Jonzu, I hope you didn't take that picture too seriously. I'm actually giving you the credit for the existence of this bot because I got the idea once I saw your post. It's crazy but ideas can come from everywhere  ;)
Of course I didn't, and you're welcome. :approve:

You got the feet wrong.  The large claws should be inside.

I'm pretty sure that oversized claw should be bigger compared to the other ones, and that they have longer necks. /nitpick

it looks pretty damn awesome otherwise

thank you all  :smile:

oh baby if you could get this to run that would be so sweet.

I wish. I'm still convinced 2 legged working bots are possible but it's really hard. I had to replace the feet and put on wheels instead for grip. Not very dinosaur like  :rolleyes:

Indeed you're right, m8. Fixed it in pics below

I'm pretty sure that oversized claw should be bigger compared to the other ones, and that they have longer necks. /nitpick

The cutting tooth was the only good candidate for for the oversized claws. The perfect one would be the Nightmare tooth but since it has only one attachment point on the right it looks weird. The rest were too small or too big or not claw shaped at all.
As for the neck, I couldn't make any longer. The metal hinge is positioned as far as possible. The rule of 7 also steps in the way. If I make a longer neck the head becomes incomplete.

Here it is 2 pics with the nightmare tooth and how it looks from both sides and the 3rd is the same as before but with the big claws in the right place.

I also fail to see how the last one is more IRL than the second one.

I think the idea is that there's now a slot in the frame that the claw fits into, and before it was a solid chunk of armor.

Yes, and claw when activated would pass right through the front armor. The self righting mechanism is inside the chassis, cutting through all the batteries, pistons, motors, etc, while in the IRL version it's positioned outside the chassis and the front armor is removed to avoid unrealistic overlapping.

I'm new to IRL building so I don't know how far exactly should the bots be IRL

ok i didn't see enough the insides

and in IRL cutting through armor is fine : cutting through power and mobility components isn't.

So whatever customized armor I build I can still make things cut through it?

Yes. Only as long as it doesn't compromise the integrity or effectiveness of the armor, though.

Got it. Thanks for the info, m8
Not sure if this was covered by "mobility" or not but moving parts intersecting each other is also unrealistic, but certain static parts intersecting each other is sometimes acceptable, depends on the situation. You just gotta ask, IRL rules are a rather gray area.

Thanks. Just point out my faults in my future IRL bots and I'll try to get around them.

Here's another IRL bot. I think for now on I'll add the term "IRL" in their name to distinguish them from non IRL.









It has quite a bit of empty space though. I'm not proud of that but the Bot is actually very good against other IRL HWs. It has Titanium 3mm

>fast
>agile
>good weaponry
>hard to flip

>cannot upright itself
>Low protection

dat chassis.

Only problem is the disks. One of them is facing down and the other is facing up. 259 disks do that and there's no other attachment point iirc.

Yeah I hated that. I circled all other available discs and that one fit better. I just had to make one disc spin one way and the other the opposite.

There are actually 4. One over another. I had previously 6. But weight limits forced me to reduce the number. I actually wanted more battle packs because the bot loses power really fast.

Only thing wrong with it in my eyes is the chassis sticking up like that, but that can't be helped.
