I'd like to request the Tiberius series 1 2 3 and 4 I made the original Tiberius with a servo motor with t connected extenders to stop the crusher go 360 degrees
He's already done tiberius 3. Wham did tiberius 4. I agree with Knight.

First off, this showcase is a complete mess, and you're all making it MORE of a mess by throwing sh**fits at each other giving advice you don't agree with. Yes, helloface could have elaborated on what he means by "dat skin is retarded dude", but that doesn't mean he needs multiple people telling him to shut up. Just have one guy say "that may be wrong and here's why:" and leave it at that.

Jaydee, you really need to work on your management of chassis space and components. I know you're going for "realism" with the air tanks (pistons and servo pistons are the only components that actually need air tanks), but you shouldn't spam 10+ small air tanks randomly. That's not realistic, that's stupid. So is the fact that your heavyweight bot is powered by a tic-tac box sized battery. If you're going to use an edited battery, consider copying over a supervolt (the big black battery) from stock and editing the .txt file to suit your ,,,,,,,,,,?,,,,,????needs.  You also need to focus on trying to get your robot up to the weight limit. 470kg on any robot is unacceptable, let alone a custom bot where you can edit anything's weight/damage/HP/etc on a whim.  You seem to claim that "this robot was made in DSL3", when there is clearly a (most likely edited) skirt hinge powering the flipper, and a battery not found in DSL 3.

If you don't understand what I'm trying to get at with this, or if you don't know how to edit components for your custom component bot, feel free to PM me or add me on skype. It's awesumsaucew (dumb username, I know). I'm open for any questions.
Can someone up-rep Mr.As for this? Thank you. It was made with custom components and the tic-tac battery is an infinite battery from TommyProductionsInc that came with Orrion. But I don't like the idea of a weight limit. If I'm trying to make a good robot but go over a self-made limit in the process then the robot isn't going to be good. People building for robot wars didn't say "the limit is 100 kg but I just wanna make a 500 kg robot" but apart from that, thanks.
And here, we see the not as skilled builders on GTM flock together in order to exert their almost non existant superiority on a builder who is not as "skilled" as them, by repeating the same thing over and over.
I'm not getting at anything here, but please, do tell us all, what makes a person more skilled at this game than anyone else so we can trespass the invisible barrier that prevents anyone who isn't a 100% master guru at RA2 from giving advice, regardless of how right or wrong it is. I'm genuinely interested, I think we can all benefit including the owner of this thread.
You have people who know and can apply what they are talking about, and then you have parrots that repeat what others said without the understanding.

In short, don't be a parrot.  Don't give advice on things you can't do yourself.

Jaydee, you really need to work on your management of chassis space and components.

I am sorry man but this is just bad advice.  It's a custom bot, who cares how much it weights?  All that matters in the end is if it looks good.

So yes, the inside doesn't look good, but "efficiency" or "chassis space" has absolutely nothing to do with it.  Just throw in a few orange batteries and large tanks and that's it.

The bot's shape is fine.  It can use a better skin.  I don't know why people are swarming at him about all the other things that doesn't matter.

I've got an idea. Look at any decent IRL builders (mainly MassimoV, Scrap daddy, Thyrus, and a few others) and try to clone it, then we can detect that when you build your bots, what you are most faulty at :)
Let me just stop you right here.  We got more than enough clones as is.  We do not need another cloner.
Thank you for all of this. I laughed at the last bit
Also I partly agree with what you said with Mr as. Part of it is bad but the rest is some of the most positive help I've had on Gametechmods. In short, thank you.
Showcase of the year 2014
Dunno if this is legit but thanks.
What are you talking about?
He is talking about how all these people who never seem to comment anywhere else other than here and constantly repeat the same things over and over and how like 4 people posts the same exact thing.

And that last part is just immature.
So using the word retarded to describe someone's skin choice isn't immature?
TBH I like helloface but you're right.

I'm gonna get a hell of a lot of backlash for this but I don't see a huge point in splashes. I know it's the background to a presentation of a new bot but it's not much worth getting excited about in my opinion. Other's have a totally different opinion to me though.

I wasn't too bothered about the skin. Same with all my robots.
And that there is my main problem with all of your robots. If you can't make the robot look nice using components effectively, then you can use the skin as something to fall back on. I bet if you had given this robot a nice skin it would have been much better received.
It's really not that hard to put a little effort into skinning a robot nicely.
The robot itself doesn't look that bad imo, although I really dislike the wheels sticking out of the chassis like that. Looks awkward.
He's probably complaining because it's not a very clear font to use, and a bit unnecessary. Irrelevant to the robot, but good general advice.
I always try a good skin on my robots. I'm just not totally bothered about a robots skin.
Also, most of the fonts I useare irrelevant yo the bot
Also, what advice apart from 8 pics that I commented on is there?

