While digging through my old stuff in a nostalgia trip, I found a couple of bots that were only half-finished. Thus now, I've finished them properly:  Hyper Karnage: An attempted remake of Super Karnage that I attempted back when Starcore came back proper and was trying to properly finish Starcore v4, it's got 2 blacks. Claw Barrier: An experiment on the 24-edge HS (there's 8 motors with 3 bear claws each) inspired by Geice's Gridlock, it also got 2 blacks. Quelle: A VS twist on the concept of Clickbeetle's Sacrifice ( https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14809heroic.jpg) series, unfortunately for some reason it's terrible at lifting other bots Aria of The Planets: That one time I tried to jam caster armor on a middleweight HS. It's great vs popups, but just doesn't have the firepower to beat other HSes. Also my first attempt at a custom decal

Btw, while making Tap I've figured out how to cure AGOD after it happens. All you gotta do is:
Start a match, press F12 (to turn on wireframe mode), wait a couple seconds, then quit.
It appears that AGOD is caused by memory corruption, where after you save a bot the game would glitch the axles a split second off-screen and cause the game to save the glitched hitboxes instead, by quitting a match in wireframe mode for some reason it forces the game to load the bot correctly the next time you enter a match.
Mind you, even after this fix AGOD might still happen again even if you never touch the bot lab afterwards, but for tournaments this is great

Hey, that's really nice. Good job.
Thanks! I admit I have no clue on how to make splashes or custom paintjobs, so I'm sorry if it looks really basic by your standards

irl popup located
Fam you seen those skirts?
Yeah I only put those skirts bc idk which things make for a good wedge in DSL 2.2, I presume the new wedge edges are the best, but they're so tiny
If you're not trying to build IRL then the skirts are fine. They're still one of the best wedge components, but they generally aren't legal in IRL building, which is why I brought it up in response to 8bean calling it an IRL popup. If you're going for DSL-S here which I assume you are then you're fine.
No I was going for IRL, and the spikes arent actually pop-ups, they're a piston poker (as a throwback to Robot Wars Season 2 Bodyhammer), I just angled the heavy spikes bc that was the only way to get them to fit inside the shell realistically

Does this game's damage system support crushers? My friend who's a big fan of Razer really wants to play a game where crushers are viable

How good is the wedge?

I haven't downloaded this build yet but I just wanna ask, is there a way to create true spherical armor in this game? I've always didnt like how RA2's chassis creation had no way to handle actual spheres (or pure triangles)

"Last" as in "most recent" or last as in "final"?
Graze is a part of a family of (downward spinning) vertical flail spinners that'll be my final stock robots, here's the LW of the family  And next week the HW will come....

This is my last stock robot.

brushless is the new hotness but brushed is the more simple option especially at the insect level.
Nice! Wish there's any combot competitions here in Indonesia, it's gonna cost a ton of money to make a featherweight and fly to the UK for sure

Do you guys know any in-depth combot making guides that are up-to-date? The Riobotz one is from way back in 2009 and the world has changed a lot since then.
The basics on the whole have not changed much. Components and methods have more-so. The discussions of brushed vs. brushless motors and how specifically to construct a robot are generally lost on someone without the understanding of robots and engineering that it provides. It taught me everything I needed to know in about 2016 to get me started, and know the questions to ask to get myself up to speed.
Other good resources:
Robert Cowan's youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPOTPYuDsKnXP9I-ph4yMgg
Charles Guan's legendary Instructables guide
https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-your-Everything-Really-Really-Fast/
I admit I'm a bit out of touch with robots these days, is brushless the default now or something?

Don't know what's going on with the mini wheels. You could just swap them for shinies and you'll be able to upgrade the Z-teks to HPZs.
Minis are the only ones small enough to tilt the bot enough for it to actually somewhat turn, this bot is more of an experiment anyways

Shame I couldnt enter in time, I already had a bot made but I couldn't send it due to IRL stuff..

I tried your setup, but the bot now becomes way too low to be able to snipe HS chassises. However, the bigger problem i've found after testing this thing some more is that after just 1 swing its a 90% for it to flip over itself and a 50/50 whether it gets to self right at all, which means that it actually loses to popups since it'll just get everything it has removed while the popup is only at like 50% health. I have no idea how to cure this, but the big culprit is the piston itself, so unless theres a way to balance the bot while still using the piston im afraid ill have to retire this bot.

Are you going for realism or are you going for competitiveness?

Why no entries?
Maybe bc rn there aren't any stock bigshots (Geice/Sage/Mr.AS) that are entering this tourney?
