angle connectors in DSL = no

ramplates are kinda crap as well.

the other one is good though. don't see the point of the carbon fiber extender ? is it to piss people off ? is it HS "armor" ? because it's not stabilizing or preventing immobilization in any way.

It's been done in the past, and considering most stock bots have too large or unpractical chassis... nope, not cheating.

I believe it applies to any AI bot. So once you have AI'ed one of your own bots, it will also have double strength armor.

sure, i can teach you how to build properly. even how to build well.

just ask me.

as for now : stop building underweight bots. irl needs supports. archfiend indeed needs more power and less ugly skins.

pole spikes are OK i suppose for a hammer, it is irl after all.

Damn SHIELD. That's gotta feel sad for both you and your girlfriend. I do not hope this offends you. Hopefully it works out in the end.

It was a much needed lesson on loss. Even if I didnt lose anyone.

Well said. After all, conflict is a teacher. The best one.

I found Naryar's favorite car:

Eh, it's green.

Also it needs MORE RAZORS and a flamethrower and probably two other weapon types on there.

But yeah, hybrid electric/combustion engine cars are pretty damn good. And I don't say that just because it's an hybrid car.

Ok, I've edited my post. Sorry about that.
What do you mean by the positive posts? Don't be too positive or something?

I believe he's talking about you posting on pretty much every showcase that you like their bot without any specific feedback. You're basically the opposite of Kurt except you post more often. What he's trying to say is if you like a bot, tell the builder why you like it. It helps them as a builder to improve more.

edit: oh right maybe I should actually comment the bots.

The bots are good. Nothing to complain about as far as DSL-S goes. All generic though but that's fine.

inb4 Badnik "ermagerd it's final Z"

Generic as hell, but it's a good build regardless.

lol it is though

it's not like:
-it's an ultra generic design
-you are not the one to pioneer the design
-most DSL-S builders have a HS like that in their botlab

it's like if now someone is going to build a DSL MW popup with 2 snappers, 6 razors, 2 NPC fasts, 2 hypnos and 2 metal hinge wedges and after that call every other generic mw dsl popup a clone of their special snowflake popup.

if someone has to claim the right of the design it must either be me, Reier, R0B0SH4RK or maybe urjak. Probably robo due to Enfilad3.

Don't worry. It's cool.

edge

So I'm not even allowed an opinion anymore?

Yeah but you're being a dick about it.

How? I can't say that I don't like it because "Hey how come you never like anything?"
I can't say how it looks messy or how to improve it because "Hey since when did you think you could build?"
So instead of that I put some vague-ass image showing I'm not a fan of the robot and it turns me into some kind of memey edgemaster apparently.

No matter what I do I'm always jumped on for no reason.

what massimov said, basically.

you are perfectly allowed your opinion, (I didn't deleted your post) simply try to make your posts less confrontational.

You having a history of posting "no I don't like that bot, period" (or something similar" in showcases. Often against the general consensus.

So we think you're just posting that to be edgy. Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, maybe we're wrong and you're right, or the opposite.

if you post a negative opinion then explain why your opinion is negative. So people can at least understand and not be frustrated when other people don't like this bot. if you post a negative opinion, it means there is a flaw on the bot : explain that flaw.

(And by the way it goes exactly the same with positive opinions. *looks at jaydee*)

How? I can't say that I don't like it because "Hey how come you never like anything?"

It's a valid question. Besides, you pretty much DID said that you don't like it.

I can't say how it looks messy or how to improve it because "Hey since when did you think you could build?"

If your advice is sound then you will normally not be told that. If your advice is poor, you shouldn't give advice.

If your advice is sound and people whack you for giving good advice then they are idiots and need to shut up.

And yes it DOES look a bit messy. So you are right. Though I don't believe it's really a flaw here.

No matter what I do I'm always jumped on for no reason.

No need to make yourself look like the victim here.

Plus - shut the up Wylde. You're being a dick, again, and spoiling the fun for pretty much everyone.

Don't flame/post flamebait in showcases or you will find me in your way.

i agree with badnik. try more skirts.

i would just make it a MW though, so you can make it less flimsy. don't think the design is a good LW design.
