Boby's Joke of a Showcase

[Avalanche]

Gaps in the bars for the HW are odd. Otherwise pretty good.
SHW looks like something Mazakari did recently.
I love the MW, Looks awesome.However Aluminium is terrible. NEVER, EVER use it. Im not sure on the specifics but its got a bad Weight to Strength ratio.Always go for Tit 3 at least for mw, BUT I think other builders would know better on that part.

[ecolusian]

heh, tit.

[Avalanche]

heh, tit.

Try to keep on topic, Ecolusian.
Also, made a horrible error. This is the tier list of armours for DSL.
Top is best, Bottom is worst.

Also, chassis armor choices are not all equal. In DSL 2.1, Armors can be classified by their strength/weight ratio. In order of quality, the armors are:
-Pl3,Ti10,Ti5,Ti1 (all the best armors you can have, all are equal)
-St5, Pl5, Pl10 (good choices)
-Ti3,Pl1,Al3, St10 (average to bad)
-St3, St1, Al1, Al5, Al10 (all just plain bad. Avoid)
-DSA (Awful choice, why are you even using this in DSL) (The equivalent of playing Pichu blindfolded in Super Smash Bros.)

As you can see, Titanium is overall the best choice, then Plastic, then Steel, then Aluminium which in in overall the worst choice.

In general Steel 5 is the highest armor you should use. Unless in very particular cases anything more is better used on drive or weapons. Remember : Armor doesn't make you win battles, drive and weapons do.

So yeah, Tit 5 would be good. Just see what you can fit on if you fiddle with the weight.
Alu 5 isnt amazing.

If he doesn't have anything better to use the weight on then there isn't a reason not for them.

I suppose. I was suggesting he see if he could find some better armor, but anything is better than nothing.

[Badnik96]

MW looks sweet.

I see what you mean with the gaps on the HW, I'll see to it. Yeah, I pretty much cloned Mazakari's bot, except this one is in DSL2 whilst I believe his was DSL3. As for the armour thing, after I'm building a bot I'll add the armour, so it's just whatever is closest to weight limit.

^that

The HS just looks like the same design that Mystic has been entering in every tournament since BB6. The VS is well put together but is nearly the exact same as Plazmic Inferno's Skism. The thwack bot seems alright.

I don't think I've seen that bot, mine was based entirely off of Mazakari's design.

Yeah, the Alu armour will do, but when it comes to efficiency its kind of arse. Better than nothing, though. If its the strongest you can fit on, its a good job.

Design started as me trying to make a dog-themed bot, ended up as some approximation of a crocodile that I kinda dig. Works pretty well for an IRL clamp.

You get my seal of approval.

Get something on there for eyes and you're golden. 2 half hex plates sticking out the top of the chassis behind the jaw would look awesome.

I tried it and it does look great but it stops being invertible.

It looks great, apart from the uneven wheels. But that's just my OCD being triggered.

[Scrap Daddy]

Looks great, m8. I agree with the eyes and two different colored wheels comments though.

[Bobyasianboy]

Better or worse?

Eyes have been added but since the bot stops being invertible, I've had to add a srimech

[Naryar]

i feel you need more color contrast to make good eyes. as they are they are not very noticeable.

also losing invertibility due to a simple cosmetic feature and needing a srimech is a no-no in my eyes, even for an IRL bot.

Definitely not my best work, but I spent way too long on it to not showcase it.

Sidenote: I feel like almost all the burst pistons in 2.2 are still pretty weak for flippers. Using 2 of what seems to be the third best piston and it can only just get things OOTA.

[yugitom]

Loving how clean it looks. Great work :)
