COOLRUNNER's Craptacular DSL Showcase!

[COOLRUNNER87]

You have the weight to upgrade to a metal hinge wedge, and I think Vlads would be better here.

Nary's gonna be pissed when he sees that you cloned one of his bots, but don't worry; most builders start out cloning other bots.

...wait...

I didn't even take a look at Naryar's DSL showcase. I just wanted to create a LW version of Bullseye (which, in turn, is a MW version of Shebeast).

Also, I really want to keep the 3-piece front wedge. Having hinges, while better, would only give me one wedge that would not be as effective as having the full wedge.

I see now.  It actually reminds me more of The Digger than Silver Star.  I think we can let it slide this time.

[Naryar]

Nothing like Silver Star 2. After seeing lloopp's post, I was thinking Hypothermia before ounce remembered me of The Digger (that is better :P)

Anyways, i do believe you can use Vlads and save 4 kg.

I've done that, and changed up the frontal skirt to Titanium.

Since I haven't done an update in a while, here's what I've got up-to-date on Drazah:



The insides:


Changes:
-Removed Back Skirt
-Added 2x NPC-T64's with 2x Slipperbottoms
-Changed to hinge wedge with 120cm Titanium panels

It's still got issues with getting under the opponents. Any advice on what to do there?

Hinges don't like the format your using, they like to be as flat as possible.

[Pwnator]

Use the Left/Right NPCs so you can use Vlads (same grip and more hitpoints for less weight). And you can't get under opponents because your wedge height is incorrect. The metal hinge should be flat against the ground for it to be effective. You might need to lower the chassis a bit so you can add a skirt hinge wedge as the feeder wedge.

Can't exactly flatten the chassis anymore, as it is as low as it can go. Also, thanks for the advice. I'll fix it in a few minutes.

Yes you can I believe, when changing the chassis hight, move the slider up to the very highest it can go, then instead of sliding it, move your mouse as low as you can on the slider and click, it will move the chassis lower than what you normally can, If you dont believe me click on the slider afterward and you will notice it moves the chassis height higher, to make it lower again just repeat the process.

[Naryar]

Wedge isn't going to work well like that.

Also get Vlad wheels, and try to put a secondary upwards wedge by axle loading the E-Tek, then adding a skrt hinge on top of it facing forward (or the other way)

*takes a look at it*

*does it*

Holy Cow, you're right! Time to put that back on the sketchboard. I'll do it tomorrow, though, since my time just got consumed with Fallout 3 and Mothership Zeta.

Also, Naryar, I'll be sure to do that once I re-do it tomorrow... only question is, what do you mean by axle-loading the E-Tek? I'm not too familiar with the various glitches in game.

(p.s. Naryar, have you had a chance to read your PM's, especially ones concerning the Wiki?)

[Naryar]

Sage has an axle load tutorial, i think.

I have one on my youtube account (Nagzash) as well.

[COOLRUNNER87]

Alright, time for the update on Drazah:



The insides (with weapon removed for better view):


Changes:
-Shrunk height of chassis to the lowest point it can go (thanks, d-lark)
-Upgraded weapon motor to Quad Mag Gearbox
-Changed wheels to Hypnos (any larger, and the realistic rule would be broken; the bar barely skirts over it)
-Changed motors to NPC Left/Right
-Changed up wedge configuration to have 2 80cm Aluminum extenders on a skirt hinge and a 120cm Aluminum extender on a metal hinge (providing that feeder quality the last make didn't have)

I'll be testing this out later today.

Clone? It looks okay though. You might wanna add an extender or skirt on top of the bar so it can self right easier.

It can self right pretty easily. The Quad Mag has plenty of power just to throw Drazah back on its wheels if it does get flipped.

[Naryar]

How is this a clone ?

Anyways, you did it right ! You have 4 kg to work with though. Maybe upgrading the upper Alu sheets to Titanium.

If those 4 kg's didn't put me into Heavyweight land...

Is there any way for me to change it up so that 399.X kg still equals middleweight?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Try making the chassis a tiny bit smaller to eliminate the 0.2 kg.

Did so, lightened it up about 4 kg with Titanium upper panels (it's to 396.X kg now).

[Jack Daniels]

... because you keep using BMPs.
