I will no longer build IRL

OK, that's your choice

and you people can just deal with it.

no need to be a dick about it, though.

The weapon does go through the motor so it is not IRL. I will no longer build IRL and you people can just deal with it.

This is of course fine, however you may wish to note that even the DSL-Standard building style does not allow components to cut through other components, so unless someone runs a pure Stock-style unrealistic tournament in DSL (very unlikely), your designs will never see tournament action, and if you showcase them, not many people will have any input (in terms of praise or suggestions) because Unrealistic DSL isn't something that people really do.

Yeah. It's fine to build DSL unrealistic if the result is bad-ass, but DSL unrealistic tournaments are even rarer than Starcore posts. And that's a whole level of rare.

I'm sure we'll be fine. There's a dozen other IRL showcases.

Now that is rare!

Nice bump, Starcore.

My computer took a dump and I just lost everything on it. I turned it back on and it had somehow erased my hard drive!

Yeah, mine used to do that when I was your age too... Still does on occasion. Especially if there's cops at my door serving a search warrant. WINK WINK

Doge Robotics · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2015, 09:17:10 PM »

Sorry about the outburst. I actually built some IRL.

Little Shredder. Aluminum 5.

Krash. Titanium 5.

Big Shredder. Steel 10. About 12 ants.

Karnage. Steel 10.
These are for Battlebots 11 which Mass said he would be doing sometime around December.

most of your bots don't need that much batteries to work. also work on smaller chassis.

i have no idea what you are doing with multiextenders on the lw. is it stabilizers ? use metal sheets instead of multiextenders.

no really don't use outside multiextenders, they are very fragile and vulnerable. Besides they're somewhat ugly mixed up with flippermakers.

drum motors are extremely exposed, put them inside/use perm 80's inside the chassis/use eteks. also don't use steel 10.

Karnage needs more drive, or grippier wheels such as techno destructo's.

not real advice but please try to come up with more original names

Scorpion · « **Reply #32 on:** November 07, 2015, 07:17:25 AM »

Chill out on the batteries Dawg, you only need an ant per spin motor (you need more for burst motors however, they actually scale in terms of power usage and strength).
Technos and hypnos, and to a lesser degree Vlads and minis on smaller bots, are where its at when it comes to wheels in DSL.
Keep working on simplifying your extender work and your bots will keep getting better, leaves more weight for the good stuff a.k.a razorz.

Doge Robotics · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2015, 07:07:39 PM »

Fully rebuilt every robot.(I am very bad at coming up with names!)

Krash. 6 ants. Titanium 3.

Flipsy. 8 ants. Titanium 5. Judge Burst.

Dozer. 6 ants. Titanium 10.

Propeller Head XL. Titanium 10.
Hopefully these are all still IRL.

anybody see my bots?

Doge Robotics · « **Reply #35 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:09:44 PM »

4 long blacks, 8 battlepacks & 15 ants. Aluminum 5.

6 long blacks, 8 battlepacks, & 1 ant. Plastic 10.

Pwnator · « **Reply #36 on:** September 15, 2016, 12:42:00 AM »

ayt the rear assembly on the first one is badass

I would probably prefer the tread wedges on the IRL version to be covered and aligned with the flipper, and you have the weight to do so since you're using Pl 10 anyway.

Not quite sure if the top flipper's doing anything, though.

Doge Robotics · « **Reply #37 on:** September 15, 2016, 01:08:26 AM »

The ones on top are shrimechs.

Also, if I cover the wedges, the covers will intersect with the tracks.

Doge Robotics · « **Reply #38 on:** November 22, 2016, 08:39:50 PM »

Batteries:
-2 large orange
-4 long blacks
Drive:
-2 tracks, each driven by a locked E-tek
Armor:
-10 millimeter Plastic
Also, this is my first showcased robot built with dragonsteincole's IRL Components Pack and Component Freedom.

Looks pretty cool, although I really don't think this needs to be a SHW...
