Not the biggest fan of the color scheme, but all in all it isn't terrible. Just try to get it closer to the weight limit if you're entering it in anything.

moved that to DSL showcase so you may stop posting DSL bots in the custom showcase.

There are some custom components on there. But the last is the DSL version.

Post the custom version in the custom thread, and the DSL version in the DSL thread. It's really not difficult.

only custom stuff i see is some reskinned components. but maybe it has custom internal components. if it really counts as custom (and not Jaydee custom) then move it back to your other showcase.

I bet you thought I'd stopped. YOU ARE WRONG!
I saw a picture of GoldenFox's General Generic drawing, so I bring "The Genetic" General Generic (had to put my own touch on it) :

Its name is "General Generic"

Somewhere, a bald eagle just died. What the actual hell is that not-american flag doing on top of your robot.


As the current owner of the robot that came out of General Generic, it certainly isn't the worst robot you've made. Certainly needs a good old fashioned skin cleanup though. You also may want to put something on the flat sides so it can't get stuck there.

Despite the fact that's it's completely bland and uninteresting, I somehow kinda like it. You wizard.

It is a USA lookalike flag, to give GG its own touch. Do you think DSL bars would work on the side for stabilisers? I was gonna keep it flat like the picture but it's a good idea.
Thanks for GIMP Paranoia, btw.

Honestly, this feel like you're actively trying to make GF93's bot look bad. I'm not completely annoyed, yet here are a few things you can do to improve it for using MS paint to make texture:


1. Start with a simple skin you make in the game and use that for a template once you export it.
2. Make a higher resolution skin by raising the pixels to something like 1024x1024 (You can go higher, but I think this is enough). This way you can have more room to make a skin look good.
3. Try to restrain yourself from shrinking the textures that you want to apply so they don't look blurry unless it's almot the same size you need it to be.
4. Handpainting on a computer is harder than you think, especially if you use little room to work with. If you really want to though, try to make sure it doesn't look like something that it would look ugly. (Oh yeah I've tried and it didn't work so well in the end (Example: Before/After) So in a nuthell: Remember the KISS Rule
5. Find a couple pre-made images and experiment with what wold look cool in the end. While I mostly use them for sponsor images and flag decals, you can still find some images that would fit the motif you're going for. The text applies to this too.


If you look at the the above bot, you can see the suggestions I specified apply here. It's not perfect, but If you made the skin look good, you got the job done.

That's basically what I could recommend you to use to make MS paint skins look good. Hopes this helps. That or use a professional version of paint. No one's stopping you.

It kind of has an early robot wars vibe just from looking at the shape and components. It's ok-ish.

the skin is trash though. stop using ms paint. it looks like NES diarrhea.

I have to agree with the others. There's something about it which is pleasing. I think it's due to the mix of Berserk and Steg-O-Saw-Us.

The skin is beautiful. Can I have an HD download? <3

I wish I could start my profile over again (my first thought when I found this thread  :ermm: )
Anyway, I made an entry for RedAce's Deathmatch Tournament:
