Fun fact: I believe George Francis made that.

DSL Components make the motor protection on Ice Wave style bots very difficult.

It's still pretty cool even if it's a bit generic . Maybe try with the chassis as the engine and the components for the base? It's even harder, but maybe you can use more that way.

Gave it a shot. Totally illegal BFE hax everywhere.

Even the batteries are in the 'chassis' below the bar. Unfortunately, as they're all 'attached to baseplate'...

lololol that's great

Giving the LW Barber-ous style bot a shot again. I think it went pretty well.

Drive on astros, drum on piglet, chassis stays static and the back supports connect to that. you get the jist.

RedAce · « **Reply #1008 on:** November 07, 2015, 09:58:10 AM »

I like it.

Is it LW or MW?

Edit: I can't read :/

It's a nice looking thing, shame the weapons suck.

Yeah, I had contemplated other stuff but this thing needs teeth to look legit (beaters look wrong, too ra2) and everything else is too big.

This really was a throwback.

Not battle tested (or skinned) but it's basically the same as every other HW VS I've ever built so eh.

Looks pretty good, for about a 2 1/2-ish month old VS. It might go far assuming it doesn't get screwed over by the arena.

Actually edited a whole bunch of stuff on it today to make it just that little more effective :)

does it flop forwards/back much

Naryar · « **Reply #1015 on:** December 30, 2015, 01:07:51 PM »

i bet it's unstable and it will spend it's time spikeballing all around

although i think throwback throwdown is in the bbeans2 arena or something open so spikeball mode isnt much of a problem.

cephalopod · « **Reply #1016 on:** December 30, 2015, 01:08:55 PM »

It seems pretty stable in most cases, rights itself reasonably quickly if thrown over too. Super super wide so that's not a problem.

Claiming first DSL2.2 replica/reskinned parts bot.
I had to give it a go...

And non reskinned version :P

Backdrop is the best new component

Merrick · « **Reply #1018 on:** January 11, 2016, 04:05:51 PM »

YES. Baller.

Crasp Drone v2.2 next up?

cephalopod · « **Reply #1019 on:** January 11, 2016, 04:12:22 PM »

Ahah, I'll give it a shot sometime :P

Fun Fact: For a little realism, the front wedge on that replica is titanium. :D
