Title: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 21, 2009, 04:02:01 AM

Here are two stock robots I made
This one needs to be built to the weight limit, advice wanted(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50274screenshot_3.PNG)

[/size](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84538screenshot_5.PNG)
[/size]maybe the srimech could double as a hammer?
[/size](https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51698screenshot_8.PNG)
[/size]This was made purely to kill small robots when I first began to understand stock.

That's my custom DSL battery! Don't have it in stock!

For Blockbuster, stack in a black battery. And is that 1 DDT for all the razors?

Second design is cool, but would work better in DSL.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 21, 2009, 04:08:34 AM
1. I have
2. yes
@naryar: might try that
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: ashman12 on December 21, 2009, 06:49:54 AM
i <3 the second design.


so it captures them in U shaped part and swing the hammers and fires the pistons at the same time.


looks fun to play with.

Post by: cephalopod on December 21, 2009, 11:46:44 AM
What you could always do (would make it harder to operate, but yeah) to make it much more trappy, is have the hammers starting closed, so you fire them when you wanna get something in. Then the opponent gets stuck as the bursts have closed on it.

I dunno if that's the approach you wanted to take on that bot, but that's what I would try.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 21, 2009, 11:48:11 AM
I tried that, v.hard to time it right and th hammers placed on the sides allow for a wider "funnel" shape
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: cephalopod on December 21, 2009, 11:51:27 AM
i see :P. Ooh, another spontaneous idea (ruins the funnel thing, and probably the whole point of the bot - sorry :P) is get 2 servo pistons/linear actuators or whatever in place of the bursts, and trap them with the pistons (move whatever you're using across the gap). This wouldn't do any damage though... and probably fails hard :P

Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: DuckRA2 on December 21, 2009, 12:59:20 PM
I would angle the ramplates a bit so they protect the bot more
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 21, 2009, 01:03:39 PM
how?
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: G.K. on December 21, 2009, 01:09:04 PM
Rotating them as you put them on.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: TriTon on December 21, 2009, 03:03:22 PM
Or you could take out the ramplates and use castor armor.

EDIT: Yay, me a superheavy weight
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on December 21, 2009, 03:44:12 PM
Rebuild the chassis and make the wedge shallower. Right now it's almost vertical. Add more armor via ramplates. Widen the wedges just a bit. Instead of bringing the chassis inwards in the back where you have the black battery, extrude it a bit and add a 3rd black battery. Get rid of the two razors on the end of the weapon rack. Use 20 cms intsead of angle connectors.

Hope that helps!

Cool!

Remove the nifty, you might have to remove a few razors to put in another black.

Post by: 40757 on December 22, 2009, 02:49:25 PM
While those Samurai Swords make it original, It's not a practical defense for your entire front chassis. Try ramplates instead.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on December 22, 2009, 02:50:20 PM
Blades.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: 40757 on December 22, 2009, 02:56:37 PM
Eh, still doesn't work.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 23, 2009, 09:34:40 PM
The blades would work better if the ones on the sides were angled out, instead of inwards.  Also, you can save a bit of weight by using 45-degree baseplate anchors and mounting the blades right on those, instead of using baseplate anchors + 45-degree angle connectors.  Might let you put on another piece of armor.

I like the look of that bot though.  You sure improved it a lot in one rebuild.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on January 25, 2010, 12:38:21 PM
YAY! New bot

2 Stacked Blacks
2 times 5 stacked razors
 This was a quick bot so chassis space is an issue I know.

It makes your bot look so much better if you take a minute and crop out the pictures.

We could make comments and feedback on everything BUT the bot itself.

Naw, that would be mean.