1. Why are the air tanks in there? You don't need them for this kind of bot, they're unnecessary and useless.
2. Is the skirt hinge a custom burst motor modified to be powerful? That's my only theory why that's there in the first place.
3. Please use extender work of some to make a fake piston making the flipper IRL since that is what you are going for.
4. Add some wheel hole on the side where the wheel pops out so it doesn't look unrealistic and awkward or hide them in the chassis.
5. You don't need to make any fancy splash unless your trying to show off something that looks like a BOTM Splash.

I hope this is helpful advice and I don't mean to offend you.
I'm never offended by advice. I know what you mean by fake piston's. I'll do the wheel hole thing as I couldn't find a drive motor smaller than that and they're the only wheels that don't give much ground clearance but let you drive.
Thanks for the fancy splash thing. I wasn't trying for one. It's a Cassius skirt hinge. If you've watched SR's let's build leveler 2, you'll know what I mean. I'll take the tanks out as you and others have said it's useless.
It's not awful, at least. The flipper arm looks decent.

However, I think it'd look better with the wheels tucked inside the chassis.

I've explained the wheel problem above but thanks anyway and thanks on the flipper arm.
I honestly think the robot is decent, obviously an improvement over 4 Real. What you need to add is some extenders under the flipper to look like a ram and bring the wheels in. You also don't need the air tanks as burst motors don't draw air.

Why do we need inside shots on a non-competitive robot.
Why do we need eight shots of the robot.
Why are you using that font.
Why is the skin you used so retarded.
Why are you still not taking anyone's advice.
Shut up, helloface.

Thanks for what you said on helloface. And I'll try doing what you and others have said.
Why do we need inside shots on a non-competitive robot.
Why do we need eight shots of the robot.
Why are you using that font.
Why is the skin you used so retarded.

The skin doesn't even matter. Why are you putting it as the focal point of your complaint?
Hahaha, you just owned him! Nice one
Please just listen to us, when you don't reply to advice it makes you look like an utter twit
Ok

WHAT?
I get that I don't need inside shots but complaining about font? Seriously??

I not gonna commet on all your bots jaydee, no matter how insanely messy the skins are, and such a huge chassis, shrink it!
lol


But anyway, do the artifact things prevent bots from going up it?

They do!
Why is it so tall? Why is it so huge?
Build your chassis around your components and not the other way around. It will look a lot more slick and will be much more efficient.
It was a ripper tribute.
Who cares if the chassis is big? It's an IRL bot.
Thanks.
You should give making an HD skin a try. I make a lot of robots that look pretty mediocre until I give them a nice skin, and if you look at most of the good builders they do put time into their skins.
The flipper itself looks not too bad to me, although I would use a mini extender to put the police light on top of the robot, to keep the flipper looking cleaner, and add a piston underneath, as the other guys said. Also I don't know how you put the flipper together but it might be possible for you to get rid of the gaps between the plates with effe and bigger panels, again to make it look cleaner.
Overall, I'd say it does show improvement from your previous stuff.
I wasn't too bothered about the skin. Same with all my robots. Thanks anyway.
I understood the advice but I didn't know how to rid the gaps.
this probably won't blow you all away, but I think it's pretty good. And reminds me of Ripper.
(Image removed from quote.)
The chassis is to tall, batteries are a bit much, needs stronger drive (unless I'm mistaken) and the wheels... (are those ants?) What's the flipper motor?
I would also recommend (like Naster) to use a better skin. Also that weapon at the back wont do anything (not to mention it doesn't seem that cool imo)

Better then the rest, in my opinion.


(Edited huge to tall, since that's what I meant. Maybe the sides are a bit big, idk).
Ripper blah blah blah
Those are ants. Cassius skirt hinge.
Needs better drive
It's probably a H4X motor :P

Ah. At first glance I thought they were astros.

Would help If there was only one picture up close so I could see the components clearer. :P
I guess
The chassis is way too huge and you don't need that many cold fusion reactors, take them out and leave 1 then:

- Reskin it- the skin isn't too bad but could be better
- spend weight upgrading the weapon system/looks of it

and reshowcase it, I'm sure after that it'll be 10x better :)

And then, we can leave reccomendations on how to improve it further after that
I left one in!

Ok, love this one:

Jaydee your suggestions are looking more and more like requests and demands every time I see them. Tone it down. I'm sure HB has a good grasp on the current scene.
Seriously, it wasn't a request. To plazmic inferno's point, maybe not noisy cricket, but ewe 3 is the teams newest incarnation. It been to quite a few events.

Here's some I suggest, not because I really want to see them but because they are huge names of robot wars today.
Thor
Kan-Opener
Big Nipper
Ewe 3
Noisy Cricket.

You might not do them but just wanted to suggest them because seeing's how this is an official Robot Wars product, fans like me would expect them in the mod. I'm not getting angry at anyone so sorry if this comes across that way. But still, please include DTK. It's fabulous!

This is RA2. What you said about fluffy v ripper,
Using SR's fluffy and Wham's Ripper (S7), fluffy would keep ripping (get it!) its sides off and knock out the chassis. Believe me. It's that powerful.
TK, I'll send a PM tomorrow. Good luck with this by the way.
