Redalert's rare DSL builds and WS

[Redalert]

Funny, how my DSL IRL bots are never destroyed... They either get immobilized or pitted! :)

Also I forgot to mention this but x storm got killed by wreaker which is basically carbide if it were woke

was it a close fight?

Basically it was tombstone vs beta, but beta died at the end and it's control board was smashed

I'll take that as a close one...

Still think I'm bad at IRL?!

Design wise, it's actually really nice. It still suffers from that issue that a lot of your IRL bots have though in that your panel work is just a bit messy. You're definitely on the right track, but try to reduce those ugly seams and overhangs between panels as much as possible

Those beams actually make it really tough, they're all steel.

I guess it still looks messy, as you said. I'll change that.

same thoughts as robo.
really cool design but messy once again although thats pretty much all your bots.

It's because I'm so devoted to performance over looks, as in Unrealistic.
Here's mALICE...
 

That plate on the top guards the most vulnerable spot in the design.

Use a flatmotor for the weapon motor

[Redalert]

A perm?

I don think thats really the best way to go for the IRL meta. At least in my eyes I think DSL IRL is more about making your bots look good. Stock and DSL-S is a better place to go for being competitive since thats what the meta is about but I dunno Im not saying people shouldn't try make strong machines but looks should be first priority and messy bots always look bad in IRL tournaments. I wouldn't call that bot unrealistic since it has characteristics more in line with IRL but still that bot having messy extender work is the only thing keeping me from really liking it.

The green vert is ok. It looks like its very underwhelming really since its a very basic shape with a pretty weak little weapon. If the bot had some extenders or stuff to add stuff to the bots chassis it could look a bit better.

[Redalert]

Thanks. That helps. I'll look into less of the "funky extender work" style, and try just using panels.

This bot's really dull on the inside, but the paintjob looks cool!
3 mm. titanium.

You already showed off this bot

Sorry for spamming it, then...
IRL MW HS. Sledgehammers don't touch the wheels.
 

 

1 mm. Steel actually isn't too bad, it's slightly stronger than 3 mm. Plastic...
395 kg.

You'll need cross-supports between the bars of the tribar like Son of Whyachi has for that to be IRL legal. That tribar is way too spindly to hold those massive hammers on its own

I'll look into that...
I fail to see what's so bad about the tribar I have... I built one out of legos like that, and it was surprisingly nimble...

It is thin and it has no side supports

[Redalert]

How about this- I'll design one out of 3d, or out of something else, like legos, and add weapons to it. I'll attach it to a robot, spin it up real fast, and have it strike an object repeatedly. If it breaks, I'll replace it. But if it stays together, then that tribar is staying put.

Here's an antweight. This tribar looks good on an AW.
 

1 mm. Titanium. Exactly 125.0 kg.

[Redalert]

New bot. 5 mm. Steel, 800.0 KG.
 

 

I like how clear the paintjob is!
