the middle set of bars claps inwards, another take on a side hammer that would double as a ram. i dont remember if i put the middle spike on a piston or not

[toAst]

Ooh that looks very 2006.

I know im a time travelling wonder!! I never seen a middleweight one though. I actually started building with lightweight in mind but realized that was nearly impossible. I still want to try it though cause I don't like this little ****er. hes slow and he bores me. im just excited... first build since my computer died!! its something

I don't think I had the game on that computer long enough to get my sea legs back really so its probably going to suck for a little bit so face it! 

[toAst]

i really wish i still had all of the cool team logos that i made back then on that little computer. i had that thing for like a month.

so i made this thing!!! i got all of the stuff people told me to get as well as the nifty cheat mod where i can intersect basically everything and attach everywhere and started building. i wanted to experiment with fancy extenderwork and this is what happened. it is really terrible and the teeth i used do no damage. it didnt have the front skirt or the burst in the back for self inverting in the first iteration, i basically just kept adding things and adding things until i couldn't add anymore in an attempt to make it less than terrible and it actually managed to continue to be rather terrible. so even cheating you can't just overlap and overload your way out of terrible bot building... who knew?

i still think it looks kind of pretty. you dont need to see the insides, it basically just looks like a bunch of car batteries overlapped on some zteks drives (which were added after the fact, this started off as a middleweight and i promptly said **** that as soon as i realized how deep i was going to go in on my extender cage)

now here is the thing!!!

[NeonCalypso]

Hey I actually liked the extender cage though.

[jdg37]

I don't know anything about nightmare teeth, but I do like the extender setup to spam them.

[toAst]

first one is just playful ****ing around with a bad idea, second one started as a serious attempt at an effective and semi realistic drum bot that over the course of building just got worse until it was just bad. not going to get better unless i keep building. want to be competitive in the little tourney i wanted to start. as you can plainly see, i am not even close yet. dsl is hard

[Jammy Dodger]

for the first bot.... dat camber tho :V. But seriously you might want to try a less angled setup/lighter set up by putting the astros on the front(or back) of the extender and tilt them a bit. For the drum put one skirt wedge on a skirt hinge, also try and put some better drive motors on (ie: npc's). And maybe get some more beaters on there :P. Solid stuff tho

[toAst]

yo **** i am still bad at this but really bad ffs

[toAst]

need to develop a robot worth driving in a tournament in a week's time and im working constantly right now and have no time

i think im going wall of spikes rammer route. maybe a hammer. something fast. that's worked for me before
lets see tomorrow
