Domanating's Showcase of nonsense

[Domanating]

I was hoping for some more round tips for the structure. The razors are too weak and irons only deal damage in the tip, which makes it useless in this case. Honestly, I think maces are the best option here. They are not too long weapons and have decent HP

I didn't think irons had normals... And don't they have a concussion value along with some piercing?

I think irons do have normals... Well at least there's nothing in the description that points otherwise, I'm not sure

irons dont have normals

Huh... Never noticed. Maybe because I used Irons only 3 times in my entire RA2 carrier 
Thanks

Here's another armored beast









A SHW with a big frontal armor. Its main weapon are 5 different sized pole spikes powered by a small JX burst motor. The pole spikes have different sizes on purpose so that every spike can effectively hit the opponent as shown in pic 2. It has 2 additional passive burst motors, hidden below the armor, used only to upright the bot and they have 100% effectiveness on doing so. The bot has some good wedges and good speed but average agility, which compromised many battles. The cutting teeth also have a job. They stop the opponent from climbing over Fortifier and keeps them at the perfect spot to be hammered by its main weapon. And the teeth do that job very well. It has its triumphs but overall it is not a great battle bot.

It has Titanium 3mm, btw. I always forget pointing this out.

>Great armor;
>Fast;
>Good wedginess;
>100% working self righting mechanism;

>Lacks weaponry for a SHW;
>Lacks destruction effectiveness;
>Severely compromised by its average agility.

That looks awesome !
I was going to try and make a shell spinner with a hex plate shell a while ago but it was just too heavy to get a decent spin speed on and it had the same agility problem as Fortifier.

Sick!

Thank you 

I'm currently out of ideas for more insane bots. So it might take a while to replenish and refresh my mind.

Also in these last couple of months I kind of missed my noob building days where I built simple bots against simple opponents, without the excessive need of wedges and such. DSL is kind of a wedge battle. The wedgiest wins, in general. I could move to Stock but i don't like stock very much because it lacks components
So i think I'll make an escape to DSL IRL. I'll post sometimes IRL and sometimes my usual bots. I will also obviously specify when the bots I post are intended to be seen as IRL.

So I've built some examples and I'd like you guys to give me feedback on how to build IRL. I tried searching for some instructions for DSL IRL building in the forum and wiki but no success. Comments, critics, opinions, everything welcome.

First IRL attempt and also my first MW in my entire showcase!
A very fast and agile side flipper.

This bot is NOT IRL!!! (at least in my opinion)
I posted here to show you the non-IRL to IRL conversion I made here:

and I would like to know if the conversion was enough to consider it IRL

What do you think about this one IRL speaking?





 
Before you say anything about this last one, I just felt like building it. 

[Jonzu95]

I love the last one. Looks cool.

[090901]

bahahahaha last one is awesome

[Mr. AS]

would it be possible to get MA's piston further back? it would look better and be more damaging if the teeth start inside the chassis

[Badnik96]

Lolscooter.

[Domanating]

Thank you all 

They all look incredible, as usual. What wheels does the scooter use, and does it stay upright? Also I like the use of the Y-connecter on Feral Scorpion IRL, it looks like it fits in there good.

The scooter uses rubber wheels. There are in fact 4 wheels and they were attached inwards but they are 'stuck' together.
Edit: It does stay upright for about 5 seconds but because of the DSL axle mount, the front starts to swivel and then it topples

would it be possible to get MA's piston further back? it would look better and be more damaging if the teeth start inside the chassis

Yes I can but for that I need to attach the 2 NPC motors further back. The one on the right will be a little bit out of the chassis if I do it. I think it would look ugly like that IRL speaking but if you think otherwise I would have no trouble doing it.

[Naryar]

I like the LW best. It's really damn cool.

I also fail to see how the last one is more IRL than the second one.

[RedSawn]

I also fail to see how the last one is more IRL than the second one.

I think the idea is that there's now a slot in the frame that the claw fits into, and before it was a solid chunk of armor.

[Badnik96]

Also 5WD FTW :D

Yes, and claw when activated would pass right through the front armor. The self righting mechanism is inside the chassis, cutting through all the batteries, pistons, motors, etc, while in the IRL version it's positioned outside the chassis and the front armor is removed to avoid unrealistic overlapping.

I'm new to IRL building so I don't know how far exactly should the bots be IRL

ok i didn't see enough the insides

and in IRL cutting through armor is fine : cutting through power and mobility components isn't.

So whatever customized armor I build I can still make things cut through it?

Yes. Only as long as it doesn't compromise the integrity or effectiveness of the armor, though.

Got it. Thanks for the info, m8

[Domanating]

Some of you have already seen it but here it is officially:







Jonzu, I hope you didn't take that picture too seriously. I'm actually giving you the credit for the existence of this bot because I got the idea once I saw your post. It's crazy but ideas can come from everywhere 

Note: The bot is obviously just for looks. It cannot stand or walk.
The tail is kinda crappy but i couldn't think anything else.

Edit: In case you're wondering, arms, legs, tail, mouth and head can move up and down

[MassimoV]

It's, too, amazing!
