Jake Williamson's terrible showcase

[Jakewilliamson]

Time to showcase:

Here's my Heavyweight entry for BB9



Weight's at 792.4



Dose it look irl enough?

[Mystic2000]

you gonna need to add side supports to the disc i think, otherwise it should be OK

[Jakewilliamson]

Will this do?

[madman3]

If you could try and get the extenders to be located around the center of the disk that would be best.

[Jakewilliamson]

Like this?

EDIT: Oh yeah, my heavyweight is named death cloudis by the way

[Shield]

didn't MikeNCR do something like this?

Anyways, looks cool/

[Jakewilliamson]

Now for my BB9 lightweight entry



Using Hworf blade because, yeah.





Any ides to make it Irl?

[Shield]

Not IRL at all.

The blade cuts through the wheels and the motors and the chassis, even if you added slots it wouldn't work. You'll have to expand the chassis (either make a T-shape or make a kinda of extender support like Last Rites has) or make a new bot. Also, left motor kinda sticks out a bit too much.

[Jakewilliamson]

Then here's a much better and irlish magic cloud or more like dust cloud

[Camaro Kid]

That's looks better

[Shield]

Looks better. Definitely. I think the Chassis is too high, but it's IRL-ish at least.

[Mr. AS]

It's better, but that's not to say its nearly there yet. You need something at the front to make the spinners placement less ugly. As in, maybe a chassis wedge or a few spikes. You can't just have a gigantic-ass bar that's nearly twice the size of your bot at the front like that. I would also recommend upgrading the weapon motor.

Alternatively, you could re-arrange the setup so that the bar is in the center, like Tornado mer. You would also have to re-do the chassis shape to not be as ugly, go for something like a wedged octagon.

Even the tornado mer would fit, it will still be to heavy.

Anyway, improved it.

 

[Badnik96]

All those pole spikes are doing are looking ugly and blocking people from hitting your weapon...

[Shield]

Dude I honestly think you should make a new chassis, cause your current one isn't doing you any good.

[Jakewilliamson]

Had to try and make it much better.

[Shield]

The chassis is more suited for a flipper, but it's alright. Better than the last one.

The skirt hinges however, are sticking out and they look horrid. Replace it with a hinge. (If I'm not mistaken you gotta raise it up 1 notch otherwise it'll be illegal to enter to BB9)

Other than that, looking good.

[Mr. AS]

You made the wedge too big. Try having a chassis wedge on both sides. Just get rid of the skirt hinge, don't make it a metal hinge or axle wedge like shield is saying to.

Honestly, if you just did something like HS/rammer one with shorter spikes and a small box chassis, it would be fine.

[Jakewilliamson]

Happy now with it.

[TommyProductionsInc]

If possible, try and place a small wedge at the front, so robots ride up on it to meet their demise.
That's the only thing I think needs to be improved, your getting the hang of this real quickly.

On an unrelated note: I'M NOW A MIDDLEWIGHT!
