about the craaigening... i made him a drill bot... and the bot is still unstable =(
Big Bubba: add ballasts to make it more wedgy GOT IT!
Chappa: i have done that thing and it works okay
Faw-Pac: i have done that, also i need those ballasts to keep the robots ass from pointing to the skies!

My building style is DSL-S avalanche so i can be a bit less realistic.

should i change the weapons on shankz from razors to something else? i feel like there too weak.

Didn't need to be 2 posts there, you could've edited the first one, to let you know. Double posting in a small timeframe is actually against GTM rules.

Faw-pac wouldn't have problems if it was actually built to weight I doubt - plus a rammer being completely uncontrollably fast is not an advantage, it'll never hit anything :P

As for razors, every weapon in Ironforge is balanced so they shouldn't be weak, but perhaps not suited to that application. A pointed spike of some description may work better.

probably want to post a screenshot so it's available at a glance, it's much simpler to analyze a picture than downloading and opening it, etc...
we're experienced enough here we can see what's going on if you show us a good angle

ecolusian · « **Reply #65 on:** July 30, 2015, 02:14:41 PM »

alrighty then take a look =) (its called Blue-Print)

First off, I split your post with DSL bots into a new topic in the DSL Showcase (See here - DSL bots don't go in Ironforge showcases :P)

As for the bot, you definitely want to get those drive motors mounted internally. You might need to extend the chassis slightly but they'll be so much better protected.

ecolusian · « **Reply #67 on:** August 04, 2015, 02:58:15 PM »

the armour is 10 aluminium and i moved the motors inside the chassis.

I would turn the spikes sideways for some SNS action. Trinity sns would be cool idea. Not sure on the T poker design here if you definitely want a poker though, I would have thought a full sideways rack would be the best way to go.

Reier · « **Reply #69 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:02:31 PM »

trinity is illegal in IF
you really cant do a trinity with that drive and piston anyway.

The weapon setup does seem a bit narrow though, I imagine it is difficult to hit opponents?
And you still have about 15kg left over, you can always add more armor or weapons or something. Pretty much always build to the weight limit.

Naryar · « **Reply #70 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:03:07 PM »

agreeing with avalanche. although you can do a focused poker, this one just seems a bit too focused.

ecolusian · « **Reply #71 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:04:03 PM »

so spread out the weapon array?

Naryar · « **Reply #72 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:06:55 PM »

yeah, a bit.

Also it's HS bait. Wheels are exposed, chassis is very exposed. Fix that.

ecolusian · « **Reply #73 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:11:27 PM »

my chassis is exposed? what do you mean by that o manly naryar?

Naryar · « **Reply #74 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:18:18 PM »

it's literally going to be destroyed by the first HS it meets because the forward part of the chassis is just going to be hit every single time.

also some bots will lodge themselves between the weapon and the wheels.

there is a thing called deflection in RA2. it's how your chassis is shaped and therefore how well does it take hits. sloped chassis increase deflection, and T-shaped chassis with the lower part of the T going forward are probably the worst in terms of deflection, apart from very narrow bots.

i have nothing against T chassis but do not put the lower part of the T forward, please : put it backward.

ecolusian · « **Reply #75 on:** August 04, 2015, 03:22:07 PM »

btw i fixed the weapon array.

Naryar · « **Reply #76 on:** August 05, 2015, 02:03:14 AM »

it still has the exact same problem i mentioned before

ecolusian · « **Reply #77 on:** August 05, 2015, 10:05:48 AM »

Then rebuild. Simple as that. Or move up a weightclass.

ecolusian · « **Reply #79 on:** August 05, 2015, 10:23:17 AM »

weightclass sounds good, ill rebuild
