Wherin Hydro actually tries

[Kossokei]

Yes, I am planning on giving it a better skin once this computer has Gimp. See, I'm temporarily restricted to using my brother's guest workstation. He doesn't want me downloading programs on it. He said he'll do it himself at some point.



EDIT: Doubled drum width, added srimech and put on better Lexan placement. Now has Aluminum 3.

Looks good.

[Merrick]

Definitely an improvement.

Old one looked a bit messy.

[Mr. AS]

it looks alright i suppose. you might want to get rid of that T arrangement and use a lexan panel or something for aesthetic view.

[Hydro]

Lexan panels can't intersect with the chassis.

Anyways, the new skin

GHETTO MSPAINT WRITING FOR THE WIN
The bot is a major improvement. The ghetto paint job and the name "Wahey" goes great together.

[Hydro]

Funnily enough, the writing and slots were all I did in Paint. The rest was Gimp.

[Hydro]

DP: Another DSL 3 IRL bot, Titanium Titan. This thick-skinned travesty is truly terrible, though its 10mm titanium integument totally terminates typical thwacks. [/added alliterative appeal][/size]

[Tweedy]

Can you show us a pic of it in the test area so we can see the paintjob and how it looks while sitting?

[Hydro]

Uh, sure! Please allow 3-5 hours for skinning, most of which will be waiting for programs to load.

EDIT: Didn't need Gimp for this one, so it took less time.


The only reason I took the shot of it under the toolbox was because I had never made a wedge good enough to get under it so easily before. I parked the bot in front of the box and tapped the forward key.

[helloface]

I like it.

[Tweedy]

I like the look of it but it would look better as a front hinged flipper rather than a weird piston popup thing.

[Hydro]

So, like Mute or Firestorm, yes? Ok. I'll export it and make a flipper version, after I get back from Labor Ready.
