G.K.'s DSL Builds

[Scorpion]

Hmph, fine then! ;P

[G.K.]

I said it AFTER your suggestion.

[Naryar]

LW flamer hybrided(that's a word now) with a clamp or side hammer?

lolololol that is going to fail horribly

Oh, and i meant large DS teeth, not spike strips.

And a LW juggler wouldn't?

Besides, I don't think it would be that hard to do anyway.

[Naryar]

LW jugglers can be made good (see R0B0's one in BBEANS6). Clamp/flamers or clamp/side hammers, however...

[Scorpion]

Side hammer/flamer?

Besides, why are you so sure it'd be no good?

Weird hybrids are never good in LW class. You don't have the weight to make both weapon systems competitive compared to pure-type robots.

Good point, though both bot types here don't really need to much weight focused on them, apart from maybe the power source problem.

[Naryar]

Let us see... Already 36 kg of power components minimum (4 ants, 1 small Puma, 1 CB). The drive probably would weight 70 kg, so that's 106. Side hammer, at the very least 50. 156. Flamer, 186. Extender work, minimum 195. Chassis, 210.

And then you have only 40 kg to spend on wedge and armor. More like 20kg on armor.

Plus it would be probably unbalanced, hence not going straight, hence getting screwed by popups. And have no more than 3-4 razors on it's weapon, hence getting screwed by rammers/SnS/FSS.

Need I add more ?

[Scorpion]

Very well, you win this round Nar ;P

None the less, it'd be a fun little bit of experimentation.

[G.K.]

Had this a while:

[Somebody]

Use up that weight. Its enough for Overkill wheels, or another battery, or a randomly placed razor tip.

[Naryar]

He has enough batteries already, and where the would he place that razor ?

More armor or Overkills would be a good choice.

[Somebody]

Just mentioning options.

[SKBT]

And adding to that he could also stick 2 typhoon spikes somewhere. :P

[Clickbeetle]

Is that big invertibility-killing skirt in the middle for self-righting?  Why not just make it invertible?


Almost looks like something 123 would build; just needs more chassis protection.

[Vertigo]

Might be "higher speed" with overkill wheels

No, but more hipoints.

Well *plucks up courage to disagree with clickbeetle* if he made it invertible then the potter wheels would probably be on the floor (i imagine that the front wedges keeps them off the floor when right way up) If it was invertable, when flipped over those wedges would hinder it quite a lot aswell, so making it self rightable is surely a lot better in the long run.

It was a joke, that you should understand...
