Jaydee99's custom component Showcase

[Philippa]

Not complaining or anything but how come I've not got any warn?

[helloface]

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

Read my post again.

I just thought it was funny. The warn wasn't nessicairy.

[Elementos]

I got a warning too?

you were merely n00b whacking him when you had a good reason too. I've done it as well, so why a warn ?

Sure I thought it was too offensive for my taste but n00b whacking has to be somewhat offensive to be effective.

Maybe someone will warn you for using foul language in the forum, but that won't be me.

except what would it have done if Jaydee went angry and reacted to your post in an overblown way ? That's right, flame war. And you would have been muted for that, and Jaydee possibly as well.

It didn't happen but I can't have here flame wars in there... there were a few and since I am here there are none in general... so no flamebait is allowed.

Yes your post wasn't THAT offensive... but it was useless, not adding anything (it was just making the situation worse) and actually could have ended in a flame war. That's flame bait. It has no place at all in a showcase.

So I heavily warned you so that people will know what happen when they post sh** like that in the showcases... so we don't have flame wars with me cracking down on flame bait.

Some amount of offtopic and joking are completely fine in showcases... except that you just jumped on the "let's bash the newbie" bandwagon, and more importantly you didn't even tried to explain things (like some other posters did), you just bashed him mindlessly. THIS is the sort of situation that creates flamewars, and this is the reason why I cracked down heavily on both of you.

Same goes for your post elementos. And yet you acted much better just before.

This is not playground !

I sincerely apologise to everyone involved, because I don't know why I even said that. It's unlike me to be stup-(Well actually no i'm an idiot but still).

Just make sure not to start again.

I wouldn't have reacted badly to helloface's #rekt comment.
Also, I apologize to everyone for being a n00b.

Just remember Jaydee, if SKBT isn't happy with your work, feel as if it's motivation, like "I've got to improve to make him happy" or, you know, SKBT to respect your designs. Hopefully your next bot will blow us away.

[cephalopod]

Okay guys, I think we're done here, let's leave that behind now.

[Elementos]

Watch Jaydee come back with a totally perfect bot now, making us all look like massive jackasses.

Ahem.

[Jaydee99]

this probably won't blow you all away, but I think it's pretty good. And reminds me of Ripper.

[Natster-104]

The chassis is way too huge and you don't need that many cold fusion reactors, take them out and leave 1 then:

- Reskin it- the skin isn't too bad but could be better
- spend weight upgrading the weapon system/looks of it

and reshowcase it, I'm sure after that it'll be 10x better :)

And then, we can leave reccomendations on how to improve it further after that

This, and I do like the idea you are going for.

Also, still an necessary amount of pics, but at least there's less than before.

Needs better drive and less empty space, also the height of it is fairly ridiculous.

Could also add a piston like thiing t the bttom o the flipper so it looks more IRLish.

[Natster-104]

Needs better drive

It's probably a H4X motor :P

[Naryar]

huuuge chassis, make it less huuuge

[Elementos]

Ah. At first glance I thought they were astros.

Would help If there was only one picture up close so I could see the components clearer. :P

(Image removed from quote.)

The chassis is to tall, batteries are a bit much, needs stronger drive (unless I'm mistaken) and the wheels... (are those ants?) What's the flipper motor?
I would also recommend (like Naster) to use a better skin. Also that weapon at the back wont do anything (not to mention it doesn't seem that cool imo)

Better then the rest, in my opinion.


(Edited huge to tall, since that's what I meant. Maybe the sides are a bit big, idk).

If you rebuild it just with Ironforge parts instead of a mix of custom and Ironforge, you could enter it into Craaaaig's BOTALLICA! tourney.

[Lemonism]

You should give making an HD skin a try. I make a lot of robots that look pretty mediocre until I give them a nice skin, and if you look at most of the good builders they do put time into their skins.

The flipper itself looks not too bad to me, although I would use a mini extender to put the police light on top of the robot, to keep the flipper looking cleaner, and add a piston underneath, as the other guys said. Also I don't know how you put the flipper together but it might be possible for you to get rid of the gaps between the plates with effe and bigger panels, again to make it look cleaner.

Overall, I'd say it does show improvement from your previous stuff.
