*Exhales.*

why are you posting like that in the showcases instead of being clear ? it's not like Jaydee will WANT to read that, therefore completely negating your advice.

To quote the best thing Mazakari ever said:

It's so beautiful.

In a kind of retarded way.

It's pretty retarded.

Those are all awful

please know how to play the game before you post

good advice 0/10

now for advice... it looks both very bland and very fragile, make it more armored and more interesting. Like, angling the front, armoring that angled front, adding stuff, and not just making a box chassis for a flipper (aka a design that is most generally NOT made for large box chassis)

it is good that you don't post 10 bots at once anymore though. trust me it's not to piss you off that we say that it's simply if you post a few bots you will get generally more advice and comments.

[Jaydee99]

Oh yeah, of course I know it's not to Piss me off. Thanks for the advice. I'll try to improve like you said.

[Jaydee99]

OK, I've got loads to release, but for now:

About the bot:
It looks like AS's BB9 MW but bigger. The extra size is just making it look bulky and awkward. The weapon setup look dumb and ineffective so you'll probably want to redesign that. Unless you were going for a CW, the bot is seriously underweight. You can either beef it up to make it a better HW or manage the weight better to make it a MW. If you're going to make it a HW, beef up your drive and weapons. Oh and I just notice, it appears you have 0 batteries in this thing. C'mon now, really? Also practice GIMP or something so you can make really skins instead of throwing this tacky cow print and throwing in some random penants on it.

About the splash:
What's going on in this splash? Why did you give us a random ass picture of SR's bot in the floor? If you thought it was cool enough to include, go ahead but I don't see the point of putting it on a splash about a completely different bot. Why did you box your cursor? You give us so many shots of the outside of the bot but I can't tell if you've put any batteries in the thing because of the angle of the inside shot. There's no order in the way the pictures are placed either. They're just jumbled together in a chaotic mess. We don't need all this extra purple around here.

I think I see a Cold Fusion Reactor hiding away in there, and a cheatbot2 Control Board.

5/5 bretty custom

You still need to clean up your skins.

Ok, I've never seen any BB9 robots except for the hunter. I was trying to do something else but it didnt work. The weapon setup may look ineffective but believe me, it isn't. I'm gonna change the weight. The skin, I wasn't trying to make the skin anything amazing. I included SR's bot for two reasons. 1. Wanted to show you all the glitch. 2. Needed to get rid of it. I thought I put more innards pictures in than I did. I always do this routine for a picture of my bot to show you but no-one has called it a chaotic mess before. I'll try to improve on that.

Yes you do. I was trying to find a Cheatbot component to fit on the bot but didn't find the particular one I wanted. The cold fusion reactor... I Always use one.

You still need to clean up your skins.

I'll try.

My advice to you Jaydee is that when you make your splashes, you only really need one inside shot and one outside shot. This way you can keep the image smaller, but higher quality so we can see the bot more in depth and give you a better analysis.

In terms of the bot, try to build your chassis around the components you are planning to use. This sounds like a weird backwards concept but it will save you weight for weaponry and armour. If you find this difficult, try drawing out bot designs with pencil and paper on a grid.  (Also as mentioned before, SKINNNNNS)

In general, if you need a guide on DSL, go read Naryar's, because it's one of the (If not THE) best guide on the forum to help builders.

** hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I learnt that doing this bot! Thanks anyway. The picture thing, I'll do that.

Alright SKBT,
Listen up. No-one said "This is the way you can build. Don't build a robot any other way..." I build my way. I'm not trying to follow anyone else's ways. My style of building. Just because you don't like my style, don't downrep me.

[Elementos]

I think the point is you aren't actually improving any of the bots we give you advice on, so you seem to just be staying at the same level of building and aren't taking on board any advice at all even though you say you are.

No dude. Your not taking these expert's advice, and thus, we're trying to help. You don't the right to talk back at SKBT because he's trying to make you improve. The Chassis, Batteries, Weapons, ect. are all in need of improvement for most of your robots. I know you want to make stuff different, but when it looks like crap, we don't need to see it, unless you want to improve. You can show off cool bots too, but it seems like it should be combat effective since it doesn't look all that cool either. I may be still a newb, but at least I'm taking whats to be advice from some of the greats, and trying to improve quietly.

(BTW, why do you care about rep?)

- "Alright SKBT", Confrontational towards a good user. (Minus 1)

- "Listen up.", On new line when it shouldn't be. (Minus 1)

- Also still being confrontational. (Minus 1)

- "No-one said "This is the way you can build. Don't build a robot any other way..."", Yes that's right. Stop acting like they said that. (Minus 1)

- "I build my way.", youre way a sh*t (Minus 1)

- Also, you don't build "your way", you just build badly then don't take advice to improve it. (Minus 1)

- "I'm not trying to follow anyone else's ways.", That's dumb. We can help you become better. (Minus 1)

- (Additional Minus 1 for ignorance.)

- "My style of building.", Dude we get it, pointlessly repeating it doesn't make us suddenly agree with you. (Minus 1)

- "Just because you don't like my style", F*ck bro, you don't have a personal style. (Minus 1) (Extra Minus 1 for endless repetition.)

- "Just because you don't like my style, don't downrep me.", Bad grammar is bad. (Minus 1)

- "don't downrep me.", Caring about rep. (Minus 5)


TOTAL SCORE: -17
RESULT: Shut up, and try to learn before you become a perman00b.

Why are yall' still posting in this thread just to bash him? This is a showcase, a showcase for ROBOTS. Yes he said something stupid, but saying stuff like "he served yo ass" isn't gonna fix the situation.

Well maybe JD shouldn't post about getting downrepped in the first place, or actually listen to the advice given to him rather than shrugging it off and blaming it on the fact that it's "his style."

[Badnik96]

>Implying Alex was serious

[Naryar]

seems some people here have been acting out of proportion. this particular newbie may be recalcitrant to proper building but this is NOT playground.

Although I did not liked the specifics on how Kurt went in whacking that particular newbie, it served to straighten up the newbie and it was therefore necessary. Maybe some argument would come out of it but when a newbie stirs up pointless drama when he is called on being incompetent, things must be straightened out.

The "oh d00d u showed this nub good !!11" and "lol rekt" that followed, however, was just throwing fuel on the fire and asking for an argument or flamewar to happen. Completely pointless posts and actually they were making it worse. This is NOT playground... I have to repeat myself !

And if you think the 60% is a lot then go see the rules about showcases... maybe you will understand more.

yup yup yup, listen to this guy cause he's obviously more mature than some of you.

Since when does "#rekt" get you 60% warn?
