I really don't want to create another thread for DSL bots only because I don't forsee myself making a ton of DSL bots. So, I am going to cheat and show my old stock bot in this splash as a comparison! :P
This is my entry for the Replica tournament.
Crabmeat:
Pros: Decent Pusher, Pretty durable, Nice battery life, So-so Rammer...
Cons: No srimech. Once it is flipped over, the match is pretty much over folks! Just like the actual bot. How is that for realism huh? I never quite understood what the actual benefits to the real life design were. From what I have watched on battlebots and youtube... it doesn't put up a very good fight. But hey! I don't really care about winning much, so I wanted to see Crabmeat bounce around and have some fun.
Back Story: I made the original (stock) crabmeat about 2 years ago. I crafted the extenders around the chassis to make it look like a cage. For the DSL version I left the extenders out and focused on the insides so that I could make it somewhat combat effective as a wedge-rammer. If I were to reskin the wheels, it would look pretty close to the real bot.

Not combat effective but a good replica. Tornado wheels would fit better, I think.
The most recent version of Crab Meat that I saw had L-shaped forks on axles, so that when bots went up the forks, they would hit the back and therefore Crab Meat could lift bots with nothing more than their own momentum. I thought it was pretty clever. Tried to do it in RA2, but haven't had much success... maybe you can do better.

yes you could go the generic option, but I think JD was after a similar effect to the original boxer rather then just turning a chassis into a common stock robot.

Heheh. Thanks guys. I like it too... it is just terrible in combat. Joe is right, I could have gone with the obvious uber-damaging weapons, but I wanted to stay true to the roots of the bot and make it a true boxer.

Feast your eyes on my first ever showcased bot from many moons ago.
I was so proud of it... I felt it was innovative and powerful. Needless to say it didn't take long for the vets to tear it apart and peer-pressure me into downloading starcore to step up my game. Ah, how the times never change.

@Naryar. I have no idea why I put a ballast in there... really I don't. We are all noobs in the beginning right? Hahaha.
@Badnik96 Blue Thunder was one of my first bots, but it wasn't the first one in my showcase. I think that one was 3rd or 4th. Built around the same time though. Same with Rustmonster. My other first bots were Blade Runner (Shudder... damn that was a horrible bot... I still have it) and Anklebiter. Suckerpunch was built a short while after that when I got crazy and made all sorts of weird concept bots.
