2WD NPCFast/Techno drive, but is there any explanation for why these make the bot faster than say Tornado's or Vlad's?DSL wheels all have a 'grip' value; the higher the grip, the faster a bot will travel. Technos have a grip value of 2.3, while Vlads and Tornados have a grip of only 1.3.
Taking a look at that bot I think you could make it invertable with NPC Fasts by placing the motors as far back on the wedge like in the picture belowThat does look interesting, but I don't think I have the width to include that and keep it mostly contained within the body. I might try that solution out, considering making a SHW version. :approve:

I love the design. What are the rotating titaniumextenders supposed to do.They were originally extenders for saws I used as additional weapons. I had linked them to the controller as drive motors, and they acted as wheels to steer it if it was inverted. but it was a feeble setup, so those, and the metal extenders have gone.
Hammers go through perms.
I bet DSC feels a bit

What are the BSGs for?
Looks again amazin DSC.
Me likes everything about it. It has awesome skin, and reminds me of Dominator 2 and for some reason Iron Awe 5.

need to find a name for it

"Something That Is Not A Tournament Despite What Others Might Think" ? STINATDWOMT ?
You`re still welcomme to enter some of your bots in the "thing" I planed to do (need to find a name for it! I try not to say tournament)
I LOVE YOUR BUILDING STYLE
Where do I recognize the name of the 2nd one from though? XD
Ah, thought so. Maiden <3 saw them earlier this year. Amazing.Where do I recognize the name of the 2nd one from though? XD
If it was available, it'd be clad in Iron ;)

And for something a little different, a robot designed as a 'what if', i.e what if the Plunderbird Team had continued to churn out robots and cheesy robot songs. Armed with 4 viscious claws and a "Plunder-flinger", this robot is capable of sending any enemy robot soaring. [/J. Pearce]

Yes, I know I sounded like a person of TV :(

This would be great, apart from me having only the most basic of knowledge of AI'ing. I can make a smartzone and make it move on its own, thats it. :/
I just saw your new bots and I have to say you and Thy are the 2 best IRL bot builders ever. I would send Dreadehog aswell.That's fine, I'll settle for third. =P

lol? "Thyrus" and "best" sounds strange in one sentence :P
Those look... Amazing. Can't wait to see the awesome skin you'll give Dicsus.QFT
Mauler looks amazing. I might get shot for this, but I think Discus looks quite good as is. All shiny and pristine and such.
Instead of having a solid color, you might want to try a pattern instead.
Powered steering units = ABSOLUTE FAILURE in DSL 2.1 and StockOnce again, not used for "ultimate combat effectiveness omg", just trying to stay authentic to the inspiration. ;)
Though I should really power them up.

I could not fit NPCs into the design and not have them sticking out the sides, which just doesn't fit with my design/build style. 4 TWM4 Drive's with hypnos was the best solution to my problem. ;)Exactly what I was trying to say, honestly, Nar's such a meanie, shall we kill him?
Great looking bot, but you want to get at least 2 Small JXRs on this for good flipping power.BSG's are surprisingly good. I think it's because of their high initial speed.

It's not meant to be...*sigh* ...It's meant to be realistic. It's not meant to be a super mega ultra killer bot, it's meant to be the sort of bot you'd see in Robot Wars.

DSL shouldn't be "about" anything, it's what you make of it, as long as you are demonstrating skill at the game, you deserve respect.Contradiction. Why should skills matter when it's not "about" anything?
As such, DSC has a lot of respect from me.
Invertable?
I'd almost like to see the wheels.
DSC, send me all of your bots tommorow. I wanna see which one is the best :P
I'll do the AI'ing, don't worry.
The entire weapon setup is on an axle
Would you be able to suggest an alternative to the ramplate then?
Pro Tip: Pause the game during the countdown, the use the F10 camera and get it into position. Then unpause and begin filming.other tip:
I've been working on a new bot, would you like to see?
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c264/dragonsteincole/RA2/DTKT.png)
If I make signups in time, this will be my Battlebots 3.0 entry. Effectively a SHW version of Warhead, hence the 'Carbon Copy' nickname i've given this. Arms lower and raise, disc is very similar in style to Scrap's Demigod (weapons mounted between discs to offer better protection, also looks cool visually.)
I reckon Thyrus should get AU first, personally. But that's besides the point. Very nice bot, though I liked the previous weapon setup better. And I'm still not a fan of the use of Metal Hinge wedges.
Nothing, I reckon it'd look better without. And I don't think IRL-style bots use that sort of wedges as a means of offense, they'd just dig into the arena. Small wedge component on a skirt hinge if you really need something there.
Wordy post incoming, lolz.
First off, I'm not looking for an AU because it would just be egotistical of me to think I deserve one, when I've not done anything special. I just make pretty bots. :approve:
Second point, I do concede that the skirts aren't really required or necessary on this front-mounted spinner, it's almost gotten to the point where I add them out of habit rather than style. I'll keep the ones on the rear though as decoration, they're purely cosmetic at the back. Weapon will stay because as nice as the last one was, for BB3 it was the wrong choice. Who says I couldn't make them interchangeable though? ;)
Lastly, i'm not uploading this to the bot exchange. The great thing about IRL-style building is that it can inspire people to make something like it, and it's also easy to figure out how to build it as well. There's no trickery or glitch to most IRL bots, it's just using what you have to make the coolest thing you can. :)
Just for the record Naryar, I enter tournaments because I have the time to, because I've not been told I cannot, and because I like to enter something that would add a little variety to it. I'm not going to be foolish and claim I can build efficient bots to a decent standard, but I find it quite telling that there are a lot of people who can build very efficiently, yet you seem to be the only one who will feel like they have to post about it, and talk in quite a condescending way. You could still learn a lot from your peers here and accept that some people don't build to your supposed standard, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Do you not learn anything?
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c264/dragonsteincole/RA2/Pincushion.png)you know I love you right?
Love the skirts on ResPAwn. Carbon Copy is cool too, but I miss the tail D:v5 is a heavyweight robot, it has a tail that acts as a srimech, but I think making it into a HW bot compromises it a lot. I may try to make a HW version of v7 so it runs invertible, but it's a lot harder to self-right with a spinning weapon at that angle - the bot just turns in mid air and stays upside down.
So there's still improvements to be made. Fair enough. Although I have to admit 090901's comment has sorta despressed me a bit. I don't seem to be having much luck with new stuff, and it's been that way for over a year. Revisiting older machines gives me something to aim for at least.Great now I feel like a terrible person now :dumb)
I personally don't like it... but it doesn't have a suiting skin yet and I'll probably love it after it does
That obv. is not the final skin for Sir Lance-a-Frog, sorry if I was unclear when I posted the image(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3757Renekton.jpg)
This, however, is the final skin for the 4th BB6 'update', SUPER KOMODO
(http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c264/dragonsteincole/RA2/SuperKomodo_zpsd6df123e.png)
Arms are improved, self-rights, middle spike strip pumps up and down when another bot is on top. Faster, Harder, Better, Stronger.
2 long grey batts or 3 ants should be able to power it. 2 long greys will last longer though.Well I have 2 grey and 4 ants, so on the safe side then.
I'd use a plow for the back capture. The side spikes aren't doing anything really. A simple 40 cm or 80 cm sheet out the back would work better for a back stabilizer rather than the way you have it set up now.
you can`t find them cause they are not in dsl 3. The plows come from Whams Tourneypack I guess?
What happens when you expose a normal Manta to radiation? You get Gamma Raze... :dumb)

