Drillzilla in Robot Arena 2?
« on: March 09, 2015, 01:41:16 PM »
Recently seen Drillzilla in action, gotta say, one mean looking machine. Even Razer could not pierce through it!

But to come to the point, does Drillzilla exist for Robot Arena 2? :smile:
Best Regards,

Yup (well, it's not on the fresh copy of DSL if that's what you meant), watch him in action:

That's Sonny's.
I also made a replica of it but not as good.

Hey, thanks for your friendly replies guys :mrgreen:

Is there anyway I can download Drillzilla? With all DSL's and all that, I'm not sure where to go next... Or build it myself in-game?
Best Regards,

if you're interested, the team that built drillzilla also competed at robotica:

I should forewarn you, no one's made a drillzilla replica that "shuffles" like the real one, mine just has really small wheels that exploit the imprecise collision meshes to make it appear to be shuffling.

I see. Do you think it would be possible for me to make this robot shuffle, like the real one? I assume shufflebots have never debuted in Robot Arena 2 (Design & Destroy). Think I should fire up old 3ds Max and get modeling :smile:

It would be possible if there was a motor that spun in an elliptical pattern - no clue if that's actually possible.

I see. Maybe I'll fire up 3ds Max give Drillzilla a go...

if it is a single drill, i also assume it will be kinda weak combat-wise.

In RA2, yes. IRL, the thing was an astounding pusher and nearly won the second world championships of robot wars. Shame Razer got to it.

Not necessarily... that drill plus those two jaws at the front. Now Drillzilla had at least, in my opinion, better weaponry than Razer.

The drill was just a gimmick to give it personality.  The real weapon was its brute force - it weighed 1.5x as much as its opponents, and its walking mechanism was almost as efficient as normal wheels - in theory walkerbots have compromised mobility, but Drillzilla was almost as efficient as a wheeled bot.
