Tried another design with the same type of drum.







Exactly the same problem as before, turning causes the bot to float onto the side and fail while the drum is on.

This is one of the cases wherein you need to give your bot a wide stance/side stabilizers in order for it to perform well. Lots of VSes tend to have steering problems as well.

The idea is to ram the other bot then turn into it. Silly idea's to be honest. Probably going to give up on the drum... I'll make a showcase topic soon. =]

Your idea is a creative one. Try to put your drives there on a angle so that when you put the wheels on the top tilts in and the bottom tilts out thats what I do for this type of bot.

Is taking one challenge request. First come first serve. I'm a bit rusty now but I'm going to try and crank something out for this. MW and up no glitches DSL or Stock.

Hm, I'm having another problem with DSL, when I test a bot I go into events and start one up, on some of them I start a match and non of the AI move, 5 seconds later the game crashes. If I reload the game and continue the event it will crash again, forcing me to forfiet the event.. Common problem? =\

[Edit] Also, why the F*** do my controls keep getting reversed!? I'm grinding down a bot and my controls end up going in reverse.. I'd understand it if I got hit but I'm not, it's doing it randomly. Also happens if I go up a ramp or ontop of another bot... ugh.

As for the event problem,Thats a bug in DSL. NEVER go into a Compressor arena event or Ocean Platform Event.

No, but it's somewhat better than being a beauty therapist, like the school's career's software picked out for me. (It also picked out computer programmer/games designer, something I'm much more interested in.)

Thanks for the download link, fixed the events. =]


I've also come to notice that stacking is extremely easy in DSL, is it allowed or frowned on?

Can someone explain the control problems? I'd be grinding away at an AI, pinning them against a wall and my controls will randomize for 10-15 seconds, as in they will reverese or up will be left, down will be up... It doesn't happen when I get hit, it happens randomly. Starting to "really" annoy me. x.x
