Dreamcast's Showcase (DSL)
« on: March 03, 2017, 09:47:21 PM »



It's armed with a lot of metal weapons driven on a MAG, powered by four ants and protected with steel 1. The turning is ghastly.

Are you in DSL 2.1 or DSL 2.2?

If you in DSL 2.2, use Other battery instead of Ant Battery (useless you want to use ant in antweight or bw (I don't know) or whatever)

I think it's technically both.

Alright then  :dumb)
Ant batteries are trash-tier in 2.2, one slim black battery will do the job of all of those ants for this bot. Razors and light DS teeth are awful now too as they have no HP, flails are pretty bad too since they have like no HP as well. Your best bet for a shell spinner would be to cram as many typhoon teeth/cutting teeth/ripping teeth on as possible (Large typhoon teeth and ripping teeth are better than the lighter/smaller ones, but you won't be able to spam up the shell as much)

You sure you can't make that invertible? Lower the chassis, reduce empty space, and swap wheels if necessary to get invertibility.

It was harder to control with a tiny chassis.

aaah, oldschool building. i appreciate it. sadly, DSL 2.2 is a bit different.

first the WP836E's are the best for 2WD bots. just use one, with one ant if you really need more batteries.

i'm sure you can make the chassis flatter and use hypnos, and I think hypnos are still grippier than shinies in DSL 2.2.

also that seems okay. I'm not certain how good irons are in 2.2, but i think they are decent at least.
