Metalbeak recreation (Original robot IRL by MicroGravity100)
« 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)

This forum is only for a actual showcase. If you want to post that bot then you will have to post in the Replica thread because this is mainly non replica showcases.

No, it's his showcase and he can post replicas in it if he wants.

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

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.

Everything except the Judge burst motor is not in DSL and therefore not legal for tourneys but it's a replica and so who cares.

I'm detecting a moving of this thread. Might want to change the wheels to large ant wheels for accuracy.

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

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.

Naryar has blue mini wheels in his NAR AI components, they're pretty good in terms of a recolor.
