Lol at the skin. The design looks cool though.

Philippa · « **Reply #641 on:** September 02, 2013, 03:34:41 PM »

Which part of Robot Wars would this suit? Series 3 or Series 4 or Series 5?

Like the skin, like the disc, like the robot as a whole. How is the turning on it?

Thyrus · « **Reply #642 on:** September 02, 2013, 03:36:35 PM »

I`d say 4

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #643 on:** September 02, 2013, 04:09:09 PM »

Yeah, 4 for me aswell. Flywheels were uncommon in S3 and it wasn't until Hypno-Disc when the design become more widespread.

cephalopod · « **Reply #644 on:** September 02, 2013, 04:09:34 PM »

Yeah, it's very Series 4. As for the turning, it's okay, if slow because it's using Mag drive or whatever they're called.

Merrick · « **Reply #645 on:** September 02, 2013, 06:04:58 PM »

4/5 for me.

You did some sillier designs in Series 5 like this one. Tartan Terror and Ruf Ruf Dougal spring to mind, and S4 only had a couple of HS.

I came here for VS and am now disappointed.

For Andy

Crasp Drone 3 prototype

Plastic 10 armour and still like 710kg. Ideas for improvement?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #648 on:** September 03, 2013, 09:37:01 AM »

Upgrade to 10mm aluminum? The bot texture looks like metal instead of plastic y'know...

Philippa · « **Reply #649 on:** September 03, 2013, 10:47:25 AM »

Can't stop placing them in the different series. Series 7 for this.

Beefier-looking supports. Maybe try Steel 5, I can't remember what armours were best so it might not be the best idea.
Still looks pretty sweet.

1) Not enough weight
2) What's your point? XD

helloface · « **Reply #651 on:** September 03, 2013, 11:26:38 AM »

Steel 5 and if you want to burn weight, a srimech.
Yes, I know that the disc can probably right the bot but srimechs can do it better.
Also, I really like this new version.

Damn
The point is that why bot got a metal texture when the armor is plastic?

Probably Rob · « **Reply #653 on:** September 03, 2013, 12:50:57 PM »

I can make a texture for a robot, with whatever I want it to be. If I have a wooden robot, why can't I make it look metally? Why can't I make a balloon robot, look like cardboard? There is no rule, where a robot, HAS to look like what its armour is like. You fool. Go home.

MassimoV · « **Reply #654 on:** September 03, 2013, 01:53:46 PM »

Looks good, but angle extenders...

What about them? Do they look bad? D:

MassimoV · « **Reply #656 on:** September 03, 2013, 02:17:00 PM »

I just have a negative assosiation with them in my mind. I't just the ather extenders are round and they're square so it's kind of a jump. Still looks fine. You might be able to make the supports out of flipper segments.

Merrick · « **Reply #657 on:** September 03, 2013, 04:09:09 PM »

I think the support looks fine.

RedAce · « **Reply #658 on:** September 03, 2013, 04:52:13 PM »

Looks pretty good. The supports don't bug me that much.

Was just playing around on a recent DSL copy and found this. Can't remember making it.
Not particularly noteworthy, just a fair example of one of my LW VS. Pretty sure I shaved some weight off somewhere though, because of that armour, which is probably overkill.
Apologies for the pink hammers, it's from that old axolotl thing.
