You know, I feel that this war between IRL and Standard will never end. I just feel you pick whatever side you want to build and go with it. It's easier than arguing which building style is better.

Oh yeah, your bots. They are good and this showcase is off to a good start considering your new around here. For improvements, I'm just agreeing with the other guys who gave good advice.

these are irl bots so i assume tthe burst on the first bot is a judge burst

It is a judge, yeah.

Thanks for all of the advice, Reier, I'll edit it all accordingly. I'll get round to skinning them all once they're all in the final stage, best to get them all working before it looks pretty :P

Reier · « **Reply #23 on:** May 28, 2015, 09:38:57 PM »

honestly don't mimic everything I said or anything they were just general tips
it's still your bot, do what you want :)

But as a quick thing, that lightweight VS is definitely not an IRL bot :P The others are all good though.

Yeah, I figured :P I was going to work on it some more if I wanted to use it as an IRL bot. Does it fall under DSL-S?

cephalopod · « **Reply #26 on:** May 29, 2015, 04:13:54 PM »

For sure, yeah :)

Updated Bots

Best splash EU
#1- Faster motors.
#2- Square shape, gets the DSL bars further away from the wheels.
#3- DSL bars and beater bars instead of ripping teeth. Also weird looking extender.
New SHW

Unnamed- 1199.2kg

Is there a list of weapons with normals around? It seems like sledgehammers have normals but I'm not sure.

Sledge hammers don't have normals

This should have which weapons have normals under the Weapon choice spoiler

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #29 on:** June 01, 2015, 12:27:05 PM »

This is Thud... be nice to Thud he's a little retarded.

799.6kg

I should really get round to skinning all these at some point...

cephalopod · « **Reply #30 on:** June 01, 2015, 12:32:11 PM »

You should totally stop using Multi Extenders anywhere except on the baseplate, they're really weak when not on the baseplate. For the same weight you could use an Ali extender or even try fashioning supports using Flippermakers, every IRL builder's true love.

(Plus oh hi Shinigami, it's been too long :P)

Naryar · « **Reply #31 on:** June 01, 2015, 12:32:53 PM »

The extender setup needs to be made lighter. As in, simplify it. see this :

also the small caddie "wheels" are actually pointless. just put something that is tough and wide (aka, angled metal skirt) as stabilizers.

I'd rather not use skirts since I want to keep the robot IRL, but I'll definitely change the front up.

helloface · « **Reply #33 on:** June 01, 2015, 09:42:47 PM »

It's not IRL. The disc is pretty much floating there. Give it some support.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #34 on:** June 02, 2015, 03:45:54 PM »

I thought it looked neat okay?

Obviously kinda bad in battle but I build it for looks more than anything.

Philippa · « **Reply #35 on:** June 02, 2015, 05:04:41 PM »

Bizarre wheel setup, but it's an alright IRL bot.

Skin it, change the drive, and swap out the Battlepacks for Ants, that should make it a better bot.

Thrackerzod · « **Reply #36 on:** June 02, 2015, 05:34:03 PM »

I didn't notice the drive at first. Does it have 6 wheels?

G.K. · « **Reply #37 on:** June 02, 2015, 05:37:13 PM »

I'm not a fan of the halfsheets as flippers. Change them and add a skin and it'll look ace :)

I thought that flipper motors took up a lot more power, hence the battlepacks. Or am I being stupid?

It does, yeah, two sets of astroflights and a set of TWM3Rs.

Yeah, I don't like them all that much either, just couldn't find a decent alternative. I'll look again :P

Naryar · « **Reply #39 on:** June 03, 2015, 02:03:45 AM »

wtf @ drive, four astroflights on a MW/underweight HW ? really ?
