff in it. That's be the first thing to do.

but yeah, smaller chassis to start with. in case you people wonder, her bots do have DSA =]

OK... Limit open space, always use DSA, and build some more bots. And export them, to save them to update after following our advice.

stop doubting what others say. overall, people here are serious in showcases. 

OTM is nice, but needs less wasted space (it all takes up weight). i think the pistons aren't needed really, maybe replace the piston and air tank with a ramplate mounted on the baseplate anchor... or a plow in that way. just am idea.

So, I thrashed Team SPARK's EMERGENCY with this (no idea how exactly I managed it, but it got Destroyed PRETTY quickly), so I decided I MIGHT as well put it up...

Introducing to you all, for one night only... An SnS/Poker hybrid... Spiky the Rustbucket! *dun dun DUN!*

Title: Re: This is Scourge of teh Galaxy, reporting in
Post by: NFX on February 04, 2011, 02:17:59 PM
Doesn't help, Sparkey.

Initially, it doesn't look too bad. I'm wondering if Slim wheels are slightly too big for this one. If the chassis's lowered, you should be able to get Shinies on. Also, with the somewhat erratic weapon layout, it looks slightly unbalanced when it spins. If you have just the one piston on either side, and an even distribution of weapons (use baseplate anchors instead of axle mounts, you save a LOT of weight), I reckon you'll have a decent Trinity spinner there. Spin as fast as you can, then fire the pistons. You don't even need a CO2 Canister for it. =) But you're definitely improved, as GK said.
Title: Re: This is Scourge of teh Galaxy, reporting in
Post by: Scourge of teh Galaxy on February 04, 2011, 02:21:35 PM
Thanks GK

D'you reckon it'd be worthy of n00bwarz, or do I still need to work on it?

@Spalky: You HAVE been hinting that you dun like me because I dun make bots. So I made one.

Anyway, if you don't have anything constructive to say, please leave

@NFX: Thanks for the advice ^^

I tried having it lower, but then I couldn't get the controls on top of the battery.
And the weapon placement is reminiscent of an "OCR*P" moment - like "OCR*PIHAVESPACELEFTLET'SFILLITWITHSPIKES" *nods*
Title: Re: This is Scourge of teh Galaxy, reporting in
Post by: NFX on February 04, 2011, 02:24:57 PM
That's a bit strange, because you need the chassis 5 "clicks" high on the slider bar to fit HP Z-Teks in there, and only 2 clicks to get the CB on top of a Blackvolt.

I'd also recommend watching Sage's five tutorial videos. They do help a lot with moving your building forward. =)
Title: Re: This is Scourge of teh Galaxy, reporting in
Post by: ty4er on February 04, 2011, 02:26:03 PM
Well, it looks... interesting.
at first it kinda confused me  :gawe:
yea try shrinking the chassis around teh bot, try not to use axle mounts exept for spare wheels or glitching.
Oh and try and equal out your bot (symmetry) for a slightly faster and cleaner spin (Moar damage).
Not bad though  :mrgreen:
Edit: Grr stop posting so i can finally post something  :rage

But compared to your older stuff, this doesn't look bad. Everyone's already pointed out everything, so I'm just gonna say you're improving.

Thanks for giving me good advice, gaiz. I really respect the fact that you'll come to my garage since my house got relocated and have a look and even give advice. I'll try my best to take it on board with my next bot - Platinum the Trinityspinner

Post by: Naryar on February 04, 2011, 06:44:29 PM
You need more drive, like 4WD/6WD, a flatter chassis, shinies. And that attachment work isn't efficient.

Also if you want to make it a trinity SnS just attach all your weapons to pistons and remove the air tanks. If the bot spins fast enough, the pistons will fire out due to centrifugal force.

I'm looking at your sig, I want to punch you.

Reported post for being a dumbass. I should delete it, but I want to show your complete IDIOCY to everyone.

Now to throw TX out of the forums...

Post by: madman3 on February 05, 2011, 03:10:43 AM
It isn't as bad as your old bots and is a great improvement. However, as Nary said, it needs more drive, 4wd would work. Also, avoid circular chassis shapes. They leave a lot of open space.
Title: Re: Scourge of teh Galaxy's garage! Come see my bots!
Post by: Scourge of teh Galaxy on February 05, 2011, 03:28:33 AM
@madman: The point of it was to have the circular chassis. My original one had the wheels in the middle and had spikes all the way around. Then PR said it was gonna be too slow so I upgraded the wheels

Is there any specific shape you recommend for a Trinity spinner?

@Spalky: Just post something CONSTRUCTIVE, darnit!
Title: Re: Scourge of teh Galaxy's garage! Come see my bots!
Post by: Scorpion on February 05, 2011, 04:37:39 AM
Huh, what on earth did I miss here?
Well, it's an improvement, it looks like it could actually destroy something unlike the previous bots, but yes, you still need to brush up on the basics, atleast you're taking onboard the advice though, which is good.
And you should just keep the chassis tight, having a circular chassis isn't gonna help a trinity SnS in any particualr way really.

Before I show you, I'm going to tell you now - this isn't a serious bot. It was supposed to be serious, until RA2 started glitching it up like crazy. Then I just abandoned all seriousness and tried to mess it up as much as possible. I failed

I called it Glitchatron for... obvious reasons

Here's the standard pics:

HOLY CRAP, SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED.

