I did not yet figure out how you fixed all this together. I see 6 ztecs and to HP-ztecs (drive), bud I have no clue how yo did this with only two snappers, there must be at least two more. Did you stack them?
I think the battery is stacked, because one is not enough.

edit:
ok, I saw it now it's the second attachpoint, but this don't explain all. It confuses me.

I'm still wondering about Backscratcher... Is this an -acrobatic- hammer?
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on May 06, 2008, 03:11:02 AM
Cooker: are you talking about Yor Doom? if so, it has 8 Z-Teks for weapons and 2 HPs for drive and the battery is stacked

Naryar: its actually a popdown, but it likes to get itself killed most of the time. im going to improve the desing when ever i feel like playing the game again

edit: here is a better view of Your Doom. its not really that hard to understand how its put together, it took only about 2 hours with alot of redoing and effeing around.

Im not going to start a DSL showcase because i dont play it too much.

Note: I dont beat him at all easily, the winning rate is around 1/20 and I have defated him 3 times wit this bot.

Post by: man manu on July 13, 2008, 06:19:07 AM
i'm guessing backscratcher waits for something to drive underneath it the it activates both sets off DDT's so that the wheels colase and the weapons fire? good bots BTW
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on July 13, 2008, 07:51:33 AM
No, Backscratcher fires only the front DDTs when someone is close enough, the other set is the selfdestructing scrimech system... but the AId version is dumb enough not to understand that when it tips on its nose, it can just fire the weapons to selfright, it just sits there like a target practice dummy >_>

Its been a while since the last update.

This time I have a new rammer: iRam

I origionally planned it to be a HW rammer but I changed it to MW rammer
Here is v1
Drive: 12 HPZ, dont belive? look at the second pic and count yourself
Power: 1 Black, yes I know, not good for so many motors
Armor: DSA, 2 Snowplows
Weapon: 12 Iron Spikes
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84003iram1.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17547iram2.jpg)
I didnt take any pics of v2 because its basically the same
Drive: 10 HPZ
Power: 4 Blacks
Armor: Plastic, 2 Snowplows
Weapon: 12 Iron Spikes

v3 turned out to be the best one because it had too few weapons for a HW (not to mention all the out of control spinning + very high havocking abilities), so I made it MW
Drive: 2 HPZ
Power: 1 Black
Armor: DSA, 2 Snowplows
Weapon: 12 Iron Spikes

Yeah, it did take a while to get those in, but the longest time I used on these bots was v2, stacking 4 blacks aint easy as you know, took about 2 and half hours on just that.

Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 13, 2008, 07:18:32 PM
How is that a MW.
The Drive system (Motors and wheels) add up to 504 kgs.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Flying_Chao on August 13, 2008, 09:36:27 PM
The MW version isn't the one with 12 hp z-tek drive.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 14, 2008, 10:13:49 AM
Thanks for the comments.

Mad: Sending them in soon trough a PM.

SB: Chao is correct, v3 is the MW and it has only 2 HPzs

Post by: Clickbeetle on August 17, 2008, 08:54:42 PM
Man, I thought my bot Ramel Spider was extreme with 8WD... then you come along with a bot with 1.5x the drive.  Sort of a one-shot deal though... if you don't KO the other bot within a few hits with that thing, it's probably not going to last.  12 spikes is not a lot for a HW.

Does that bot go a lot faster than your average 6WD rammer, or is there a maximum speed you can achieve with HP Z-teks?

Idea: 10WD, 2 Supervolts, and use the extra 60kgs for more weapons.  Though 16 iron spikes still isn't a lot...
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Scrap Daddy on August 17, 2008, 09:09:44 PM
Ive done up to 12 back on the old forums but they were pretty bad...Im sure Kill343gs remembers and Ive also done 10 on this one pretty effectively. The bad thing with 8+ drive is the lack of weapons. Almost all of your weight is in drive and batteries so you cant have alot of spikes.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 18, 2008, 02:56:18 PM
Well ,it does go faster than 6 whleeled ones, but it spins out of control atleast 3 times faster, prehaps i should make a 10WD SnS?

SD: I remember your 12WD too, it was one of the earlier versions of DLJ, right? It was what inspired me, but I wanted to stick all drive motors in one place.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 31, 2008, 12:13:13 PM
This is what im going to enter in RAW. I also made a small attempt at making a decent splash with Fireworks.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6919Smokers revenge.jpg)
The wapons do go trought each other, but they can be timed in real life so that they dont.
The gery parts in the front are polycarbonate skirts.

