I am one of those people who don't build bots much.
Why? It feels like a chore sometimes.
-
try some stock antweights? i have posted a chassis for anyone to use and it's complete with batteries, control board and drive :P they take less time to build too which is why i focus on them because i can't play games for too long at a time so i can easily build an AW in a single sitting. all the robots in my sig use the same chassis :)

May I have the link?

just uploaded that one too,thought the one with 3 batteries was on the botexchange :S so yeah 3 pinks in there and plastic armor (i still need to get around to making a DSA armored AW chassis).

DSL is a chore. Stock is challenging.

That's why I tend to build in stock more. Yet the funny thing is, I've entered far more DSL tourneys than stock ones.

How funny, I find it the complete opposite way round.

stop playing ra2 like it's a chore. build when you get a good idea.I don't think I've played ra2 in a looooong time without having an idea for a bot

^QFT^

Interesting idea.
I felt like I had to play it since everyone was talking about the ST thing.
-
I build for tourneys, and that is pretty much it.

Totally agree. DSL has my heart now.
To be an efficient stock builder you have to know all that axle loading glitchy voodoo.

Yea, it provides more entertainment than just putting components in a chassis

I only build when I get a good idea. Like today, I thought of building a Pop-up with 64 RAZORZ, and I did it. =]
Also: I just got back from my awesome band concert. :D
-
I don't build because I can't keep up with modern glitches for stock and I never fully understood DSL. Also +1 what Scrap said.
-
I find stock more enjoyable.. it just needs the tournament/ mods/ etc support to make building robots actually have a point.
try some stock antweights?
actually your starting to sway me into building more robots in general but in the AW category.
-
When I first started playing DSL for the first time; it was fun. It wasn't regulated, and "all robots must meet the prerequisite of x to be worthy of judgment". DSL brought back the certain joy of simply building robots for the first time. But it seems that the "norm" for DSL is now: a super tight chassis, a few ant batteries, and "razor tips for high damage (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5739.0.html)". DSL is becoming more and more like building in stock nowadays.
Am I the only one who has recognized this?

I spend an hour just trying to get a black battery to stack. :(

Usually takes 20 seconds or less.
Or you could win BBEANS and get that cool battery

Yea but that's cheating. I never used it before I won it.

CB put up all the parts for download on his site...

I never use it either, i stack like a regular stock builder does. I'm getting increasingly better at it.

yes I realize this, but if you don't win it fair and sqaure it's as useful as any other custom component.

But you gotta' admit...
Lightsabers, mini magnets, and giant laser rifles are fun ;)

A lot of people say that, but I've never been able to make it work, and BBEANS is over...

Have you watched my video?

I didn't even know you had a video.
