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'...

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.

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 :)

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.

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