aluminum is bad, swap the long batt for some ants like sylandro said and see if you can upgrade the armor to TI 1
Remember to use a Judge Burst, though.
One does not simply flank a bot...
gud advice 10/10 would shove a rail up my ass.
show me a lw that can kill r17! i'd like to see it.
most popups or wedges
>advice I wasn't even talking to him. Lrn2think before you post. I'm just doubting that even with the stupidity of the AI and the agility of a player controlled bot, it's possible to do so much damage with a poorly built bot by an inexperienced player to very well crafted bots made by much more experienced players, or even beat them.

how the  did you beat HW's with an average wedged LW that barely does any damage?
He did long matches and probably flanked them.

So after a bit of thought, I've logically deduced that making a popup IRL is... indeed possible.
If you had a beta motor setup but smaller, put a few spikes on a thing and hide it inside the chassis, then fired it, that would be as close to a popup as there is.
Any thoughts?

Hypnosis is a bit messy, nice use of the overkill wedge though. I guess now you can see why it isn't used much in IRL.
BattleBot.rar can use a much better name but it's so incredibly clean and perfect, and I love those wheelguards. Unfortunatly I don't think that extender being there is IRL, I mean I do but I think others will dispute over it.
Robot Mower is also suffering from RBND (Really bad name disorder), and is so messy that it's cool. I can see the parts where the weight limit and the rule of 7 choked you up, though.
And Big Willy... That is the coolest HS setup I've ever seen and I don't even care that it's messy; it's beautiful.

Why not do a DSL IRL LW BOTM for April?
DSL IRL LW is pretty damn hard imo I sometimes struggle to make a good IRL LW

some sort of 'urpics.fr' website. A french image uploading website I'm guessing.
Use imgur/tinypic/GTM.

Sat'arn. Not complex but the artwork is kinda cool
(Image removed from quote.)
That skin is perfect. Although, maybe the spike strips would work/look better than (for the front) what you have there? For the back, maybe a reskinned pole spike?

reg DSL is like 2 ugly (but buff) guys duking it out and giving each other bruises internal injuries and etc
IRL dsl is 2 really pretty girls fighting, but they can hardly fight apart from sissy-slapping each other
and then stock is just superhumans with 3+ arms and whatnot doing whatever they can to beat the other up
the bot is alright i geuss. nothing too special but the beater bars look weird
Yeah stock is just Zeus, Hades, Persephone, Poseidon, Chronos, Gaea, Charon and Ares all duking it out. Lightning and heckfire and tornados everywhere lol I'd rather have the wheels of the bot inside the chassis, looks cleaner that way or something. The skin could use some improvement, I see what you're trying to do but it's a little bit bleak.

Maybe if you started with stock, then you would have some sort of clue to what to do in DSL. You aren't near the skill level yet where you can afford to be wasting your time fiddling in DSL.
He's actually a pretty decent IRL builder. IRL realism has become accepted now. I don't waste my time with it, but there are a few builders around that push out some pretty interesting stuff.
Honestly, IRL is the only "realism" left in DSL. Standard DSL should just allow stacking already and call it a day.
And, since the criteria for IRL is generally more along the lines of "make it look as much like a real robot as possible," Sylandro is indeed actually pretty good.
IRL is like wrestling, while DSL standard is actual martial arts.
That's actually a pretty good analogy.
I disagree with the wrestling one; they're both martial arts, it's just IRL is like spiritual ascetic martial arts (Shaolin monks and such) and standard is more of a MMA Fight Technique type martial arts. Both look spectacular in their own ways.

