BEHOLD! A NEW ROBOT!
Yeah, gonna be more active now that my current Laptop struggles to run Town Of Salem, and RA2 runs well on this = More RA2!
Behold the other remake of my classic DSL series, Blitzkrieg: Iron Warfare.

I think this is my first good robot in a long time!

I like this. Flipper looks cool.

I do think that the amount of wedges is a little excessive and am confused by the positioning of the ballast, but good job.


Edit: I also presume it's pretty damn fast?

It is fast, indeed. I kinda need the wedges though, or the flipper is useless because the knifes dont have much wedginess of their own.

"Good robot"
Yeah, no.
If it's Standard it has a bad wedge, not enough weapons, exposed chassis, and probably is too fast.

If it's IRL, the chassis has an odd shape and the only real outside components you put on to make it look pretty was the flipper, if that even counts. Plus the skin looks nooby.

hf shut the balls up you're not helping
give feedback at least instead of useless insults

yeah avalanche idk if it's the absolute toughest thing out there but it's not bad or anything. The speed will help make up for the narrow profile but the main weakness I see is lack of damage? I don't know how strong one IF beta is either. You might also want to put your ballasts on the front too to help the wedge.
does it have enough juice with just 2 batts?

all in all it is one of your better bots.

I made sure I picked the right amount of batteries. You may not have noticed, but i put Energizer batts next to the Beta. Fully powered. Hasnt yet been battletested, so watch this space in Battleshots.

"Good robot"
Yeah, no.
If it's Standard it needs a better wedge, more weapons, protected chassis, and smaller drive.

If it's IRL, the chassis has an odd shape and the only real outside components you put on to make it look pretty was the flipper, if that even counts. Plus the skin could be improved.
It's nothing but feedback, you just aren't paying attention.

It's not really IRL because of the way the arms line up with the chassis.
Fix that, and it will be IRL. Doesn't look too bad otherwise. If you made the chassis thinner it would probably look better though.

The chassis is so much wider than it needs to be, surely.

Chassis width looks fine imo, it just that the length seems to be a bit too long and the gap for the weapon motor is too big.

How come you noticed that and not that the rear of the robot is way too thin? If this was real life the robot would snap in half on contact.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

It's much more obvious than that considering how it's nearly floating.

I dont quite get what you mean.

If i decrease one sides side, cant quite fit in the wep motor. I dont quite get what you mean by gap for the weapon motor, unless you mean the gap in the middle of the U. if so, yeah, kind of.

arnt you meant to make it so that there is minimum space inside the chassis and only enough to fit your parts? cause there's alot of space on avalanches bot.
