Hey guys (and girls if there is any), Still new here. Thought i would showcase some of my robot designs. A majority of my builds are IRL though so dont expect anything to outrageous

First bot for display, Grownder

Looks nice,is that the new DSL 3 disc there?

Camaro Kid · « **Reply #2 on:** April 28, 2013, 04:52:33 AM »

I believe so. I am running with the DSL 3 Beta

Hmm, remove the Stock motherboard, make the chassis slightly smaller, replace the Slimbodies with NPC T64s, make it invertable and then you're good to go. What is its current weight and armor?

dude this is advice. and Alex is right about what he suggested. Also it seems the saw is cutting through the motor. try to use one with a longer belt.

I men't that as I see Alex took over for me,I know it was advice.I'm not as dumb like Virus and Ian are letting on.

(user was warned for this post)

320.1kg with Titanium armour. I see what you mean with the chain. And ill try it with the changes suggested

you could use twrm/2twrm's for drive if you dont have enough space (make sure you select the drive versions ofc)

you could probably use 1 long black battery for this if you wanted, they're better than the battlebacks so you'd only really need one

Yeah you have plenty of weight to fit thicker armor on there, aswell as more batteries. With the changes, try and make the bot weigh between 390 and 398kg.

Nice and simplistic. If you fix the realism issues, that is actually a pretty cool first bot.

You must have installed DSL3 wrong if you still have the stock control board...

Probably Rob · « **Reply #12 on:** April 28, 2013, 10:39:29 AM »

Maybe he put the component in his folder, etc.?

Mr. AS · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2013, 10:47:07 AM »

grownder looks alright for a first bot i suppose, you could put 3 ant batteries + a legal control board at the back, get a longer perm and move that backwards too.

Camaro Kid · « **Reply #14 on:** May 31, 2013, 05:57:17 AM »

Geez, its been a while since I posted here. But I got 2 updated Grownders and a new bot

Grownder Update 1:

Grownder Update 2 (Plan on using it for BB7)

Kill Steen Kill

Kill Steen Kill is like my equivelent of Tornado, entered it HoriZon with Spikes. And now it has a Flipper!

You need a lot more defense on all of these, wheelguards especially. What are the current weight measurements of these robots?

All of them are middleweights. Kill Steen Kill and Grownder 2 are gonna be Tournament entries and both are near 400kg (Steen is 396 and Grownder 2 is 397). Hence why no wheel guards.

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 31, 2013, 09:09:30 AM »

Well, what is the armor? You don't really need anything tougher than Ti3.

MassimoV · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2013, 11:50:32 AM »

Can't enter into BB7 because those are DSL3.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 31, 2013, 12:09:33 PM »

Yeah that's what I was gonna say. I like KSK for some reason.
