Um...
Well...
Here it is! My non-awaited showcase
[smg id=74]
WHOOP WHOOP A SHELL SPINNER.
Plastic 10
Slimbody Drive
Etek Weapon
My first DSL robot.
More to come...
-
We have a picture uploader, please use that.
Can we see the insides?
What armour does it use? I think it's Aluminium 5. Ill check later, I'm not on a computer with ra2 now. - playzooki
Etc.

The UI is messed up......

Did you install DSL over stock? YesAlso, pointy tips are rarely used. Try using razors tips instead. Those vlad spikes don't seem to be doing much For if I get flipped, so I guess they can go. What drive/weapon motors does it use?Slimbody Drive, Etek Weapon.

The reason you should do this is because pointy tips only to damage on the point, and razors do damage anywhere.

Dude, just use the GTM image uploader instead of mediafire:

I personally use tinypic. You don't need to make an account, that's the big thing.
-
Postimage.org
No account needed (though having one is always handy), super simple and very reliable.
-
Look, Im going to use the GTM uploader.
Please stop the offtopicness
-
Look, we're just suggesting some good image hosting sites in case you somehow have trouble with the GTM image host, or want something where to can also look back for earlier uploaded images.
Also, on topic, how about a new bot?
-
Look, Im going to use the GTM uploader.

as Powerave said, this is hardly off-topic.
We're just giving you advice on how to run this showcase.

A REALLY FAST SMITER.
Awaiting Info (lack of time)
inb4 potential flame war.
-
Working version of the image:
(http://i.imgur.com/7U5jNrW.jpg)
-
you can easily power this from 2 ant batteries alone. techno destruco wheels would also make this go faster
-
I can't see both images.
There will be NO flame war on there either.
-
Alright, alright, alright, use 2 ant batterys, make your chassis fit your components. Use Techno Destructo wheels, too.
-
A lot of empty space. :/ Should try and structure your robot's body around what you plan to do with it. Aswell as the other advice posted, it's well worth putting the razors on pistons and if that is Steel 10mm like I think it is, you don't need that tough of an armor unless you're building an SHW or are using a small chassis.
-
Use 3 or 4 ant batteries, not 2 only.
-
I told you it was n00by.
Thanks for the advice!
Im on my phone now but ill make a better version later

Middleweight Time!

We can barely see anything. Take a better picture of it.

Im not sure if i have the original as i am on my phone and i had to make changes for ARC

New middleweight:

That thing won't be able to turn very well so flip the motors around. And get rid of the extener on the disc and rampltes.
-
Is that meant to be IRL? If not remove the ramplate, swap the motors for npc's and remove the extender on top of the disc. Having wheels like that will also make it's turning circle terrible.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19522meh.png)

Ramplates have terrible HP, it's very under weaponed for a MW, use multiexteders instead of baseplate anchors, get ride of the DSL bars, shrink the chassis, use NPCS or if you don't have the weight use the S shaped mags as they have a lot more HP than the ones you are currently using.
-
so messy

The robot x casters
they burrrrrrrrrrrn
In all seriousness though you obviously didn't look at Craaig's showcase long. Lurk through most of the showcase. You'll see why we call him the VS master.
If it'll help though it's definitely better than the "robot" you entered in BoF3 :P

This is proof im permanently tired :dumb)
Will do.

what massimo cant accept
-
and I sure do understand why he doesn't
no srsly it has no weapons at all, is exposed, probably too fast as well
-
dear god what even is that
-
its large?
i would expect nothing less than NPC fasts on that from you. its probably a jokebot, but considering the builder... you really need to clean that up if you intend on entering it in anything.
make it looks better since the LW section is IRL, and its almost impossible to make it look attractive with those wheels on a LW of all things, unless youre SKBT or mike of course. youre gonna have to downgrade the wheels regardless of novelty.
no srsly it has no weapons at all, is exposed, probably too fast as well
it has a *GRAND TOTAL* of 20kg weapon weight!
-
That bot makes me look like VB.
Make it go away, it's hurting my eyes.
-
Joke reskin of IHBEY, lol. With new weapons.
Ill change it.
And Helloface, you liked the original xD

Better, still messy. Go read tutorials to learn how to build properly.
Or you can ask me for advice when you build a bot.

Okay, now it's an ugly brick with some sort of self defense.

Wheel guards might look cool... other than that I have no idea how to "improve" on that.

It was laughably bad XD

Its my only robot to win a match... But yeah.
And yes, Nary, i would like advice.

-
i have no idea what you're trying to do, but it's terrible. i can only guess that it's meant to be irl, in which case you really need to stop going over the top with the motors. the bot looks horrible and the weapon is kinda abusing ra2 physics. lower the drive and make it look better.
if it's standard, shrink the chassis and add more weapons
-
You're overthinking it, man.
First of all, get rid of that god awful skin. ty4er can make a better looking skin than that...
Second of all, check my showcase in a little while to get an idea of what you could do.

Use an ME instead of a baseplate anchor. Build to the weigh limit.

does it matter that much in irl? if it does, ill add weight.
-
Yes, it saves you weight that you can use on other componets. It is also smaller, which is good for a tighter chassis. Just cause you build IRL doesn't mean you should use crap components.

