Not bad at all, I like it. My only criticism is the lack of a slot for the spikes on the skin. If you were to add them you would probably have to rearrange the volume bars, but I think it would be worth it.

I wub the skin. How well does it wedge things?

Not yet tested in battle. Will get back to you on that one.

I really like the robot, especially with the dubstep skin going on there.

*sniffs* 'Sup? I redid Yeti while I was ill.

He needed a major overhaul. And he's in a more comfortable environment than the cutthroat world of Stock.

Also, I do apologize for my rash attitude towards the tournament host, RedAce. It was mainly in PM but I wasn't myself, main kudos goes to him for putting the effort into the tournament and my totally horrific stock entries that he had to put into which were completely dominated by more experienced builders. I decided to stop with Stock and go to something you know and I know that I'm familiar with.

Thanks for the fun, better luck whenever I decide to do stock again ^^

Man all your skins look nice.

Stock isn't that bad though, you just have to learn all the tricks and glitches to efficient building. Although it seems like you prefer to make nice looking IRL bots, which Ironforge and DSL are better for. Keep up what you're doing

Thanks dude. I wanted to carry on developing Yeti as a sort of... Test Tube Mouse if you will, I'll develop new building techniques which I can add to the bot. And also parallelogram chassis are quite efficient (mostly).

Please do not ask what the HELL this thing is meant to be!!! During my time being ill I got bored on ironforge one evening:

Yeah.. Scruffy extender work, crap wedge... Want me to carry on with the list of awfulness?

Oh, xD *face palms* sorry. Thanks man, what do you think of the new Yeti? Better than the stock version? lol

martymidget · « **Reply #177 on:** February 19, 2015, 06:23:40 AM »

honestly, it needs a cleanup and a skin and it'll be a pretty good bot.

At your own discretion, of course.

Well, If I'm honest I'm alright at the skinning. And to be honest I need to have a good old scruffy bot because that's what it's all about in my opinion. I wanted an effect to make it look like it had just been from a scrapyard, and it certainly has along with an explosion in a scaffold factory also.

cephalopod · « **Reply #179 on:** February 19, 2015, 06:26:48 AM »

A bot like that really doesn't need extenders everywhere to make it look great. Sometimes, less is more - you may end up making something that looks like a totally realistic real life bot, which is much more impressive than crazy extenders in my opinion at least.
(and before you freak out, yes your bots are good, just take the opinions you think could be valid and try them out in future - we're not criticizing you :P)