What you've got there is a Trinity Spinner. If you fire the pistons while the motor's spinning, the motor will spin faster and faster, and the pistons will get further and further out, until you either smash your opponent into small pieces, or become embedded in the wall. Also, if you swapped the Slim wheels for Shinies, and attached the Irons straight to the Baseplate Anchors, you would drop down into the MW category. =D

Also, if you swapped the Slim wheels for Shinies, and attached the Irons straight to the Baseplate Anchors, you would drop down into the MW category. =D
But if I put shinies on it, I don't think it can move =/

move the z-techs down so that they are on the baseplate and then the shinies will touch the ground and you will have mobility.

If you have an HPZ attached to the baseplate, then Shinies will give you mobility. Even Rubbers will. I think the only wheels that don't move your bot on a baseplate-mounted HPZ are Minis.

While it is possible to make this a middleweight, I wouldn't recommend it because it wouldn't have much room for weaponry, so instead build it to the 800kg HW limit.

Find a way to lower the spinner, and add more weapons and another set of drive motors (though the last one is optional unless you want to make it a SnS hybrid).  You can also make do without the Nifty.

Alright guys, new bot!

madman said I should make an MW poker with two pistons, two CO2 tanks, and Z-Tek drive.

So I made a HW poker with four pistons, two CO2 tanks and HP Z-Tek drive. As only the second poker I've ever made, I hope it's okay ^^' *usually builds SnS or Piston Spinner*

Its name is "Very Underweight Wall of Pain", for... obvious reasons.

You could try raising components with the Ctrl button. That would allow you to use all the space in the bot.

But the best way you could improve this is with your extender setup. At the moment, you could remove all the forward-facing 20cm extenders, and just attach the irons straight on. You could also use the second attachment point on the extenders to attach twice the amount of Irons facing forwards, giving you more damage.
 
Scrap makes a good point about wheels. Combining 6WD speed and traction with the Piston's force should give you a lot more damage.

No no, not a clone as such, though their designs are similar. This one was just playing around with extenders to see if I could get them lined up correctly.

But yes, this one can climb up walls too. Horay for similar wheel structure

See if you can make the arms slightly shorter, as well as maybe thinning the arms to an extent which still lets you add HP-Zteks. It should only be about two pixels in distance from the grid.

I think kloning is good if you're learning. But you need to be sure that what you've "learnt", isn't accidentally kloning something else that you didn't know about. I did that with one of Reier's SnS a while ago. But you do seem to be picking up a few things, which is good. =]

Nobody is talentless in RA2, as each member has his/her own methoss for creating robots.
Just, some members are more serious then others at this game, and as a result, end up building stronger ones.
And over time(at different speeds, of course), everyone does get good at this game.
Scourge, you just need to find a bot style(HS, rammer, pop-up, etc) you like, then try and build the best version of that you think is good.
And of course, GTM will go over the same "Rate/Fix" process, give you ideas on how to improve it, etc, etc, and there you go, you have your own awesome robot.

Hey guys, just here to warn you... that I'm not dead


(http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/10/27407265661-orig.jpg)

This is a work-in-progress bot which is currently called Major F*ckup (It's okay to say it if it's starred, right? I'll probably be changing the name later anyways)
My intention with this bot is to see how many pistons I can throw in a bot of maximum dimensions. So far, it has 53, and I'm only just finished Layer 2


DISCLAIMER: I am building this FOR FUN (and to show you guys that I am doing things with RA2... when I have a slice of free time). I don't care what you have to say about chassis size or how I'm wasting weight. I just heard all that from powerrave, I don't need another one of those lectures

If you want to do something slightly less laggy with pistons, make a Trinity Flyer. They basically spin around VERY FAST and when the pistons fire, they will go flying into the air. Joe has some AI somewhere that he used for that epic challenge.

You should remove some of the pistons in the corners and put a hpz and wheel in each corner. Make it the trinity flyer fom heck :D

That sounds like fun 8D

How many pistons would need to be removed?

I really think we should have a Trinity Flier AI Pack.

If you put the motor on a baseplate anchor pointing out of the robot you could probably minimize the amount of pistons needed to be removed.
Or you want to mount the motor in the chassis then 4 pistons in each corner? I think? Hard to tell.

Hmm... Well, I'll experiment with that, but I don't have any time left for it this week... the earliest I can get round to it is next Sunday, and that's only if I can obtain the time

My intention with this bot is to see how many pistons I can throw in a bot of maximum dimensions. So far, it has 53, and I'm only just finished Layer 2


DISCLAIMER: I am building this FOR FUN (and to show you guys that I am doing things with RA2... when I have a slice of free time). I don't care what you have to say about chassis size or how I'm wasting weight. I just heard all that from powerrave, I don't need another one of those lectures

I see, you want to beat the world record on numbers of pistons in a bot.

Very soon your bot will start to lag to death though because of the huge numbers of components, unless you're playing RA2 on a supercomputer.

Especially that these components are mobile ones. If they were static, the lag would be fine, but loads of mobile components on my bot = epic lag.

Yes, yes, we know, you said it three times already, and I'm pretty sure you're just saying that to try and avoid the efficiencyfag comments that will not miss this bot.

Oh, you make me laugh sometimes, Nary, you really do

Is efficiency really all you build for?

I want to make a bot that will lag, glitch and maybe even crash the game. I don't care for efficiency. I don't aim to make a bot GOOD, I aim to ENJOY MYSELF making it

Efficiency strips all the fun out of the game for me
