Martymidgets DSL Showcase

I want the chassis to slope the other way now but I can't be bothered to rebuild it...

[Probably Rob]

You also need to put a support on the disc. Other than that, I like the successor!

[Naryar]

Looks quite a bit scarier in the fist pic, I must say..

maybe it's the light/dark effects.

[martymidget]

20kg to do stuff with. Halp.

[Naryar]

sh** wedges man

[martymidget]

sh** wedges man

But they look good, who cares if they're bad at what they do for IRL. :P

Then enjoy losing badly.

These are stabilizers, not wedges.

[Pwnator]

How about Taz wedges?

[Merrick]

Looks badass, no suggestions for the extra 20kg though, sadly.

New Stormageddon(?) could probably do with a better skin than plain aluminium, surely?

Up the chassis armor?  Unless you feeling swapping those dreadful weapons with something else.

You're right, he should swap them for something even WORSE so it is MORE irl.

2 Ripping Teeth with a smaller disc, obvious choice is obvious.

Dude, you obviously don't get it, do you.

All real bots nowadays use 2 or less teeth.  Because

1.  You need the maximum gap you can get between the teeth to ensure a good impact.
2.  additional weapons won't do you any good since getting a teeth rip off a spinner usually means half the disc is being tore off with it.

So instead the focus become making sure those 2 teeth are sturdy.  Some bots go as far as having just 1, but 2 is the norm atm.

Although, for weapon choice I say a mechavore disc.  Ripping teeth doesn't look good on small disc unless you also put a large one outside to cover the gaps.

Put them together and...

[MassimoV]

The thing looks really good.

[martymidget]

Was going to be in craig's tourney, but I wasn't happy with it for some reason. :/

[dragonsteincole]

It looks cool, given what we can do in DSL with the components we're given.

On a side note, it's nice to see Pwnator making helpful suggestions, even if the style is not his thing. Whereas Naryar is being himself and 123 seems to switch back and forth between tolerating IRL and being condescending about it and the people who build in this style.

Naryar is doing the 123 thing too it seems

[123savethewhales]

I have no problem with people building good looking punching bags.  I can talk about aesthetics all day for things not going outside the botlab.

It's when you take them into a tournament that becomes a problem.  You either deliberately send in a loser, or you send something that function well in both RA2 and real physics, but piss everyone off because you didn't dump 200kg into decals and proxy extenders.

Besides, Mechavore disc matches the color better anyway in this case.
