Finally, I'm actually here for a DSL BotM. Too bad I can't build a MW to save my life.
 
Edit: 600 posts? How the Hell did that happen?

I liked last Novembers BOTM were a particular part had to be used a particular number of times over weapon specific..

but still this will be interesting.. off to discover something new to make :P

Edit: wait.. it says all building glitches allowed and nothing about the realistic rule ??? is that a mistake ?

I just had an awesome idea.

The bot is done since long, just must make a correct splash...

Water you complaining about?  Can't you just build a lightweight and then give it ballasts or Steel-10 armour?

Ironically, the way I've taken to MWs recently is to take a LW then just improve bits XD

Oh yeah, 'CAMS. You might want to edit rule #5 since you can directly upload splashes now instead of compressing them. :D

Post by: JoeBlo on March 19, 2010, 04:53:15 AM
I have a robot but I dont know.. I dont want to loose to something unrealistic if they are allowed but at the same time don't want to build something unrealistic and have the controversy of DBA

Mine is realistic.  I figured it's like posting bots in the DSL showcase.  You CAN make something unrealistic, but you won't get a lot of respect for it (unless it's something really special).
Title: Re: BOTM April 2010
Post by: System32 on March 19, 2010, 07:38:11 PM
I'm doing this, I think...
 
Bah, DSL no rules looks fun to me!

I guess so... I just remember last time I exploited the "AI parts allowed" in a DSL BOTM a while back, was controversial

I would do this if I knew how to make splash's.

I downloaded them at midnight last night, but fell asleep before I could put the vote up......I have been at work in my truck, no trailer house and very little sleep since Tuesday.(sleeping 3 nights in a P/U truck is not fun!
