wait a second are those metal hinge wedges

Nothing else would fit.

Then rebuild it? Nobody accepts metal hinge wedges as IRL.



That looks freakin' amazing, Courthouse. Seriously, amazing job there. Don't rebuild it; it already looks amazing as-is.

But, If I have to be nitpicky, I don't like how the titanium skirt juts out like that. And, IMO, it doesn't really need wedges at all. IRL is almost 100% about looks, so why bother going for the metal hinge competitive edge?

Sod you guys and your hatred of metal hinges that looks very nice. Most bots will be hit by the spinner before the wedges get a chance to do anything anyway.

Personally, I don't give a pig's arse about wedges. It's just everyone else hates them and so the de facto guidelines are not to use them.

Excellent work. Despite the metal hinges (which kinda completes the look), it's great!

Sure I would... But there is a major problem. Two actually: I do not know how to AI (Or place SZ's for anything other than: Flippers, Axes, SnS's, and Pokers), and one of the bots I made is a servo powered crusher (Will post in my showcase soon) which are hard to AI I have heard

I needed something to prevent it from doing a faceplant on the arena floor. The Ti skirts are there to make it so the half sheets don't appear to be floating above the wheelguards with no support. I don't like it either but I didn't have enough weight to use anything else for it.

This design will get a negative response because it sucks

So here is my first Lightweight
an awful IRL design that would make even a skunk cringe.
here is Creeper.

Are you actually seeking for negative attention ?

Good. Then lurk, see other showcases, analyze tournament rounds, find new ideas.

Also actual advice on the bot:
-Chassis is far too tall and too big in general for a LW VS
-Needs more weaponry, a smaller disc and maybe a stronger motor. If you do use a better motor, be sure to protect it because most weapon motors usable in the LW division have bad hitpoints, excepted for the piglet.
-Not only is the overall shape of the bot pretty unappealing, the paintjob is ugly because you're using wildly different colors. Learn about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors and use them aesthetically.

He said it was IRL. Realistically it would not have more weapons. A better weapon motor would not go amiss, but an overaly small chassis would be unrealistic too. If it were shorter but had a chassis wedge out front it would be more realistic and the weapons would be more suitable.

That's not bad attempt in IRL DSL at all. It just needs some tuning and it all should be fine.
