Looks good actually, you could add some more support on that belt and maybe underneath the disc though.

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 180 days.
Unless you're sure you want to reply, please consider starting a new topic. My topic, so HAH.

Anyways, I'm sort of back on the forum. However, I'm having trouble with a bot idea. I think I may need help over skype, if that's possible. If you have a suggestion for me so I can start off easy and a good looking bot, I'd appreciate it!
(I do have one bot, but it's ugly as hell).

DSL-S, HW, triple hybrid and you can choose the hybrid types.

you can also build it in stock if you feel like it, i guess.

Crap, a DSL-S robot. I'll try, but it may take me a while to actually pull something off. Any usual triple hybrids among the forums that could give me a head start? Like from yourself, for instance.

if you are more familiar with irl you can go with that as well

actually i'll just ask for a triple hybrid, but any triple hybrid

I'll see what I can do for the tourneys. And Nary, I'll get back to the DSL-S soon. Hoepfully, March Break doesn't end by the time I'm finished.

DP So I made a lightweight for Battlebots X...

SORRY,SORRY,SORRY!

It preforms "okay", but the weapons fly off once in a while. The armour is 1plast, motors for wheels are slimbacks, weapon is TWYC (not drive, the double one, I guess...), has 5-6 batts (ants). blue control board,

1mm plastic is very weak, and you can easily get away with 3/4 ants. I don't think the TWM2 is worth it, a normal one should be enough, and is the disk really needed? You could use the weight for much better things (armour, weapons or more aesthetics). I'd try and get the width of the chassis the same as the top of the wedge aswell, but it looks pretty decent

The original TWM motor is too slow. I'll try with the batts+armour. I'll take out the disk (was inspired from one of Redace's robots. Another disk was supposed to be on top). If I do that to the chassis, it will waste space and gain weight, but I'll try. I'll see what I can do.

this is a bad mindset for building irl bots, looks > efficiency

hmm... seems I've forgotten that ^ over the months (not even YEARS yet T-T) Okay, then.

GivMehDemRibz is looking good, and preforming fairly well

Poor "Something For The Week"

MassimoV · « **Reply #75 on:** March 19, 2015, 07:05:08 PM »

Wedge looks too standard. The whole bot is sorta boring.

1.Should I take out the bottom wedge
2.I have nothing else in mind. Something I can at least use.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #77 on:** March 19, 2015, 07:20:12 PM »

Yeah take off the bottom wedge

Okay, I took it off. Right now, I'm thinking if I should go for Battlebots, as I cannot think of any other bots I can make. (I want too make some, but in the end, they look and work crappy). I can't seem to get inspiration around here.

ty4er · « **Reply #79 on:** March 20, 2015, 11:46:01 AM »

Lurk around some showcases until you find some ideas, and pile them together into some bots. The main thing (imo) for irl bots is to make them look cool and fairly different.

That last bot just looks plain and boring now, i feel it'd look better with external wheels and a smaller bar
