Title: Metalbeak recreation (Original robot IRL by MicroGravity100)
Post by: spongebot64 on February 10, 2012, 04:56:17 PM: Alright, when I saw this video:

I was inspired (Or bored à la fois) to make a recreation of MicroGravity100's Metalbeak, in a modified version of Robot Arena 2 DSL 2.1. When I say modified, I mean it has custom components and arenas.

Here's the finished result:

Yeah, it may not look much like the original Metalbeak when you compare the flippers, but I tried.
Any suggestions on how to improve the robot would be nice (And when I mean that, I mean that you show me how to do it quite detailed)

Foul language removed, user warned

Also you did a nice job recreating the flipper with only normal components.

Post by: Naryar on February 12, 2012, 02:20:28 PM: Post pics of that bot as well as internals and we might be able to help you. I don't want to bother watching a whole video to get what your bot looks like.

Yeah, I only had the aims of making this as a replica.

Post by: Badnik96 on February 12, 2012, 05:38:48 PM: honestly some reskinned mini wheels (so they're blue) would look better IMO.

Well, I've never done re-skinning before. Maybe I'll look up a tut on how to do it.

Thanks, I'll use them.
