Those two upgraded bots look great. I also have a similar bot I've wanted to enter but that tourney it was for never got off the ground...

Psycho style, I like your thinking. No idea what Nar's trying to say. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

Won't that give it AGOD though? I hope that actually doesn't.

It bounces through components when it springs back but come on, give me that much. :P

Yeaaah shake it!

Hahahah...
A few component clashes in the import over from DSL to RW RA2 but this is the size of the thing compared to Behemoth, which itself is massive.

(Got some crazy collision mesh issue holding the back slightly off the ground too but you get the idea)

and i thought the first one was already the pinnacle of building insanity, but i guess you just proved me wrong, and that face is just too ******* awesome

Jaws aren't on a burst, 0/10

(J/K, I bloody well love it)

Domanating would be proud.

Sorry for all the white space. Awkward photo sizes.

I really wish DSL Tread motors were more powerful, neither this or Nemesis can move to be honest.
And, for the first time ever, I want to say I wish Judge Bursts were more powerful. But that's because I overloaded the 1 this HW has.

Note: I have edited the tread motors .txt on my game to be as powerful as a regular npc, but I tested in a clean copy and wow, soooo sloooow.

duuuuuuuuuude

I'm not convinced. It's a bit messy.

cephalopod · « **Reply #990 on:** May 18, 2015, 01:16:12 PM »

Where? Allow me to clean it. :P

Thyrus · « **Reply #991 on:** May 18, 2015, 02:05:17 PM »

looks like its from how to train a dragon or how it is called

Lemonism · « **Reply #992 on:** May 18, 2015, 03:08:29 PM »

Love how smoothly the flippermakers at the front and back fit, and the chassis shape + overall design.

As far as cleaning it up goes, I would remove the lightning spikes on the underside of the flipper, and the middle flipper arm. Otherwise I think it's pretty clean, and I really like the robot.

RedAce · « **Reply #993 on:** May 18, 2015, 03:44:32 PM »

At least it looks cool despite it moving slower than a tank.

cephalopod · « **Reply #994 on:** May 18, 2015, 04:02:44 PM »

With edited drive motors it's a lot of fun to drive.

Without the middle bar, by the way, it looks weird and unsupported. Because the 2 bars on top have different AP orientation (because of the burst) it's very hard to brace it.

Oh and just for fun, as per usual (not claiming this is good or useful), CRAZY SAW VERSION

Naryar · « **Reply #995 on:** May 18, 2015, 05:39:57 PM »

I think i'm not convinced by the design, in fact. It's eyes doesn't look very convincing, unlike your other designs.

I have to agree with Nary, the eyes do turn me off. The design is pretty cool, actually. (might want to "try it out" for myself

)

I like the eyes, they add a sort of biomechanic feel to the usually organic personalities I give robots. Plus it'd be hard to give it more animated eyes with components unless I used the old 'Dizzy' Vlad wheels.
I don't think it looks messy and I actually really like the Lightning spikes under the flipper because they're almost tusk-like.
So yeah, for once, I'm basically ignoring what you're all saying :P

Good luck trying it out. Took me forever to line all the stuff up and get the chassis the right size. Mainly the height/location of the tread motors and the bottom plate.

Yeah, I can see that. (BTW, I meant that the eyes are just funny looking to me. I feel it should be something else or something (idk...))
Still... neat design man. Was it inspired from another robot by any chance?

Yes. See my Ironforge showcase. :P