Nice popup btw.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on January 25, 2010, 04:46:30 PM
I don't know about having all the razors stacked in one place like that... I think it would do better against HS if you spread them out. It's a good popup.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: G.K. on January 26, 2010, 12:29:26 AM
I dunno Sage. Seism 13 had them all like that and it convincingly beat HS's
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on January 26, 2010, 03:05:06 AM
Uh-oh. I spot a problem. The sides aren't protected enough (and that's where most HSes hit first). use a Snapper II to attach the plates and you can get some weight for more casters for the side, or just fix your ramplate attachment so that the outermost plates can cover the edges.

A long overdue update to Mercury Monkey:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17420MM2.PNG)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37713MM1.PNG)
I'm not sure where the middle razor is attacked to.

And I might as well post this.

Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on March 07, 2010, 01:16:28 PM
The bottom thing isn't serious, it was a concept for an un-outwedgeble design. It's quite unstable.


EDIT: Has anyone noticed that my showcases get hardly any constructive comments?
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: 090901 on March 07, 2010, 03:09:49 PM
Why did you use the BBEANS pre-stacked black? You only can use it if you have earned it.
Also I notice that you attached a razor to the smartzone.

He likes to use that to save time. He stacks blacks for actual tournament bots.

Middle Razor is attached to the SZ I think....
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Naryar on March 07, 2010, 03:33:42 PM
HAHAHAHA ! Yes it is !

Or he BFE'd it to make it attach to the chassis but it is highly unlikeable.

Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase

Oh, and as much as possible use the 5kg square extenders. One thing Gallows is weak against are uber-HSes due to their reach and tendency to wiggle around due to their snappers. Ditch the dual icepicks and just add another sword beside each one, so when gut-ripper takes one off, your bot won't go limp. :P

The only thing I might change is the drive.  HPZ's are probably overkill when you rely on sitting still over your opponent and stabbing their top.  Then you could use the extra weight for a bit more armor.

Post by: Pwnator on June 07, 2010, 12:15:11 AM
RADs would probably be too slow just in case you need to steer. At least redbird drive should do that. If the bots still touch your drive, just go for Z-Teks.

Nice LW Sacrifice clone, looks like it might be better since it has a wedge. IDK tho, theres a reason click went with more drive instead of a wedge. I think it would have a hard time getting under bots without pushing them away.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on June 18, 2010, 02:53:28 AM
Very nice setup. I'm quite worried about the top part, however. When HSes go up, they'll hit the top part (unless your chassis is shallow enough, but this is not the case). But you can't do much about that with the weight constraint. :D

Oh, and it reminded me of this one:

(http://[url=https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20349suppressor.PNG]https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20349suppressor.PNG[/url])

But yours looks like it has a better wedge. :D
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on June 21, 2010, 01:08:37 AM
Ooh I like the chassis setup.  Very slick and efficient, and no external motors!


Though you're going to have battery issues, and drive issues, and the casters also need to be thicker in order to effectively repel HS's (at least 15cm height).


Still a cool bot, does a good job of not being a clone.

Can you explain why?
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Sage on July 09, 2010, 01:10:44 PM
Because you have more damage potential that way. You can smash them up instead of pushing them away, especially with your weapon setup. The weapons on the inside are not helping at all if you spin outwards.

Let's see. I personally don't like T connectors, they waste weight. But for this setup, it seems to work. I don't know what you could do with the extra kgs anyways. Is the plow attached directly to the snapper?

Same chassis setup, I think it's just as air tight. I had it all done and needed to stack one more black in to finish it of then it started crashing my game. :(


Simple setup: Drive on normal snapper attach point


                      20cm attached on the circular attach point when the normal point was loaded away a bit. This meant it loaded off when
                      the normal point returned to its place and so didn't get in the way. Then I EFFE'd the motors on.

Yeah, I imagine that would be quite havok-y if you've got something spinning that fast on a SnapperII. If the SnapperII's arc was vertical, that would probably be fine, I imagine.

Yeah, I could use a vertical snapper with the z-tek on the normal attach and drive on a T-Connector on the hidden attach.

