SagarisRA2 Showcase
SagarisRA2:
This is my first forum post at GTM. I got inspired by the many forums on this site and after years of playing and modding the game I thought I would start trying to build and showcase robots. I'm not brilliant at this whatsoever so feedback would be great.
My first robot I made just last night is called Consequence. He is a "flicker" and shaped similiar to robots like Storm 2. It uses IRL aluminium armour around most of the robot. The weight is just under 700kg so I can improve the armour to titanium. I use small motors I have used for a while, and the flipper motor is part of the Robot Wars RA2 Mod. I have taken screenshots of the bot as well as the internals.
Also one thing I really want to do more than anything is enter a tournament, but have no idea how they work, how to apply or if there are even any available. Replies would be great, I think I need it XD

Welcome to GTM Sagaris, Im no expert as RWRA2 so I cant comment on the internal components but I'll give some advice about the design. 1. I noticed it's double layered. With the assumption both layers are Alu I would recommend have Ti panels overlayed with Polycarb. 2. The front of the robot is rather messy and you might be able to add them front armour plates to hinges if RWRA2 has them it'll make the wedge more effective. Overall it's a good design, it just needs cleaning up. Also I recommend you wanna try and build as close to the weight limit as you can.
As for tournaments. DSL 2.2 is the most popular for them so I would recommend trying that out at your own pace and starting a showcase there. You'd get a great amount of feedback there.
Here's a link on how to enter tournaments: https://gametechmods.com/forums/tutorials-and-tips/beginners-guide-to-entering-a-tournament/

Thanks for the feedback, I will make them edits now. Also would you reckon I start a separate post for the DSL 2.2 stuff or use this post and rename it?

Separate post in the DSL section.
SagarisRA2:
I spend more time on this version of the game than I do DSL, so I might as well post some designs here. I made this one a good month ago, and has Steel Hypno Teeth for the Jaw Teeth, and a "self-righting spine". It isn't good in the arena, but it looks nice.
