Helloface's DSL IRL sh**case

[TheUnknownRobotics]

also you still on on your easy DSL hybrid ? alright... HS/Dustpan

Delayed reaction, but I'll try to think of something.

Anyways, here's what was going to be an artbot but actually turned out to be pretty good.
(Image removed from quote.)

Everything attached to the aluminium extenders is on a Tornado Mer motor. It's very stable and can get some good hits in, surprisingly.

I feel like stealing this. Looks great man. I agree with Maz, it needs a skin.

[helloface]

I like it. Very Battlebots-y.

Stick a decent skin on it and it'll look great.

Thanks guys. I'll try to think of some type of skin but I doubt I'll have much time to make a decent one.

Kinda want to learn DSL-S. Give me some advice because I've really got no clue what I'm doing.



St5, 247.8. It can beat the lower tier bots in NAR AI pretty easily but it's of course pretty meh.

[Naryar]

use only razors. iron spikes are meh.

Or at least use iron spikes on the outside to trap stuff.

extender setup needs to be fixed. make it so the extenders are less vulnerable.

it seems a bit slow and a bit wide for a pusher, but maybe it can work.

Abuse the hell out of Flippermakers. 3kg for 1000HP and almost as useful AP's as a regular extender.
I also think you could probably get the chassis tighter with a more regular shape. I tend to use an ever-so-slightly rhombus-ed rectangle.
I'd encourage you personally to try and find enough weight to upgrade the drive motors at least a bit :)

DSL-S BW. It's good except for the titanium extender weakpoint.

[RedAce]

O hai Puncture III. It's okay, but I can't really offer much more to say without making it a exact clone of said bot.

Edit: Wait a minute, am I now seeing an ant stacked in a motor, or am I going crazy?

[Badnik96]

Impressive, but DSL-S still has a loose realism rule. DSL-S used to be near-IRL in building styles until the wedge wars and flails really got popular, and to its became more optimized. The realism rule is a remnant of that.

That's why I'm posting here. Don't know too much about DSL-S other than the basics. Thanks, btw.

[Reier]

DSL "S" is the one true DSL

but can't you just put the ant between the NPCs?

[helloface]

I think I can put one of those small control boards in it.

[playzooki]

or you could turn it into a dsl unrealistic bot, im thinking of doing an unrealistic tourney but i cant decide between dsl and ironforge

what have you been smoking ?

the only time DSL-S was close to IRL is when people entered tryhard DSL-S bots in IRL tournaments to win them. and yes, i was once one of them.

[helloface]

Good god, it has been over a year.

[helloface]

Here's my annual robot.
