Memoirs of the IRL(?) Builder; Paranoia's Showcase

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I reckon we're getting close to a Final Z clone if we keep refining it like this.

[Pwnator]

Dude's just a beginner. Cloning's fine. :P

I Didn't even know about Final Z until Squirrel happened to point it out, :P

[MassimoV]

Great start. Try shrinknig the chassis though.

Playing around with Typhoon a little too much,

Not bad. Typically the reps aren't that great in DSL, though.

Normally it's best to use Multi Extenders instead of Baseplate Anchors, as they do the same job for 1kg less. The only real exception is if you want one pointing straight down to put a DSL Disc on it or something, and the rule of 7 won't allow a Multi Extender + Poly Extender to work.

You only need a 3x2 chassis, with the height as low as it can go. (click the bottom of the height ruler, don't slide it down.)

I'm not too much of somebody who builds outside of the chassis. Really, I'm going to keep this design and experiment with it. To see which design works best.

Take a look at this. It's my 12lb bots chassis. Take a look at how much empty or wasted space there is in it  Why I'm showing you this you might ask? It's to show you that even in real life combat robotics we don't like empty or wasted space or the same reason we don't like it in RA2. Empty space = wasted weight that could be used elsewhere to make the robot better.

I actually used most the ground space of my 'bot thanks to joints, I Added a Battery to make the weight and give it more power, since it runs out of it fast. And I don't think there is any more space left to use for weapons.

SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE

[Paranoia]

SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE

You mean in the final version? I Don't thing there is anything nessicary for this bot really... I Updated it's batteries since the last one. Now has 4 ants, Since it runs out of power quite quickly,

But you have any propositions?

You could make the chassis a small rectangle and use a ME and put the weapon+weapon motor outside the chassis

I Did that on a seperate version (Version one) and came out with this:

Smaller, Faster, but it deals less damage even with more razors. I Tried beating typhoon faster with this version, But it was seconds off my record with V2. Anyway, Is it ok?

UNREALISTIC


Looks good, though. I'll leave the criticism to the others.

For tournaments only allowing realism, 2.0 is the one I'm using, otherwise,
3.0 is the version I'm going to use.

All DSL tournaments have the realistic rule, I'm afraid.

I have seen some exceptions, Which I saw in the signups section.
