GRB 090423's DSL Showcase

Looks a bit messy but it makes it up in combat worthiness (it can out-wedge(?) Hope No More 4 & Imperium II,although it has to be a quite high collison;and i'm pretty sure i've created this new type of wedge).

where is hope no more in nar ai? sorry for noob question, but i want to test my wedge with it.

That's not even a barrel spinner... You'll need to spin the chassis without spinning the drive pods, or contain the chassis inside the drum. Take a look at my own FBD: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,10600.msg514825.html#msg514825 or Squirrel_Monkey's robot in the Battlebots tournament: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,7183.0.html for an example (preferably S_M's - mine's not exactly presentable). Also, welcome to the FBD club.

phoenyx,the chassis is in the drum? but i understand the spinning bit (& if you look at my post earlier I clearly say 'i think')

If you want the chassis to spin independently from the wheels, take out your drive motors, replace them with E-Teks, then build a pod on each side with a drive motor, wheel, and two casters each. Experiment with it. It takes practice to build FBDs. I admit I got lucky with mine, but don't expect your first attempt to be a success.

By the way, how well does your current design do?

I was just building a FBD,my current Version is pretty good against bots with a wedge,terrible against VS,FnS,Sheck spinners.
The FBD i just created has 2 E-teks inside the chassis (not connected to drive motors)
