Love it. How well does it do against HS?
>IRL

It probably gets ravaged by them but I don't think it was built to be effective. It's a Domanating original; you know it's gonna have little specks of effectiveness, and massive globs of awesome.

I couldn't have said it any better. It can take out some HS but not many of them and those it can it's mostly luck. It is, however good against almost all other types. But once flipped over, it's game over.
Hardly any bot I've built so far can compete against horizontal or shell spinners, except my own of those types.

New bot inspired on Scrap Daddy's SHW-Angler







It is certainly not good at all in battle but I think it is a nice idea. In the video I battle a weaponless LW IRL bot because every time I battle even an AW with weapons my bot loses.
To make matters worse I could not destroy that LW in time. To show you how bad it is in real battles  :rolleyes:

Nice bot, you probably couldn't kill TimberWolf because it has some insane armor (like 10mm tite or something).

Thank you all  :smile:

Ah... So that's why it was so hard to destroy it. Chose the wrong opponent for the video then.

Just came here to say that I'll have to cease building bots for while because I'm lacking inspiration and patience right now. I get frustrated faster when I fail in an idea and basically rage quit the game instead of trying new ways. That's an indication that I need to stop.

I'll still be around making scattered and pointless comments, though  :rolleyes:

Lacking inspiration, he says.

You're a massive bowl of Inspiration, if I only had the finesse of your bot making skills I'd probably be making my own versions of some of your bots. That being said, roll around in showcases of IRL builders; IRL building can be fun and rewarding and so long as you have an idea of what you're going to do, you can make some pretty wicked sick bots. I gotta say, I liked your attempts at IRL, they were very different, like something from an early season of RW or Battlebots.

Thank you for compliments, m8. I do believe however that everyone can be equally skilled in bot building. It's the same game, the same components... You just need to picture it already built in your mind and try to accomplish your idea in the game. I tend to follow the most complex ideas I come up with, often resulting in lack of effectiveness in battles.
I do scan through all showcases (Stock, DSL, Custom) for new posts and new bots for inspiration.

But sometimes I just have to cease building and refresh my ideas or else I get frustrated and won't be able to build at all. That's how my brain is wired to work :baffled:

I might put something tomorrow, but just might

Looks light I might have kept my word  :mrgreen:







SHW hugging bot. It's very powerful and can take out opponents very quickly. It is also very effective against horizontal spinners, easily pinning them against a corner and stop their weapons. It cannot upright itself but it has the advantage of being wide enough to make it very hard to flip. With only 5mm plastic armor it isn't that strong for its weight class.

This bot was made to be seen as an IRL bot. But I'm not sure it's a little too complex for that. Tell me your opinion.

>Very fast and agile
>Very good weaponry
>Hard to flip

>Wide
>Unable to upright itself
>Weak armor
>Exposed back motors

It looks awesome. The only things I would change though are the exposed motors and the top weapons, try using an overhead saw like I did on renekton.

I tryed doing as you said without changing the design much but I think I would have to make another from scratch to better accommodate the changes. Like this, it looks unrealistic, a bit too messy and naked from behind, lol
