Long story short, been inactive lately due to holiday's but I'm back and I made a thing... Splash!!



now yes, this is basically Splatter from Battlebots 2015 (also Whiplash from Robogames made by the same team, at least I think so) 4WD, lifter with a spinner on it, but this one has either a wedge to deflect spinners away, or a plate of metal at the front for when facing any other weapon, I couldn't make the saws spin so they are static, but if anyone knows how I can do that then please tell me so i can adjust it.

anyways, this is meant to be a small and simple build, nothing special, would love to hear your thoughts on how i can improve it. ^_^

Love it. Especially the version with the anti-spinner wedges. Only change I'd suggest is putting a small turquoise disc inside each of the taz wheels to cover the red and make them fit with the bot's colour scheme better.

thanks for the advice Robo, will need to find a way of cutting down enough weight to be able to do so, but thanks for the advice

[Badger]

That's super cool, particularly the wedged version

Thanks Badger ^_^

[Thyrus]

woah nice!

With CF you could hide two mags in the lifter to make the saws spin. if you just want to have them rotate you could just use 360 degree flails

[Doodle2411]

thanks thyrus, the help is gratefully appreciated

[Dreamcast]

Woah, niceu niceu! What's up with the Xs on the front?

[Doodle2411]

I honestly dont know, i guess they are X's for other robots to hit, kinda like a map, the X's are meant to be where you dig, on the robot, its where you need to hit XD

[pokebro14]

As splash was posted I was actually making a splatter type robot

[Gulden]

When I do splatter ripoffs I usually put a Perm 80 or at least flatmotor on the lifter.  Maybe try using those?

Otherwise good work.

[Doodle2411]

thanks for the advice Gulden ^_^

So over the few weeks I have been making some of my robots from stock into DSL, and I thought I'd start with the House Robots from my YouTube series: Battlebots VS Robot Wars. So the first one I did was the one I felt deserved a good design, Carnivore!

Now as you see in the splash, there is the stock equivalent for those who dont watch the series (watch my videos, watch all my videos, send me presents XD) just so you can get a rough idea of the changes I made, it still has the 4WD but the wheels are much thicker meaning its less likely to be turned onto its back, oh and the wheels are protected by my usual disc and angled cross design, the jaws are still there but have been turned more into the face rather than just the teeth, meaning I could add more detail onto its back, where you can see the spikes I added to make it more like a creature and less like a robot, and instead of having a battleaxe for its tail, it has 4 large typhoon teeth that make this weird design that strangely (at least in my eyes) give it a bit more character, especially since the tail can now flail instead of being more static, meaning carnivore has more character and isn't just a bland robot.

I feel like I did well with this, but I would love to hear what you think about it so do let me know ^_^

[TheRoboteer]

Said it when you first showed it but I ****ing love it. Would be nice if you could get it into the SHW limit but I completely understand if you don't wanna try and trim the weight with how good it looks right now
