first one is clean. i like it somehow

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #81 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:01:44 AM »

You'll be happy to know the second one looks neater too

cephalopod · « **Reply #82 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:14:37 AM »

Definitely looks tidier, will probably be illegal into tournaments though because Gavel OP

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #83 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:20:45 AM »

Yeah, I know. I just wasn't sure what to put on the ends that was light (to keep it stable) and damaging :P

cephalopod · « **Reply #84 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:31:24 AM »

Beaters with a Light Double Sided Tooth on the end so they look kinda like the gavel work quite well.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #85 on:** June 21, 2015, 06:54:07 AM »

Yeah, they seem to work well actually, though obviously they're pretty weak and break off quick, they can usually do enough damage to finish the bot off with the beaters. Cheers dude.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #86 on:** June 22, 2015, 12:21:40 PM »

Thought I'd just dump some crap

4x NPC-Fasts
Steel 3
394.9kg

It also self-rights because why not. (I'm sure it breaks the IRL rule but, pfft, who needs that anyway)

396.8kg
Aluminium 5

123.5kg
Aluminium 3

And... this SHW

We don't talk about this SHW.

Reier · « **Reply #87 on:** June 22, 2015, 05:10:03 PM »

you should talk about that SHW

RedAce · « **Reply #88 on:** June 22, 2015, 05:23:52 PM »

The rammer is a kinda bland and tryhard with the boxy design and hammer weapon.
The Drum is pretty cool, but the shell isn't the problem with realism, it's the belt without a support.
The AW is alright, but kinda boring.
The SHW is freaky and you really should talk about it.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #89 on:** June 23, 2015, 07:22:11 AM »

I don't really get what you mean by calling it tryhard, like, is that really a bad thing?
I didn't think about support, I'll go and add that
I can't build antweights. Like, at all :P
We don't talk about the SHW.

Thanks for the feedback <3

By tryhard we generally mean that you're trying so hard to make the robot effective that you make it less IRL, in either appearance, functionality, or both. In IRL building this is a bad thing, because obviously by exploiting the game's damage engine in certain ways you're making your bot look and act less like a real robot.
In this case the hammer weapon like that is not something you'd see on a real robot IMO.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #91 on:** June 25, 2015, 12:06:27 PM »

Working on an entry for the Father and Son thingy, lightweight's kinda crappy right now.

247.6kg
Titanium 1

Not even sure if this is IRL
798.6kg
Titanium 3

Also this thing. Could someone tell me what type of bot this is? Because I really have no idea.

Got those detailed insides yo

AND also, fixed this bot up so it looks less crappy.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #92 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:57:03 AM »

New heavyweight:

Steel 10
781.somethingKg

I have no clue how to bring the weight up.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #93 on:** June 30, 2015, 01:57:36 PM »

Wheelguards seem kinda flimsy. Other than that not a bad build.

Naryar · « **Reply #94 on:** June 30, 2015, 02:47:59 PM »

steel 10 ? really ?

Thanks, I'll see what I can do to fix them.

Dude I have no idea what to do with the weight, and I don't really want to end up with a cruiserweight because no one builds them.

You can drop it down to ti3 and change those steel extenders to the back to aluminum extenders, fiddle around with the DSL bar sizes and try and bring it down to a middleweight. You also don't need 6 ant batteries for it- 3 or 4 is enough. You can also mess with wheel selection and pick something lighter than slipperbottoms with the same diameter.

Or you can just make it a cruiserweight and be different. Not building a type of bot because no one else does it is a poor excuse to not do it- No one else builds that crazy shelled crawler hammer... thing that you've done, but you did it anyway.

New Heavyweight
(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
Ichor- 794.1kg, titanium 10. Someone please let me know if this is IRL or not since I'm not too sure.

Also forgot to post my lightweight before
(Image removed from quote.) (Image removed from quote.)
Ditsy- 247.6kg, no armour. No armour may be a terrible idea but I figured if anything has the opportunity to hit the chassis it's pretty much screwed anyway. Antweight blade is there to keep the shell off the ground.
The top one looks good, but maybe get the bars to hold the belt drive rather than it being far away (still a better attempt then what I can pull off). The second one, I'm not a huge fan of Typhoon spikes or the chassis' space. (Craaig, is my advice okay? Or am I making bad assumptions...)

What motor is that you are using on that heavyweight? And where can I get it?

RedAce · « **Reply #98 on:** July 02, 2015, 10:11:33 PM »

That's the MOE motor. A cheatbot2 part.

To get it, open your DSL game, enter bot lab, type cheatbot2 in the bot name, look in extras for the MOE category and it should be there.

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #99 on:** July 04, 2015, 10:40:40 AM »

I'm the best at skinning

398.7kg

246.9kg

396.5kg
