Alright.

Well back to that AI thing. If you are enough quick you get out of the mayhem but when you start all AI bots are aiming to you.

Could you make it so that they randomly pick someone to who attack to.

Nifty, and frankly more accurate anyhow. I have not used the FB pack so I don't know anything about a limited spin motor. How much damage does it actually cause? Will we be seeing this used in other hammer bots (Overkill, Judge, Killer/Terror/Beta Hurtz, Diesector, etc.) ?

The motor has enough power to swing just about any weapon with good speed, so damage is only slightly less than it would be with a burst motor.

As for other bots using it, you might just see one... this Friday :wink:

I'm betting it's the new Jackpot.

EDIT: Is Dark Rat even aware of this?

The day this actually finnishes, it will be a miracle and this pack will own. I have to admit that I don't use DSL anymore, it never did interest me too much. But now that I see that you are improving the original stock bots, I am much more exited to play.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #64 on:** September 09, 2005, 12:29:25 PM »

Yeah, it will seem like a miracle when this gets done since it's been so long in the making. But it's honestly almost to the beta testing stage now.

And since it's Friday, here is another bot that uses the 180 degree spin motor to power a hammer.

Beta is a heavyweight bot you'll be fighting against in 2.0. It's a very tough opponent if you have no way of getting under it.

And here's the picture I based the replica off of.

That's it. I'm re-installing for this one.

Dragon Ninja · « **Reply #66 on:** September 09, 2005, 02:30:18 PM »

That's amazing. So will there be a few more British bots in DSL:TC 2.0?

house_Fly · « **Reply #67 on:** September 09, 2005, 04:30:55 PM »

so is this the brithish terrorhurtz? it looks awsome i like the transusent parts on it makes it look really good
great job dsl team

Dragon Ninja · « **Reply #68 on:** September 09, 2005, 04:55:24 PM »

No. This is Beta, made by the people who made Terrorhurtz for RW(who are British). Beta was made for BB, but broke down or something.

Nice replica.

Question: If you take out some of the current AI bots, will we still be able to use the old ones in the team HQ?

ACAMS · « **Reply #70 on:** September 10, 2005, 02:49:42 PM »

None of the old ones will be taken out, new teams will be added.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #71 on:** September 16, 2005, 11:20:02 AM »

With DSL 2.0 closer than ever to completion, you'll now get to see an entire team of the new AI instead of just one bot! This week is BLACK STORM.

LW: BOT-205 It may not look like a very tough opponent with only a single large saw blade, but looks can be deceiving. BOT-205 is a fast, dangerous wedge/vertical spinner combo that will be under and cutting up your bottom before you know it.

MW: Devil II A very fast, heavily armored wedge bot with a row of spikes at the top to impale its victims' undersides. The spring-loaded spikes can also flip opponents on occasion.

HW: Industrial Coal Miner You might call IDC the Rabid Pit Bull of DSL. Fast drive, good armor, and 3 spinning discs arranged in a traditional digging tool pattern will make short work of its opponents.

Pointless_Robotics · « **Reply #72 on:** September 16, 2005, 09:34:41 PM »

Cool. It would be neat if you could skin those armor plates so the robots would look nicer, but good job overall. Can't wait till' the release!

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #73 on:** September 23, 2005, 07:37:56 PM »

It's late, but it's still Friday!

This is the current version of M.O.E. that will be replacing the older version in DSL v1. A few people might have seen me post this in an old thread on the official forums a while back, but nobody has yet seen it skinned and with the belt guard on top.

M.O.E. is an extremely tough opponent, much tougher than most of the stock AI. It's like the uberchallenge bot where if you can beat it, your bot is instantly recognized as pro material. Yet, fortunately, it's not cheat-type or invincible like the AU Battlebots. It is actually much LESS powerful than it should be for its weight, and the chassis is perfectly exposed (if you can reach it).

Here is a photo of the real bot. I know the stickers on the blade are missing, but that blade is pretty much impossible to skin accurately because there is so much distortion. If I find I have extra time to put finishing touches on DSL though I will attempt to fix that.

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST REPLICA HERE!!!

sorry for caps but seriously it's the best I saw... and I'm now back with gaming on DSL!

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #75 on:** October 02, 2005, 12:42:51 PM »

Sorry for late post. I had to go on a 2-day field trip for one of my classes and I forgot to tell FB to post Team SPARK here.

Well anyway here they are:

LW - BROKE!: You could always get the jackpot against Team SPARK's old bot. Against their new one, you'll probably get BROKE! :P

MW - The Boxer Returns: This bot is a very specialized design. It doesn't stand a chance against some bots, but against others it is a sure knockout.

HW - CRITICAL EMERGENCY: Everyone's favorite stock AI heavyweight is back for more utter domination of the arena! It flips higher, drives faster, kills faster, and is more annoying than before. CE will flip you and have you gored on its spikes before you know it.

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #76 on:** October 02, 2005, 01:29:19 PM »

Umm...

Boxer's fists are wrong way. Now it keeps it's fists upside down.

:lol: Do you box keeping your hands upside down?

Pointless_Robotics · « **Reply #77 on:** October 02, 2005, 04:33:11 PM »

I like the new Boxer and Emergency. I wonder what kind of insane burst motors are powering those flippers on CE.

Firebeetle · « **Reply #78 on:** October 05, 2005, 04:42:05 PM »

Mag snappers. By the way, the next sneak peek coming is going to be a fun one!
