BOT OF THE MONTH CONTEST May 08
« on: April 28, 2008, 05:34:34 PM »
Each month we will have a "Bot of the Month" for the home page.
This month only has two more days left so you can submit bots you have already made.
 
RULES:
 
MUST BE DSL BOT with DSL v2.0 parts ONLY...no stock parts not shown in an unmodded version of DSL v2.0.
 
This month will be HW since most people have HW bots already built.
 
Bots must be submitted by posting an 800 x 600 pic here by midnight friday.
Voting will be Saturday and Sunday and the winner announced Monday.
Next month will be LW and more time given for submitting and voting.
 
No AAM, but anything else goes.
 
 
Post your best pic as it will be the one shown on the front page, and it is OK to make a splash of several angles.

Mind if we write a short biography of sorts? xP
Skurge:


Recently rebuilt, Skurge is a lot stronger, has less weaknesses and can cause a heck of a lot more damage. It can now run upside down, leaving it's only weakness (as far as I can tell), vunerability. Note that there's a lot of space unused. I took this into account when I was building it, that it needed to be a certain size in order to be most effective, hence the empty space. I also went up to my weight limit numerous times, so I ended up with a little less power than I'd have liked.
Barring it's crushing defeat in FRA in the first round, where Snowjob took it by surprise and shoved it down the pit, it has always done well in the tournaments it competes in (although not AI ones, even though it has been AIed. Anyone made a DSL AI tournament?)

Second bot to enter!

For the sake of vertical spinners...

Proud to present Iron Mayhem DSL!



A distant offspring from the first bot build by me several months ago to enter Starcore 1 and which is in the first page of my showcase. The closest relative is Iron Mayhem 5.

Definitely a killer in soul, he is extremely damaging, and a good front defense too. Good speed for a spinner (although, sometimes betrays him)

Weight: 796,0
Power: Two orange batts and two battlepacks
Drive: Two Vladiator wheels on fast NPC64's
Armor: 3mm Titanium
Weapons: Eight iron spikes on 100cm discs, powered by MagSnapper-bursted Eteks

He has stock-style wedges (small wedges on burst motors) which work way better than DSL type skirts.

Unfortunately he falls often on it's sides but I think this is easy to fix. He has a rear srimech with the mag snappers.

If someone wants more detailed pictures, just ask.

Huh. Well that was a good "fight" CUDA. But i'm heavyweight and vertical spinner specialist...

Well im not that good at LWs so perhaps you will win the next...
If no better builder registers for next one.

Are you just jealous or too drunk ? lol, jk.

Since we are looking to pull over the Stock RA2 activities to GTM as well, I would suggest doing a Bot of the Month for Stock RA2 bots as well. I would love to submit bots like Warmachine and the newly updated and destructively elegant Borg Queen.

Yep. If he enters, we're all six feet under... Heh. Perhaps he suggested that on purpose...

It is effectively a good idea Starcore.

And that is fine. We need to stimulate DSL construction and help people find all the goodness that has been wedged inside.
