its chaos 2 stuff (wich is strangly legal) becasue batteries can not be seen in battle
 
it was a full size chassis and once I built everything BFE'd it to be 0.01 height making it basically just the baseplate
 
the only beta parts are the weapon motor and beta's front skirt, everyhing else is normal legal DSL
 
Edit: without the Top Panels

Make it a Tornado Mer like spinner and you would have a small wedged version of Final Destiny. (The original one had small wedges)

only after you said it :P
 
also BFE isnt always required, AAM could do it and is easier if you know your componants section well  ;)
 
I used AAM on Terrorhurtz

Awesome Replicas Thyrus Joe and Zog!  I can't wait to face them in the tournament.

The tourney rekindled my passion for making replicas and I am currently working on a new one this weekend. I hope to post that here later.

Great work guys!

my turn to shine  :mrgreen:
 
(Image removed from quote.)
 
my Terrorhurtz (series 6) replica for UK vs USA, not sure if I should keep the upper armour pieces though
 
(yes that is the testing arena not inside the botlab)
Damn, that's an amazing replica! I love the use of Chaos 2's stuff.
Judging by all the reps I've seen on the UK's side, I'll bet that the UK has a great chance of winning! ^_^

OK, I haven't posted a replica here for a while, but seeing as I've entered the UK vs. US Tournament, and other people are posting Reps here, I thought I'd post my entry here, along with some stats:

It might look somewhat basic, but I don't think it's one to be underestimated. Its flipper is powered by a Judge Burst motor, so it's good for hurling opponents around the arena. Due to its Flipping Arm layout, it can self-right quickly, and is very fast and low to the ground thanks to its drive system.

Here is my Last Rites replica that I have been working on this weekend.

I can't figure out a way to fill up the weight limit on this bot though... the setup is too simple.  If I were to trim it down I could most likely make it a middleweight, but it is a Heavyweight IRL.  I splurged and went with Steel 10 & a few extra batteries.

Combat wise... it can't KO any DSL replica very well.  Usually wins by points.
