This was probably the easiest battle EVER!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Edit: This bot also has DSA , just with Titanium Skin.

You're getting good.

But if you want to go Starcore, stick to the small wedge. It would provide a little protection against wedge type bots.

And I bet that you could go under Emergency... at least jam his flippers between your irons and your single pole spike.

Somebody · « **Reply #82 on:** July 03, 2008, 03:50:49 PM »

Naryar: 3 Things,
1. I probably will switch back to the small wedge when I get Starcore
2. The Flippers on EMERGENCY were off in 2 hits, and the bot is invertible anyways
3. The pole spike is at the back.

Also, I have learned to not hit one of the bumped up places on the sides of the moving Tabletop arena, because I accidentaly ran into one, and the whole bottom row of spikes (It broke off at the T-Connector), plus the spike and extender on the Snapper, all broke off in ONE HIT:shock:. I was so lucky that it was the championship.

I want to see a inside pick for the back side of the bot...
This stacking the anchor (is the back spike on anchor?) inside of black is very good stacking for begginers like you. Congarts...

Somebody · « **Reply #84 on:** July 03, 2008, 04:34:28 PM »

Sorry Venko, it is not stacked, it just looks like it. The anchor is under the black battery.

i have been looking through your showcase form start to finish tonight and you have improved so much from the first bot you posted! well done! i think that that bots hight is 5 pixels? if it is then you can make it invertable with shiny hubs rather than slipperbottoms which will save you weight to add more spikes or something. or you could make that extender off the snapper a little longer and put a wedge on the end of it to make bots go up the wedge and into your spikes for more defense from wedges and more destruction! Again well done in your improvement. you could be a top builder one day if you keep going like this. try starcore 1.0 as that will also improve your bot building.

man manu: I usually don't use the shiny hubs, because it is very easy to get both sides of the bot stuck on a hill, and I will download Starcore 1 soon.

P.S.Thanks

Do you guys think that if I dowloaded DSL 2, I would also become a better bot builder, because I watched some Youtube videos on it, and I really want to try it.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #88 on:** July 06, 2008, 04:37:19 PM »

Playing DSL won't make you better at stock RA2. They have completely different styles. However, I think that for a beginning player it would be easier to learn DSL and get good at it since you don't need to know all sorts of advanced glitches and stacking techniques to make a good bot. Veterans of stock RA2 often have a hard time adjusting to DSL because they're used to making bots with weapons in quantity, while DSL makes a few quality weapons possible.

You're getting good at stock RA2 though. Spike Again 4 could be better, but not much. Any improvements I could suggest now would mostly just be nitpicking. The biggest one is that you could shrink the chassis to put the wheels outside the bot and save a few kgs you could use on more weapons. But again, mostly nitpicky, and I kind of like the aesthetic of the inside-chassis wheels.

Thanks Click, that means alot to a new builder like me. I downloaded DSL 2.0, so just I might be able to compete in the next BBEANS.

Somebody · « **Reply #90 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:22:48 AM »

Here is my new bot, Drumbo Reborn 4. It is the 8th version of my original drum bot, and the 4th version on this rebuild. These pics were taken in DSL, because that bot was in my game when I downloaded DSL, but I needed a little extra battery, so I stuck another battery (a DSL one) into the bot.

I know this bot could be made better, such as steel extenders, I just wanted to see what everybody thought.

Somebody · « **Reply #91 on:** July 10, 2008, 07:27:07 AM »

I also just wanted to show this battleshot

Also, my BBEANS bot can throw the car in the bot lab and make it do a barrel roll.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #92 on:** July 10, 2008, 09:13:10 AM »

Do a barrel roll!

Somebody · « **Reply #93 on:** July 10, 2008, 10:53:04 AM »

It was a flipper bot with a saw at the back, but I realised that it had about 4 fatal weaknesses, so I built another, it is different.

Flying_Chao · « **Reply #94 on:** July 10, 2008, 11:52:59 AM »

So, is the bot pictured above stock or DSL? (Besides the Battery)

Somebody · « **Reply #95 on:** July 10, 2008, 03:37:34 PM »

It is all stock (besides the battery)

Sage · « **Reply #96 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:07:30 PM »

steel extenders ><. srimech that eats way too much weight ><. HUGE chassis ><. heavy wheels ><.

Somebody · « **Reply #97 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:19:00 PM »

I built this about 6 months ago, with just minor changes since. I built the original with the drum outside the chassis and it tipped over, so after 3 more renditions, I tried to rebuild it. I chose this chassis shape because I had no other ideas for the shape. I built the first version when I saw Drumblebee on Click's site.

Sage · « **Reply #98 on:** July 10, 2008, 04:25:26 PM »

ok, so why did you post a 6 month old bot, if you just are going to use that fact as an excuse to why it's bad?

Somebody · « **Reply #99 on:** July 11, 2008, 12:19:03 PM »

I'll Build a new one then
