Venko's showcase

[Venko]

I think it's 6V nifty! /badpun

i literally have NO idea what you are talking about.

Me neither.

Holy crap you stacked six pinks together?

You should totally check this out then :

Chill out, duders, it's an art bot, it's not technically a FSS, it just was supposed to look like a one.

1 black > 6 pinks.

Do You think that I don't know that, perhaps You will stack for me a black in this no-free-space chassis?

actually i only posted it in my showcase because it looked sloppy lawl

So yeah, I used static irons instead of ramplates, which should help just in case something prevents it from spinning. But yeah, it still looks sloppy.

You should use 4 HP drive for exchange for a more weapons + no static irons + less free axles but with many irons stacked on one axle (5 instead of 2) + one blue snapper drive setup.

I have HW popups, one MW popup, but no LW popup, so I decide to start one.
I know that people come here not to see a regular bot types, so sorry then.
The 0909090101 clone failed at my expectations :

I cloned this bot with some enhancements (better setup, wider, more sloped front, better "castering", 4 razors totally stacked), but it's still not a top level bot.
It lacks pushing power, and it's not so wedgy.
The casters do their work, they even protect the wheels when I rotated the drive at 180, and it turns faster now.
The biggest problem that I ran into, is when my wheels touch the other bot chassis and then my bot starts to drive backwards.

So I decided to make a different approach, but I miscalculated the needed space, and just before I was about to start the chassis again, I came up with an another idea.
This was the story of LW-Juggly, it have superior wedge to Zenith, but still somehow have a fragile weapon system and not enough weapons, also it needs a better way to "hold" the enemies.
So, any advices for his improving, or for the clone, or I should remake the chassis and try to finish the original idea for a popup?
Although, I dunno if I rebuild it, will the wedges be that good, Zenith have the best wedges in LW in SC3.

*an echo in a ghost thread :*
Hello...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Anybody here...ear...ear...ear...ear...


*thinking :*
No one gave an advice about the previous post.
It seems that there is no one here.

Anyway, I will just leave this Venkreations here, to oblivion :

This NCR glitch is useless, even with 8 RADs it still takes eons to spin and can be stopped easily by everything, and it will need eons again to spin.
And the enemy will not just sit and wait for You...


This can be good, if I find somehow more weight to spend on wider and taller cage.

140cms?

[Venko]

140cms?

I'm against this beta stage abomination component, that was removed/hidden from the final/original product (RA2) for good.
Can You help me with the "LW-Juggly problem" (3 posts above)?

[Naryar]

Been a while since I have seen a top spinner. It's been all flying guillotine a few months ago

[ianh05]

Top spinner? shouldn't this be called a downward spinner, under spinner or bottom spinner since the spinner is underneath?

[Virus Bomb]

it's a bottom spinner. pretty good but it might need some rear stabilzers.

why give blue snappers a pass then?

No free weight for this.

It's used on bots from the original AI, the 140s not. It's a leftover from a beta stage probably.

IIRC the blue snaps arent used on anything

[Fracture]

The first bot doesn't use the NCR glitch; it uses the principle seen in my BOTM entry for March 2012 and one of Pwnator's showcased bots. NCR is more similar to how a FBS works.

[Venko]

So, any advices for his improving, or for the clone, or I should remake the chassis and try to finish the original idea for a popup?

No one gave any advices about this one... ^
OK then, I was not around the last years, so can someone give me a pic of a true stock NCR Glitch bot.
I want to see a true stock Gyro Drill bot pic too.
And what is FBS?

[ianh05]

For the "juggler" that's really just an angled spinner you have these options:

1. Remove the wedge and make it just a shallow chassis wedge.
2. Downgrade to nifty.
3. Downgrade to plastic.
4. Use an extender setup instead of a disc.

[Fracture]

FBS is Full Body Spinner.

A VIDEO!



Sorry for the bad resolution.

Edit: This is the MW verson that I made.

NCR Glitch Bot

Messing around with the NCR Glitch.

398.something, 6 irons and 2 maces. 2 Niftys/Axle Mount/CB all stacked, still no idea how I did that. No AGOD, and no havok. Provided it doesn't move.

Gyro Drill

Imagine that there's a super-ballast at the front of the bot that makes it tilt forward...at least, that's my interpretation.

Wouldn't that just be an angled spinner?

Yeah, except the entire chassis gets lifted off the ground. Here's the Gyro Drill page if you want to try and make sense of it: https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Gyro_Drill

[Venko]

Thanks, and I tought, that this is a "Gyro Drill" type bot  :

Totally weak in a combat, but watching it spinning around without falling is a pleasure.

[infiniteinertia]

no words for that one Oo

[Scrap Daddy]

wait, that acctually works? dope af

[Venko]

Yes, it don't fall, the MW one can even bounce when the piston is fired.
The only problem with these is the AGOD.
What is "dope af"?
