The Dynasty is complete. Young Lance-a-Frog (YLAF), Sir Lance-a-Frog (SLAF) and King Lance-a-Frog (KLAF).

YLAF is a simple face/HS spinner. Flags are to aid self-righting, but it can sometimes manage without them. All the robots now have at least 2 black batteries, after discovering the changes.

An ideal debut for these robots will be in Rob Collins' tournament currently in discussion. However, I also wouldn't mind a few challenges to test their competitiveness, or lack thereof.

For me? Aww, you're too kind. Hah, but they're amazing, man. Glad you have officially decided to stay and continue building! Looking forward to the future!

Loving the designs.

It has three horns because it... mootated.

(also some bull****about being able to self-right.)
Panels are reskinned titanium gubbins. Also probably doesn't get under people because damned if I know if there are any acceptable IRL wedges?

you can use skirts and stuff for wedges now a day without people wanting to stab with you with a stake.

bla bla bla fanboy talk bla bla

it looks fantastic. the only negative thing are the eyes that are cut off.

There are changes being made to it already. Third horn is gone because it prevented self-righting. I may take off the flipper 'support' too (it's a small medium axle extension), as in battles that has broken off and then spazzed around the arena on it's own, which is always a comforting sight. And it's getting a wedge for Rob's tourney, so I'll post the update shortly.

Also making an 'interesting' version of Carbon Copy, it will probably get a name change to Carbonize, as Carbon Copy is a bit meh.

I prefer how it is like that

I do too, but it can't self-right if flipped onto it's back in a certain way. And I know if I leave it, it's almost certain to happen in a fight and cause it's demise.

Probably Rob · « **Reply #450 on:** September 11, 2016, 04:34:06 PM »

Oh, the horn being removed is fine, but I like how the weaponry looks, especially like that

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #451 on:** September 11, 2016, 04:46:05 PM »

Weaponry is staying too, as there's no suitable extender that thin thats also 6Kg.

And Carbonize

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #452 on:** September 17, 2016, 03:09:07 PM »

Another revamp of an old bot. The weapon is more effective with the plow holding things in place, and there's now an actual working srimech.

R01 · « **Reply #453 on:** September 18, 2016, 06:43:09 AM »

Loving it, but wouldn't it be better to have the plow placed a bit lower?

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #454 on:** September 18, 2016, 07:24:45 AM »

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.

A few test bots. Cryogenics is a Biohazard clone made entirely from the armour plating (which hides some of the freaky extender work I had to do to get the corners to somewhat match up. It's not too slow, the lifter lifts, although it's not powerful, and the armour is way too heavy to be practical on most bots. Still, advantages are it can do some damage with the lifter, and against a powerful HS it tears apart quite nicely.

Teef is a LW flipper, can't self right but is very nippy. I need to develop my LW-building skills a lot more.

Then there's this, RobCollins asked for it, and I delivered. Unseen is the 6w drive like the actual robot, it's quick without flipping itself over driving in a straight line (unlike the original replica), and it's still capable of chucking stuff up into the air, even if the scoop is static and just there to aid wedging.

May have gone slightly OTT with a 'houserobot'. 2500kg weight limit, and I used 99.9% of it. Meet Silverking
