your bots look so wacky and different, also live and let die and varangian look dope

Aesthetics is as much as a key factor as accessibility, functionality, and practicality. A design can be efficient but boring to look at, and some designs can look flashy but not work properly at all - the balance between all four areas is very fine but as long as you can get 2/4 or 3/4 of the lot you're often fine.

Live and Let Die now lives a happier life as Jadehammer.

I really like how leapfrogger looks. I think it’d be kinda cool to have the top of it work as a rear-hinged flipper.

I think the interior spacing could allow such a thing if I was able to double-up with the front flipper, but weight might be an issue.

Nessuno può sfuggire dal destino scelto. Rimane solo il risultato che voi sarete distrutti. L’eterna cima esiste solo per me. Puoi cantare canzoni di tristezza nel mondo senza tempo.

King Crimson is a .bot which... just works. Works off a 4-wheel drive and a flywheel undercutter disc with interchangable teeth (bludgeoners and cutters) with spikes to keep it on its wheels. I couldn't decide on a colour scheme so there's three of them I can switch between.

Soft & Wet is a .bot with raised edges and is reminiscent in shape of Blacksmith from Battlebots. Armed with a fist for downward smacking (even though it'd be more fitting to have a shovel in place of the hand), this .bot is sure to plunder success from anything it encounters (unless it's a flipper, or a spinner, or a walker, or a fruit smuggler, or another robot)

Some more JoJo related .bots? Don't mind if I do! (I think I enjoy making the skins more than the actual .bot interiors)

Cinderella / Doggy Style / Killer Queen / Tusk Act 1 & Vitamin C

Cinderella is a 4-wheeled .bot with an actuated axe weapon on the front. It's quite a maneuverable .bot and can self-right easily. It's not particularly withstanding when it comes to spinners, but it'll survive a few good hits. When I was designing the basic shape the original version didn't have a rear wedge, but when playtesting the design/setup the back wheels kept getting torn off. The back wedge might be a bit cumbersome but if it protects the wheels I think it's worth it.

c.png


Doggy Style is a refitted Goldfinger from earlier in the thread. While the front section doesn't look especially fantastic, the fenders/prongs allow for protection against spinners and ramming weapons (for as long as they stay attached). While the main power for movement comes from the tracks, a set of normal wheels/motors have been put inside to allow for faster movement.

ds.png


Killer Queen was initially designed as an axebot similar to Vitamin C but I didn't like the way it looked. Its lifter arm isn't exactly superb but it certainly gets under other .bots easily enough and can just about self-right properly. The original idea for this chassis was for a .bot called "Cougar" but I didn't really like the design idea (hence the whiskers that I forgot to remove for Killer Queen)

kq.png


Tusk: Act 1 has a strange balancing trick for the blades, but I think that fits with the specifications of Tusk: Act 1 itself considering that it revolves around finger and toenails being fired like projectiles. When Tusk: Act 1 drives forward, it tends to spin in circles due to its weight distribution, but the weapon hits from all sides well enough, so I don't believe it to be a problem.

t1.png


Vitamin C is a bit bigger than I had initially thought it would be, but I like the style of axe that I've incorporated into the design.

vc.png


My next 5 should be Yellow Temperence, Anubis, Little Feet, D4C and Doobie-Wah (if anyone knows what they are - if not, don't worry lmao)

Yellow Temperence / Anubis / Little Feet / Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Doobie-Wah! and C-Moon

Yellow Temperence was a design that was supposed to be done as a .obj .bot but its design was an awkward one to properly skin. The tail's somewhat ineffectual and acts as more of a visual gag or something to differentiate it from other .bots.

yt.png


Anubis was initially completely different with a design reminiscent of Spectre or SLAM with an axe going over the head. I'm not especially happy with this one but I'm a bit dead creatively with designs at the moment so it's fine for now.

a.png


Little Feet is an example of style working over substance - by the time I'd got everything sorted I realised that I'd used an inferior flipping mechanism. Instead of punting something through the air, the final result is more of an electric lifter.

lf.png


Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (D4C) is probably the single most destructive .bot I've ever made other than Neo-Chopper 2 and I'm 100% certain that I made it so by complete accident. It's probably not much for some people but I managed to pass 140,000 points of damage in a 4-way fight.

d4c.png


Doobie-Wah! is more of a visual .bot than a .bot made for fighting. I quite like it but style has yet again won out over functionality.

dw.png


C-Moon was initially meant to be a flipper but I think this design is cooler.

C Moon is really nice, though it needs better weapon supports I feel, and the amount of typhoons on it will put it over the weapon limits for most tournaments these days. Visually though it's quality  :thumbup

Anubis was very similar to Tornado at one point but I changed the design. I'd also made a few of these images in the style of Stand Splashes but creating a unique one every time is quite stressful.

The bits on the side of D4C aren't extenders, they're large pink beaters to stop the .bot from going onto its side.

I did have stacked beaters on the drum but they didn't work as well as the typhoon teeth. They're not that nice but they're more effective.

It looked better, but it wasn't fast enough to benefit from that design.

The first iteration of the design didn't have the steadying prongs and it would constantly freak out every time it hit another .bot.

Aqua Necklace / Notorious B.I.G

Aqua Necklace is a simple wedge w/ a flipper on the front. The original cover lacked an aspect to make the chassis pop visually, so I added the two stripes running down the front. It's more of a lifter than a flipper, but it can do its job.

an.png


As Notorious B.I.G is meant to be one of the most resilient, most violent and most uncontrollable Stands in all of JoJo, it only makes sense that such a Stand would be represented as one of the most violent, most resilient types of .bot - a spinner. The base layer of red mass is meant to be done in the style of pulsating flesh, like, well, the "skin" of Notorious B.I.G itself!

I'll update this post with the other 4 once I've actually made them.
Aqua Necklace is gorgeous. What burst does the flipper use?

It's just an upside-down Storm burst-piston. The first iteration of the design lacked the circled area and there was some exterior clipping with the mechanism and the chassis so I tweaked the design and gave it a little raise to cover it.

I'd maybe try going for a more powerful burst setup if you can find the weight and do it without compromising the visuals, though what you currently have may be adequate depending how heavy your flipper arm itself is.

As an aside I just noticed upon second look that you seem to have bolts on the flipper arm. If you were to enter a tournament (which I'd love to see) you may have to ditch those as they aren't a standard component in DSL.

Yeah, they're more done for visual looks than anything combat orientated. The previous version had axle extenders slightly clipping through the arm to look like screwheads.

All in all though it's gorgeous. Not often these days that someone crops up with such a well defined and unique build style  :thumbup
