A few of you might know me from thr RA fourm. I am still playing the game im just not active over there any more. I know there are still a few people that are still playing and I want to jump back into the comunity but im staying away from the other fourms there heck on earth. Now to the bots. I just picked a few of my favs.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/tortouse.png)
this bot is basicly a tank. Its super slow but super strong and the weapon can do some major damage
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/BigODisk.png)
This is by far one of my fav bots to use.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Aspinningtop.png)
I have a ton of MW full bodys. My full bodys arnt bad it just keeping them from turning. I made a bot that could stay straight but you had to have the body spinning at full speed and needed to be at full power.
-
OOOHHH MMYYYY GOOOOD WHAT DEGINES!!!!!!!!
The tank looks superior and ... it just looks enormously awesome.
I would like to see some pictures at inside too of those robots especially at the tank and of course weights.
-
I've got to agree with Weedy here, those are some sweet bots (although the flags on that tank bot do look a little out of place). They look like they'd do well even against the 2.0 AI. That vertical spinner is kind of like Final Destiny rotated 90 degrees... scary.
-
Wow thanks for the rewelcoming. I can take the armor off to show you the guts. I like this fourm better than the RA fourm but I think im going to post these over there to show boat.
well here are the insides. It has plastic armor thats ok because I dont think anyone has ever took all of the armor off and no pop-up can get under it.

-
Nicccccccceee. But one question. Have you tried all the other motors as drive motors? For example NPCs?
-
I made this bot a long time ago so I dont remeber if I tryed them but these work nicely because of the belts.
-
Your second bot reminds me of my MW, Spit In Your Eye.
-
I have made quite a few bots I just havnt goten around to posting them. Mainly its because I have had anything to top my other bots. Ill post them later tho. I have been trying to go with more LW and MW bots. The is Spin Devil. Its a MW but just barly. When you think of a 2 wheeled vertical spinner you dont thing of fast and manuerable but it is.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/SpinDevil.png)
-
Looks mean to be middle weighted. But when you think little of it that can be in middle weight class but I think that is quite destructive. Nice robot.
-
I need to find a way to protect the weapon moter. Its kinda hard because the sapports are on an angle.
-
You could try this thing. (http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3194/untitled13fz.jpg)
So place the first extender what you see in the extenders menu to the red marked area and do the same to the other side too and then place there some sort of plate. That might work.
-
I will try something like that.
-
This is my football bot. I think im the only born american that calls it football. Its invertable and it has a storm piston to shoot the ball. Other than that its kinda plan. Its a MW so I think im going to make a heavy weight so I can attack the other player ;). I know its cheating but its all in the name of fun. Im also working on a orginal football bot and a drag racing bot. My racing bot I have not is quite diffrent than a lot of current one. Its realy fast but its rlly high up and need sapport so it doesnt filp. This need to be redone. As long as you dont hit a wall your fine tho. The wing not only does it look cool but it rlly helps from flipping.

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/dragbot.png)
-
What is the matter with you? Soccer. Soccer!
-
So can the drag racing bot jump like a grasshopper with those pistons? Might be handy on a narrow track.
-
Wow, great designs on alot of them, well thanks to you i'm gonna start playing dsl more and less stock...I drifted to the stock side because of the next turny...;)
-
Ham im glad i brought you back from the dark stock side.
@click if I had co2 tanks in there yes it could but it basicly does a rupt only with pistons. It worthless but kinda funny to watch.
-
This is the new bot NOVA. Its a duel disk vertical spinner. It is very stable. I havnt battle tested it because of a glitch. The floor of the test arena change to the skin of the hill top arena. I know know if the hill top should have had the same skin as the or the orginal skin but my hill top has always had the test arena skin untill now. You can see the glitch in the perveiw of the bot.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Nova.png)
Edit: I just got back home and was going to test the bot in battle and the bot is gone because the program crashed befor I saved because I used alt tab to just minmize the program. I need to stop doing that. :(
-
Bummer. It looks like a good bot.
It also looks like the floor skin for the test garage needs a new file name. I'll have to do that sometime.
-
Well I remade the bot and its slightly diffrent. The weapon moters are upgraded to a duel mag moter for each weapon and the weapons are stright now because of the moters. I going to be switching it back thought because hammers just rip off them moters. About the floor when I reset the game it fixed itself. Like I thought it was just a game glitch. Its just read the wrong file.
-

