I might be wrong, but I believe you might lose wedginess once the bursts are fired. If you don't have one wedge that remains stationary, you will likely no longer be getting under anything. The bursted wedges don't return exactly to their start point due to the weight of your bot, and thus become less effective.

I see what you mean, but I haven't encountered this problem in test battles, I'll have a look at it though.

Any other thoughts? Anyone?

Very messy, skin sucks, and those wedges look ugly.

[Natster-104]

Very messy

What's messy?

skin sucks

It's easily changeable

those wedges look ugly.

Really? I rather like them

[helloface]

Very messy

What's messy? The extenders

skin sucks

It's easily changeable Please do

those wedges look ugly.

Really? I rather like them They're more for standard/realistic type robots, not IRL. If you're doing to use ghey wedges make sure they aren't that noticeable or that they fit in.

How is it not? He asked for feedback, and I gave him some. How else would he improve if I didn't point out the flaws?

[Natster-104]

Yeah, I'm going to implement the changes, it was helpful

I kinda like it. Different wheels could help, I also don't know how you flip the plow, steel panels without passing through the spinning bar

[El Chickenado]

i kinda hate it ,different wheels could help, but it doesnt look like it could be built irl at all
take the wedges off and dont make the plow flip up
it might be tactical but it breaks the reality of it
it probably does great in battle
which is important
but its not realistic
it looks cool but that makes it an artbot
it doesnt look realistic
and if the plow would have to pass through the bar its not even dsl-s

[Natster-104]

What are you on about?


Go to 1:55
Now for the other advice
I'm going to make the skirts shorter
Change the skin
See if I could add different wheels
And other stuff that's been mentioned

The weapon support is badly done, multiextenders also look very out of place and waste weight, you need some sort of a triangle support for it to look realistic. Ontop of that, It looks a bit silly to see the perm outside the chassis.

I suck at supports

1. It's impossible for me to get a support like that done
2. Which multiextenders?

Ontop of that, It looks a bit silly to see the perm outside the chassis.

I've seen loads of other people do it, it's to save weight

And I can safely say I suck at building VS's, their hard to make and from me, they suck. I definately prefer axes

[Natster-104]

Made a new entry



Crankshaft, plastic 5, low ground clearance+dual perm for whacking ability

Thoughts?

[El Chickenado]

this one is way more realistic
i like it
but up the armor to the best armor you can have
with plastic 5 in the heavyweight division you will be torn apart

[Natster-104]

with plastic 5 in the heavyweight division you will be torn apart

Hmm, guess I could actually, but honestly plastic 5 is a very good and strong armour for IRL building

i get at least aluminum 5 on my heavy weights
my bot in the hf tournament has titanium 5

Still, it's a very good all rounder and probably the best strength weight wise

yeah but it will get torn apart by any wedged damage doing bot that can get below it
if you dont want to you dont have to but youll get torn apart
