Guldenflame's showcase, but it's DSL

Hello, you're in the land of Pieces of Crap and the occasional Shining star.
Please enjoy your stay.
I have a weird obsession with Clamp bots.
So I made this.
Diet includes this weird thing that reminds me of Captain Shrederator, Fruity punch, and occasionally snow job.
Pros: Traps opponents of all sizes. Does great damage. Tears off multiple pieces at once.
Cons: Batteries fail quickly. Slow Side spinners (I used drive motors, because I believe they have more torque?).
Impressed with the work of Stinger in battlebots, I decided to recreate him. It evolved multiple times until finally ending with this.
It has a small balance problem at the moment.
Pros: Fast, good wedge, flips/grinds opponents well.
Cons: Balance when weapon is on. Exposed motors.
Keep wedges aligned with chassis.
Pay attention to the battery lengths per motor.
Hinge > Sheets any day.
Make the smallest chassis possible.
Bigger weapon = Bigger punt
Avoid messy extender work
Weapon support makes bots gorgeous.
Srimechs=Boring
Stop using multi-extenders for IRL bots.
Have wheels either all in or all out.

They are both pretty damm nice but I think the clamper may need a bit more of a powerful drive.

Impressed with my work on remote controll, I decided to make a more effective clamp.
Dine And Dash
A less threatening name, but much more effective bot. Hitting insane speed and now with a srimech, It does insanely well.
Remember,
DON'T FEED THE BOTS
They can't digest human food very well
Pros: Great clamping action. Srimech. Crushes with amazing force.
Cons: Tough to self right

Forget the extra srimech, it's wasted weight. Stop using the tallest batteries and make the chassis low enough so the most can run upside down. Use the extra weight you gain from that to all most weaponry, right now this bot is gonna get outweaponed easily by a MW.
Instead of just sticking sheets out of the front of the bot, make a wedge using a skirt hinge and attach a shirt on the middle attachment point.

I wanted to make a giant wheel on wheels once. It didn't work quite as I thought.
It has the ability flip and KO bots easily, as long as it can get under them.
The armor on the sides is to keep it from getting stuck on its side, which was a huge problem at first.
Pros: Fairly fast, Extremely powerful, Plastic 10 armor.
Cons: Useless against better wedges, Uninvertable.

It's quite messy. The chassis is very heavy and bulky, try a V-shape instead. You also don't need the side armor. All you need to do is to expose the wheels (yes, that does present a weakness but it helps with retaining stability). Not being invertible is not that much of a problem with VSes, as the motor is usually strong enough to kick itself back up.
So yeah, it could be cleaner, but it's nice to see some creative solutions out of some problems.

Ah, space, such a great place.
Space project: Pros: Powerful flipper, Fairly good speed.
Cons: Srimech can fail. Exposed wheels.
Launch pad: Pros: Made a lightweight hit the ceiling of the combat arena.
Cons: Exposed wheels. Still haven't studied what all it can do.

Generic, and not very good. Double or triple the size of that spinner - give it some real punting power.

My first attempt at a Swiss army bot. Meet the mechanic and all his tools.
Typo on the flipper, it actually weighs 395.7.
I added a ant battery at the last moment.

Incoming bots for the Sword of Glory tournament.
Also note that some might still change or be different in the tournament itself.
Ignore the typos, and good luck to all.
Remember advice is still very much appreciated.
I could use it...

your bots are nice to look at and you've got good ideas, but the bots are either fragile, slow or both.
also, you need to learn how to make small chassis and fit all the components in the chassis.

I'd try to improve the visual looks more, use different, more fitting parts, export the skin template and edit it in paint.net and you'll hopefully quickly get better looking bots.

Sacrificing speed, damage, and reliability of the old version for a better wedge, stronger flipper, and better durability.
Launch pad returns with an actual skin.

Aside from the extender work between those fronts wedges, I say this is a pretty neat bot.

I decided to make the Battle B- robots their own archetype.
For some reason the game keeps crashing whenever I try to skin it, so the paint schemes are gonna suck for now.
It will never hold a finger to Launch pad 2 though...

Those are looking nice now, also crash when importing the texture? Make sure you exported it as 24 bit bitmap.

Thanks, didn't notice I had the Default bitmap.
I've fixed the skins.
And why not show off a new bot?
Names a bot OCD: gives it a 1 tooth spinner.
100% not based off Disco inferno.
I'll be honest, not a lot of work went into that one, but I wanted to make some more Cruiserweights. They're fun.
