Welcome to my DSL showcase. I am (as shown by my total number of posts) new to this forum and I have only been playing DSl for approx half a year.

This is First Blood, my first ever proper IRL robot and my entrant into Deathmatch 2. It has Aluminium armour, Titanium frame, wheels are powered by Wyachi magmotors and my spinner is powered by a Perm. It has a good weapon but is unbearably slow.

Sorry for the bot dump but theres quite a few I have waiting to be showcased:

Next is Horizon Line, a 'pneumatic' flipper that can barely lift a robot up and may occasionally be able to topple one over. The flippers don't reset correctly and it is also unbearably slow because weight limitations. Its armour is Aluminium with an Aluminium frame. Its flipper is also aluminium and its wheels are powered by two normal NPCs. It looks nice though

Finally, there is my newest creation, inspired by Magnetar and Pulsar , Get Framed.

It has an Aluminium Frame and its back and top have Aluminium plates, but as the name suggests the majority of the armour is just a frame, the idea is so that it can trap weapons in it and control them (it totally isn't that I ran out of weight or anything). Its discs are made of steel and are powered by a Perm. Its drive is 2 NPC fasts. Its only issue is it can struggle to self right.

These are pretty good newbie bots, though I cannot comprehend the shape of out "Horizon Line" at all. I would recommend putting a bottom plate on "get framed" since most framed robots have bottoms in the real world.

Also, if you have multiple robots, please only post one post with each robot.

These look pretty good for a new user. Way better than most of the 'vets' who try to roast me (and fail)

You should put somekind of bottom on them though

Thanks!

Just a question, I tried to link multiple images but I couldn't figure out how, please could you tell me how it works.

I will also attempt to fit in a bottom into Horizon Line and Get Framed.

It should be as simple as clicking on that button and repeating as needed.

Ooo new blood! Great bot for a rook. I dont suggest using Mags for drive (TWM motors) as they are wery slow on heavyweights.

FlamesOfIce · « **Reply #11 on:** July 10, 2018, 02:12:19 AM »

I have added a bottom panel onto Get Framed, and also got it under the weight limit. Here are some bonus shots from the sides and back as well

You seem to have all the makings of a decent IRL builder, keep it up

Good bot, but I suggest that you should crop your pictures, with one for external pic and one for internal pic. You can use MS Paint for that

Keep doing you bud. Try and develop your own style as you learn. You've got all the basics down.

pokebro14 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2018, 12:33:10 AM »

Nice work bud. you've already surpassed some users in my opinion.Loving first blood and get Framed

Billy5545 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2018, 12:56:54 AM »

Yeah, your bots are awesome. And I suggest entering them to tournaments. Orc's Wars Overclocked is now in Signup, and you can send bots in Destruction Evolution for it's third season

Thanks! Ive already entered First Blood into deathmatch and I've applied Get Framed into Orc Wars New Blood. I didn't know that Destruction Evolution was accepting season 3 signups. I think I'll make an entirely new heavyweight for that. Maybe a Kamikaze style bot.

After the utter failure of Horizon Line, I had an urge to retry it. Therefore, here is the ultimate L O N G B O I, Horizon Line 2, this time featuring an actually effective flipper!

FlamesOfIce · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2018, 02:59:29 PM »

Should I enter it into a tournament?
