I am inspired by that ram plate/forklift setup. Amazing.

The circle looks nice.

i'm not convinced by that HW hammer, it looks messy and needs to be more compact

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #1366 on:** October 24, 2014, 10:16:52 AM »

Nary has a point of some sort. Personally, I like it.

Boring skins ahoy!

Reckoning, MW flipper.

Stingray, MW hammer.

The Iron Pilgrim, MW VS.

Iron Pilgrim is a bit messy.

Reckoning really need something else than flippermakers...

Couple more middleweights, with recycled ideas.

Love the first one, you did a really good job on the skin especially.
Don't like the second one as much, but it's still good. I do like how nice and even all the forks are, but I personally would have had them closer to the chassis.

I actually think the exact opposite. I think the first one is too thin, and I dislike it when IRL bots use a baseplate texture for the top/sides of their bot, as Kari's done with the first one.

The second one, on the other hand, has a really good, vintage-pusher-type vibe to it. Looks like the sorta bot I'd see floating around Battlebots 2.0, especially with the thick T-Minus wheels on it.

What?

Dunno how well these two will do in Fifteen To One. Maybe they'll get to Round Two if they're lucky.

I like the second one.

As long as they look better than the usual sub-standard IRL entries seen recently, I'll be happy.

The second one kinda reminds me of Death By Monkeys.

Pointless post ahoy, but don't expect any more updates to this thread.

I'm retiring from building and showcasing. (inb4 Badnik/AS/09 posts that nobody cares)

No motivation or ideas or time to do it anymore.

Peace out.

Really? Surely there is another reason for this, doesnt seem like you

Natster-104 · « **Reply #1378 on:** November 29, 2014, 10:52:58 AM »

Yeah, your a very gud builder, what's with the change in attitude towards building all of a sudden?

Not really. I've grown bored of RA2, other hobbies have my interest, and real life has got it's claws in me.