Good, but it needs a better skin, use MEs instead of baseplates, and build to the weight limit.

i meant the weight limit. i cba to take a screenie but i upgraded to 2 titanium and 1 steel skirt.
-
I would widen the chassis so it's the same width as the skirts.
I also feel that a smaller disc and angled skirts at the sides would look better.
-

PROTIP: if you want him to get any better, just saying "oh yeah that sucks" isn't going to help at all. massimov's second peice of advice and 090901's post are true though.
the axle support is slightly off-center from the actual center of the disc, and a few angled flippermakers as motor protection would look cool.

idk what you think i said but by saying it's underweight and saying the weapon isn't good (bad wording, meant substantial) enough, i'm sure someone with some sense would think 'i can add more weapons'.
anyway the new bot is way too small. make it bigger, give it a better wedge and lower the disk so the axle support lines up. and use a multi extender instead of an anchor
-
Advice and criticism are needed in equal parts. I see both here, what's the problem ?

In the end though, I don't know how to make it better. I guess, lurk in other showcases. But I try not building things like that cause there are already so many, bricks with a drum on front. You can add spikes and armor to style it but come on, really? I don't want to say, "Just don't build bots like that," cause you know, I want him to build and showcase.

I want him to build and showcase.
Ok then:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25753smash it.png)
Nar AI 3, Alu 3, 2 blacks, 2 hypnos on slimbodys, Perm 80 weapon. Rest you can see
-
more drive, heavier weapon motor as well
-
Weak ass weapon motor, fail drive, no popup protection, need i say more ?
-
The shell looks quite big as well.
-
In addition to the previous advice, who uses a hollow disc on the top? You either use armored or solid discs.

This is pretty much backed up by the fact that the majority, if not all, of the most built bot types in standard DSL don't really have a way of hitting the top.
-
more drive, heavier weapon motor as well
Ill see if i can fit a better weapon motor, but the drive seems fine to me. Ill upload a vid later.

no the drive is not fine, you need npc/npc fasts atleast. see if you can get either a dual perm or a 6mag for the weapon motor (maybe outside of the chassis)

then get a twm2 or npc for the drive, slimbodies are nowhere near enough
-
although i can see your effort in trying to become a good dsl builder flail shell spinners have been done to death and there's pretty much nothing interesting or new that can be added to the design so i dont know what youre trying to prove
-
why are you building an fss in DSL 3 where razors have normals

And the only one that hosts tournaments using NAR AI is Naryar. The point is moot.

made a new bot for powers of three, m was a space filler

5 ants
perm 80
npc normal
alu 3
4 large beater
judge burst srimech
not bad in battle

pretty tall chassis for the stuff you've put in

would have made it smaller if it wasnt for that,

make a cutout at the back of the chassis and atrach the perm to a multiextender.

4 large beaters
npc normals
can self right, needs to be ai'd as invertible
performs well
-
still looks quite tall. also use the other ap on the beater if possible for longer reach
-
Looks better to me, maybe you could try adding some larger/extra drum axle supports just to give it a little more substance if you know what I mean? Like getting a diagonal one going down behind the one you currently have would look pretty good. You'd easily have the weight if you changed armour and, if you need to, take an ant out (and as per usual advice use the blue control board :D).
-
Looks very good, only major concern for me is if that drum will actually reach :/

the chassis wedge is good for a chassis wedge, the drum then hits the other robot once i am underneath.

But no seriously, the fact that the chassis is that big makes it look bulky and dumb.
-
Still unnecessarily tall. Look at ty's Industry, thats how you do an external perm.

-
If you're gonna go perm on a BW I'd say you'd want a weapon with enough length to knock things around, rather than poke razors at them.
Also, you're using 17kg on just ME's and that poly extender alone. Try optimising your extender work a little, and also shrinking that chassis way down for the extra few .kgs, then all that extra weight you can use on a more substantial weapon.
-
that chassis is huge

that chassis is huge
Lolz
IMO It looks like tough as nails with an exposed spinner
-
perms have terrible hp, the copals can easily be put in the chassis, and the chassis is too big.

it's... not TOO bad, honestly

do i go 2 razors or 3 lds teeth
-
Well, the aluminum skirts are pretty exposed with those flippermakers and the weapon motor doesn't have strong enough weapons with that exposed motor. Maybe you could try cloning something like this to improve it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83319Wheels%20Are%20Tasty%203.png)
If you lighter wheels along with the angled skirts in this formation, you might be able to get more weapons.
-
Just attach the skirts directly to the MEs, and I would personally just use a piglet and get a more weapons and your motor wouldn't fall off after getting hit twice. You can also probably shrink the chassis still a bit.

Anything like that with a perm 80 would pretty much sux, since lol no hp

pla3 armour, 4 teeth, 3 ants, 1me

Ok yeah you def need more weapons.
The chassis looks a lot bigger than it needs to be.
You can probably just directly attach a 40cm alum skirt to the poly extender for more weapons too.
