I will start with this one. It has some influences from the robots of others in this topic section.

-
Okay, pardon me for asking this, but is that even able to drive straight? I don't see anything that would allow this bot to drive in a straight line.
Second, make it somewhat symmetrical. Your weight is massively imbalanced to one side, and will likely make the bot drift over that way if it can drive in straight lines. The lack of armor on the left side also makes the bot vulnerable to attacks from there.
Third, stack your weapons instead of festooning them all over the bot like Christmas ornaments. Use HP Z-teks whenever possible for these as well: Redbirds make for poor weapon motors. Heck, use HP Z-teks whenever possible anywhere. They're the most efficient motors.
I'll leave better critique to the folks who actually know what they're doing, but that's some basic info for you. Apologies if I sound a bit harsh.
-
tribute to stock? :gawe:
-
It drives adequately. Symmetry? I don't see why waste the effort. What advantage could it give? Left side is probably weak, although keep in mind there are 4 of the blue connectors with the razor tips. Are RedBirds fine for driving? I will try again. :)
Here is another one:

Is that an Emergency wedge?
-
this is like ra2 on drugs it's awesome
-
That last one looks like one of the coolest robots I've ever seen ;) ... But why 1 wedge at the side?
-
this is like ra2 on drugs it's awesome

I keep on running out of the wedges.
Light weight followed by a heavy one and then a middle one:

This one, unfortunately, cannot drive properly:

so much red extenders sage is gonna cry
but out of curiosity how many maces are there in that forkie thing
-
(5 motors) x (4 maces/motor) = 20 maces
So far.
-
You ever hear of Twitch Plays Pokemon? Basically tons of people trying to do the same thing at once. Your odd building style kinda resembles it.
Is that Atom Smasher's chassis on that MW?
-
Interesting.
Yes, that is an example robot.

A Light Weight:

-
That's awesome. How does the angled wedge fare against straight wedges?
-
I have to download AI robots that are more challenging. I have seen references to some but have not tried anything. Any recommendations?
-
common download is starcore v4. that'll tide you over. it's quite challenging.
-
Does it use the default set of components?
-
yes
-
Does it use the default set of components?
Yes. All default components. Thyrus' reply read a bit confusing for me, so I thought I would clarify.

confusing :gawe:

A Middle Weight:
(http://s21.postimg.org/rj36oha3b/test12.png)
The caster wheels are indestructible, correct?
-
Looks cool and wacky as usual :D Also anything attached directly to the baseplate is invincible, so yes the casters are invincible.
-
What's up with the 3dness?
-
Just a thought, you could mirror that bot, and make it a cluster heavyweight.
-
Looks pretty nifty. I like the samurai sword there for some reason
-
The sword is meant to protect the wheel.
What are cluster robots? A mirrored version could be cool.
-
Pretty much two smaller robots competing as a team in a larger weight class.
I know why the sword is there, I like it from an aesthetic standpoint and I don't know why :P
-
Why does this game not have air compressors?
A Middle Weight followed by a Heavy Weight:

-
Looks cool. The MW seems too underweaponed though.
-
I would have to agree. two razors is enough for an AW.
-
omg symmetry
I think the MW would work well as an anti-hs, but not as much else.
-

nah HS will ruin his day as well. hammers stink in anything but heavyweight, and even there you need a caster armor front to be effective, and a strong drive train.

Where can I figure out all of these mysterious acronyms? I am a little lost.

The ramplates are probably too heavy for a middle weight.
That list clears things up a lot, thanks.

I am pretty sure they reach, some more than others.

Are there any contests for robots that use the default components but are built outside of the BotLab? I recently learned how to battery stack. It is time consuming. Robots built outside of the BotLab would be more interesting and quicker to make. It would bring the robots to a new level.

Sometimes BOTM would feature "anything-goes" rules where people could use BFE and AAM to build whatever they wanted. Howver, not enough members are skilled enough for us to host a full fledged contest.
-
Na way too easy to just make indestructible bots outside of bot lab. So it wouldn't be much of a fighting contest.
-
however, knowing your exploits in ra2 I wouldn't be surprised if you meant entire robots built from the ground up in a text editor in a way that you couldn't discern them from properly built ones...
-

You can't tell that something is wrong when nothing breaks after 20 million damage?
Anything connected to the chassis cannot break, that's why caster armor works. If you build outside of the bot lab with no restrictions, you can just put a tiny chassis inside a black battery so it can never be hit. Plus you can change chassis armor value up to a million just in case.

nono I don't mean that, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if he built a bot in a text editor that would be within regulation (nix the fact that it'd be entirely BFE/AAM) from the ground up.
I'm pretty aware of how limitless you can go with text editing, but I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if he just decided to build a completely legal bot from the ground up completely outside of the botlab
-
BFE/AAM/Hax Mode/etc, I am sure some people already uses it to save time (ex. Naryar). It's just something people don't talk about.
By the end of the day, the bot will still have to convincingly look and function like it came out of the bot lab. You can't even say "botlab plausible is okay" because then people will just stack every single motor/battery onto a single point.

