ugh take my crappy bot

And now, (a) bot(s) that I like much more than that one.

My first multibot, Pestilence Brothers. Wedge takes punishment, while the disk (with surprisingly good control and decent speed) ramms the enemy and causes damage.
EDIT: I didn't bother with skins since I'm going to re-use the planned skin for my BB8 entry.

The problem is they just look really generic. Nothing sets them apart from every other boring IRL hunk of metal y'all new guys are making. The spinner also looks pretty sloppy.

helloface · « **Reply #422 on:** November 16, 2013, 08:45:47 PM »

What do you mean sloppy? The chassis & disk are super tight, there is no space wasted.

MassimoV · « **Reply #423 on:** November 16, 2013, 09:14:39 PM »

Yeah but look how much space is in between the disc and the chassis. I know it's to keep trhe beaters off the ground but it looks really weird.

helloface · « **Reply #424 on:** November 17, 2013, 01:29:03 AM »

Yeah, I guess so. I don't really want to sacrifice that though, because the beaters are so low that it functions as an anti-wedge device and makes it very stable.

They both just look ugly.

Sorry helloface but I'm gonna have to agree with the majority here. If you want to build robots for the purpose of winning, try DSL-S. Otherwise, you just aren't going to improve.

helloface · « **Reply #428 on:** November 17, 2013, 05:00:02 PM »

Is this better?

MassimoV · « **Reply #429 on:** November 17, 2013, 06:47:31 PM »

Yeah that looks better.

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #430 on:** November 18, 2013, 12:40:24 AM »

Definitely. Looks a bit too much like Tuna Can, but better nonetheless.

helloface · « **Reply #431 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:38:11 PM »

Around 244, St3 or St5.

Low ground clearance, very durable, great wedge effectiveness, excellent pushing power

Low damage capability

MassimoV · « **Reply #432 on:** November 19, 2013, 10:03:21 PM »

Skin?

helloface · « **Reply #433 on:** November 19, 2013, 11:02:11 PM »

Not done, it was an improv bot meaning I just made it up as I went along. I will make a skin though.

Naryar · « **Reply #434 on:** November 20, 2013, 01:23:27 AM »

Nah, that's a crap wedge.

Make it invertible aswell.

I'd just like to +1 these statements. That last one looks much closer to IRL in my opinion though, and Pestilence looks cool.

The wedge is actually pretty good.
Also it would probably look weird invertible. I'll try, but it'll probably look bad.

helloface · « **Reply #437 on:** December 12, 2013, 07:41:12 PM »

Pros: Excellent wedge, good durability
Cons: Gets destroyed by HSs, glitchy srimech, ghey wedges

5mm Steel armour. Also the skin isn't done yet.

Schrikvis · « **Reply #438 on:** December 13, 2013, 03:20:34 AM »

The front looks kinda exposed but it looks awesome nonetheless.
Loving the extender decoration you did with the perms.

Naryar · « **Reply #439 on:** December 13, 2013, 06:01:08 AM »

is that irl or dsl realistic or something between both styles ?

Looks cool. Make it invertible or add a srimech though.
