Post by: Naryar on January 09, 2009, 06:30:01 AM: Well, not bad at all for a newcomer.

Criticism you asked on El Bandito:
- You should maybe add more frontal defense.

- You may also consider rebuilding the chassis and making a smaller one.

- Avoid pink batteries especially on a HW

- Snowplows placed like that (behind the spinners) are pretty much useless. You should move them to protect your spinner motors, and for saving weight you should attach it on the Snappers holding your spinners, not on different snappers.

- It's underpowered - adding a nifty would be nice.

-6 irons on a HW HS is insufficient.

Popup looks nice, although i would add side defense for warding off HS.

Does it have Double strength aluminium armor? (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=DSA)

Before you ask, Look at the front of flippity doo dah.

Post by: Naryar on January 09, 2009, 07:34:39 AM: Nonsense.

Ant batts have three cylindrical elements; these things you can see have two rectangular elements.

Secondly, in no way that guy has DSL parts in that game : look at the damn components tab.

C'mon Sys32, I would at least hope you would be able to identify a DDT Motor by now.

Post by: somestrangeguy on January 09, 2009, 08:42:02 AM: The DDTs were obvious, but I do also want to see the insides, because I have really bad feeling that it has RAD drive and nifty in there

Post by: System32 on January 09, 2009, 11:05:17 AM: DDTs have orange outlines?

Post by: kill343gs on January 09, 2009, 02:20:58 PM: So are we...

The popup looks decent from what I can see, but I want internals before I can really judge.

Post by: R1885 on January 09, 2009, 02:55:18 PM: HW, not realy that great. But you got the idea.
MW, Looks decent, but I would like to see the insides.

Post by: Zirikki on January 09, 2009, 05:37:50 PM: El Bandito:
More weapons
Replace snappers with baseplate anchors
Make side plows parallel with chassis, the angle extenders waste weight and don't do much in this situation

Flipidy-Doo-Da looks good, but without a picture of the inside I can't offer much advice.

Glad to see a new face around here, I'm looking forward to seeing what you build next.

heres flipidy's inside (the pinks are quad stacked) i fixed the popup so instead of just a spike strip it also has an iron which gives a little more reach and punch

and to nar yes it does

Post by: Somebody on January 10, 2009, 03:58:41 PM: 1.Good Bot
2.unless you like the flipping power, switch the DDTs with wedges for Snapper2s, lighter and less flippy, but much less space taken
3. Try to shrink the chassis if you use smaller motors.
4.You need more weapons, but you chose a good weapon motor for them
5.Good drive
6.Pinks belong on Lightweights, try to use Supervolts and Niftys.

Hammer of Justice has a single pink battery, and I don't think that one is a lightweight...

Post by: kill343gs on January 10, 2009, 04:24:26 PM: I reccomend using razor tips instead of spike strips. Spike strips have a bad weight->damage ratio.
Title: Tribes showcase
Post by: Mi Tribe on January 10, 2009, 04:25:23 PM: heres a lightweight flipper samson
pros: good flpping power
gets underneath opponents well

cons: back and sides vulnerable

Post by: Somebody on January 10, 2009, 06:00:38 PM: Alot of the same stuff as before. move around the plows, and that Vertical spinner is weak, and nearly worthless. Better to remove it. Too much open space also, and not enough batteries. Also, don't use normal Z-Teks, they only have half the power of the HP ones.

Post by: andrewm0304 on January 11, 2009, 02:09:18 AM: I say this to a lot of new people but you should just take a look around at the other showcases and see how they build their bots. Its a good idea to always try out some of the same designs too. For Child's Play I would pretty much say the same thing as Somebody. Try to make the chassis as small as possible and build weapons and such off of Snappers.

Well, i know, but it's still a single pink battery. Color-wise.
