@the VS : i believe 2-mag drive is sorta bad in DSL, and that fast npc is better.

also how is forward speed compared to turning speed ? does it suffer from overturning ?
You are correct about drive.

He turns fast and I didn't notice any major over steering, but the side opposite of the turn will lift off the floor slightly if the robots turns 180 degrees. This doesn't seem to effect performance because it is hard to not face an opponent when they're flying backwards OOTA.

Obviously clean up work is required for the weapon rests and I should probably redo the back because it actually doesn't line up with the skin. It's also boxxxy and so I hate it anyways. 797ish.

there are more categories than active members
*Still won't win anything*

Perhaps if you and buddy vote for yourself in all the categories, you can win one of the really close awards.

"rejected for RA2CF use"

No extender bots, people.

Bump: The home stretch guys. If you don't think your vote counts, remember that there are two 9-way ties right now.

507
Cam you even do an oota in that arena?
I think yes because of all the non-IRL tournaments that were recorded until like 2012-2013 and used the BBEANS arena.

My life's complete... All flipper team, unite!
Then I'm gonna guess you are a two-meta man.

508
Looks familiar.

509
hey uh how do i attach images with the new add on, it says invalid attachment

It'll say [invalid] when you use the preview function. But it should work anyways.

510
honestly i feel like i should have seen this coming but i didnt

"Mrs. Kurtsokei" didn't give it away?

511
should I keep my foxy a e s t h e t i c or try out something new?

Well are you a foxy young woman or not, Mrs Kurtsokei?

Idea: DSL was DSL standard.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here comes the hate!

Hot take: It is standard because DSL-IRL is the standard play style in DSL.

Plastic or DSA? I'd try irons because there are no extenders on the tribars that need protection.
DSA :dumb)

Okay :mrgreen:

514
i will enter ironforge of course

But will you enter a BW into the Stock Division?


I mean, you did enter Alter Ego into a MW tournament.

Firstly let me say it’s nice to have a conversation on this forum (about a hot topic) that isn’t an argument for once.

As far as the rules for IRL, I agree that due to the subjective nature of the meta it would be difficult to create rules to maintain entrants. However, apart from a few outsiders I often don't see ultra try-hard bots as the IRL player base seems to be rather self-moderating.
You won’t see that when people start going for the gold on a regular basis. It'll mutate fast, albeit not in a instant. That or all of the combat efficient idea will get banned and so sometimes you won't even be able to send fair versions of those bots, discouraging innovation and new ideas in the process.

As long as you can contain the blatant abuse of OP parts I think having an IRL section of this would be perfectly fine, see GTMCS2's IRL HW division as an example.
That hasn’t been finished yet. That hasn’t even been started yet.

That was due to the lack of IRL options. If there was a IRL choice I certainly believe people will be happy to partake

That a good idea but I think it won't work because nobody wants to cultivate a one-horse show. Having an IRL-wing for everything seems to only ever encourage this. Look at Bajur's International Wars tournament and count the amount of IRL entrants who showed zero interest in anything else. One might say this is justifiable IRL has is greatly diverged from DSL-S or stock. This gap would be used to explain why they are separate. I’d say they don't have any difference when you're building for combat (Ava’s butt-ugly Challenge Belt robots show this). Even if the old traditional styles and DSL-IRL had some unmanageable contrast, that doesn’t matter as people still built in Stock and DSL-S when they had significant differences.

Until DSL-IRL can be properly integrated with Ra2, I don't predict intermingling will be common.

I agree. I personally feel that a more formalised title system that was previously used would've been a better idea. As players were queuing up for that.

That little queue for the DSL-HW title came from ava’s E-Drama and it’s fallout IMO. Said drama is now long gone*.

Besides, a majority of interested users voted against the old system (10 against, 2 for, with 7 in favor of simplification), we'd probably be seeing more of the same. But I’d have multiple titles instead of one. Right now, the best thing to do is propose repairs to this system and test them. If the solutions fail, seek new systems.

Well all this organisation and controversy to have only 3 entries. 2 of which are yourself other the past 2 months. It just seems like it has very little to offer to the community for all the hassle that was put towards it.

The system has been ran in it's current state twice with poor results each time. However, I find it a bad idea to throw the baby out with the bath water.
