A Z-Tek? That is a Stock component, and Stock components aren't usually allowed in DSL building. Also, there are far better drive motors than Z-Teks, such as NPC-T64s. It has good component armor, and I like how you built to the weight limit, but I wonder what the chassis armor is. Also, the wedge could be improved. Only use one skirt in the middle, and make it Titanium; for whatever reason, skirt wedges are far superior when there is only one skirt on the middle hinge.

Always post pictures of the bot's insides, as that gives us information on the bot. We can use this information to help you improve the bot. You aren't bad for a newbie, and I really like the skin this bot has.

The reason I didn't use an NPC is that it sticks out the wheels and if it had a slow turning circle, a saw could easily come along and chop them off
And armor I think is either steel 3 or 5, will sort out the wedge

And thanks for the advice

Z-Tek's aren't legal components in ANY version of DSL (for tournament building), you must've used cheatbot2 or messed up your copy of DSL to even get them.
You could probably keep the wheels inside by using right/left NPCs (eg an arrangement like this.)

I just undid the hidden in the textfile, thanks for telling me about NPCs,Could somebody quickly tell me what cheatbot2 is (once answered, end discussion)

cephalopod · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2014, 05:55:02 PM »

'Hidden' components are shown in game by naming your robot 'cheatbot2'. That's it. They're illegal in nearly all building, unless a specific tournament rule allows some specific ones - The Judge Burst is often allowed in IRL tournaments to make Flippers competitive. But yeah, as the classic rule states, don't mix Stock and DSL ;p

Are you mixing DSL 2 and DSL 3 with those front wedges?

Davidyamy · « **Reply #10 on:** March 10, 2014, 09:47:18 PM »

You must be proud with every creation, this is not obvious

Natster-104 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:02:06 AM »

Most of them, this threads only lasted a day

cephalopod · « **Reply #14 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:42:10 AM »

Firstly you probably clicked 'modify' on my post rather than 'quote'. Secondly, try not to triple post in the space of 20 minutes... all that could've been in 1 post if you just modified your own post :P
Editing is king :3

Natster-104 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2014, 11:08:19 AM »

Yeah it is and you're right, need to look carefully at I'm clicking XD

ANYWAY back to the showcase and......

Ta daa!!!

Sorted out what you guys wanted, any more thoughts?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 11, 2014, 02:52:17 PM »

You still have the DSL2 front skirt on there. Replace it with a legal component.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:00:50 PM »

Do you mean the skirt hinge?

Cause all the skirts are standard to DSL3

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:04:21 PM »

No, the steel skirt. IIRC it isn't a DSL 3 part. I could be wrong here though, I don't play much DSL 3.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:08:18 PM »

Well if you're right, I never knew, all that I know is you get Dsl3, go to extenders and polycarbonate, aluminium, titanium (which the skirt is) and steel skirts will be there
