Really messy and underweight.

Well theres no point calling it medusa, based on this:

You're doing it wrong... i mean ROUND EXTENDERS as wedges ? Do you actually want people to get under your bot ?

Why is This getting no replies? Have I done anything wrong? Or has someone been deleting posts from my showcase again?

Bubbleman · « **Reply #414 on:** August 09, 2014, 03:30:35 AM »

Usually, when a bot gets no replies, its because either no-one can really find anything interesting to say about it or no-one sees a way it could improve.

Both look okay, what's the flipper segments on bull for though? I think sheets or a shell segment would be better used there.

Ah okay, a while ago someone was deleting posts from my showcase and I wondered if it was happening again

Its a flipper, but I will get right on it :)

Anyway, I updated Ascension 2:

Insides:

And you maybe thinking: Woah chop down on the batteries there, too many. Well, the reason it's like that is that at the moment the flipper is very weak and acts like a low-pressure flipper, and then if the bot runs out of battery power later on in the battle, it won't be able to self-right. It has Tite 3 and I couldn't sort out the NPC problem as you can see in the inside shot.

Thoughts?

Naryar · « **Reply #416 on:** August 09, 2014, 04:45:58 AM »

i think this usage of double NPC fasts is bull because it's the exact same component, just with different attachment points, and yet people are using it to build easily.

:DDD

@Naryar: yes but that's a mistake that can be corrected for next time, bearing in mind I'm terrible at DSL-S, lighten up a bit, it's not like I'm going to win or anything

Badnik96 · « **Reply #419 on:** August 09, 2014, 07:04:10 AM »

Looks pretty cool. You're starting to get the hang of this IRL stuff.
