Might be a decent idea, actually.

If some of you remember, I uploaded pictures of my BBX entries:
LW - Barney
MW - Digitus
HW - Cerealisation

Now, although it got some praise, I wasn't really confident with Cerealisation, yes it looked the part but I thought it really wasn't good enough for the HW division. So I built a NEW HW robot to replace it:



It's a thwacker, risky I know. But it would be nice to see a few. Say what you like, I'm in BBX for fun and good sportsmanship.

Note: Cerealisation will be upgraded so it can compete in the SHW division (if I can complete it in time!!!)

That is a tiny amount of weaponry even for an IRL bot.

No, I agree with Craaig. The skin is ok but the design in itself is somewhat bland and very weak and I don't believe your idea of fun is entering a bot that will get curbstomped.

IRL may not be all about combat efficiency, but it's still a competition.

No, the skin is fine. the DESIGN is bland. It's just a 4WD box with a generic weapon. And that here weapon would be fine on a LW, but not a HW.

Make it more interesting, like a rammer/thwack hybrid. Probably you should use 2WD Technos with drive Eteks, because your drive is too weak if it has 4WD NPCF with Tornados like I think it has.

Or you can still go pure thwack, use 2 arms. You can however use a cooler weapon that just 70kg hammers, else people will believe you are entering a DSL-S bot into an IRL tournament.

Admittedly an IRL thwack should look like a DSL-Standard thwack... like drums.

Also where did all your weight go ? Armor ? I'm sure this bot should be 400 kg, maybe 300 kg... but not 800.

And yes, DSL pro's... I'll let you get on and I'll go back to Ironforge xD
Haters gonna hate~ :3

Oh look, jonzu is multiaccounting.
How about no

Tibsy, you're getting better. Try using some slot stickers so the wheels don't look like they're sticking out of the chassis. And what Naryar said, it sorta needs more weapons since it's a HEAVYWEIGHT.

You know specifying 'heavyweight' in all caps doesn't motivate me to improve it.
Thanks though! :)

Well there is always the cruiserweight (600kg) class which I was talking about earlier. But since you mentioned BBX and will enter there with it, forget what I said.

the thing is he's right. heavyweights kinda need 3x the amount of weapons that there is on a LW because they're  roughly 3x heavier.

of course it depends of the bot type but even on a hw popup this weapon weight will be unsufficient. On a thwack... see where I am going ?

We are NOT trying to piss you off or get you out of the forums or disgust you from DSL. At all.

We're simply trying to make you build better designs.

Simply, advice is not necessarily nice. Advice is simply advice. Take it and your building will improve. Ignore it and it will stagnate.

Trust me once I was only average in DSL. Then I grew up, with other's designs.

I apologise if my advice may have sounded too harsh or arrogant. It wasn't the point and I wasn't trying to be that. I was merely saying what was wrong with your bot, and trying to correct that.

To be honest Naryar... I'm kinda drunk... I have the upmost respect for you, its just my low confidence... When I take advice I think it means that I suck or I'm not good enough..

And while I'm being honest, yes. It did seem arrogance... Today's just not gone well. I'm going to bed.

gee kurt are you done competing for
? did someone bullied you and hurt your feelings today so you lash out on the internets ?

everyone is attention seeking. yes this particular builder was attention seeking in the past, I called him out of it, it's past.

he's drunk of course he is attention seeking. besides this is said by Meme "hey i am edgy to people newer than me LOOK AT ME XD" Wylde.

right now i feel that this guy may just leave dsl. we don't want that, so i am performing damage control.

don't ruin it son
