No WAY Click is 9th. 1st or 2nd.

I find it hard to believe that Nary considers me one of the top 10 DSL builders: most of my bots are generic :P

And yes JB is under-appreciated.

Well I'm back guys. Here is a new robot.

[ABOUT THIS ROBOT]
BladeHorror was built for charging into robots and inflicting lots of damage. It's 4 blade saws are powered by 2 Perm 80's. It's battery power is low, but it can damage robots that are unprotected easily. The Average Points earned for each charge against a enemy is between 1000 to 1250. It's side skirt panels protect the BladeHorror from side attacks from robots, Like the Big Metal Friend. It has weak materials to hold the whole body though.

[STATS]
Power - Low to Medium
Armor - Very Weak to Below Average
Weapon Choice - Strong to Strong, But easy to fall off.
Wheels And Grip - Average to A Little Over Average

TOTAL - A Little Below Average To A Little Over Average.

Please help me on this robot. I fear it has some problems in the design. But it works good enough for me.

Build to the weight limit and use NPC fasts. Saw blades aren't very good, try using a Mako 4 weapon system.

StoneHead · « **Reply #46 on:** November 03, 2009, 07:06:53 PM »

Mako 4? What is that? NPC Fasts? I already built to the weight limit. [As in, I don't know what to put!]

What is better than saw blades?

1. https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/images/6/66/Mako_4.jpg
2. You don't have to use all extender as multi extenders.
3. With remaining weight, you could put armor on the bottom

I am very new to designs. Mako 4 Looks Reaally complicated.

MAGS ARE SSSSSSLLLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW!

StoneHead · « **Reply #50 on:** November 03, 2009, 07:18:59 PM »

sorry! but i could only fit that.

That version is a decent improvement from your previous bot. You are learning the ropes... it takes time and patience.

Patience from you because everyone is going to slaughter you with advice and it will be a tad overwhelming.

Patience from everyone else because most of us take our skills for granted but we all started somewhere. (noob wars tourney examples anyone?)

Anyhow... when we say build to the weight limit we mean that you should aim to build stuff on your bot that maxes the weight limit. If you don't have any more room in your chassis for stuff... consider changing the armour type to something thicker to max out your weight. But the better thing to learn is to use components to protect your chassis so it is not hit in the first place.

You stepped up your game and made a much smaller chassis for this bot, you implemented a bunch of the advice to improve your building. Awesome. With time you will do well.

Any ideas for my next bot?

I might give you guys the bot. Just for you guys to edit.

*walks over to ounce* im going to hang out with this guy now :P

that last bot you posted Stonehead is a really good start at things, JD's advice ^^ is really good, his advice got me starting off building better robots

the next thing I suggest is try using some of the other extenders (aluminium and titanium are good ones) and try to compact everything so the extenders are less exposed as they are the weakest points in construction

another tip is the Half Sheet of titanium can actually be attached the base of your robot with one of the middle attachment points (there is 2)

I'm pretty sure saws are nice in DSL

StoneHead · « **Reply #56 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:10:18 PM »

I don't like it that you can't attach sheets or otherwise known as skirts on their base side. It sucks. Well anyways, I'm going to look at some designs and think about this Sheck Bot. [Sheck Bots are kind of like the Industrial Coal Miner Bot Right?]

JoeBlo · « **Reply #57 on:** November 03, 2009, 10:44:37 PM »

in the extra's click the ramplate preview and in the styles find the half sheet you can attach it to the base using one attachment points.

industrial coal miner is a Face Spinner (if im not mistaken) is you want Sheck Spinner robots look in Urjaks showcase as he is the local expert

I guess you are. :Confused:

I thought you could use stock stuff!?! Ex: I have seen razors on DSL bots

JoeBlo · « **Reply #59 on:** November 03, 2009, 11:20:18 PM »

some stock things like Irons, Maces, Razors, Sledge hammers, etc were rebalanced in DSL and can be used things like plastic extenders, supervolts, niffy, pink batts, are not allowed in DSL, easy enough If the component has the DSL style preview image it can be used if not then you cant
