Jets' DSL showcase

[cephalopod]

Eh. Vs is too easy to build,

Angry face.
Not necessarily, especially if you try and make it look sexy too.


ANYWAY this is probably one of my new favourite showcases. No idea why, I just like it.

Try this chassis shape for the SS:

Just use a polycarb extender sideways, gives you 8 more KG to add MOAR RAZORZZZ

I tried, still found it pickle glitching for some reason. Will try to rebuild it in a bit, right nao i'm messing around wif other things.

If you mean replacing the 40cm skirt on top for that, that only gives me an extra 2KG, hardly more razorz. :P It certainly calls for a rebuild though at some point.
 
Been trying to expand my 'building knowledge'. As fun as rammers and flippers are to build, I refuse to be a one trick pony. ><
    This is what came out of about an hour's tinkering:
 

 
Drive: NPC-T64 norms
Armour: Tite 3
Power: 4 Ants
 
Kinda generic, but for me it's a step forward just because i'm building another type of bot. >< The wedge isn't the best of my wedges, but it's reliable enough to work 9/10 times. The two bottom discs spin inwards, and the upper one spins 'downwards' (based on the angle most bots get into contact with it anyway). Quite effective, more of a pin-grinder than something that just chews through robots. I had more fun with the upper disc spinning 'upwards' and acting more like a VS, but with the low HP mag motor (atleast i'm pretty sure it has low HP) just behind it which is otherwise unreachable unless something's on top if it (lol VS flips) I figured it wasn't a good idea.
 
Thing that annoys me above all else with this bot though, it's unrealistic. ;< The middle spikes slightly cut through the two bottom discs. I could probably put the bottom ones slightly further apart should I remake it; but wanted to post it anyway for feedback since then I can make improvements to the bot itself as well as the realism at the same time. :P

I would try swapping the Irons for Small Beaters + Light DSL Teeth. I wouldn't mind about it if they only slightly cut through it, it would be doable IRL with the correct gaps and syncing.

Nice thing is now not only does it deal truckloads more damage, it also confides better with realism since the weapons are smaller in diameter. :3

[NFX]

I thought that would work. =] Irons are generally not very good in DSL. Small Beater + Light DS Tooth is almost always a better choice of weaponry. I'm guessing there are a couple of exceptions, but I'm not sure what they are.

[Jet-speed]

Yeah. I guess it's just the old stock in me, still partially hanging onto Razor Tips, shinies and Iron spikes for no adequately explained reason. That coupled with my limited knowledge of DSL = alot of my downfalls. :P
 
Edit: Just managed to get a screenshot of something that made me giggle.

Wasn't even a team match. :3

I see this guy becoming a very good DSL builder in the future.

I see this guy becoming a very good DSL builder in the future.

He is already good :P

[Jet-speed]

 
'Nuff said. :P
      Dropped some weight where I deemed I could to just go four Beaters/teeth on each disc. Dropped to 1mm plastic ( ) and downgraded the titanium bits I had protecting the old mags to  Poly and Alu with the little bit of weight that I had which couldn't be spent on armour. Managed to fix the AGOD issue with the wedge too so dropped it to Poly for weight since so far i've not seen it outwedged. Plastic isn't a big deal imo, since the front's pretty protected and it's hard to flank due to the drive speed, and if it's flipped or outwedged by a gut ripper it's screwed regardless.
 
OT:

<3333 to both. :D

LOOKS GREAT

[FOTEPX]

HERES AN IDEA, HOW ABOUT YOU STOP PUTTING YOUR POSTS IN ALL CAPITALS, IT'S KINDA DISTRACTING FROM THE ACTUAL BOT.

No, but seriously, the bot is good. Could be better if you used a hex plate instead and made that extender work a bit less messy. Also, it's underpowered.

[Jet-speed]

Yeah, is underpowered I know. :P Although all things considered I find it lasts long enough, specially now with the extra weapons; it strips bots of parts pretty quickly, or just gutrips them to death in 30 seconds. Should try to fit another ant or two in, but would involve a chassis remake. ;<
 
<--- Still trying to build another competetive HW that isn't a rammer. 

[Jet-speed]

DP: I wish I didn't fail at HW's. ._.

Drive: 4 NPCF's
Power: One PC545 and two Battlepacks
Armour: Tite 3
 
It's not overly bad, but the stabilization work isn't particularly pretty. Couldn't put more weapons on the small JX's due to the 7 attachment limit. Those skirt wedges are on a metal hinge and are respectably wedgy. ;< Lots of room for improvement, but ideas on how to do so would be great. Issue with me and HW's is I make a chassis with an idea and then it comes out underweight and I can seldom think of ways to efficiently utilize the leftover weight. The amount of my 'HW' ideas which have turned out to be MW's is stupid. :P

[Ben Purse]

Its not bad like you said but the wedges are useless.

[Jet-speed]

Just edited the first post. The two frontal wedges are really good. The one's out the rear aren't wedges as such, they're stabilisation.
