I seem to have a hard time finding out how to do this

look at other people's showcases, you'll get some ideas you can use for your own bots

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #43 on:** October 23, 2016, 08:20:42 PM »

Would this fix it? Or would it be even less IRL?

It's still not touching the axle, and even if it was, it'd be horrifically weak. Not IRL in any situation.

Ahhhh.
Ok. However, the game is being picky about placement.
I'll be making edits tommorow.

Welp, I have made my first Swiss Army Bot. It is called Bacon Master.

Here is the flipper. It is good against everything without a wedge. And reasonable against the ones with wedges.

Horizontal Spinner. More around a catch and destroy though.

This is not all that IRL, the axle is close to just hanging there, and the motor is outside the bot (Yes thats a Mechavore Disc).

The flipper: The skirt hinges on the BSG's ram right through the NPC motors. Completely unrealistic. Also, you should use skirt hinges instead of extender anchors and angled extenders to hold your skirts, as that will give you a better wedge.

The HS: Too little weaponry on the sides of the disk, and Jugglers are more DSL-S, not IRL. I'd say remove the shell panels, and get some heavier, more powerful weaponry on there. TBH, a HS is not advisable with only a TWMR2, so get a lighter weapon system than the disc and stick a DSL bar and 2 hammers/axes on it to see if you can make it more powerful. (Don't take that as absolute fact though, still not sure on the meta other than mechavore disc = OP)

The VS: Your axle support looks way too easy to snap. Use a couple of extenders and some angled 45 degree extenders to make a bar between the base of the tit extender, and theend of the long alu extender. This should make the set up more believable. Also, use some flippermakers to make a sort of cage/protective ring around the perm, as it looks very unsupported. Also, the mechavore disc is way too big and looks kinda ugly. It also is undoubtably OP, so your use of it is not really in the spirit of IRL. Try to use a different disc.

So we have an unrealistic flipper, a DSL-standard Juggler and an IRL VS. Interesting interchangeable options :L

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #51 on:** October 28, 2016, 04:08:20 PM »

I made some edits to the Flipper and the VS.

(Looking at it more, it still might be unrealistic

)

Avalanche · « **Reply #52 on:** October 28, 2016, 05:55:59 PM »

Th flipper isn't still unrealistic. You are not allowed to have intersecting parts on your bot for any reason unless you could feasibly work around it by cutting slots in parts, but this is not possible with motors or batteries. Use some flipper segments to build a flipper arm that goes over the wep motor.
The VS looks odd. Try and just ram the extender through that skirt wedge and into the chassis (but not into any motors

) at a 45 degree angle, that should make it look realistic enough.

Welp, This happened. I had Free components before, but I removed it, so it is not the cause of this:

I have no idea....

congratulations, you learned that components can be attached to mad's smart zones

No.

Well, if you enter that juggler you call a horizontal spinner into anything IRL, that is you entering a juggler. Jugglers don't work in real life, so don't try to send one in please.

I did make some edits, but they have not been shown yet.

Ok, Some edits to the Bacon Master Swiss Army Bot.

No longer goes through motor

No longer a juggler

More Supports. Not sure if enough XD