Oh yeah, I can see that now. I'm not sure opponents would be able to get close enough for them to all hit at once, though, if it's spinning as fast as a burst-enhanced HPZ normally does.

You might have better luck if the blades were more horizontal.  Right now bots will tend to sit on top of them and they won't do any damage.  Also, if the weapons spin inwards like I think they do, the normals are facing the wrong way.


Possibility: If you can't outweapon your opponent, try to hit their weak spot.  Maybe make a long undercutting HS designed to hit motors and wheels, like my Trial or Charybdis.

I think this could get away with a Nifty, personally, and 18 maces is a lot. But will the one wheel provide enough mobility with 2 spinners?
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on April 29, 2011, 11:39:35 PM
One wheel is certainly enough with two spinners.  The two spinners can counter-rotate so there is no twist applied to the chassis.  It would actually be easier to move than with one spinner.


In fact, it might even work to use a Redbird for drive.  That would get it down to a MW at least.  You'll probably want to swap the position of the drive and one of the weapon motors though, so the wheel doesn't stick out so far.

It does look a lot like a splash I would make... even the font (Pink LET) is one I use a lot.  Or used to; I can't think of using it recently.


I would've downgraded the DDT to a Snapper and upgraded something.  Either the drive or make the plows flush with the floor.  A DDT hammer is kinda overkill for a LW.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Reier on May 15, 2011, 12:19:31 AM
*lil bump*

Was looking at the 1wd MW spinner there and honestly IDK if the redbird is the best approach. I was thinking instead you could change one of the spinners so that it uses the 1 extender setup (instead of the 2 one you got) and possibly upgrade the drive to HPZ with the 6 kg weight bonus. Then it'd weight 398.9, too.

It's simple, really. 2 HPZ, 6 razor, RAD drive, nifty power and a snapper II.
 
It should logically be capable of being built, but I don't really want to go into Hax mode for a proof of concept bot.
 
30kg of weight to spend on the chassis and extenders, I have a ~26.4 KG DSA chassi. Should I go plastic for more leniency on extenders?

nice, if its for robozone2 (haven't checked the topic yet) itll probably do well if it gets to the final 4 rumble
Haven't received any entry from S_M yet, perhaps he is waiting until the last day of sign-ups and trying out some different designs.

More like trying out different AIs. Is it possible to have different AI lines for different events? Or to have different AIs for the two bots in tag-team?

yes to both. It's more realistic, no rule saying you can't and will make for better viewing.

my VS doesnt fear the darkness ;)

i take it this is for ARBCC or NvF, considering the lack of 140cm extenders?

Yeah, it's for ARBBC, but the 1 bot type rule means more VSs than i would have liked.

It lacks weapons (you can change the weapon type as well), which you can add with the free weight if you redo this awful cage extender work  :smile:

Post by: ianh05 on April 13, 2013, 05:47:45 PM
These types of bots don't need as many weapons they just need to be able to avoid hitting the other bots weapons and hit their chassis instead. I should be AI'ing it soon so hopefully it doesn't fall through the floor again  :dumb) .

First steps in updating SCAI: Upgrading blatantly inefficient designs (chassis size etc.)
Easy one to start. Shrunk the chassis on Bird of Prey to upgrade to irons. Alternatively could have bear claws and 1 caster. Plastic armour naturally.

And used a lighter extender setup on VR Rino to add a second razor.

Looks good, though I would use a simpler mace setup and try for a black. And that external snapper arm might mess with driving upside down, if it can do that

It has a black actually :)
I'll have to test invertibility but I'm pretty sure it will be fine.
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: 090901 on May 18, 2017, 12:31:16 PM
i'd personally put all the ones on 1 extender as its way more durable and then use the extra weight for an HPZ
Title: Re: SM's Stock Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on May 18, 2017, 01:58:22 PM
The aim is to beat 12/15HSs and so the vertical mace setup is far superior. Otherwise the innermost mace does nothing at all.
