Post by: AlexGRFan97 on April 28, 2013, 04:53:49 AM: Hmm, remove the Stock motherboard, make the chassis slightly smaller, replace the Slimbodies with NPC T64s, make it invertable and then you're good to go. What is its current weight and armor?

dude this is advice. and Alex is right about what he suggested. Also it seems the saw is cutting through the motor. try to use one with a longer belt.

Post by: Kid_Krusher13 on April 28, 2013, 05:01:39 AM: I men't that as I see Alex took over for me,I know it was advice.I'm not as dumb like Virus and Ian are letting on.

(user was warned for this post)

Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: ty4er on April 28, 2013, 05:10:14 AM: you could use twrm/2twrm's for drive if you dont have enough space (make sure you select the drive versions ofc)

you could probably use 1 long black battery for this if you wanted, they're better than the battlebacks so you'd only really need one

Yeah you have plenty of weight to fit thicker armor on there, aswell as more batteries. With the changes, try and make the bot weigh between 390 and 398kg.

Post by: Badnik96 on April 28, 2013, 09:32:26 AM: Nice and simplistic. If you fix the realism issues, that is actually a pretty cool first bot.

Post by: Naryar on April 28, 2013, 10:10:25 AM: You must have installed DSL3 wrong if you still have the stock control board...
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: Probably Rob on April 28, 2013, 10:39:29 AM: Maybe he put the component in his folder, etc.?
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on April 28, 2013, 10:47:07 AM: grownder looks alright for a first bot i suppose, you could put 3 ant batteries + a legal control board at the back, get a longer perm and move that backwards too.

Post by: Camaro Kid on May 31, 2013, 05:57:17 AM: Geez, its been a while since I posted here. But I got 2 updated Grownders and a new bot

Kill Steen Kill is like my equivelent of Tornado, entered it HoriZon with Spikes. And now it has a Flipper!

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on May 31, 2013, 06:32:54 AM: You need a lot more defense on all of these, wheelguards especially. What are the current weight measurements of these robots?

All of them are middleweights. Kill Steen Kill and Grownder 2 are gonna be Tournament entries and both are near 400kg (Steen is 396 and Grownder 2 is 397). Hence why no wheel guards.

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on May 31, 2013, 09:09:30 AM: Well, what is the armor? You don't really need anything tougher than Ti3.
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: MassimoV on May 31, 2013, 11:50:32 AM: Can't enter into BB7 because those are DSL3.
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on May 31, 2013, 12:09:33 PM: Yeah that's what I was gonna say. I like KSK for some reason.
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: Shield on May 31, 2013, 12:12:01 PM: Kill Steen Kill reminds me of Original Sin
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 31, 2013, 03:01:53 PM: Far too much empty space on there. Build the bot around the components, not make some random chassis and use it.

Use blue control boards, they're lighter.

I honestly cant tell the difference between DSL 2 and 3. Which components are on there thats DSL 3?
Title: Re: Camaro Kid's DSL Showcase
Post by: MassimoV on May 31, 2013, 06:53:11 PM: That saw, the perm with the belt support, the flipper motor.

That saw, the perm with the belt support, the flipper motor.

So would a perm without support with the Fluffy Blade be legal? Or would it still be DSL 3?

And ill swap for a different flipper motor
