Jake Williamson's terrible showcase

[Elementos]

^This entirely.

[Jakewilliamson]

Fine Nary, because you said I don't listen everyone's advice , im just gonna do it cause im a great burn it off, How about Sgt let:

[Lemonism]

I don't get it. What were you trying to achieve by posting those?
Seems to me you could have just tried to improve your existing robot in the time it took to build those, and been a more respected builder because of it.
Posting these doesn't help you become a better builder, and doesn't exactly make you look like you actually want to improve or get along here.

And what do you actually mean by this:

im just gonna do it cause im a great burn it off

Does that mean you are going to try to improve your previous bot? Or were you referring to what you just built?

[Elementos]

I totally agree. I know you're trying to be funny or just be a troll, but either way, it isn't benefiting anyone. We're trying to help you to improve your bots and it's quite disrespectful to us as a community to throw that advice away. Especially when the advice comes from one of the best RA2 builders on the site. I don't want to sound like i'm ranting at you, but just take it into consideration that a showcase is for you to gain advice and become a better bot builder. You're going to have a hard time doing that if you don't let others help you.

Well I wasn't being a troll and being funny, I just want storm dragons chassis like this cause I can't bother to , and when naryar told me I don't listen to the gametechmods people I was like you know what screw that bring in Sgt LET, and like I said im not trolling and being funny.

I will still Improve my bots over time Lemonism, I just never concentrate.

The thing is, if you showcase and people see something to improve, they will suggest it. It's to help you improve your design and your skills, it's why we have showcases. Throwing that back in their faces isn't something people take too kindly, which is understandable I'm sure you can agree.

You aren't going to improve like that. If you can't be bothered to change your robot, showcasing is pointless.

I know that, and like I said im not even trolling and being funny, the bot I showcased was Sgt let, I was only joking. -_-

[Lemonism]

It's all very well saying you like the chassis as it is, but if you take a look in any of the showcases of the really good builders, whether standard dsl or IRL, you will see that the chassis of their bots are only as big as they need to be  - enough to fit all of the components, with very little space going to waste. Making a big chassis for looks might be acceptable, but when your chassis is just a big rectangle shape there is no point to making it overly large. It won't look good, and the weight could be better spent elsewhere.

[cephalopod]

Okay then.
For a concept multibot, Sgt Let is sort of amusing, although I couldn't guess what weightclass it'd fight as, not that it could fight as it is a 3 part multibot. Either way, the following advice is just from the externals.
-The saws on L aren't gonna hit anything, consider a larger saw on the top of the L.
-On E I'd use something rather than spike strips, they look a little odd there.
-Does T work as an overhead thwack type thing? If so, that's quite cool, but the hammer extender not being central bugs my OCD.

...you said it was a serious bot and not a joke/troll, so there's my advice

[playzooki]

Is it even possible to build working overhead thwacks in ra2?

[cephalopod]

Yep, get something going fast enough with weight balanced well, then stop it and put it into reverse momentarily, and the top will swing. Whether this can be AIed is another matter. I worked on a few overhead hammer bots with axle wedges (so they'd stay static) a few years ago, were fun to drive.
I doubt T would work like this because all the weight is on one side of the bot but it is possible with experimentation (and very large wheels)

If storm dragon always like his chassis with empty space im willing of not using him at all in some tourneys.

OK, we better stop this right now, im finish with storm dragon, now making a SHW cloudian bot.

Got rid of them, sorry about that, need to work on my SHW cloudian bot.

[Naryar]

I was not attacking you at all man, neither did I meant offense, just giving advice.

And you do whatever you want with it. Simply I put some EXTRA EMPHASIS on the advice since it seemed you didn't get it.

You are free to make a cool but unefficient chassis for one of your bots : simply say that is it just built for cool looks.

There. But as you are new we may have believed that you just didn't made your chassis smaller out of sheer new-ness instead of a building will.

[Jakewilliamson]

Was not happy how death cloudis preformed in its first tournament so I upgraded him:

Chassis is the same, skirts as promised, More beaters on the disc, and faster, not sure if Irl realistic.

[MassimoV]

So, it's just Oizys now.

[Jakewilliamson]

So, it's just Oizys now.

Yes, Oizys 1 before it was upgraded to Oizys 2.

[Shield]

Skirts look ugly thh just use the hinge

[Jakewilliamson]

Ok, Give me a standard DSL bot type weapon for RA2 trials 4.