I will remake it if sage says that he wont accept it.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 31, 2008, 12:16:54 PM
It might not be accepted because of the flails, and that looks alot like mine.
Nice Name
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 31, 2008, 12:18:39 PM
I know, I started making it few hours ago and yours looked so effective that I could not have helped making a similiar desing.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 31, 2008, 12:20:58 PM
Thats okay (unless you beat mine with it!! jk). Its cool that I influenced someone else.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 31, 2008, 12:25:07 PM
It might not beat yours, because it has some sability problems, wich go even crazier if 1 hammer is missing. Btw, I first made it into a diagnoal(sorry about spelling) spinner(you know, the weapon is not vertical but more like this /) but I found it missing 200kg and then remade the whole system.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: kill343gs on August 31, 2008, 12:43:38 PM
Your perms could be offcenter, its a glitch that happened to me and a few other people. Try completely rebuilding the bot and see if it still does it.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 31, 2008, 12:48:28 PM
No, thats not it, I tested it without the flail systems and it did not wobble anymore. But im not sure if I should change the entry, afterall, then the weapons would stop more often and still be going trough each other.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Sage on August 31, 2008, 12:54:33 PM
if you change the entry to non-flail, i will accept it. as it is now, it couldnt be timed because flails are unpredictable and the timing would get messed up the moment it hit the other bot. if possible i would prefer it if you didnt have them going through eachother at all.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on August 31, 2008, 01:03:44 PM

Post by: Clickbeetle on September 01, 2008, 12:06:24 AM
I tried making a MW with a heavy horizontal flail like that (inspiried by the real life bot Stump Grinder), and it didn't work so well.  The spinup time was so slow that it offset any advantage gained by flailing.  I think you need short and/or light flails in order for it to be effective.

That said, the design is cool.  I'd be worried about the exposed motors though.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 01, 2008, 09:47:23 AM
I think that by the time that anyone gets to the motors, its weapons will be long gone.

Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on September 01, 2008, 10:11:03 AM
Yeah, the spinup time was not too fast whit the flail system, but still fast enough to do the job, but it was also too unstable to be effective enough.

The motors are not actually as exposed as they look. The skirts make the bots front be alittle bit higher than directly horizontal. I have lost only once a motor and that was when bear pinned me to the wall...

Quote from: Somebody;13868

And yes, the skirts act as small top protection too.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on October 02, 2008, 01:27:51 PM
Yes! I finally won a competion :D

I just knew that spending 2 hours on the splash would pay up :D

The fact behind this bot is that I made it like 4-6 moths ago and that the only custom parts are the spikes, controlboard, battery and airtank.

I also saw someone request a download. Here (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Robot + components.rar) it is. Just extract to your RA2 DSL main fodler. It also includes the neutron stars.

Post by: Reier on October 02, 2008, 04:03:53 PM
That bot is awsome! Do you have any problems with it flipping over? It's cool how it can "fly." :biggrin:
Edit: that test arena looks strange...is it a mod?
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on October 02, 2008, 05:57:59 PM
The flipping over is actually the hardest thing to do with it. Because you need to be perfectly alinged and have the right amount of speed to make it happend and on top of that, the opponent need to be in the right direction too. In that battle pic, I actually mised Matilda 10 times and the match took about 1min.
Altough the separate controls for left and riht pistons help steering in air, its still not enough.

Yes, the garage is Mad's modified version, it has 2 levels and some other cool things like a crazy computer(Why crazy? Because it zaps and shoots you if damage it) and hidden rooms.

I was going to make this an entry to BOTM, but it is not going to work as an entry, because I needed AAM for it in a few places:
Controlboard, I wasnt able to get it on because it slightly touches the batteries even if it looks like its above them.
Snowplow, had to change it into something smaller in order to place weapons.
The extenders that conncect to the motors, I had to change them in order to place the weapon extenders.

is it actual AAM or are you just saying that because it looks like that?
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on April 27, 2009, 05:31:37 PM
It is AAM, actually I think botfile editing is more like it because, I switched beetween game and windows alot, to change the parts to something else and back in the bot file.
On the BW I changed the parts into neutronstars, allowing me to place extenders and other parts where I wouldnt have been able to, due to collision with the other parts.
On the HW, I cahnged the lenghts of the extenders, giving me enough space to place spikes all the way to the 7 part limit.

Also, incase anyone wonders, the BW weigths 173.something, dont remember now.

Just an FYI, I now know how to take another part that is already on the bot and place it on another part and choose wich connection point to use.
Side note: While playing around with this, I accidently managed to place a HP Z-Tec facing wrong way, while still having the wheel connected to its rear! And on top of that, it worked like everything was ok. Like this:

Not original. Just uncommon.