I'm just going to throw out there that I pretty much trigger the hax mode glitch instinctively rather than spend an hour stacking an anchor into a nifty or more.
So essentially every bot I've submitted with any baseplate stacks at all (Even anchor x anchor and anchor x CB stacks because it somehow takes an hour of trying and retrying for me) after hax mode's release is actually tournament unviable.
-

Yes, you would need a few regulations.
-

Yes, you would need a few regulations.
at that point, why do it at all?
-
I am not asking for your support.
Regulations such as:
1. No components attached directly to the mainframe can be exposed outside of the mainframe.
2. No mainframe/chassis modification?
..
-
Well, if you feel like coming up with rules, feel free to do so. Just that "convincingly look and function like it came out of the bot lab" is literally 1 step away from a fully indestructible bot. Right now a Horizontal Spinner chassis is 1 black battery + 1 blue burst in size, and the bottom is already covered with indestructible casters. Unless of course you want to go the other direction and add more restrictions instead of less.
-
Reread my post, please. I cannot even understand what you are getting at or trying to argue. One common point I think I am understanding is a disdain for rules. What are tournaments like here? Rule-free? Are members not proficient in reading the likely simple and few rules?
-
Building stock is serious buissnes
-
Reread my post, please. I cannot even understand what you are getting at or trying to argue. One common point I am understanding is disdain for rules. What are tournaments like here? Ruleless? Are members not proficient in reading the likely simple and few rules?
What he means that in competative tournaments we don't allow any sort of BFE/AAM/Sharpie Sniffing because it's too untrustworthy. We don't even run tournaments for bots built outside botlab anymore with the extinction of BOTM.
We do have rules in our tournaments, and the common tone is that we never allow BFE/AAM/Hax mode.
I don't know how to answer your question in any other way.
-
Untrustworthy? Elaborate. How does one go about checking to make sure nobody is cheating in the usual tournaments? If anything, it would be more trustworthy, as there are less rules and parts of rules to be broken.
-
Basically, the "botlab" rule is, we will not allow anything that cannot be done in the bot lab.
We will never know if you actually used the botlab, but we surely know what can and cannot be done there. Anything deem impossible would need to either provide proof or be rejected. It is as simple as that.
Each tournament also comes with about 15 or more rules on top of that, depending on the host.
-
Untrustworthy? Elaborate. How does one go about checking to make sure nobody is cheating in the usual tournaments? If anything, it would be more trustworthy, as there are less rules and parts of rules to be broken.
If we took off the No BFE/AAM/Pixie Stick Snorting rule then someone would likely go about building something that breaks the max sphere and has a chassis as small as a pixel with everything stacked on that chassis and 30 casters worth of armor that would be completely indestructable and so no one can beat it. And then someone else builds something similar that no one else can beat that still can't beat the other one. So tournaments become a stalemate far too easily.
It's also far more convenient and quick to just ban BFE on the spot instead of allowing BFE and putting extra rules concerning its use. Although, this has been done before, it's been done on DSL IRL tournaments usually and not anything extremely competitive and even at that, it's extremely extremely limited.
-
All of you keep bringing up the castors, which I specifically said would not be legal. You also brought up chassis modification, which I said would not be legal. Hopeless.

Sorry if we're not understanding you correctly.
You started off by saying that you recently learned how to stack batteries, and that it was time consuming, and doing it outside of the bot lab would be quicker.
If you want to make a contest where you can use this "quicker" method, you then agreed it needed some regulations. However, with the regulations you imposed, there's no reason to do anything outside of the bot lab when we can just use HAX MODE.
What exactly do you see as the benefit of your new contest?
-
Thanks for being clear. I would add to your reputation if I knew how. It looks like I need to read about HAX MODE.
Software outside of the game would be able to do things such as:
1. As many of a component wished to be at the exact same coordinates
2. Presets of attached component groups
3. Accuracy in general
4. Mirroring/symmetry with the click of a button
5. Procedurally generated robots
Those are just a few ideas I came up with now.
-
Me and Scrap and R0B0 put together a nice guide for HAX MODE here:
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=7468.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=7468.0)
-
Thanks. HAX MODE appears to be fine for some robots. But what happens if you need some batteries?
Now, as you can see, I have some batteries:

At least you won't run out of power
-
yeezus thats a lot of blacks. Over 100 by the looks of it.
-
no one bot should have all that power
-

Exactly 101 batteries. :)
I forgot to show this:

Only 21 motors. I tried 101 but it froze the game.

