Title: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Yeastisbeast on December 28, 2015, 12:17:00 PM: Just downloaded DSL3 and thought'd I'd do a showcase to help me inprove my undoubtedly awful designs.
1st bot is grey area:

Has Aluminium 10 armour

Post by: Badger on December 28, 2015, 02:11:29 PM: You should try to build to a weight limit, 400 for MW or 800 for HW. Also it looks like it's a bit underpowered but I could be wrong there.

Post by: Naryar on December 29, 2015, 07:16:31 AM: -This extender work surrounding your drum bot has no point. Remove it if you're not going to attach stuff on it.

-On Grey Area, those wheels are poor. Use something better like Slipperbottom/Tornado/Hypnodisc wheels unless you want to keep those wheels for aesthetic purposes. The extender work on the flipper is also a bit fragile and exposed.

Post by: Reier on December 29, 2015, 10:06:44 AM: also note that on grey area you are using weapon motors for drive motors :)

Post by: Naryar on December 29, 2015, 11:59:47 AM: that may be the DSL3 drive dual mag, though.

IRL, Grey Area is 778.2, Khione is 387.7 and Throwing star is 243.8

Post by: Badger on December 30, 2015, 05:02:25 AM: They're a lot closer to the weight limits, good job on that. However, you're still not using ant batteries.

premature question. let him first build more, experiment, discover, and eventually his building style will verge towards one of them.

im pretty sure the WP836E's are actually good in DSL3, and ant batts are weak

Post by: Gauche Suede on December 30, 2015, 07:03:59 AM: Also, why are the screenshots so blurry ? Is it because you're running the game at 800x600 ?

Post by: Yeastisbeast on December 31, 2015, 05:08:40 AM: Top:Twinkle, Twinkle Sattelite Dish, Al10 armour
Bottom: Salty Sid, St1 armour

Does TTSD count an IRL? I checked, and the components don't go through each other I think, but I've never seen a real robot anything like it.
Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Badger on December 31, 2015, 05:15:46 AM: IRL robots dont usually use skirts as wedges, and would have some motor protection.
Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Naryar on December 31, 2015, 07:31:58 AM: why do you have a srimech on a vertical spinner ? just use all that srimech weight for a stronger weapon and make it so you can selfright with the spinner.

also aluminium armor is generally very poor in dsl. titanium is best, plastic is generally good and steel is OK.

also alu 10 is a lot. I don't think you need that much armor.

about irl... that vs needs motor protection and disc supports (well fake supports, just make it so it appears to support the disc) to be irl. anyways you'll need stronger weapon motors. maybe use Perm 80's inside the chassis so they are protected and you just need supports.

skirts don't make something nn-irl in my books unless it is blatantly unrealistic such as using polycarbonate skirts as stabilizers.

Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Naryar on January 01, 2016, 05:14:00 AM: it really, really, really needs to be faster

also very underweight...
Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Badger on January 01, 2016, 05:22:15 AM: Happy new year! Better screenshots would be nice, and from multiple angles, maybe have 1 image per bot.

How can I have multiple angles for screenshots and 1 image per bot?

Naryar, I'll try to give T.T.S.D better motors. Thx 4 helping me :smile:
Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Badger on January 02, 2016, 06:01:29 AM: As in have 1 image file per bot, instead of cramming it into a single file. It just makes it easier to view =]
Title: Re: Yeasisbeast's DSL3 probably mostly IRL showcase
Post by: Yeastisbeast on January 03, 2016, 03:47:34 AM: Will do for future bots, thx Badger. Here's the improved version of T.T.S.D, H.I.W.W.Y.W(How I wonder what you wish)
