Well, I've been dragged out of my house on my face to do this, so here goes.

Be aware, I don't do anything good, decent or useable.

Really, these wouldn't even win N00bwarz, I assure you.

No, really, I'm really that bad.

And I think I melted tinypic.
Maybe.

Anyway, here we go...

This is HeavyAxeSwingerDudeThing, my first (very pathetic) bot. It's been replaced by OddTriangulationMoment.

This is KillerSpike, my second heap of trash. It's been replaced by MemeGoneWrong.

This is OddTriangulationMoment.

I have also created one called MemeGoneWrong and one called PinCushion. I am working on one called DisastrousPersona.

I have a flaming shield too, just in case *holds powerrave in front of self like shield*

on HASDT, why is one of the wheels angled? These actually aren't bad, but they need less chassis space and front armor.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #2 on:** June 16, 2010, 02:53:41 PM »

No idea.

HASDT is dead anyway. It no longer exists

Sage · « **Reply #3 on:** June 16, 2010, 02:54:22 PM »

Well, umm, at least you know which wheels to use!

NFX · « **Reply #4 on:** June 16, 2010, 03:00:40 PM »

Also OTM is built to the weight limit. Ish. =P

But try and make the chassis as small as possible around the stuff in it. That's be the first thing to do.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #5 on:** June 16, 2010, 03:02:32 PM »

I did say at the beginning that they're heaps of utter cr*p

OHNOES! *crawls back in its briefcase*

but yeah, smaller chassis to start with. in case you people wonder, her bots do have DSA =]

Somebody · « **Reply #7 on:** June 16, 2010, 08:08:17 PM »

OK... Limit open space, always use DSA, and build some more bots. And export them, to save them to update after following our advice.

Somehow I highly doubt that.

stop doubting what others say. overall, people here are serious in showcases.

OTM is nice, but needs less wasted space (it all takes up weight). i think the pistons aren't needed really, maybe replace the piston and air tank with a ramplate mounted on the baseplate anchor... or a plow in that way. just am idea.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #14 on:** February 04, 2011, 02:13:42 PM »

*Japanese accent* Yo~

So, I thrashed Team SPARK's EMERGENCY with this (no idea how exactly I managed it, but it got Destroyed PRETTY quickly), so I decided I MIGHT as well put it up...

Introducing to you all, for one night only... An SnS/Poker hybrid... Spiky the Rustbucket! *dun dun DUN!*

Here's a picture of its Components, the rest can be found in the album (to save space)

Here's the album~!

Opinions please

You've certainly improved since the last showings.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 04, 2011, 02:17:14 PM »

I'm looking at your sig, I want to punch you.

NFX · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2011, 02:17:59 PM »

Doesn't help, Sparkey.

Initially, it doesn't look too bad. I'm wondering if Slim wheels are slightly too big for this one. If the chassis's lowered, you should be able to get Shinies on. Also, with the somewhat erratic weapon layout, it looks slightly unbalanced when it spins. If you have just the one piston on either side, and an even distribution of weapons (use baseplate anchors instead of axle mounts, you save a LOT of weight), I reckon you'll have a decent Trinity spinner there. Spin as fast as you can, then fire the pistons. You don't even need a CO2 Canister for it. =) But you're definitely improved, as GK said.

Scourge of teh Galaxy · « **Reply #18 on:** February 04, 2011, 02:21:35 PM »

Thanks GK

D'you reckon it'd be worthy of n00bwarz, or do I still need to work on it?

@Spalky: You HAVE been hinting that you dun like me because I dun make bots. So I made one.

Anyway, if you don't have anything constructive to say, please leave

@NFX: Thanks for the advice ^^

I tried having it lower, but then I couldn't get the controls on top of the battery.
And the weapon placement is reminiscent of an "OCR*P" moment - like "OCR*PIHAVESPACELEFTLET'SFILLITWITHSPIKES" *nods*

NFX · « **Reply #19 on:** February 04, 2011, 02:24:57 PM »

That's a bit strange, because you need the chassis 5 "clicks" high on the slider bar to fit HP Z-Teks in there, and only 2 clicks to get the CB on top of a Blackvolt.

I'd also recommend watching Sage's five tutorial videos. They do help a lot with moving your building forward. =)
