Domanating's Showcase of nonsense

*go into showcase*

I'm not paying the hospital bill 


Here are some IRL builds:

AW

LW

MW

This first MW is very fast and agile but quite unstable. It can upright but it's hard to hit the opponents due too much agility (too sensitive)




This one is an improvement. Sacrifices some of its speed and agility for superior stability and accuracy.

HW

[Probably Rob]

D'aawww, that li'l antweight!

[MassimoV]

That HW is really good.

[Domanating]

Thank you for comments 

Now something more different:










I actually surprised myself. I thought I would need to go SHW or UHW but I managed to build it as a HW with a respectable 3mm Titanium armor.

I wanted to make a video of it in action but the DSL3.0 AI bots just suck too much.

It's not very fast nor agile either. I would say average speed and low agility.
The lower jaw is wedged to slide the opponent in the mouth easily. The entire head works as flipper as it can fire upwards. But the upper jaw can also effectively close. Obviously both burst motors can be fired independently.
The tail is fixed on a 90º axle and so it can move freely. It can be useful to whip the opponent in tight turns or simply by charging backwards


Edit: I forgot that Alligator had 2 L's. Don't bother, lol

[Mecha]

Wow, I'm stunned. I love it.
somebody give this guy a +rep

[Scrapyard24c]

*First picture* Say ah. Awesome design. Only thing that give this thing any trouble would be a flipper because it doesn't look like it can self-right nor invertable.

[Sylandro]

There goes my boxers.

[Domanating]

Thank you

You're definitely right and I forgot to mention that. Once it gets flipped over its a 99.9% certain game over.

I thought the head mechanics could self-right it.

The body of the bot is just too long to allow that. Maybe it would work if I removed the tail.

[Scrap Daddy]

That looks incredible, nice job.

[Badnik96]

Beautiful. Great job.

Idea: Put the tail on a vertical axle so it can "collapse" when the robot needs to self-right? Or would that not work?

[Merrick]

Holy mother of god.

[Domanating]

Thank you all once again

mmm... I doubt it. The weight of the tail is still present to counter the burst motor. Plus the axle, even if at vertical position, would stop when it reaches its rotating limit.
A side burst motor would resolve the issue. But to fit it I would have to redesign the body from scratch. Or simply attach it somewhere out of the body.

[MassimoV]

Swag.

[Mr. AS]

oh my

speed should be fine though since most alligators dont run that fast anyway on land (according to wikianswers at least).

edit- you dont have a wiki page yet all the members known for nothing other than entering bbeans do? bullsh**. im going to make one for you soon.

[123savethewhales]

DSL3?  I suggest lowing your drive changing the wheels to hypno.  They have the same speed anyway.

You can then use the rest of the weight to protect the wheels with claw like armors.

I've always noticed that.

[Domanating]

Thanks once more

I'm flattered m8, but you don't need to waste time on a Wiki page just because I exist, lol. Just don't bother.

It's the best I could do while trying to keep the armor at 3mm Titanium. I had to remove some components to complete the wheel guard anyways, though. It seems a bit faster with hypnos for some reason but comes at a reasonable cost: It has become more unstable and in sharp turns it can tip over quite easily.

[123savethewhales]

Have the claws come out sidways instead of forward and back, that will provide it with the stability it needs.

Also you can probably get a cheaper setup by not actually using those teeth, and armor can be lower to plastic 3 if needed.

Possibly something like this


Their arms really should angle outward like that anyway.  You probably don't need the extenders coming down and across the wheel either with those giant angle plates, so you can put those flipper segments back on it's back.  Also pole spike may be replaced by DS Light if you need more weight, and DS Light is a much better weapon than pole spikes anyway even in DSL 3 (2 side and point normal against just the tip).
