@Click
with you deleting the metal hinge and making the skirts useless for wedges in DSL 3, what can we use to attach our wedges with?

I highly doubt click will be removing burst motors....so we shall use them, just like in stock...

oh yeah, that. But they suck on fast bots because they lift the wedges when the bot moves.

okay

[Naryar]

Stop posting in this thread unless Click does, that is all.

I didn't deleted anything, but it's becoming annoying that newbs bump frequently this thread for nothing.

This is the DSL 3.0 PREVIEW thread, not the DSL 3.0 SUGGESTIONS thread. This is for stuff that WILL happen. So stop posting your suggestions in this thread.

I swear I will start to smite people that abuse this thread.

[Reier]

You could lock it I suppose till CB posts but bleh.

[Badnik96]

I agree. Lock the thread and create a "comments thread" for praising Click.

Two more unwarranted posts... Great.

Edit: sh**. I just did it too.

[Nightfall]

Can't wait for it
Also, that drag strip is intresting idea

[JoeBlo]

I cleaned it... and it all just got filled up with off topic again :/


I moved the topic into Mods and Designs too instead of Mod Ideas so it wasnt so misleading too


Ideas are welcome in the Mod ideas section.. but keep this one clean guys :)

I'M BAAAAAAAACK and I have new stuff.
 
Never really intended to be gone from GTM for... what was it, a month?  Two?  It just sort of happened.  But I haven't been idle in that time.  Here's what's new:
 
- Wheels are 100% done.  Rebalanced, more realistically weighted, all have extra attach points on the outside face (except shiny hub), and driving controls are no longer reversed when driving on top of bots or obstacles in the test garage.
 
- This is fixed:

 
- Meet the new carbon fiber extender.

 
It now has an attachment point in the middle, because that's just insanely useful.  It also has attachment points on all four sides so you don't have to rotate it 90 degrees when it attaches the wrong way because that's just insanely annoying.  And it's a tube now instead of a 90 degree angle because this is a more realistic shape, plus it just plain looks better.  You have to admit it looked really awkward when you put weapons on the old CF extenders.
 
In addition to all that obvious stuff, there's also some behind the scenes tweaks.  The end attachment points are now the same distance from the ends (this distance is 5 cm) so it doesn't matter which attachment points you use.  All extenders are now EXACTLY the length they say they are, so for example, 4 20cm extenders won't be slightly longer than 1 80cm extender.  And, the skin is no longer stretched on the longer versions.
 

 
^ That is actually a bunch of different extender lengths attached together, yet the skin stays consistent and loops nicely.
 
- And finally:

 
How many times have you wished for one of these?  No more finagling with ugly sideways extenders--the 10cm extender is now available for those times when you just need a really short extender.
 
The aluminum, titanium, and steel extenders will be the same as this, except they'll be square because that is a more common shape in real robots.  Polycarbonate extenders are being ditched, because frankly, they don't exist in real life and they look kinda ugly to boot.  If you use polycarbonate IRL it's in a sheet, not a rod.  Aluminum will be the new 2kg/20cm extender, titanium will be 3kg/20cm, and steel will stay 5kg/20cm.

Man Click, this stuff is so sick. Glad to see the progress.

[cephalopod]

I was wondering just the other day what's happening behind the scenes.. You have made me very smiley indeed. Great to hear work is still ongoing :D

[Badnik96]

Awesome, nice job Click.
