It's a mess.

Any ideas on how to solve this? Can you be more specific?

I AM INVINCIBLE!
*Checks behind for liquid nitrogen tanks*

My thought of course for this bot: its not invincible, its a complete mess of garbage!

Fair enough. Alright.

-One wonders why you have a wedged chassis at the front when your design is a standard rammer.
-Random cutting teeth, they do nothing, aren't aesthetically pleasing and they don't add to weaponry
-To a lesser extent, behemoth hammers also look somewhat random. is it rear protection ? uh
-The hell is up with all this mess of flippermakers on the front of the bot ? half of them don't do anything, and it doesn't look good.

the problem with your bot, avalanche, is that you've had a lot of ideas and you tried to cram them all into the same bot. However, these ideas are in different directions, if you catch my drift, and it makes for a bot quartered between different ideas.

if you gotta build a design you gotta make all the ideas of the design work together. Here... they don't.

Agreeing with Avalanche here, instead of going 'LOL IT LOOKS BAD', point out why and what can be improved - especially in the case of those who I don't think I've seen build to a much higher standard themselves...

EDIT: Nary beat me to the punch on actually explaining, but my point still stands to Jake.

Naryar · « **Reply #244 on:** July 19, 2015, 02:05:24 PM »

just so you guys know... "it's a mess" means "this here robot is having an unnecessarily complex design. that means you can fix it by reworking the parts of the bot that use too much components to achieve what they must do".

there. it's simple.

And yea i'll agree with craaig, jake, you ain't a better builder than avalanche, stop posting borderline flamebait in this showcase.

Avalanche · « **Reply #245 on:** July 19, 2015, 02:10:43 PM »

Yeah, I re used a old chassis on this. I will keep this bot but its arse tbh. I will make something else.
And Jake is paying me back in kind for what i did to his showcase.

ayy lmao

This is the first in a series of 6 football named bots, based on my old DSL 2.1 Attacker and Defender tag team from when I was DSL MW Tag Team champion.
Lightning Spikes are there to prevent bot getting stuck on its side.

IRL ?

Scorpion · « **Reply #248 on:** March 11, 2016, 10:39:47 AM »

A bit bland for IRL atm, and too under-weaponed for standard.

You could build a frame around the bot (incorporating the wedges or not), Motor/weapon protection, maybe a different or more elaborate wedge set-up.

Well then. It's been a while, hasn't it?

My dramatic first foray into the world of DSL2.2 building. The armor is Alu 5.

The spike club arms aren't attached to the same point and the asymmetry is driving me mad.

090901 · « **Reply #253 on:** October 09, 2016, 04:05:26 PM »

wheel guards need to be brought into closer to the chassis, using angled extenders as the axe holders looks awful, the vlad wedge should be brought back so its flush with the chassis and the spike club arms look useless and dumb

will do tomorrow

^ mfw avalanche returns

I have returned!

To begin with, here is a robot that i've been working on for the past week, off and on: (Speed-Attack Flipper) Challenger Mk. 1. Or (S.A.F) C Mk. 1 for short. (You'll only get it if you know your Premier League football.) Built with 4 NPC fasts inside it, it is ridiculously fast when all the wheels touch the ground. It has larger wheels in the back to try and ensure all wheels touch the ground so the flipper has a decent wedge, but it hasn't been tested in this configuration yet. It runs the largest VDMA burst so that it has power behind it's flipper. It can be hard to control, but it's fun to use. I have an idea to convert it into a wammer or rammer, so there's food for thought there.

This bot will most likely end up in Badnik's tournament, alongside Raus Mk. II which is currently in production.

Top protection and looks, mostly looks however.
