Don't mix stock and DSL.
What's the weight and armor?

ashman12 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 01, 2011, 09:55:35 AM »

There's also custom in there.

Anyone else notice the anti-ballasts from Clickbeetles component pack?

Hey, you stole my avatar! jk. Anyways take a look at some otherpeoples showcases for ideas.

Few pointers here. First of all, mixing Stock and DSL is frowned upon, as is using cheatbot2 (Judge Burst can be justified in IRL building), and custom component, excluding Smartzones (Needed for most AI .py files to work). Try to see what you can build sticking to the standard DSL components first. =)

i tried to revise the design
the reason i mixed everything was because me and my cousin are seeing who can build the best middleweight bot and we are allowed to use any mix of components

There ya go

Get rid of the storm burst that is facing up. It is not needed as your bot can run upside-down.

The general rule is one ant battery per spin motor. Get rid of all those black batteries.

Use one burst piston and use extenders to put more weapons on it, like razor tips or small DS teeth.

I think you're using too much Co2, use 1 or 2 tanks. (not much knowledge with pokers)

Shrink the chassis to fit the components.

The drive motors are OK, but change the wheels to something grippier like Techno Destructo wheels.

You can get the chassis a lower height by clicking at the very bottom of the slider, rather than just moving it down.

I revised the design even more using you guys' advice
i tested it and its pretty fast and does a good ammount of damage

NFX · « **Reply #14 on:** August 01, 2011, 03:13:49 PM »

Next step sould be to shrink the chassis around the components. And angle connectors aren't useful for what you're doing, you need Poly Extenders, or aluminium is they keep getting broken.

Another thing you'd want to do is use the IMG tags. It makes it a lot easier and cleaner to read through your showcase.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2011, 03:17:29 PM »

Not bot-related, but use [img] tags. The button is to the left of the hyperlink button.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2011, 10:27:34 PM »

Nice to see someone taking advice for a change.

Tweedy · « **Reply #17 on:** August 03, 2011, 10:18:59 AM »

just a video of spike 2 with the changes you guys suggested

That Robot is a Spy! · « **Reply #18 on:** August 03, 2011, 11:24:27 AM »

Needs more weaponry.

Just post a picture of your updated bot. Some of us, including me, don't necessarily want to bother to download a video when a picture would be just as informative and use less server space. A video in this case is more hassle for you and everyone, and less practical.

Also videos of bots in action don't show insides. Most of them anyway.
