FOTEPX's DSL Showcase

[Mr. AS]

why st 3

Ate up the weight.

but it's just SO ineffective...

It's IRL.

Efficiency? In my IRL?

its more likely than you think
FREE RA2 CHECK

but no really swap out the armor st3 sucks dildos and using crap armor doesnt make it cooler

[Naryar]

Interesting weapon setup. Must be pretty bad in damage though.

Also this weapon doesn't look IRL at all.

[NFX]

Looks very cool. But yeah, something should be done about that weapon. Maybe drop to Tite 3, and get a cooler looking weapon, maybe a hexplate and Cutting Teeth or something like that.

[Philippa]

M'kay. Looks ok enough. Like the wheelguards.

[Naryar]

Another thing I noted...

Efficiency? In my IRL?

...You are mocking efficiency, then why are you using a mix of the most efficient weapon components for your weapon and efficient batteries in an "IRL" bot ?

Also why does that bot has only 3 ant batts when it needs 5 to be correctly powered IRL ? 3 ant batts = 3 spin motors, even if the game tells you otherwise, IS one of the hallmarks of DSL realistic.

Also why is the weapon's axle floating in the air without any support ? That's not IRL because in real life the belt would just fall, with the weapon as well.

You call yourself an IRL builder and mock efficiency but yet still build with DSL standard efficient building techniques ?

Adding wheelguards, decals and not using metal hinges doesn't make a bot IRL. An IRL bot is a bot that would work in real life just like AND just as well as it works in the game, with the exception of glitches,

Ok, Noob Bashing 101, Naryar.

If you're going to insult my bots for being rubbish, don't give the green flag to other robots that are worse off than this. That's called being hypocritical, Naryar, and you seem to have a quite a knack for being so. I mean, if you're gonna give THIS merits:



For having a cool-ish chassis, and yet completely and utterly rip into mine when they are clearly two opposite sides of the (ZX) Spectrum, I might as well give up right here.

Also, TBH, I actually couldn't care less about 'Hurr fully powered' or not. It has 3 batteries and it works fine, and changing it would acheive nothing.

I used the efficient components for a reason, Nar. I was trying to demonstrate that efficient components are only efficient when used correctly. And as such, this robot's weapon is absolute crap.

The axle is floating in mid-air because 90% of the time the majority of the weapon's mass is inside the chassis, which would make the robot's belt support be the actual chassis, rather than additional extenders.

I never mocked efficiency, Naryar. I simply said that more often than not Efficiency and IRL mix like a black man at an EDL meeting. And are you honestly trying to tell me that there haven't been underpowered bots IRL? Is that really what you're trying to tell me, Nar?

TL;DR:
Get Out.

first, my bot was just made for a bit of fun and to have the irl feel that 259 had which is evident from the name if not the look.
second, nary probably knew this and if you had seen the post after that you would have seen that i tried to improve on the design while still keeping the IRL feel rather than having a rant at nary for giving constructive criticism

[FOTEPX]

Y'know what, I can't be bothered arguing anymore. I'm just gonna go.

[TeamXtreemer]

Y'know what, I can't be bothered arguing anymore. I'm just gonna go.

Plus, your bot is crap.

[ty4er]

its a cool looking bot but not exactly irl

and have fun having 4 hours away from the computer

R.I.P. FOTEPX

[Mr. AS]

lol ragequit

[Tweedy]

guys I think we should just leave it now, it's his choice to leave and making fun of him is probably making it worse

[FOTEPX]

lol ragequit

Not really a ragequit, more of a 'you know you're losing the argument so quit while you're ahead' quit.

A YKYLTASQWYAQuit.

...My god, I need a life.

[ty4er]

guys I think we should just leave it now, it's his choice to leave and making fun of him is probably making it worse

...you really dont know much about gtm do you

[Tweedy]

...you really dont know much about gtm do you

probably not but i'm just trying to be sensible about it

[Naryar]

Ok, Noob Bashing 101, Naryar.

I didn't thought of you as a n00b, but if you define yourself as such... would explain your taking of criticism of a robot as a personal attack.

If you're going to insult my bots for being rubbish, don't give the green flag to other robots that are worse off than this.

1- I didn't insult your bot for being rubbish, I said it was less IRL than you thought.
2- I simply said that it had a cool chassis but too much empty space, how is this "giving the green flag ?"
3- Don't try and reject the blame by whacking someone lower than you on the social ladder, especially when he has done nothing wrong to you.
4-You seem to confuse your opinion with mine, or seem to think your opinion is universal. My comment, my opinion.

Also, TBH, I actually couldn't care less about 'Hurr fully powered' or not. It has 3 batteries and it works fine, and changing it would acheive nothing.

What you just said is a DSL realistic builder's point of view. From an IRL builder's it should be fully powered.  Because IRL it would be less powerful that it is in DSL. It's a similar case to popups and jugglers, just less obvious.

I used the efficient components for a reason, Nar. I was trying to demonstrate that efficient components are only efficient when used correctly.

I agree, and you have made your point.

The axle is floating in mid-air because 90% of the time the majority of the weapon's mass is inside the chassis, which would make the robot's belt support be the actual chassis, rather than additional extenders.

Uh, what ? Have a look at your weapon sideways and you will see that not even half the mass of the weapon is inside the chassis at any time.

Besides, the axle of the motor is unsupported, as well as the belt. The axle would go out of the belt quickly.

I never mocked efficiency, Naryar. I simply said that more often than not Efficiency and IRL mix like a black man at an EDL meeting. And are you honestly trying to tell me that there haven't been underpowered bots IRL? Is that really what you're trying to tell me, Nar?

1- You still build semi-efficient on that supposedly IRL bot, and you say IRL and efficiency don't mix. Seems like hypocrisy to me.
2- The fact that they were underpowered real life bot doesn't mean your IRL bot should.

TL;DR:
Get Out.

Is that an argument or just you being aggressive ?

[18:30:10] Erin Shima (Shima.33): ****ing Naryar
[18:30:42] Erin Shima (Shima.33): He acts like he ****in' runs the place
[18:30:58] Erin Shima (Shima.33): Well recently he bashed one of my bots
[18:31:07] Erin Shima (Shima.33): And wrote a huge 20-page essay on why it was sh**

1-I'm not acting like I run the place, I am saying you are fooling yourself if you think your bot is only IRL.
2-Your post answering mine was easily as long as mine, so you have hardly the right to complain about my comment being supposedly "too long".

lol ragequit

Not really a ragequit, more of a 'you know you're losing the argument so quit while you're ahead' quit.

A YKYLTASQWYAQuit.

That's exactly what a ragequit is.

[FOTEPX]

After quite a crapload of drama, I've decided to make some new stuff.

Some crap thing that I designed with the notion that 'It's from Series 1 of RW':



Something that EVERYONE has done:



And something Half-Original:


(Yes I do know that it was Namco that made Pac-Man, but there wasn't a Namco sponsor)

[Badnik96]

Likin' Pac-Bot and Tank, especially Pac-Bot.

[Mr. AS]

the saws are bfe'd on tank arent they