Honestly, it looks pretty average to me... the bot is fine but the weapon... weak extenders and unprotected saws means you will get raped by a powerful HS.

But i am surprised you did took out Hazcon and Enfilad3 with this. Can it do this AI-ed? Then it's much better than i thought.

I was making a new bot type last night, I like to call it:
Bottom Spinner
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95930BottomSpinner.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37663BottomSpinner2.PNG)
Stats:
Weight: 796.7
Drive: 2 HP Z-Tecs
Weapon: 4 HP Z-Tecs with 4 Irons each
Armor: DSA, 2 Snowplows, 4 Ramplates
Power: 2 Blacks
Everything is mounted on 2 Snapper IIs. The Weapon Z-Tecs are in the way, you can barely see a small blue part in the middle of them.

Its othervise good bot, if you dont count in that it fails against every bot type and likes to lift the wheels off the ground when moving and that the scrimech is not powerful enought to selfright!

So if anyone wants to try and make a working desing of this, feel free to do so but I want some of the credits :) (And a possible wiki page)

I was going to make this an entry to BOTM, but it is not going to work as an entry, because I needed AAM for it in a few places:
Controlboard, I wasnt able to get it on because it slightly touches the batteries even if it looks like its above them.
Snowplow, had to change it into something smaller in order to place weapons.
The extenders that conncect to the motors, I had to change them in order to place the weapon extenders.

Name: PloW OuT
Power: 2 Pinks
Drive: 2 RADs

Weapon: 30 Iron Spikes

is there any toutorial on how to aam or .bot file edit?

Interesting this bot should be compared to Slaying Mantis, because SM does the exact same thing.  Minus the failing against every bot type, of course... it only fails if you ram a bot at full speed.

The wheels lift off the ground because of the way driving in RA2 works.  When your wheels are touching the ground and you spin them, you aren't actually being moved by the wheels.  The game applies force to your bot's chassis in order to move it.  So if your chassis is pointing up (as yours and Slaying Mantis's are) the game applies force upwards, and lifts your wheels off the ground.

To fix it you need to do one of two things.  Either use lots and lots of forward support, or align the chassis so it stays flat.

The design looks good except for that one problem.

Wouldn't that mean that chassis that are respectively pointing up and down will both be slower and less stable, and have respectively worse/better wedges if they have?

That does it hydro, my head is about to blow up, so you better stop the spam or ACAMS just might give you a BANana.


As for the popup, it seems that I didnt take any pictures of it before scrapping it. But just try to imagine a popup wiht 2 pretty short wedges and ramplate armor and 4WD(the other version i also tried was 2WD with more weapons). as a bonus, it barely got under a WEDGELESS bot!

I dont see that helping much. But what just might work is to somehow get the snowplows further in the front and make the chassis go higher and replace the selfright with DDTs.

In theory, yes, but only while you're driving forward.  That's why my bot Heroic Sacrifice has such good wedges, and when I tried putting wedges on Slaying Mantis V, it didn't work (couldn't even get under a chassis wedge).

Firebeetle made a VS (first new bot in a long time) that takes advantage of this theory once he figured it out.  Still needs some finishing tweaks, but it has promise.

Yea. You pause, go garage, go back, unpause everytime you go garage and back. works most of the time. (not on axle breaking, unfortunately, but what you have is AGOD so it should work.)

Post by: somestrangeguy on May 17, 2009, 08:56:51 AM
Inf, yes, the whole bot is there, 4HP Z-Teks for weapons and each has 12 Razors on their discs and for power 2 Blacks.
I think im going to change the weapon motors into normal Z-Teks and add some protection to the motors and make the stabilizisers better, those 2 40CM black extenders only made it worse.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase

You would be better off with only 2 HP Zteks as your weapon motors.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on May 17, 2009, 11:18:33 AM
Yeah, I just did that, but it appears that  this desing is doomed to AGOD, no matter what.
I just did as Sage instructed and the bot was fine, but when I exit the game and came back, it was AGOD all over the place...
I suppose Drums are not meant to be built on 2 Snapper IIs...

I paced 4 axle mounts into each corner of the bot in a specific order so I could easily tell wich is wich in the bot file, then I just changed the X and Y coordinates of them to something thats outside of the bot and also I changed the txt filename to the one of HP Z-Tek.
The 2 batteries in there are placed so that 2 antimatter neutron starpieces in different places and later placed into 0X 0Y coordinates and changing them into supervolt batteries.
And the ramplates were also antimatter neutron starpieces, just placed into different coordinates and changed into ramplates.
As simple as that.

M-M-M-MO-MO-MONSETR BUMP!

