Thirdly: If you were going IRL with the first bot, you will have to remove the skirts
Well, my first bots looked like that soo...
you dont have to put a spoiler for your pictures
Quote from: TGM on March 31, 2018, 06:28:46 AMWell, my first bots looked like that soo...They must have done better than mine. XDAlso, I experimented a bit and I made a better Monsoon. Behold, my masterpiece, Monsoon 2! It's a VS that's now not a semi Mako clone.16 Large Beater Bars on 4 DSL Disks, powered by 2 Perm 132s. The armor is now 3mm Aluminum, and clearly, Pussycat wheels. It still uses NPC-T64 Fast motors for the drive. The srimech is powered by a fast Whyachi Burst motor. It used to have cutting teeth, but they always broke and I would get destroyed by my next tournament opponent. The armor plate on the back is made out of 40x120 cm Titanium and it's wedge counterpart. The wedge is made out of steel skirts. It's not the greatest wedge, but it's decent. I still need to learn how to make good wedges. Aside from burst wedges.
Hello, seeing new people build is always nice. I can tell a lot of time went in to crafting the intricate shape of Monsoon 2, but if your goal is to make an even more competitive DSL-S robot then I'll share some knowledge with you: [ok I deleted a paragraph here - I read "not a mako clone" as "mako clone" but whatever]Secondly, there are a lot of areas where your Monsoon can be improved. Srimechs are pretty cool, but most VS have a weapon that is strong enough to flip the robot over when upside down, and simply going off of that is great for competitive VSes because then they don't have to spend weight on the srimech. From what I can see, the wedge is made from an extended skirt hinge, but your robot will be wedgier if you use multiple single ones (having the wedges connected into one big wedge is worse). Also, the wedge and probably the front end of the robot should be wider. This allows for wider wedges and more area for an opposing robot to sit on. Lastly, having stray iron spikes isn't the most efficient use of weight. I know I'm killing the aesthetic look of your robot with those last two pieces of advice, but they would help with maximizing the effectiveness of the robot in combat, if that's what you care about (and generally is what the DSL-S building style focuses on).
Monsoon looks improved, but it has no protection other than a back armor plate, that should be moved to the front. What's with the back weapon on Everything At Once? For now, it looks like a weight waster.
ALERT- Another WS coming up...
I'm fine with hugging reier
Both could look better. Cloudburst especially isn't a looker. Either way, their internals are pretty neat and organized, so not bad at all.
it would be really nice if you would stop putting your images in spoilers, it makes it really hard to find specific bots
