Someone tried this years ago (IIRC). It didn't work.Well, it might be worth another try?
Here you go:Very successful post much? xDNow go have fun.
This is an excellent idea for newer users, but for veterans, they'd be better off making a new chassis.I think the inverse; a veteran generally can make a good chassis but may simply not be bothered to build one, while a newbie needs the experience.

Actually I have a better idea.As to the former, I can see problems unless we establish certain members as trustworthy sources; a newbie could trade a pretty decent chassis to another and get a half assed one in return. In addition I can see a problem with this as it almost entirely effects the veterans who do chassis swapping to experiment with design, while I can't see a big use by newer users.
You called your thing a MARKET, right ? A market isn't a charity. A market is somewhere where you exchange items, not give them to other people for free. What about something on exchanging chassis ? One for one, so it's fair and it doesn't makes the market users less skilled.This is an excellent idea for newer users, but for veterans, they'd be better off making a new chassis.I think the inverse; a veteran generally can make a good chassis but may simply not be bothered to build one, while a newbie needs the experience.
Agree with madman.
If anyone needs a Trov glitch chassis done, I can help.
You'd have to specify what shape.If anyone needs a Trov glitch chassis done, I can help.
That would be useful.
Have I kidnapped your BO3 chassis from the bot exchange? Yes.
Chassis market on its own is a flop but what about bot templates?Wheels, motors, power and chassis all in one,and you just have to tweak it a little bit more.
My opinion is summed up by this quote, from all over the forum.
"Build the chassis to the parts, not the parts to the chassis"
To be good, you have to get off your ass and build a custom chassis. The End.

TX,Im with you all the way.I always had trouble with chassis:I ballsed them up regular.It was one of my main flaws.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.
Well how am i meant to get better? Magic? No, The chassis market because i can take ideas and tinker with them till i get the skill. And cloneing is the way forward.Practice. And turn off Snap to Grid. If you want to improve your building, you're gonna have to learn some patience, in order to redo your chassis pixel by pixel to make it airtight.

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

I say we ban this arrogant little bastard... Again.
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...Naryar,i think you need to get the point.

Would this be for stock or DSL?
It won't help him at all, but maybe it could do a tiny bit of good.Im not trying to help ME.
You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.Fair enough.
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.
