LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase

[Probably Rob]

At least make the skin the same pattern, it looks really out of place otherwise

[090901]

i mean, i get what you are trying to do, but the execution isnt great and it just looks like a box with wings slapped on the side of it.

i was doing revision when i got a call

"team dark is kill"

"no"

so then i made this absolute work of art



THREE. BURST. FLIPPER. IF PALADIN DID IT THEN I CAN TOO.

PREPARE TO FEEL ANTI-GRAVITY MOTHERF***ERS

Ok, now serious mode. Basically I got worried and concerned after I failed to beat Baconus in our challenge. I pondered how I could get more power, after all that would be cheating and un-IRL if I did two bursts, right? 1 word that answered my concerns: PALADIN.

excuse me for a moment: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Now that's out the system, a continuation of the story of an Autist at Work:

Hence, I gave into the new meta and built this monstrosity. I saw the success of Strychnine in Redditbots, so i took the good old Anti Gravity Chassis^tm and it somehow perfectly fitted 3 storm bursts. I then took that and CF'd in 2 metal hinges for some E-wedges (because it's not an Anti Gravity Evo without the standardised E-wedge) and then closed the game, before realising it was slow and was kinda sh**ty in the state it was in, so i spent more time and got what you see in the picture.

Overall, this took me about 8 hours to build, reusing parts and chassis. I think the armor's something like Tit 5 but don't quote me on that. I need to see if I can align the bursts better for a cleaner flipper. And the Yellow-Orange colour scheme will be retired as soon as i get the motivation to reskin it, because damn i miss the good old black and yellow stripes.

IDK if its irl my dude, 3 bursts seems pretty silly for an IRL bot.

It's a forward flipper with no width, it's gonna get rekt by HS

now see the difference between your bot and paladin is that paladin actually makes an effort to look good

im gonna be frank the stacked emergency wedges are.... tacky.

id say you could make a better looking wedge from the steel/titanium panels and the accompanying wedges. DSC's IRL components pack should ensure you still have the Black/Yellow color scheme going on.

something like this:

alternatively, the beaters now have these new wedge styles that look pretty cool if put to good use

or, if you're creative enough, im sure there are other components that can double as wedges

(Image removed from quote.)

the wheels intersecting with the chassis sticking out like that feel weird. i would make the side even and just give it wheelguards or have the wheels stick out slightly more so it doesnt clip through the chassis

the top panel kinda ruin the chassis shape too tbh. i'd get rid of it personally

[TheRoboteer]

Either make the wedge shallower or the flipper shorter. The way it sticks out the top right now looks pretty awful. I'd also personally go for a less boxy chassis shape but that might just be me.

[Badnik96]

also the angles on your chassis that poke out where the wheels are look atrocious with the body panels you have.

i'm reluctant to change the chassis: it's sort of a running joke/thing that I reuse the Anti Gravity 4 chassis, and it fits the storm bursts too well. I do agree though. The middle flipper being long was for the purpose of trying to selfright when resting on the top panel but it's ****ing ugly so i'll switch that back to the same size as the other ones. Can i ask though: By flipper shorter, do you mean the middle one or all of them?

thanks for the constructive criticism m8

i've not got much inspiration for that level of wedge creation but yeah I agree they look sh** so i'll figure something out.

agreed on the wheels, i just hate having to scrap the chassis. i'll do that tho.

"IDK if its irl my dude, 3 bursts seems pretty silly for an IRL bot." wew lad

"It's a forward flipper with no width, it's gonna get rekt by HS" I could care less in all honesty. The AG series has for a long time now been about bulky (though this is bulky as in lots of height and boxy chassis, even with a sloped and thinner wedge), RW style chassis after the first 2 were too small and too fast, and I kinda like having a weakness to some bot types, makes it a bit more IRL. No point in making your bot invincible to all types, it's too tryhard for IRL.  It's why I haven't scrapped Raus after the Billet and Dominotrix fights.

I see no correlation here.
