I like the extender work on the flipper arm. The front and LEDs however make me want to call it The cockeyed hyena. What armor does it have?

It should have titanium 3 I think. I'm not to sure, but I'll need to double check.

For Annihilation that should be sufficient. It's pretty flipper heavy so it'll mostly be a matter of if your arm can get low enough to get under them. Otherwise you've got plenty of speed, plus enough power in the flipper to be competitive I'd say. Batteries would be only thing to watch if it fires that flipper enough times.

As for now, I'll keeping Hell Spawn 1.2 a secret until DOT (DemonofTomorrow) posts the main splash for Annihilation Nation. So for now after running out of ideas for Kurt's Masters of Disaster, I decided to make a not-so serious Rammer for a second entry. I don't know if Kurt will allow it, but I wanted to have a few laughs out of this one like IRL with Ray Billing's "The Great Pumpkin". Without further or do, here's Flashing Frog.

As long as you didn't use CF, it looks good to me. :)

Is there a reason you went with 4 wheels instead of 2?

Yes because Rammers rely on a strong drive chain and brute force to deal damage and to push their opponents around the whole arena. If you think the drive is a little too much, then yes I do feel it may end up replicating the old BBEANS4 mid-weight Bot "Rage III", which often punted itself OOTA for going too fast with or without a wedge.

Got to love your charismatic humour. Seriously if you didn't read the main post I made, this isn't designed to be a hardcore serious entry, but more of a bot made for a few laughs like in the official GTM Tournament Stock division with DOT entry "Prepare your RAW Anus" . So I wouldn't expect this robot to win a match.
So as always, it'll end up like this after one match:

Yes, you are correct. Just showing what the Robot may end up looking like.

RIP Splinter what a great bot, was sh** on before its time.

So moving away from the splinter stuff and Flashing Frog. I noticed from DOT that he noted that Hell Spawn couldn't self-right. So I tasked myself to build a Robot that can in-fact, self-right with a flipper and roll over. So without further to do, here you go:

This is how I manged to get the Robot to Self-Right.

For additional information, It's armour is Titanium 5 and is smaller than Hell Spawn. But its flipping power is weaker than Hell Spawn's. As away's have a say and it'll be in the Bot-exchange under the name: Blue Oni.

Dark-Al · « **Reply #35 on:** February 20, 2017, 11:07:18 AM »

Another Experimental Bot here. First of all, I don't really make proper Heavy-Weights that often, due to two key factors such as; I can never make use of the 800Kg limits and how I cannot get the bot to look nice as well; finally, I struggle to make Vertical Spinners because I struggle to balance them and use them effectively in combat. So This Bot is overall, a little unfinished.

So after a bit of brain storming and reverse-engineering, which I didn't copy the design of anyone. I built a not-so real life spinner which It's powerful, but flawed like most of my bots. So here it is:

make a support for the Z-tek and it looks like the weapon is going through the batts maybe move the batts a bit more to the side but its nice so far

Avalanche · « **Reply #37 on:** February 21, 2017, 03:23:26 AM »

Yeah, make a sort of box around the etek, then stick some supports on the other side of the disc like counter revolution.

kix · « **Reply #38 on:** February 21, 2017, 05:04:35 AM »

Yeah.. make a support for it..

Also why does your topic title says DSI instead of DSL?

I already started some work on this like replacing the utterly useless DSA Armour with Titanium 5 and starting to put support for the motor.
Also, The title is a bit of a typo because the I was actually a non-capitalized L and not a capital L.That is why it looks like an I. Thanks for pointing it out anyway.
