Hmm.. didn't see that part on the comment at first. Anyways, that makes sense.

You need an insane amount of spatial awareness, but it'll definitely work. I think the axles would be occupying the same space (I.E. they would be stacked) if I managed to attach them. 346

Hello Everybody! I decided to take a break from Sheck Spinners for a while (I know how much you all love them :P) and rebuild some of my old bots. First up, The Devil's Cherry:
The Devil's Cherry was a decent bot during the time it was built, but bot building has seriously evolved since then. I first ditched the clubs for razors and expanded my disk. I then upped my weapon motor to a dual perm and the drive to NPC fasts. Lastly I gave him metal hinge wedges. This bot is probably one of my favorites (of the bots I have built). I like the look of the bot, particularly the weapon motor in back. With only 12 razors, High DP opponents are tough to beat. However, that Dual Perm packs a serious punch, able to score 6000+ hits occasionally. The downside to that is the torque of the Dual Perm works against the bot, constantly turning it. When driven by a human, the bot can be driven with some tactical driving, however I don't think an AI driver would work (though I haven't tried yet). The wedges are surprisingly good, and the 360 degree weapon radius makes flanking the bot quite difficult. Any comments would be appreciated. :D 347

No other real life bot has as many weapon components. I think VS with hammers can have the most weight put into their weapon while still being realistic. 348
Discussion / Re: RA2: the community in review.« on: August 21, 2011, 10:18:06 AM »Do you know what I want to say? This game's community is one of the worst I've actually seen for a game. While the modders do good work, the actual community is elitist, and prevents free choice. I've picked this up from all the lurking around not only the forums but some of the fan's websites, and building tips. From first hand experience I've had lots of trouble settling in as a newbie, and I'm sure any other new people that even look at this community will be driven away. It is powered purely by nostalgia. This deserves a reply. What is so bad about our community?You claim there is no free choice and that the community is elitist. I don't really understand what you mean. You can build whatever you want, it's just that showcasing really bad bots (unless the look really cool) is generally not liked by the community because it makes it seem like they have no desire to improve, thus it seems like a waste of time for them to have a showcase. You also claim that this community will scare off any newcomers. This is clearly false, as the community has seen a recent increase in members. 349

DSL TC Showcases / Re: Urjaks Old and Masterful Showcase« on: August 19, 2011, 03:16:26 PM »Looks pretty insane. Would it work if the poly extenders on the shell were pointing upwards instead of sideways? That would prevent me for attaching an axle to the top attachment point on the panels. Oh but i see one panel has 3 flails and 2 are on a poly extender, wynaut put them on the panel itself :P *headdesk* Good point. Though concentrating the razors lower would help better fight off undercutter SnS or HS. 355

Maybe I can enter an SnS instead. I decided to prove myself wrong and built this: Wreaking Havok II (see what I did there?) is a SHW FSS with 56 razors powered by a Dual Perm with two NPC fasts for drive. After painstakingly Effeing the axles on, I was able to get a satisfactory number of weapons onto a smaller disk than my first SHW FSS; this allows for a much quicker spin-up time (just a little slower than Weapon Array). I used overlapping half-sheets on the bottom to offer bottom protection (damage can still sometimes get through however), which allows it to beat the SHW gutrippers like King Rat, Shiva, and Claymore. Any comments would be appreciated. :D 357

I love the look of the first one (and second one :P), but the weapon choice is sort of non-IRL IMO.

DSL TC Showcases / Re: Purse`s DSL Showcase« on: August 19, 2011, 11:44:15 AM »
Alright, I'm actually going to give at least some advice on this. First off, attach your razors to the three attachment points on the disk that are pointing the most outward. Then, I would highly recommend getting some more drive (maybe two E-techs at least). The E-techs should be able to mount directly to a multi (no need for the extra exposed poly extender. Also, you can downgrade your disks down to armored disks (popup will kill you either way) which will give you some more weight for that extra drive.
Start with those improvements and we will go from there. 360
