you could try micro wheels they have the same texture as tazbot wheels but are smaller?

Just wondering, can you add polls to showcases?

Savage Winter is unrealistic, its bar passes through the weapon belt. Sorry.

No need to be sorry

it's not your fault I made a faulty design, it should be easy to redesign anyway so I'll do it when I can find time

I should probably mention this since otherwise you might think me ignorant and rude,

I do read all of your comments on my bots but its just that sometimes I can find it difficult to produce the changes that could make it better and other times its just that i want to get onto the next bot.

So I'm sorry if I have sounded ignorant and rude so soon I want to do an 'update sweep' on all my bots to make up for it

Please don't think like that it makes me feel disrespectful and bad

But I should cheer up because I've made a much better LW (which I'm about to send to Massimo)

It has a nasty saw blade powered by a piglet, I think the wedge is allowed, 4 ants, astroflights and I think thats it

Thoughts? I'll welcome any feedback

When have you ever seen a real bot that looks like that with a massive sheet sticking out of the front on a door hinge? :P

Erm... in my mind?

Lol, fixed it, I thought it was allowed, my bad

Forgot to mention, it srimechs using the disc, when ai'd, does it spin when it's upside down?

Other than that, any more thoughts? Please?

Thoughts?

Can easily change the paintjob
against the rules? It's a skirt hinge raised a notch
weird looking flipper- I actually like it, doesn't matter
exposed wheels- can't really do anything about that

any other thoughts?

Looks a little messy maybe, but I kinda like it. I reckon if the flipper didn't stick out quite so far from the chassis, and the wedges were removed, it would look better.
I like the colour scheme of the skin, it could probably look really nice if done in HD outside of RA2. I might even try that on one of my robots, thinking about it...
Also, what are the hex-plates attached to?
Has potential, keep up the building :)

The hex plates are for aesthetics, the flipper I will see what I can do about and thanks!

Any thoughts on Chew?

Lemonism · « **Reply #135 on:** May 15, 2014, 01:03:23 PM »

Again, I reckon removing the wedge (whilst making it not as good in combat) would make it look cooler.
Bringing the disk forward a little (if possible) and making it slightly wider may offset this by making it easier to attack stuff :P
Skin looks alright to me, but a weapon slot would make it look nicer, and it would obviously be better done in HD.

Hmmm... to be perfectly honest, I think it looks cooler with the wedge, so I'll keep this design and tommorow I'll make a Chew 2 with all these improvements and compare the two to see which is the better design, But I'll try and do a different skin with mspaint

and thanks for the advice!

And I made a different skin and renamed VU into...

RADIOACTION!!!

I think it looks better now, I need to find time to implement these changes

your bots are kinda messy, you need to learn how to simplify them.
