Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

[Gazea2]

Generic LW VS. 247.5, plastic 3 blah de blah. I'm starting to really like DSL.

[ty4er]

that chassis...

if you swap the disk for a halfplate so you get a wider stance and protection and then put the perm on the halfplate, change the disk for a hexplate and put a skirt or something on the otherside of the perm to protect it.

and vlads would help if you manage to find some weight.

[Gazea2]

Smaller chassis. The skirt setup is funkeeee as I couldn't think of any other way to attach it.

[ty4er]

uh 80 cm skirt and one off the back with the motors on?

[Gazea2]

<mega facepalm>
Why am I so special? That would work.

[Gazea2]

Done that. It's a lot more stable now. Anything else that I could do?

[ty4er]

and then put the perm on the halfplate, change the disk for a hexplate and put a skirt or something on the otherside of the perm to protect it.

but that might make it weaker, idk

why the does it misses a razor in that pic

Hooray for much cleaner setups! Tite 5, fully realistic.

I hope those are normal NPCs, they have tons of HP, while the fast ones have nearly none. Also, you shouldn't have the spinners so wide. A skinny robot or a VS blade will drop straight onto your chassis because they will be too skinny for the spinners to hold away. Tite 5 or not, a small chassis like that can't take much of a beating.

[Badnik96]

That still looks really strange. Chassis is too tall IMHO.

[SKBT]

Angle the chasis back a bit to take advantage of the invincible bottom armor, connect the perm off the attachment point on the front right of the 1/2 sheet with a 20cm extended to center it. This will lower the weapon a bit and make it slightly less awkward.

You also might want to just attach a 80cm alu sheet as a stabilizer off the polycarb sheet instead of the flipper maker/20cm sheet setup you've got now.

What pic? It isn't missing a razor in any of them.

Ahh, thanks for the advice. I've now added an 80cm tite sheet in the middle and have changed the NPC Fasts back to normal NPCs.

It needs to be that tall for the half-sheet.

Yup, I've already changed that weird sheet setup. Thanks for the advice; it worked very well. :D

YAY NEW AV
...oh, and a new bot:



I've just been trying out this skirt setup. 5 ants, plastic 3, buckets of fail

[NFX]

I really like that setup, nice and compact. Perhaps you could use some of the remaining weight to beef up the skirts, though, you could definitely do better than poly and alu. I'd say you only need one Metal Hinge in the center as well, that might help with the wedginess of it. Could probably do with being a bit wider too, would that be possible?

[Gazea2]

Thanks. I probably can make it wider and beef up the skirts. I just need to rebuild it first as it won't open up for some reason. >.>

[ty4er]

i don't really see any need to widen it, seems good enough for me.

Go with one wedge and way more frontal armour.

[Gazea2]

Waaay more frontal armour, one wedge (DSL bar + small wedge), 3 razors, 5 ants, plastic 3. 247.something. The skirt on top protects the BSG AND it can still self right! :D

[NFX]

Looking excellent now. I do like the skirt on top, that's a nice feature. How often does it come into play?

[ty4er]

the skirt on top look ugly :P

If ra2 allows you put 2 normal skirts on

still not as much armour as mine but whatever

[Gazea2]

Seems to come into play quite often. It deflects hits well and protects the motor. Mission accomplished. :D

Shh. :P
I could put 2 normal skirts on but they wouldn't protect the motor as well. Plus, 2 tite skirts make it overweight.

The wedge seems to be good. It managed to 2HKO the LW popup in 123AI.