AHHH I hate when that happens! I try tobe careful, but when I accidently click on a white box...oh i cant even discuss it. :wink:
Nice bot, inovative design...I would use DSL discs with teeth though.
-
DSL teeth might be a better idea. Ill try it out. I would most likly use the bigger teeth so I can throw bots easyer.
-
I rebuild it like I stated before but now there is NOVA 2. Its use to pointed in disks with small DSL teeth. I love this bot so much. Its does great damage and has a few new things to the game. I dont know if you know about tekken juggling but for you who do :D I works best aginst minion. It also ripped rasor to sheads with easy. It took the side armor off in a few seconds and then I just toyed with him. Its a near Identical set up but its a lot heavyer than the nova disks. Its not like I need the super heavy plow on the back. A nice 5 KG skirt with do just ass well.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Nova2.png)
-
My ... wait I have to see what robots I have build :lol:
But seriously I think my Spike Beetle II or someone will rip that easily to parts. I have so big variety of robots made.
-
I know what you mean. I have a full team of big O disks.
-
I should start posting my bots again. This is my new bot. Its a flail full body thats just devisating. Longest match was about 30 seconds. This thing is easly built in real life. It is powered by the most powerful moter and with all the iron spikes it rippeds parts a wheels off intantly.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Spiked.png)
-
Looks mean. I think even my Spike Beetle II won't have any words to resist that.
Buutt... :twisted: I have Hedgehog II and I think that will make that thing to beg some mercy. Okay I admit, Hedgehog II might be a bit too mean machine for a normal competitor.
But that looks quite good. Double armoring and the outer armoring covers the chassis' armoring compleatly and those axle mounts on spikes make it lose less drum's speed when they hit to something. Looks good and enough mean. :wink:
-
Now that is a great bot. I bet it takes a really long time to load though. I made a Centrifuge 2 once that was similar to that bot, but it took waaaay too long to load so I deleted it.
What's the drive and batteries?
-
On this computer it takes a while to load but on my computer it shouldnt be to bad. Its drive moters ar TWMR drives and its powered by 1 orange battry. The weapon motor is a 6 gearbox.
-
Doesn't the battery drain fast?
-
I have never had a problem with it and I leave the weapon motor on all match. I never had a long match tho. Its last a long time in the test arena.
-
This is my frist DSL 2 bot.
Name:Crazed One
Drive: 4 TMEP3 Driver
Weapon:Full Body Spinner
Weapon Motor:Duel Perm
I love that new motor. The 4 drive wheels keep it ballanced. With 2 wheel you have to drive by going most back and fourth but this you only have to adjust when it spins up.

