Mad-man 3's DSL showcase
« on: September 25, 2010, 03:10:15 PM »
I'm not very good with DSL so bear with me.

Oh and armors Tita5

Looks pretty much okay. Few things here, though:

Long batts are FAIL. Almost always use ants. If you've got a Beta motor, you can afford to use the PCP565 something or other, the big battery in the same dropdown menu as the Longs.

Clamp down on empty space, I think, you've still got the wedge at the front. Also, DSL Bars and Small Wedge components make awesome wedges most of the time.

I can't see what the Bear Claw's doing, to be honest, I'd probably get rid of it and use something like a ramplate if it's just for keeping the bots there.

Also Mag Snappers aren't very good compared to the BSG's. Swap them around, you'll have an extra 10kg to play with.

Not bad in overall, but needs improvement. It probably would be better as a popup or a DSL HW Rampant Puppy Love ripoff.

-Mag Snappers are bad, use BSGs
-WP836Es are worse

Lol, I love the way that someone can come on the forum and built a better DSL bot than me straight away. :P

Anyway, follow everyone else's advice and welcome back! (I think? I remember reading an old showcase of yours when I was lurking)

Not too bad, but yes, follow their advice. 

It appears that you still have stock components in your game, which means you didn't install the DSL patch correctly.  Use the one in Sage's signature.

I think there's a better way to attach the plows, like using a single extender or 2 flipper segments.  I know it's a clamp, but I can't see from here how the weapon works; all I can tell from here is that the razors are attached to the Mags.

err, the bear claw is there to grapple a wedge. so the entire flipper thing is fore lifting up while the mags use the razors and breaks the wedge. And it works, surprisingly. I'll make the changes tomorrow. I'm sleepy.
And it is a Rampant puppy love rip off in a way. Only more razors of the burst motor.

If it's there purely to hold wedges in position, use either a ramplate or a 40cm Steel Sheet, and let the razors deal the damage.

Ram plates weigh too much and are too big to be sensible I would have thought.
Either way, here's the new version.


Its okay at best now. The wedges are worse if you ask me.

But here's my BW FBS!

12 hypno teeth, on a shell powered by a TMW3. Driven by copals.
Slow but now very stable thanks to the drum added at the front. Demolishes most BWs in NAR AI. Unless they're flippers :P.

Copals are comparatively fail, Astros are probably better, though I may be wrong here.

Use different weapons. If you look at the collision mesh for those teeth, they are tiny.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Copals are fail indeed, and Hypno tooth are statistically very good weapons.

How did you get the power pulse battery?

Because i seem to have forgot to remove it from one NAR AI version *goes to hide*

Lol, I noticed the Power Pulse batt in NAR AI 2.3 I think. Didn't bother using it though.

I was trying to do get a righter bar but it didn't connect. Which is annoying :laughing.
But I wanna ask two things.

HTF do you make MCB wedges (I know they suck but I think they're kinda cool)
What is the best wedge option? I mean I imagine at least 75 people have asked that and got no real answer but, hey, why not try?

MCB wedges - press F12, stick a skirt hinge at the front of your bot and angle the hinge so it points inwards, at roughly 20° of angle.
