Subaru? Engineering?
I think we'll get along just fine.

My man! Good to see some new faces. This place looks to be buzzing with activity, lots of new people!

good to see you man

This. It's been too long. :)

<3

Also cool to see you guys got the veteran's names. I still remember when you were all newbies. It's been too long.

COTT 2? :3

;)

It's in the plans, and I've got a computer that could handle it. Time is just a big question. Three weeks until the end of the semester, then a month, and then I'm off to summer camp to work for 3 months. So no computers. We'll see, but keep building them UHWs. They're cool as hell.

I remember you scaring me when you wanted me to send over aggrocat or something of my first showcased bots. I was told that you don't use custom components in the dsl section but my bot did use some so i didn't send anything  :gawe:

you schould defnetly become a vet too. also ribbs and some other people that where around long before I joined about 5 or actually 6 years ago.

also build something in dsl-s ;) this IRL thing has gotten quite big.

Wooorking on it man. I have some money saved up now, making about $3K over the summer so I should have some funds to sit on and see what to do with. Filling my time with plenty of car stuff though. Just joined SAE Baja at the school which should be a good timesuck, and I've been messing around with the LeMons car for a while. Plus sleeping, gotta get that sleeping in.

Also, there's a machine shop class at some point, so I'll get that all set up. We also just got 2 Makerbots that I haven't tried out yet either.  :bigsmile:

You in school anywhere?

I still have that somewhere. It's a fun as hell bot to play with. And I'll get to it, it's 3 AM here and I just threw together a quick flipper idea. Needs some revising but I just went to the bathroom and suddenly all these ideas start flooding into my head. So yeah, I'm back into it  :mrgreen:

Also, what is dsl-s? Is that the new name for the IRL style bots?

Edit: Looks like DSL-S is short for the old-style DSL bots that were "realistic" in the loosest sense of the term. AKA my bread and butter  :dance:

I edited right when you posted haha. I was always crap at IRL anyways, so I'll give the DSL-S a shot first. I always liked it better.

Also, what happened to Team 9? All his posts say "Guest". He finally get his keister banned?

From what I recall, GTM found some old post of his on another forum. I believe the topic was about bad forums you've been a part of. Some GTM users bumped it and got the topic locked. Team 9 showed up later and asked to have his account locked.

Actually, he requested to have his account deleted and I didn't see any reason not to grant his request. I'm usually very hesitant about doing something like this but he wasn't leaving on bad terms as far as I could tell and he didn't leave much of an impression on GTM.

Finally built something. A flipper with an added twist. A problem with a lot of the flippers with the Beta motors is that they'll end up throwing the robot straight upwards, and from the middle of an arena, the opponent won't fly out of the arena, putting you in danger because you have to flip the opponents multiple times. This robot is my attempt at fixing that. I have a BSG set up to throw forwards in between the two large flippers. By launching them at the same time, the BSG gives the opponent forward momentum, while the Betas still throw it a mile and a half in the air. This makes the robot much more likely to fly out of the arena, or land on some sort of hazard. This also keeps the opponent in front of my robot, so it'll have less of an opportunity to get around the back and tear away at the tender innards of my robot




Titanium 1, 795.3, NPC Fasts+Technos, a whole buttload of ant batteries, door hinge wedges. I think it came out alright, the first version was undervolted and helpless so this is a definite improvement.

Oh wow! You're back! I didn't realise :D
I've forgotten most of what I know about DSL, but that looks like a great concept. Might dabble in DSL again soon. Just a thought, but would weapons be useful on the bsg arm for a bit of damage?
:D
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

Oh cool that's a neat flipper concept. Might end up cloning it.

hmm... Lacks power.  I recommend adding some Ant Batteries. There's barely enough :mrgreen:
