Second robot, i dont like this.
« on: February 14, 2009, 08:59:07 PM »
Well this is my second robot based in the first, trying to make a stronger engine and more stable pieces so i wont like them like the others, but well i used to play like 2 min with my brother, fair dules and stuff, with this robot it doesnt take more than 15 seconds to destroy him (finally i kill him =D)... is this robot fair? =\, i dont like wining that fast also i wouldnt like to know this game is based in best hammer spinners because this is extremly strong omg, and im sure theres other ways to make this stronger like longer DSL bar or something...

It's okay, just means it resembles a previously-made bot.  It's pretty difficult to come up with an "original" bot lately - someone will always be saying, "That looks like [insert bot name here]" or something to that effect.  My very first tournament robot was unknowingly almost the exact same design as another robot found on the bot exchange - the only major difference was in the weapon system.

As they say, "Plagerism is the sincerest form of flattery."  Seearch the forums, find some bots that look interesting to you, and see if you can more-or-less duplicate them.  Study how they were made, and learn new techniques.  Practice often, and don't be afraid of trying something totally different - you may surprise yourself with what you can do.

Why do you have two showcases? Please keep all of your bots in just one.

Yes. Could an admin merge the two threads?

Long black batts are technically the worst batteries you can have in DSL 2.1.

Plus, to be really efficient you should use grippy wheels, they make your bot faster - grippy wheels are said so in their description. Good choice here would be the Hypnodisc ones- but it would be VERY fast for a vertical spinner.

Oh please just drop the NWB thing, guys.
NIcLOOX, you will learn a lot of usefull info by just lurking around the forums. Especially the robot showcase areas.
Naryar is right, some wheels just have more traction than others. Hypno wheels are some of the best in DSL, just try them on your bot, and your speed will increase dramatically.
Your bots are very good for a newcomer. It would be nice if you would just make a topic called "NIcLOOX's showcase" or the like & just posted all your bots there, instead of making a new topic each time you have a new bot. It keeps the forum cleaner.
