How long does it take to load these behemoths? My guess is two-three minutes.

If I load 4 into a fight together, half the time it'll be roughly 3 minutes loading time or it'll be 2 minutes loading followed by a game crash lol!

DSC has released an updated version of the amazing extender pack, so I took the opportunity to swap my Brutus from brown to the new gold colour.
Oh! And here's a Blacksmith clone too...

They both look amazing but Blacksmith's hammer is missing the spikes. Also I cant tell if the hammer face is black or not

Ohh you're right I completely forgot about the little spikes! Its hard to tell but there are 4 black 10° angle pieces facing inwards in a cross around the centre but it could do with more detail.

AKA I wanted to build a Raging Scotsman style rammer, then came up with a bad pun and rolled with it.

Choo choo!

Looks amazing.
Are you going to do all the bb 2015/16  bots? If so you have to do a rerun of the seasons and tell us who won  ;)

when i started playing with extenders tonight i was thinking about how much you could do with them as far as custom spinners now that you can intersect stuff nowadays and that nightmare blade is beyond anything i had even begun to imagine. its just beyond anything i could fathom. amazing :popcorn

So whilst building my way through the various Battlebots competitors I have this annoying habit of starting a bot, getting irritated by something minor, and then leaving it sat there like an unfinished stain in my team selection screen. The 4 mentioned below are 4 unfinished bots that I just can't seem to get right, if anybody has any suggestions or notices anything wrong with them I'd hugely appreciate the feedback!  :heart_smiley:


(Top Left: Stinger)
(Top Right: Skorpios Saw Blaze)
(Lower Left: Chrome Fly)
(Lower Right: Moebius)

Someone asked a while back how long it takes to load these extender heavy replicas in game, and I can safely say the load time for Moebius is about 3 times longer than all the others... it's almost entirely made out of 45 degree angle pieces.

Whoops I was hoping no one would realise how big it actually was... It's 250cm wide (going by extenders pieces) length ways it's roughly about 360/400cm.

Carrying on from the last giant spider themed bot, I've built a spider bot that actually fits under the 800.0kg heavyweight limit for a change.
Allow me to introduce Web Spinner, a symmetrical semi-spider themed overhead spinner that I wanted to be an asymmetrical spiderbody shape but gave up getting it to balance properly/within the weight limit. So instead we have what looks kind of like an upside down spider and a starfish had a freaky mutant offspring baby.

- Web Spinner (HW) & Terror Form (SHW)

Very nice. Are you planning on entering any IRL tournaments? Your bots would make a great addition to any tournament I'm sure.

Oh thanks man, would these even count as IRL though? I'm not 100% sure what the rulings are for these kind of things. Completely off topic Badger but I've just now realised the badger in your avatar isn't wearing a hard hat like I'd previously thought... :/
