bot of the year candidate right there

This is the most effort ever put into a bot. Best tank ever!

Better than your ball. I assume the turret rotates all the way?

NERF DOM PLS (also, can the barrel be adjusted?)

Thank you all

Yes, the turret is powered by a small servo motor so it rotates a full 360º.

When you mean "adjusted" I suppose up and down? In that case unfortunately no due to the rule of 7 and the fact that DSL 3.0 does not have the Metal Hinge.
So instead of giving the barrel the up and down motions, which consequently would mean an incomplete barrel, I decided to sacrifice realistic mechanics to more realistic visuals of the cannon.
But I did add the recoil feature of the cannon using a small servo piston shown in the pic below. As the real tank, only the thinner part of the cannon actually recedes into the turret.

Sorry for the bad quality of the letters (the word below says "recoil"). I edited the pic 4 times.
Also the turret could be way more realistic but the rule of 7 stood in the way again. the most time consuming part of the build was making the turret the best looking possible.
If I had the Metal Hinge I would probably be able to make a complete cannon plus the up and down movements but not the recoil feature.

As for the BOTM. I don't feel much compelled to build anything for the BOTM because of the recent addition of a large amount of rules and restrictions. It's almost like I need to make a check list to make sure I'm following every single rule. The previous BOTM was way simpler and straight forward.

I'm lost for words on this one.

Ouch. I told I'm not much into DSL...

It doesn't matter if it's DSL or Stock or anything else. The number of rules for stock and DSL in previous BOTMs were the same number. There was no need to complicate, at least in my opinion.
First let me point out that I rarely join BOTMs. I just joined 2 because they seemed the most interesting. I wouldn't even join these last BOTMS, even if they had the simple rules like before, just because like many others I simply didn't feel interested. It's true that to me that giant list of rules repels me but I cannot judge this fully until I find a BOTM that actually interests me.

Oh. OK then, "DSL Venko". But I think, that you should still enter, until everyone get totally bored from "stock Venko" and "DSL Venko" winning all the BOTMs

Also, consider this as a huge compliment, since I don't post at DSL threads at all...

That's something I was afraid of because I won 2 BOTMs in a row (the only 2 I ever joined). They are the December 2012 and January 2013 BOTMs. The February 2013 BOTM also got my interest but I was afraid to win 3 times in a row.... So I didn't participate. And now I regret that decision, because maybe just maybe if I had joined, the new BOTM wouldn't have been implemented.

I already did since the 1st time you posted on my showcase, m8. Thanks a lot

Also, thank you Scrapyard and Mechadino for your speechless comments