I'm sorry about you missing the deadline, hah. There's always another opportunity for... Glory... in the future ;)
Love the upgraded Frog, and with Frog in the semi-finals of another certain tournament, I'd say that it's done fine in its career

The deadline thing was my fault. I'd seen you mention to someone else that the signups were closed, and the production done for the video, so I guessed there was no point in asking the same question.
But is Frog fighting in another tournament? Did someone else submit him? :question:
I prefer how it is like that
The images were taken from the botlab, where everything jiggles about when a bot is stationary. So the leading edge is on the ground level, and also hinged so it stays there.Ah I see, that's really moved a lot, but then again we're talking about DSL here which is extra shaky.
Holy crap, dude. I was just building one and there's no way I can top this.There is always another way to do something, always a better way to build something. I got lucky in that I had been working on a similar idea that I happened to be able to repurpose for this.
It looks like a turtleyep
Yeah, there was a Pokemon themed tournament a while back.I guess I was super-eager to enter then. :eek:
Wow, that looks awesome as hell! I love the lifting arm in particular, it really has a scorpion-like feel to it. Kinda reminds me of the Series 5 version of Wild Thing. Looking forward to seeing it in action!The scorpion thing is more than just coincidence. Carbonize started out life back in 2010 or 2011 as a Warhead-style SHW, and evolved many times since then.
Hope people don't flip their sh** about there being more than one bot being posted. I know it's apparently a sin nowadays.
Green Pea kind of reminds me of a praying mantis.
Also colored DSL discs when :V
Next is CryogeniXs (I dont know why I like the second capital in the name all of a sudden.) Rebuilt with the new aluminium armour, which took about 70Kg off the weight. Still not a great bot either, but another learning experience.Nice biohazard-clone bot.

IRL Pack 3 :V The wedgelets were supposed to be in the 2nd pack, but the combination of renaming and staring at thousands of files, and the pack being big enough as it was made me postpone them, along with another thing nobody has mentioned yet.
So does the bar underneath the drone spin?Yes, there's a piglet slammed right in the middle of the hovermotor at an angle. which is why both are really just for looks.
Yeah... I think i'm a very distant 2nd to Thyrus in IRL building.
What's the point of me trying to build a boxer now?

Hot.... Maybe cold. Very nice, though would a heavy spike work better than a razor?At 799.1Kg, there's not enough weight for an Iron Spike.

Hey. If there's a second International Wars, you could enter this to represent the Dead Sea.I see why you had difficulty entering the first one.
I swear, they're putting something in the water. Viagra maybe? You guys should hatesex the tension away.
The only thing I don't like about the bot is the spikes on the wheels, imo they look kinda sillyNot if it's a Beedrill...kinda
Imma be honest I think you should move on from Carbonize, it's a cool bot but we've seen so much of it that it's got stale, at least for me.But...but Carbonaxe has a flippy nose...
Is this your SHW for our challenge? If so, you're gonna feel pretty cheated when you see my design after all the work you've put into this. :dumb)
But did you build to the weight limit
Looks really nice. Would even look better with wide wheels :PThis. Still looks lovely as is though.

Interesting idea on the previous rules with the cluster shuffler, I'd assume the rest of the bot is a 1600kg roller as at the time you didn't need both bots to have the same drive type.
Loving all the bots for RG2, the LW especially. Really neat
