Hi there!
This is my first DSL TC robot showcase. Feel free to leave comments!

Three bots in one Month:

11 ants 3 battlepacks. for maximum flipper power

same as Plow-Batt. only the Beta Geared and a DSL Hammer 4

6 ants 2 NPCs Perm 80 S large beater bars and light DS tooth for underside ripping.

Just cleaning up your showcase.

Anyways you obviously lurked and that's a good thing. That's very solid building for a newcomer, actually far better than some people are building after a few months here... *cough*

#1 is OK, although a bit messy. Make a simpler flipper, you need much more batteries as well and maybe less armor.

#2 is good, but there are some slightly unefficient parts. Try to save weight on your extender work. The ramplates and wheel protectors are mostly useless. As the robot X caster as well.

#3 is your best bot so far and I must say pretty good, although try and build realistic next time => we don't like weapons going through motors like it is tolerated in stock. Maybe your armor could be made better.

I must say I am impressed. If you start like this, you may become one of the good builders quickly.

only the Beta Geared

thats the spin motor one right ? the one limited to 180 degrees ? cuz you only need 1-2 ants for those

and for the 3rd one use the other side of the perm so it's realistic

OK Gut Ripper looks pwnsome. I don't really like the flipper's setup though, it could be less messy.

A really good start. Just listen to Naryar and you'll be fine.

Just an experiment bot cause I miss robotwars and the house robots.

same as Sergeant Bash's weaponry 360 degree turret w/ flamethrower. only the saw in front was differnt.
3 puma co2 meds low power dsl servo and a piglet for the saw.

Gropaga · « **Reply #7 on:** May 12, 2012, 03:23:31 AM »

just make it a clamp

Nice! I Like the 360 flame turret.

12yearOldPwner · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2012, 05:15:23 AM »

UPDATE!
better weapons and clamp added. 360 degree turret is unchanged.

2 cheatbot components: Razer Claw snapper & stock flamethrower.

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** May 12, 2012, 05:22:58 AM »

You may want to use the stock cheatbot2 flamethrower for it...

12yearOldPwner · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2012, 05:26:01 AM »

I used the BFFF in my previous version but anyways its just for fun.

just wanna see it to be a house robot

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2012, 05:50:32 AM »

That is awesome as

man.

12yearOldPwner · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2012, 07:15:54 AM »

thanks I updated it

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:09:43 AM »

Needs a bigger chassis and external wheels.

MassimoV · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2012, 06:24:20 PM »

Bash never had a wedge, and is there a saw in the back? Seems pretty good right now though.

Bash never had a wedge

well it had a small crusher on the front but it most certainly wasnt a metal hinge, i think it *might* be better with a static hworf spike as a wedge and one sir k claw instead of 2

Gropaga · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2012, 07:56:11 PM »

Glad to see you trying to make a replica of sgt bash.
(there is matilda and growler and sir killalot in dsl and nfx made shunt)

NFX · « **Reply #18 on:** May 12, 2012, 08:01:16 PM »

I also made Dead Metal.

Sergeant Bash is one of the tricker reps to make look appealing, in my view, more or less entirely due to the chassis shape. The rest of it, though, shouldn't really be too difficult, as opposed to bots like Shunt and Dead Metal, which have a lot of extraneous components and assorted theatricals. As long as you can get the chassis to look decent, you should be alright with it, as long as you know which components to use.

Also, the saw on the back was only there for the first two series, along with a ramming spike thing on the front. From series 3 onwards, the cutting/crushing jaws replaced the spike, and the petrol-driven sawblade was swapped for a purely aesthetic, static one.

I will try to maximize the chassis and the drivetrain ASAP.

also another DSL bot.
