First robot would probably be better if you made it wider and less long at the same time, just looks too thin IMO
As far as the skin goes it's a little low resolution, and the texture seems to abruptly change in the middle of the top panel, suddenly becoming much darker. To improve this you could re-size the skin to 1024x1024, and try and choose a texture for the skin that's a little larger than the largest face of the skin to use.

Second bot also seems rather thin. Assuming you're still going for IRL here I'd definitely think about widening the wheelbase at least.

Last robot has a pretty cool hammer design, although maybe you could find a way of making the handle longer and slightly wider? Also you could try attaching the handle to a disk, and then attaching the drums to the disk, so that don't have that split in the middle of the hammer.
I'm thinking maybe that drive might be a little overkill on a MW, although I'm not sure here.

dat hammer.

The first one has a lot of empty space. It could easily be a LW by making the chassis tighter. It's also quite bland, but the skin is alright.

The second one I feel would look better if the bar wasn't so far inside the chassis.

I like the concept of the hammer, but it was poorly executed since the handle is too short and the rest of the bot is uninteresting and about as big as the hammer. I feel like it would look a lot more badass as a HW Hammer rather than a MW SnS. Also, as Lemonism said, drive is overkill and the disk in the middle would look better.

Thanks a lot for the advice on the last builds, they've been worked on.

Use hexplates on the flails in order to increase your weapon count.

Also Jonzu did something literally exactly the same as your MW a few years back. XD

Didn't think of that, cheers.

rip originality

And you could also shrink the chassis to save a couple kgs for that SnS to get some weapons.

Also, I don't care if the heart bot isn't original, it's hilarious. Just make the text bigger so it looks readable.

You shouldn't need the armor plates on the weapon extenders as well, that should free up some weight.

Domanaryar bot looks cool, but you should make all the motors on the SnS face the same way.

Does it make a difference performance wise or just aesthetics?

Naryar · « **Reply #114 on:** July 10, 2015, 03:45:22 PM »

yep, it does. a bit.

if it spins clockwise then you should put the motors closer to the leftmost disc : if it spins CCW you should put the motors closer to the rightmost disc.

Had a block for quite a while, crapped out these two which I think are okay

3 ants, astro + hypno drive, piglet weapon motor
Plastic 1
247.something

Isn't effective in combat at all, just thought it looked somewhat cool

Reier · « **Reply #116 on:** July 21, 2015, 12:14:02 PM »

does the shell spinner do much damage? I'd think the weapon and motor are a little on the weak side... where'd the weight go?

I like the scarab looking thing though even if it sucks at fighting

It does a decent amount, somewhere around 10,000 damage at the end of a fight usually. Weight went to beaters (80kg) and hypno wheels (36kg) I guess. I upgraded it to TWM3R anyway, got rid of the hypnos and replaced them with ants. Now plastic 3.

scarab is cool but needs to have more weapons on the front
