I was wondering if it was possible for bibars, quadbars, etc. in the next DSL.
I basically mean tribars but with 2 arms, 4, 5, etc.
I know that there are situations where I could really use something like this.
-
2 arms=DSL Bar
4 arms=DSL Disc
-
DSL Discs and Bars are FLAT, which is bad if you need the weapon to scretch down at an angle to guard the motor. DSL discs are also vulnerable to things like VSs because the spinners catch the disc (unguarded by only the four spinning spikes) and get snapped off, damaged, or at the very least flip up the bot and unbalance it.

I like this idea! :)
-
Logical yet sooo mind blowing that nobody has rarely seized and put the effort into a thread like this in this particular subject.

Perfectly possible but you need to make a GMF for this, and this is no easy task :mad:
-
very possible to do in 3DSM5
might even make it at a later date when I get better with it... if nobody else makes one

Its called a angled shell extender,Dumbass.

Cut the language, and shell panels are too brittle. He wants the whole piece.
-
Not only too brittle but at least 10 kg heavier than a standar tribar...
And stop whacking better builders than you.

at the risk of sounding like someones mum :P (inside joke craaig made last time I said this)
"Treat other members like you want to be treated"
sounds silly and juvenile, I know but if you dont like being insulted so much why do it to others?
honestly it takes less effort to write "Angled Spinner Sheck?"

SB, I think your idea good, mainly because of the noted 'off-set'. Sometimes motors sit too high on the chassis base for the desired weapons to be effective(near the floor).

LRA2, you need to settle down, or I will 'artificially impose chaos' upon you. Both you and Sparkbutt, need to stop your 'hard-guy' performances. If you two refuse to control yourselves and persist, then a 'leash' will need to be put on the dog(s) (unfortunate, but necessary)...and it will be a heavy, short chain.

Isn't chaining someone is imposing order/law rather than chaos upon him ?
-
Not if we throw him in a pit with a lion, while chained. Or a pit with Chaos 2...
-
the only thing Chaos 2 would do is eject one from the pit...we are on a tribar topic.. Son Of Whyachi ?
speaking of the topic we should probably get back on to it

[/endofftopic]
Well I think its a good Idea... obviously...

your lucky I don't know were you live
/offtopic
anyway, I like the Idea, we also need more sizes than just the three, and I was thinking 4 armed bars would be cool, and I also think th Tris should be re-designed with being angled down.
-
They are at the moment.
-
Sparkey...
The 4 Armed Bars were suggested at the first post in this topic, Thats the point of it.
Also, As GK said, The Tribars are already being angled down.
And yeah, Hes lucky you dont know were he lives coz nobody wants akward internet boys running around naked on their house.
-
i know, I meant I was thinking, before the creatin of this thread, that would be a good Idea :P
-
What I was thinking was 2, 4, 5, and 7 armed bars, if we had to limit it, othermise we could do other amounts too.

Why have them made up for each one? Wouldn't it be simpler and more fun if we just had a small disc slightly bigger than the width of an extender with sayyyy 10 attachment points to make your own homemade tri-quad-dual-sextuple-etc etc bar. That way we can just have different arms and in different shapes and sizes. People could design it mixed up or whatnot.
-
hmmmm... but they would have to be symmetrical as in if you attached 10 and they were all symmetrical, then attaching 7 would be unbalanced.
-
This seems like a great essential to people who like to build bots possible IRL.

Good point... only the even numbers would be symmetrical for all attachment points. Though you could have different symmetric combinations using the even points (think like a squeezed X) I guess odd number bar configurations would indeed need different attachment points to keep it symmetrical.
