Ideally I would have made them transparent if there was clear square extenders which would have hopefully made them look better, but there's not unfortunately.

Would look infinitely worse and weigh a ton more. Polycarb panels clipping through each other looks like ass

Came at it with a fresh head today and managed to make a bunch of (what I think are) improvements. Switched the bursts for the wings from Very Small VDMAs to Smalls, which makes it much more reliable as a srimech. Changed the mounting of the motors so that the wheels are less ugly, and shoehorned another battlepack in so it has much better battery life now. Ditching the double wheels gave me a bunch of weight so it's still below the HW limit too at 797.6 KG.

Seeing all these robot showcases makes me really depressed. Not because they are bad, but because I wish I had the skills to build such well-built robots. Especially how to use armour panels effectively. But you make mad good machines.

The component freedom mod, DSC's IRL packs and practice are all it takes. Set up a showcase of your own so people can give you advice and you'll improve in no time (If you check the first page of this showcase you'll see the kind of stuff I was building when I first started here)

Thanks for the response! I've downloaded the mod and already have the IRL extenders, armour platers and other stuff. Pretty new to forum posts too so I will figure out how to make a showcase forum. Thanks again!

Neeeeeeew bot. Been enjoying making animal-themed bots lately so here's another. This is Pissed Off Bison. I wonder if you can guess what animal it's meant to be based on. Front hinge flipper with 2 small VDMA R/P pistons for the flipper, so not the most powerful thing in the world but also not the least. Dual TWMR2 drive so it's reasonably nippy, and all steel armour except the underside which is Alu, so it's fairly tanky too Started out as a way overweight CW but there was no way I was getting it into the CW limit so I upped the armour to steel and called it a HW. Still a bit underweight at 767.2 KG though so I have a bit of weight to play with if you have suggestions for improvements. 2 black batts and 1 ant for power.

Have you considered changing some of the back armour to Ti and the the underside to Ti, could better protect it from gutrips? And if you'd like to knock off 35kg to make it a CW. Maybe change the steel to Ti

I may change the underside to Ti yeah. Back armour is already all Steel. As for dropping it to a CW by changing Steel to Ti, It originally WAS Ti, but it was 35KG overweight anyway (and this was with only the very front panel being Ti, the rest being Alu), so I just upped everything to Steel and made it a HW. It's got enough drive and weapon power to do fine as an HW anyway.

That's a pretty neat flipper. Is there anything in the chassis apart from baseplate anchors?

Nope just a baseplate anchor. It uses the component freedom / sergepatcher mod to allow components to be attached to extenders outside the chassis. Bots like this are known as extenderbots.

The back does look a little exposed but I like the work done on the main body with the eyes and eyebrows

The internals image has the back panels removed. It's not that exposed when it's complete don't worry