So I'll give two spectrums.
I hate country. There are one or two exceptions to that, and that is all. Linkin Park lately has been really annoying me with all their electronic bleepy boopy crap, whereas their older stuff is at least tolerable. Smashing Pumpkins, I've logically deduced, has one of the worst singers they can possibly have. The guy's voice is so nasally and throaty... ugh. I've only had the unfortunate luck of hearing like 2 or 3 of their songs on the local rock/alt channel but both of them, the lead singer has turned me off. Maybe the radio (it tells you what song you're listening to, and who it's from) is completely wrong and Smashing Pumpkins is actually a really good Ska band or something.
As for my likes; Touhou background music is fantastic. While it might be considered electronic bloopity bleepity crap to some, the music is just so tastefully composed and it's perfect for what it's suited to do. There's this musician/guitarist/instrumentalist on NG called Xenogenocide and he writes and plays his own heavy metal and it's really really great quality, and he has a great sense of humor. The Foo Fighters is fantastic. I'm recovering from a short obsession with Nirvana as well, I like their basslines though. SOAD, while their music might not be favorable by those who like metal (ahem Enigma, madman) or even those who don't, are pretty genius and they play songs that sound like they're extremely hard to play but are actually extremely easy which I like, because that makes me look like a better bassist than I am.

I think it would look better if you just removed the lightning spikes and increased the bar length.
Adding on to this; if you removed the lightning spikes (or if you really like it, lessen them) then you could add the teeth to the hexplate.

It's not a poor argument. What you've got to realise is that our robots are built for a different purpose to those in the US. We build robots with less armour, putting more weight into powerful weapons that throw stuff around and look spectacular. US robots put a lot more weight into armour to stand up to spinners and consequently their robots (bar the spinners) are much less spectacular than ours, which is made up by the fact that the spinners are. Put our robots in a US arena and they wouldn't stand a chance. Put US robots in our arena and they wouldn't stand a chance.
And rebuilding a heavyweight in 20 minutes is a very tall order. I cannot see this being realistic.
The US has gone the way it has because robots that face spinners have to be so much tougher. Introduce spinners here and it would go the same way (spinners and boxes). Us roboteers don't think this would be a better approach!
Fair enough, I agree that as it stands today, the UK bots are more fit for TV than the US ones. Would it work to allow spinners with restrictions? For instance, Dragon Con has a hard limit of 20 ft/second tip speed, which isn't very much at a heavyweight level.
By spinners, we're talking disk spinners and bar spinners, not circular saw bots or chainsaw bots (god help anyone who tries that matilda logic), right? I'd assume you guys have the armor for circular saw bots; they really aren't that damaging.

if only you had the weight to line that top hexplate with some sort of teeth, that'd be really shanazzy
Otherwise, those hammers look like they pass through the lightning spikes and that flatmotor being there is sort of an eyesore. Otherwise, I like the concept :3

90% of reggae and 90% of jazz. The first because they have weak, foolish morality, the second one I just can't stand.
The great majority of the fabricated pop music is also sh**. By fabricated, I mean these guys who come from televised series and that think they have any talent.
also, any metal with hyper-distorted, hyper-loud and completely indecipherable growling. *pokes madman with a stick*
I know you aren't entirely blasting jazz, but some Jazz/Swing/Groove can be extremely manly and inspirational, like Gonna Fly Now from the Rocky movies, and Snake Eater from MGS3: Snake Eater. Of course, I'm biased because I play Tenor Sax for jazz :P
Eh, I do like a lot Cowboy Bebop's soundtrack. Despite being jazz.
Mhmm. I especially like the opening theme, I love how fast and thrashy it is while still being harmonic and jazzy.

Rhino liner would look so badass. Or, give it a carbon fiber decal job because that'd be badass too.
Anyway, got a new clarinet a few days ago. 'Tis a used Selmer with the whole package (case, barrel, left + right, bell) and a Bundy mouthpiece and an archaic Vandoren 3 hiding in there which I keep for good luck (damn thing's so old that there is dust on it, instead of mold). It has a pretty quality tone (which, is a case of the instrument, not the player) and the throat tones are pretty nice as well. Cost 150$ which is ~50$ less then my sh**ty chinkhole Jean Baptiste clarinet, which is in a bad state at the moment; sporting ripped pads and bent keys, a broken thumbrest and Poland. It was also pretty crap when I got it too so whatever.
I've also got a physically challenged Bundy but I dropped it pretty hard on a pretty hard concrete block a few months ago and it has some of the same problems. Only difference is I can play the Jean Baptiste with no problem (other than being so sharp or so flat that tuners register the note as a different note), while I cannot, no matter how hard my manly lungs try, force a single note out of the Bundy.
So it goes.
