So I was twiddling around, trying to bolster SF's drive, and somehow I did this.



Not only did I upgrade to NPC drive, but I also put an extra ant battery in there!  Most of the extra weight came from using lighter wheels.

SF still lacks enough armor to survive against strong HS's long enough to get in some good flail hits.  But it can at least shove them around good now, and sometimes flip them.  Its turn speed is also improved, making it slightly more effective against fast wedges.

I'll be using this update for BBEANS.

Here's a new bot based on a design that's extremely generic in real life, but pretty rare in RA2.



Betcha can't guess what real life bot this is based off of.  (I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "Tombsbone" :mrgreen: )

Unlike its inspiration, though, Epitaph is designed with a balance of offense and defense in mind (besides being designed ultrarealistic).  The weapon is powerful enough to KO most opponents after a minute or so, yet with 3mm Al armor and those mini saw blades protecting the wheels, it can also take a beating and keep on fighting.  The saw blades can even serve as weapons in a pinch (they've saved me more than a couple times).

The main reason I like Epitaph, though, is just the way it looks.  It looks like something you could actually build in real life down to the last detail.

I dont even know why but I really like that bot. I guess it might be how realistic it is.

I love it, probably one of the best looking bots I've ever seen in DSL. It looks incredibly realistic, even if it isn't.


For once the mods did something right

I never thought a simple 20 to 40 DSL bar  on a Magmotor was that powerful...

...or perhaps it's that because you put 20000 efficiency to all weapons in DSL 2.1.

When I saw the bot's name, I thought "Tombstone" immerdiatly.

Well Tombstone has a totally straight bar, no?

The 20 to 40 segments have 300 DP and 2000 HP, same as an iron spike.  And there's two of them stacked on each end, if you look closely (not stacked as in overlapping, stacked as in on top of each other).  The straight bars have more HP but are considerably less powerful, one reason why I went with the angled version.

Meanwhile here's another new bot.



Okay, I admit it... Anathema is, shall we say, "inspired by" H@zm47's Interventionism 2.0 and infiniteinertia's Sigma.  The main difference here is that I wanted to make an Interventionism-type bot with a long enough blade so it could hit stuff without needing to get under it first, like Final Destiny.  I also wanted to make it fast, so that when it does get under bots it can push them around, and it can also back off quickly to get time to spin up.

Anathema succeeds with both of those goals.  The blade is big enough to reach beyond the skirts, but when it comes down to it Anathema also makes a good pusher.  The combination of a powerful weapon, powerful drive, wedges, very high stability, and self-righting makes it "anathema" to most bot designs.  It's good against wedges, HS's, VS's, hammers, and a few other odd designs.  The only types it really has a lot of trouble with are popups, drums, Hazardous Contraptions, and well-protected bots like BrasOuvert (ultimately I lost that fight in the pic, but not without causing a lot of damage first).

The main advantage with this bot is the size of the blade--it's so long, it always seems to sneak in hits on weak spots when you don't think it should.  That and the drive and stability.

No, popups are one design it can't handle.  It can't beat Hazardous Contraption or Red Tide VI either.  But it can at least put up a good fight against any other bot.

Your bot name is Enfilade?  I thought it was Enfilad-3.  Like theres an Enfilad1 and Enfilad2.