Yep, I decided to bump my showcase just to show you this failure of an experiment bot. Why a failure? Because I fail at driving Popups and cant AI one either.

Reason why is: I have never seen anyone even attempt to use axle wedges in stock. They may not look it, but they really rule if you are a good popup driver(wich I am not). This bot goes under SC v4 Billygoat Gruffier like a hot knife into butter.

They do have the disadvantage of being able to sometimes flipping to the wrong way out during battle.

I was going to enter it into Raw2 but since Sage is running on Mac and doesnt have the pause button, this bot will not work in battle.

I dont remember correctly how many weapons it has, but I think it was 4 on the right DDT and 3 on the left DDT (from behind the bot).
And I think it has 2 blacks.
DSA
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27327Axel1.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10346Axel2.png)


If you do not press the pause button before loading the bot into the lab, test garage or battle, this will happend:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56390Axel3.png)


And when you do press pause and ener battle, this happends to all bots:

Wich causes and instant 180 decree turnaround for all bots.

Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 20, 2009, 07:58:23 AM
At what angles did you attach the wedges?

Because if the wedges were attached originally the way the glitch too, maybe you should attach them forward.
Title: somestrangeguy's showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on September 20, 2009, 08:35:06 AM
They were attached the way you see in the pictures. I had pressed pause so that the axles would be in their origional prositions. I also have tried to have them both directly upwards, that worked better, you didnt need to press pause but it was still unreliable.

only I welded the N00b Warz pits shut for Reier :-D

I intentionally picked my worst pre forum robot (recently showcased), I dont think my first showcased heavyweight would be allowed, despite it being made before I joined the forums.... unless Reier says its ok but I think the fail is funnier :P

Too... Good? They only barely beat some of the stock bots, specially OMGPWND, its range is soooo short. And Owner is the Best of these.

Here is another one I just found laying in my Robot Desings folder

HAMMERHEAD
(Yes I had a capslock obession when naming bots back then)

Or I could always recreate the true CRAZY WHEELIE SAWBOT in its HW form like it used to be, I just dont have the origional file and the one you saw in NW1 was a replication of it in MW class.

Lol! This thread dies when N00b warz 2 hadnt yet stared?

Well anyways I was feeling like overdoing BFE today so I created this thing!

Its called Overlord, its sligly underweight UHW but im pretty statisfied with it.

Some of the stuff that are attached are invisible in arenas because they are attached to the baseplate (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63140Overlord5.png)

This match went all wrong, our wedges went inside eachothers causing some serious backflips and noices wich only monsters make o_O rest of the time I couldnt get under him because his weddge kept glitching into the floor.

The list that Naryar gave me:
Hydrosphere - Match wouldnt load at all, no crash either, just stuck.
Electric Smelter - Not beaten.
HnM 4 - Way too good wedges on this, couldnt even outsmart him because he was too fast.
Dies Irae - Win by boints, very well protected chassis and kept bouncing out of the grinder.
Inhuman Treatment - Same as above, but with over 9000 times more bouncing around.
Robotic Surgeon - Destroyed, kept trying to bounce out but managed to keep him in.
The Inglorious Bastard - Destroyed fast, very easily.
Telescopic Sight - Well protected chassis and couldnt scoop him up too well.

Ofcourse this being an UHW I did try against Ultra High Tempature, but that was WAY too wide to even remotely fit in the grinder.

And yes I know this wasnt AIed, I just wasnt feeling like AIing this thing, it wouldnt even work well as AI because you have to drive backwards and forwards accordingly how the opponent bounces around in the grinder.

You should build to weight limit... lol. That is incredible! O_O

Thanks guys :D

I build it with realism in mind, it only breaks the part of realism where you attach to nothingness, everything else is made so that normal DSL realistic rules apply.

I quess I could drop the drive downwards some to give extra wedginess and give it some more drive motors. Its pretty fast for an UHW with 8 NPC Fast drive.

Fun fact: The razor arrangement went like that by a total accident. I first attached 24(6 each) of Small2 size discs around the bot and then some razors on those.
Then by BFE I moved all to their own Dual Perms and changed them to different sizes, after this I noticed that some of the discs had their spikes pointing down so I had to remove the spikes from those and move the empty discs to the bottom of their Dual Perm in order to attach new spikes.
Then I got an idea of rotating them slightly, so I palced a few Baseplate anchors each rotated slighly more than the previous one, then apllied those rotations to each of the discs and it ended up like that.

Also, this is a warning example what you can expect to see if you ever make a BFE allowed no rules kind of tournament. You can expect things crazier than this.

One problem. Isn't this a stock showcase?

he said he doesn't build DSL that often, so he would make this a showcase for both.
