Even though they are messy, I do find them interesting

Thanks.

Its supposed to mean I'm confused with some of the designs, get your mind out of the gutter and I will not do that again, I don't want my rep down any further.

Who cares about rep?

Jaydee, I think your overdoing things, try to make things more simple, basic chassis designs and then expand on them

I'll try to.
Anyway, if I could engineer in real life, here's 4 I would build;

So powerful I tell you. Tosses robots out with ease but after a while the disc gets too unstable and havocs.

Right, the locomotion is tracks and is quite fast going forwards and backwards but is so slow turning. The flipper is quite powerful too.

Haven't tried it against another robot but trust me, it's powerful! 4 flailing spike strips at a great rate of knots is powerful and doesn't turn the base at all when spinning, which is common with normal FBS's as it has happened quite a lot with me.

Supposed to be a lightweight, it's pretty fast but has a slow flipper. How do you BFE the weight of a robot? I need to do it for this.

Anyway, something I cobbled together and was tryingto replicate Thyrus' TerrorBrother, I accidentally called it the same thing

but here it is;

Haha, loads of photos littered together! who doesn't love it????

Second question,
Anyone mind if I release a pack with all my bots in once i'm happy? Of course I'll keep making bots and maybe release an updated pack or 2 or 3 or 4 or more, but it'll be released on this thread. Is that ok if I do that or not? is there a rule on not doing that?

I like Body Count but the rest are meh.

Update, here's a new The Damage. the rubber wheels are powered by reversible angle motors.

Update, Promises;

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 25, 2014, 02:03:41 AM »

The pictures I promised

No offense but your bots are really REALLY ugly. At least make the skin look decent...

cephalopod · « **Reply #29 on:** June 25, 2014, 06:22:39 AM »

Yeah, honestly, I'm not 100% sure why you're showcasing these. Custom bots, unless they look amazing, are just haxxy. I'd recommend sharpening your skills in DSL or Stock.

Ok, I take it on board. There was a time like last year in which I built robots non-stop but... I'll showcase them if you want but don't be too shocked at how bad they are.

Non taken, I tried to make the skin look decent but it does look quite bad.
Also, i'm not familiar with the word haxxy.

clean up your splashes, showing a few different angles of the bot is fine but we don't need 10 tiny bot pictures on splashes.

Also no need to post the picture for armor of all things... just say what armor it is

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 07, 2014, 01:45:51 AM »

Guess who's back!

Some old bots in which i've dug up and new:

Fairly new;

Old;

New;

Old;

Fairly New;

New;

Old;

New;

Old;

New;

You could've probanly told which ones are old and new but all are very effective. I.E: High on Pressure is very powerful
and Money Trasher has a powerful has a great axe. You get me???

I would really prefer if you got used to the regular DSL components before trying to do anything "IRL" looking with custom components. Reenforcement 3-5 does looks better than your other bots though.

TommyProductionsInc · « **Reply #34 on:** July 07, 2014, 02:03:11 AM »

The Reinforcement bots look great, and I kinda like the looks of Radio Action The First.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #35 on:** July 07, 2014, 02:09:10 AM »

Radioaction... Eh? *eyes suspiciously*

Yeah I like the reinforcement 3-5 as well, the others are all a tad messy imo

helloface · « **Reply #36 on:** July 07, 2014, 02:29:53 AM »

They all look bland and messy.

Elementos · « **Reply #37 on:** July 07, 2014, 06:44:13 AM »

I honestly like De Weapon. Could be quite effective is you spaced the spikes out more (Maybe replace them with the small pole spikes also) and moved the scope tighter/closer to the chassis. I like Reinforcement 3-5 also.

Naryar · « **Reply #38 on:** July 07, 2014, 07:43:39 AM »

crop your pictures and make clean splashes. for now it looks like a giant spam picture except with bots.

also nice 15-bot dump... if you want more comments don't post 15 bots in a row. Posting a team is fine but if you want more comments, post just a bot. Or two.

Shield · « **Reply #39 on:** July 07, 2014, 08:02:24 AM »

Alrighty.

Most of your bots are messy for several reasons:

-Dual weapon systems. Stick to one, hybrids like tractor face are almost pointless since the bot won't reverse and start flipping (Unless you have two versions one with the flipper facing forward and one with the spinner facing forward), if you really want a hybrid, it'd be best to make them both be on the front of the bot, even then it's not easy to pull off

-skins, use the rule of keep it simple, High on Pressure is a good example, however the decal and flipper ruins it, Radioaction is exactly what you should aim to NOT do, don't try and just spam the standard decals, instead try and make them form a pattern. Like:

-Or, you can't make what you want, use custom out-of-botlab-made skins. Like:

-In the case of your flippers, (looking at hammer and song in particular) try and make you're flipper line up with the chassis, Like:

Also, the lexan/plexiglas whatever panel on Hammer and Song would be way to fragile to be a flipper.

-To go the extra length, make supports pneumatic thingamajigs under the flipper like:

-Back to Tractor Face. Exposed Weapon Motors aren't easy to pull off in IRL and with Tractor Face, It probably wouldn't be accepted, you'd need motor protection. No sane bot builder wold leave such a large, probably very expensive motor like that out in the open ready to be destroyed
