So here it is (please don't laugh)

Thang

Notes:
Steel 1
Self Rights well
Flipper not as strong as I would like, but then again it is a LW
Battery life not as long as I would like.

Please crop your pics. If you only have MS paint, get Paint.net here for free, and use it to crop out the botlab.

As always, trim the chassis down. Use a BSG (Or 2 if you need) for the flipper. As for the batteries, 1 per spin motor, 2.5 per BSG (Round up). Finally, are those metal hinge wedges? If not they should be. How does it perform in-game?

Also, have you fixed your Internet issues?

What's attached to that steel ex? I can't make it out.

I'll edit this post when I've had a better look @ the bot.

Also, have you fixed your Internet issues?

No just using a different user.

Also I'm currently working from a laptop. The screen is only 10" and I have no mousepad (Was tough makin the bot.)

I will {try} to crop it

And at RS, what steel extenter?

Sorry, whatever's on the end of that JX.

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #5 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:35:05 PM »

Titanium Wedge thing.

ty4er · « **Reply #6 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:36:28 PM »

Mr. AS · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:36:59 PM »

what happened to your other dsl showcase

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #8 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:37:18 PM »

Oh, so it's a flipper. Ok. By the way, it's a very underweight middleweight.

In Paint.net, just select the bot and click 'Crop to selection' in one of the drop-down menus.

Small JXs suck for flipping. Use two BSGs and metal hinges instead of baseplate anchors for wedges. Lower your ground clearance (use hypnodisc wheels) and maybe make the drive faster if you have weight. Steel is kinda mediocre armor too, I'd use plastic 3.

@ty Don't fully understand what you mean

@Awsum Nary deleted it because I had no bots in it

Still working on cropping

Also, what this be enterable in a DSL LW tourney? I mean it does say MW, but its under 249.99 kg. I think Naryar would be proud of me, for building to the weight limit.

There's actually a standalone button. It looks like this:

LW is up to 248.9, I believe. RA2 might let you off with 249.0 if you're lucky.

It would not be allowed in a DSL LW tournament. The max weight limit is 249.0 for lightweights.

Eh? That's about a hundred less than it should be.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2012, 03:53:37 PM »

probably a typo

GarvinTheGreat · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2012, 04:03:58 PM »

The metal hinge thing isn't workin. Everytime I put the hinge on it glitches out and half the hinge fly's around, preventing me from putting anything on it.

switch tabs or go to the test garage and back

Hmmm...

I dunno. But any DSL showcase I had has been deleted.
