SKBT's showcase
« on: February 03, 2010, 04:15:12 PM »


This is Hang Time. It is a HW. (I know using the tehcnodestructo arm and Judge burst motor is not technicaly allowed but it makes the robot look good and functional)

It uses 4 battlepacks and 2 PC454 batteries
4 NPC fast motors on vlad wheels
Judge burst motor for weapon

Nice. Is that arm attached to the baseplate anchor or a burst motor under it?
Anyways, you should propably change those battle pack to ant batteries if it has a burst motor.

WAIT! Hold on a sec! I just noticed that the background doesnt have the DSL gradient! That means you only have taken the DSL part pack and have it in your stock game.

Yes I did install DSL 2.1

About the Judge burst motor. The normal magmotor snapper doesn't have enough power to get the throwability I wanted so I used the Judge one. I know it is cheating. I am not planning to use this bot outside of my game.

Despite the motors and such, that is a very nice looking bot.


For once the mods did something right

or added parts of the stock UI to DSL ? or not copied over the UI ?

the gradient is only an image file within UI

He might have DSL for the download version. The one that doesn't come with a UI folder.

Nope... that would be Ounce's... or 123's...

It does look good though, but still CHEATING.

Because Cheating and normals make you gay, no matter how much you say sorry!

Should this bot be moved to the custom parts section because I have used cheat parts?

Nahhhhhhhh. :D  We will just learn from it and progress.  You have shown that you are pretty competent builder.  I think most of these savages are just waiting for you to post a totally legal bot so that they can tear it to shreds with constructive feedback.  We really like it when somebody competent starts a showcase, so you are going to get a bunch of attention. 

Looking forward to more! Keep building and have fun.