This one needs an upgrade:
(http://s4.postimg.org/gwaywoekd/screenshot_34.png)
-
Indeed it does. This an earlier bot of yours? It looks so different compared to your other stuff, it's like a completely different builder or something...
-
One of the very first. I was trying to copy aspects from a few of the default computer robots. It is not very good. I do not even know if it drives. I figured I would multiply all the components by 10. That would improve it, right?
-
Is that Ronin's chassis? I guess it would make more sense if it was just a good replica. I think you should either make this a middleweight, or start cutting corners for more weapons. Using DSA (if you haven't already done so), two pinks (again, if not already done), a small wedge, a SnapperII, regular Z-teks, and shiny hub wheels can help free up some weight. You could also get rid of the rear chassis slope, but personally I think it looks cool, plus it can be helpful at the lightweight level. With the extra weight, at the very least you could add more wammer weapons by angling the baseplate anchor a few degrees forward rather than straight up. Try to go for 4 irons to start.
-
I figured I would multiply all the components by 10. That would improve it, right?
Not all of the components. (Woo Lightweight with 10 HP-Zteks, 10 wedges, and 10 control boards!)
Instead of putting weapons on the very top, I would just use angled anchors and put them at the front.
-
That would be hilarious but if you're going a serious bot I wouldn't do it.
I should revive some of my old old old bots that stopped existing in 2009...
-
Sorry Fracture (and WackyBob), I appreciate the advice very much, but I was not meaning to improve the robot by conventional means.

Giant maces, unless that's some trick of perspective. Have you been playing with the transformation matrices in the bot file?
-
I have not put enough time into understanding the quaternion rotations. The giant looking effect was made on accident. It is skewed weirdly.
I did not mean to insult anyone. The design seems above average.

venko spent decades in the bot lab, stacking all his components. This guy just copy and pastes lines of BFE code.

no hate on shed at all, i just think it's funny how much people are fawning over BFE bots. Yea they are ridiculous looking, but the game is more than just coding. IMO his newest HW bot are way more interesting.

Copy and paste? Perhaps you should demonstrate some of your own considering it is just copy and pastes. From what you mentioned it seems that even you can do it.

But it is copy/paste, plus adjusting 1st and 4th line of each component when applicable, and change the total count up on top.

Let him show some work.

lol im shedrift

Very good.

It's not good, it's just the same component that has been spammed by copy and pasting lines from the file. It can't do anything and it doesn't even look good, and to be frank anybody can do it if they know how to change two numbers.

How long did it take you? If it took more than 5 seconds, then you are inefficient.

Call him inefficient again and I'll stick your BFE'd maces up your poopshoot

Nah, you're liked well here. Trust me.

We have already seen the other great stuff you do in Stock, like the Forkie with all the maces, and the asymmetrical things that look vicious and we want you to keep doing those things.

you get along just fine! your normal stock bots are awesome and unique. I think it's really cool that you are having fun with BFE. I just don't like it when you discredit venko's work when he did such insane stuff in the bot lab.

With regards to BFE-ing things...
Wouldn't it all, like, ya' know, just collapse in on itself upon entering any sort of arena? If so; Just make a giant block of mace balls, and then let them scatter all over everything as a form of bizarro caltrops.

It depends on what you are attaching to.

This is a cool idea and you should do it. I've done it with a couple razors before, so I know it works in principle.

However, do not forget that all of the components not attached to the base of the robot, unless attached to another component, will be placed at the center of the robot at the start.

Oh right. ...So more like a bizarro landmine then. If only there were some way to get them to scatter. Maybe if you attached weapons on long vertical extenders, so they all fell over in different directions at the start of the match.
Edit: OR, you could make a whole bunch of tiny 1-square chassises (chassi? I don't know), scatter those around, and attach weapons to the baseplate. Chassis still get centered, but you can offset the actual coordinate points to scatter them.

ooh very interesting design, nicely done :D

i love you

Looks insane but I question how effective that weapon will be. Juggling potential seems lacking, and grinding for short periods of time rarely does much damage.

Sage, you may be right. I have to test it.
