RA2Winner999's DSL showcase
« on: March 04, 2018, 08:33:49 PM »
Here are some pics of my bots. Use constructive criticism.

P.S. its name is Hammerblade.

Hammerblade v2 is out! Say "This feedback is talking about v2" before writing a review. A little shrinking gave me weight for long batteries, 3mm Titanium instead of 1mm plastic, and an extra skirt! I used smaller hammers to stop the hammers clipping through the perm belt.


I modified the design and followed Dreamcast's advice.
It got under a "small wedge leading up to burst motor" design head on!
Here are some pics.

Just a quick heads up theres a tutorial on how to use the image attachment right
https://gametechmods.com/forums/site-news-and-feedback/how-to-use-insert-attachment/
Anyways welcome to the forums, I reccomend making the chassis smaller, looks alright for a newbie tho.

Good to see it beating the original article. But there are a few places to clean up.
You don't need to spam ant batteries anymore as they're not effective for their weight. Obviously, this isn't your fault because nobody's updated the tutorials yet. Shrinking your chassis to the size of the new battery and using that weight for weapons/motors will improve it too.

hammers cutting through the perm belts is a no-no, so that needs to be fixed.

be sure to shrink the chassis to fit your components, that frees up a lot of weight for more weapons, better drive, etc.

ballast is wasted weight and could be used on grippier tires instead

it's decent for what it is (beating mako is proof of that) but it could definitely use some improvement.

Welcome to the forums, btw!

Hello again, and welcome to my showcase! As always, use constructive criticism.



A little chassis shrinking goes a long way! I got weight for 3mm Ti. and long batteries instead of ants. + 1 extra skirt. I slightly downgraded the hammers so they don't clip through the Perm 132 belts.

UPDATE Check my old showcase for this.

Better.

I have two pointers. In DSL 2.2 the game tells you how long a battery can power a motor and all motors run at full power until the battery is at 0%. If you're still using DSL 2.1, just use four ants. Second, try not to attach more than one skirt to a single hinge, I've been told a single hinge is not as wedgy.

Is this IRL or not? Also, i feel that the large beaters on the small disc ruins the aesthetic. Though the wedge looks good

This is irl.

Reply to badger: 50-70% of showcases have uncropped images. I have to argue, not editing helps more  than hurts the image. It shows the weight of the robot without needing to edit.

Oh my god, stop being so lazy! Just include the weight of the robot in the edited image, ya turkey! 50-70% of showcases have uncropped images, ey? Well, seeing as I'm the one who stores all the images for BOTM, let's see if this is true...

...Aaaaand no. Not even close. In fact, only 21% of images are uncropped, and that's mainly because of the influx of noobs as of late, and because [cringey name goes here] spammed a bunch of uncropped images in Replicas, which he got heavy, HEAVY flak for. In fact, removing [cringey name goes here]'s spammage reduces the number down to a measly 9%, so you ain't fooling nobody with that claim, kid.

No excuse for laziness. Stop being ****ing lazy. You want people to bother giving feedback on your bots? Bother to edit the damn thing.

Thank you, you learnt something today. Badger showcased using MS Paint, but I personally recommend Paint.NET - It's free, versatile, and IMO, better than even Photoshop.

Also, if you want to, then use a greenscreen. Just edit one of the backgrounds to be a neon green.