-
Nasty-looking bot there. I made one like it once. Hint: Try attaching the beater bars so they're flush with the shell. It will be nearly unstoppable.
What kind of armor and batteries?
-
It has the 1 mm plastic but it doesnt get flipped offen and it hasnt been hit in the center. It has 6 black battery. I donno is putting them in a line would help that much tho. I looks better this way anyways
-
Nice! What kind of extender is the one it has on top? Looks heavy... I wouldn't spend much weight on it.
-
It's just an aluminum extender, no more than 18 kgs.
That 1 mm plastic is a killer. If any bots get under you, you're toast. Maybe you can take a page out of Grog's book and use a polycarbonate skirt on top, and use the extra weight to get at least 1 mm aluminum.
-
I like that bot. It reminds me of Mauler. It does'nt Maulerdance, does it?
-
It only does when it is really beat up and missing about half of it. I can take quite a beating before it starts acting up. Also flippers are almost usless because first of all they get thrown to the side and if they do get under it im still stable in the air. Physics at work for you.
-
woah! THAT'S WICKEDLY SUBLIME!
-
Don't bump.
-
Don't bump.
what the deuce does that supposed to mean?
-
Don't bump.
what the deuce does that supposed to mean?
Iit means that if you post in a topic that has not been posted in for at least a month, you are "bumping" the topic to the current date. It's generally preferred that you start a new thread than to bump an old one. Don't worry too much about it - some of these threads have gotten up to a year's bump on them ....
-
Its also my fault for not posting any new bots.
-
Going for the 6 year bump. Good to see that people are still playing.
First bot I have made in 6 years.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Bot1.png)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e19/deadkenndys1105/Bot2.png)
Still hasn't been named yet.
-
Holy heck look who is back
I have a feeling you will hate what DSL has become.
-
6 years.
Swag.
Nice to see some old-school building nowadays.
-
It is funny that I was looking at this thread the day before he posted and bumped it xD
But on topic, that looks very sweet, mostly like a mixture of IRL and normal DSL.
-
Son of Whyachi Replica much?
-
Not intentionally. My first weapon set up used 40x 40 DSL bars but they didn't register damage. I wanted to keep the low ground clearance and the egg beaters were the only thing that really worked properly.
-
Don't use WP836E's they're just plain bad.
Welcome back by the way.
-
Whoa, look who came back!
Bot looks OK I guess. Building has advanced a lot in 6 years.
-
Wow, THIS guy is old guard. Welcome back to the boards. =)
But yeah, DSL has moved on quite a lot in the past six years. But has split into two camps, sort of. There's regular DSL, which goes for efficiency and combat effectiveness at any cost, and there's also an "IRL" building style, which focuses more on creating designs you would see in real life competition. So you could pick whichever one most appeals to you, and focus on going down that road, or attempt to go for both. But not at the same bot, that wouldn't really work too well.
-
i think you might like irl building
-
Hey there. Decent looking bot and one which would fit within the IRL (In Real Life) category of bots. I'd recommend looking at Scrap Daddy and Thyrus's showcases for examples of IRL.
Of course, plain DSL is still around, so I'd check The Ounce, 123Savethewhales and Naryar's showcases of the style, as well as some of the Normie showcases, like Marty, ty4er, Jonzu's and mine.
Anyway, for your bot, I'd try reducing the amount of batteries (remove the long batteries) and get better drive, probably mags.
-
Yea im noticing the change in style. I was kinda hoping that DSL stayed closer to more realistic bots but im not surprised. I think there is a happy middle ground though. Personally as long as you can explain how it would work in real life its close enough to IRL for me.
I have a feeling im going to be more on the modding side though because I am a game modeling student now. Im working on a degree in game design right now.
-
Wow that's pretty cool. Any good at reading .exe's lol. Serge has mucked around a bit in the RA2 exe but not much has come from it. Trying to unlock rule of 7, weight classes, etc.
You'll fit in nicely with the IRL bots.
-
I remember you when I lurked and I was like 8. Good to see you back.

Here are 4 new bots. The first 3 are MW's
-
Those looks good :eek:
I particularly like the look of the last one
-
C2 stuff...nice! Some great use of parts that aren't used often.
-
I love the look of your bots.
-
Those are some sick-looking designs.
-
I like all 4 of them. :D
they look good for my DSL standards.
-
Pretty nice IRL bots...
-
I'm sorry, I don't like them.
-
I'm sorry, I don't like them.
Thats fine but can I ask why? Feel free to give brutal critiques. I will say that they are rather boring but I am relearning the game.
I havn't quite found the balance of new school and old school DSL.
-
I like the 3rd and 4th one, they really do look like someone could make them IRL.
-

1st one: Chassis' too big
2nd one: Disc's not big enough, and those small beaters are pointless
3rd one: I like this one, but the paintjob needs some work.
4th one: Chaos 2 canister is pointless, and the taz wedges do what, exactly?
-
1st Bot: I like the disc, despite the fact it's pointing the wrong way. Wedges less so, they look to me as if they'll get in the way a bit, and a little bit flimsy. Perhaps try smaller wheels, such as Vlads or Tornados, and see if you can improve the front wedges with the weight saved from that.
2nd Bot: I think it looks cute. Like a baby version of those Tombstone-like HS you see. Beaters keep the front up, but they're a little bit ungainly, and I reckon the back wedge is a little too steep. If you had the skirt hinge in the middle, it'd be the same both ways up, and at a shallower angle.
3rd Bot: Interesting way of doing the weapon. Flipper Segments look a little bit suspect to me, though. Wheels do go well with it, though, good call on those. Aside from that, I just think it looks a little bit basic. A slightly flashier skin would give it a bit more of a pop, rather than a simple mix of greys.
4th Bot: Taz wedges go really well with the angled shell. Stuff on top seems to work well too. Although I can't help feeling that it looks like a turret hammer bot without the turret hammer. If you could find a way to squeeze a turret hammer on there, that would look fantastic.
