Title: Chapsters bots DSL
Post by: chapster on January 26, 2016, 11:03:10 AM
My first ever bot with DSL ATTACK! is the name.
4 motors
4 batterys
4 wheels
2 extra longs.
2 bursts
1 axe
1 flipping device
aaaaaand .1 off of 800

Personally for a first in DSL, I like it.

Looks super underpowered to me, this is DSL 2.1, right? If so, ant batteries are better in pretty much every way compared to the other types of batteries, so just try to spam them. Also, multi extenders are more commonly used than baseplate anchors, they weigh less and are smaller.

Edit: Also, welcome to the forum! It's not too bad for a first bot, the techno wheels + NPC fast motors are a good combo. What type of armour does the bot have? Make sure you select an armour type if you haven't already, since the default armour in DSL is terrible compared to all the others.

Flipper arm goes through the NPC. Needs thicker armour, too.

As far as the basics go, it isn't terrible. The motors are a good choice, as are the wheels. You seem to have empty space management town to a degree which is pretty good. However, you are severely lacking in weaponry and armor. That axe is going to last all of about three seconds against any decent standard robot. Titanium 1 is also going to last that long as armor, especially with how much exposed chassis you have.

I'm not really sure what's eating all your weight because that doesn't really look like it's close to 800, but whatever. I'd get rid of the side armor, shrink your chassis so that the wheels aren't inside of it, and then put some external armor on the front. The smaller chassis should help get you enough weight to get a decent weapon system on there.

If this happens again (or literally anything else goes wrong with RA2) try:

Changing resolution
Running in windowed
Running in compatibility mode (win XP)
Moving the game files to the desktop
Playing another game. RW: Arenas of Destruction isnt too bad
Reinstalling
