Discussion / Idea for next DSL update

Is it possible to change the game so that the chassis can be edited even while components are in it?

It seems to me you are as much designing the bot as building it, so I think its reasonable that you should be able to adjust the chassis whenever you want.

It must be possible to alter the code so that the components stay in place when you want to edit the chassis.

I doubt Adrian Newey starts from scratch every time he wants to make an adjustment.

DSL TC Showcases / Deadmetal showcase

« on: October 29, 2010, 06:43:55 AM »

I thought I'd start up a showcase of my own. I've decided to scrap the way I've been building bots and start with a fresh approach.

I am planning to start a build later today, so before I do I would like to know any 'golden rules' of construction.

For example using skirting, how best to use it, motors, tyres etc.

Is the use of the cheat where two parts occupy the same place common? I don't intend to use it but is it something to look out for?
