Idea - 'The Chassis Market'

[Naryar]

oh LRA2, using other builder's chassis isn't going to make you a better builder, it's just being lazy.

What IS going to make you a better builder is : Think up a design. Build it. When finished, test it against many other designs, learn it's strengths and weaknesses, or think about how it could be better and/or more efficient (Testing is generally better). Improve it. Wash, rinse, repeat. By all means go and start another design if you're bored with improving always the same design, other ideas to improve your first design will come with time.

If you suck at chassis building, get better, don't just use other peoples work. You're technically one of the people who are least likely to deserve a free chassis, so get better so we can give you one, as at least then you've proved you can make a chassis decently.

Point taken.

Naryar,i think you need to get the point.
Ill just make this more clear.
I CARE THIS MUCH [],SO DONT BLOODY BOTHER.

This.

Not everyone builds robots the same. Each member has there own "charm"(or so to say) they put into each build, and that's sort of what determines a user's skill level.
Or something like that.

I say we ban this arrogant little bastard... Again.

Youre going to get banned for language.

You don't get banned for foul language, only a 25 (iirc) percent warn. He didn't say the f word so he's fine...


Would this be for stock or DSL?

Both.

[Natef]

Just don't do it.

It will not work out.

[Mr. AS]

Hey, if he wants to make a pack of a bunch of empty chassis's that maybe a few people will download, let him do it...

[Natef]

It won't help him at all, but maybe it could do a tiny bit of good.

[TeamXtreemer]

Im not trying to help ME.

You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.
 
First of all, it's ALREADY BEEN DONE when Ianh05 released his AW chassis.
 
Second of all, there's no need to make a whole subforum with chassis moderators and whatnot, or even an official pack.  If you come up with a good generic chassis that can be used in other designs, just post it on the bot exchange.  If it's useful, people will download it.
 
And thirdly, the idea that posting generic empty chassises will somehow reduce bot diversity or eliminate skill from bot building is mostly reactionary nonsense.  Very few bots can actually use the same chassis efficiently, at least in stock.  I don't think I've ever been able to re-use a chassis in stock.  And those bots that CAN re-use the same chassis efficiently are always either inherently generic anyway (like the Pyscolone popup) or the ones with a pint-sized battery box and everything else external.  99% of the skill involved is in all that external stuff, not designing the battery box.

Fair enough.
