I'm bored. Here is my first ever rammer.

I am probably only going to post bots that are either awesome (but probably won't be), or bots that can be improved.
Alot of empty space, attatch the teeth on multiextenders not baseplate anchors, the poly wedges aren't doing anything, not invertible, and a bit bland. Skin? I'm happy you made a showcase though.It wasn't very well thought out.
While not terrible for a first bot, you're going to want to use up those last 120 kgs or so. Maybe grippier wheels (Hypnos)? More armor? Longer wedges?I was thinking hypnos, but I wanted more durability.
The skin is just green, and I used spike strips so it can cause damage.I'm bored. Here is my first ever rammer.

post pictures so we can see the skin too please.
instead of the spike strips maybe try something like tazbot wedges.
Just for starts, look at Scrap Daddy's showcase to get a feel for high standards of IRL.I follow a few Realistic DSL showcases. I just happen to suck.

Hypnos should be more durable than mini wheels, unless I'm mistaken.
Just keep building, it will click eventually.Just for starts, look at Scrap Daddy's showcase to get a feel for high standards of IRL.I follow a few Realistic DSL showcases. I just happen to suck.
It's underweight, add wheelguards or somethingOkay. Later I will add some spikes and crap to surround the bot.
Pretty good for a first bot, given the average level of newbies at DSL...Not my first bot. First rammer. My DSL bot was one of the worst things imaginable, and got deleted a while ago.
MAKE IT 10 WD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!Dafuq?
first off, 4WD npc fasts with hypnos should be more than enough for this bot. certain wheels are given more grip than others, and as a result hypno wheels and techno destructo wheels dominate DSL.
secondly, it i horribly underweight. you could bring it up to 800 by adding many more weapons (spamming razors, LDS teeth, or large beater bars for examples, spike strips and ripping teeth dont tend to fare well.)
last, a skirt hinge isnt very good for wedges (i have been told a few times that skirt hinges can be good, but i havent been able to pull it off, so im assuming that it doesnt happen too often.) i would suggest a metal hinge with a titanium halfsheet and then a small wedge connected to it.
you can lurk a few showcases to see how its done (see: naryar's and 123savethewhales). the first half or so of scrap daddys showcase are also good examples of effective robots. around 2011 or so his style shifts from effectiveness to "how cool can i make this robot look, i dont care about efficiency" (otherwise known as IRL building). you can either choose effective (my advice above is for effective dsl building)
thats just 090901 trying to be funny. ignore him.MAKE IT 10 WD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!Dafuq?

a srimech may not be the best use of weight i feel, maybe if you simply got it to run upside down it would be fine.
i can see this bot turning into a cool rammer/flipper hybrid. in fact i am almost compelled to go build one right now.Alright, I'll try that. Btw, I thought about turning it into a flipper/rammer hybrid but I kept it as pure rammer so it would be more aggressive as an AI.
if you were to make your front wider, the wheelgaurds would not be needed. one of the sheets in the extenders tab would also be a more efficient flipper/srimech/whatever. this should free up some weight for the extra batteries needed to fully power the beta and drive.
that's a very poor flipper you have here. If it is a srimech... you're doing it wrong.I already posted why I can't make it invertable, and two mag motors couldn't give it a schrimech so I had to use a powerful motor. I also explained already why I don't want a hybrid. I'll try the BSGs though.
as as said make it into a rammer/flipper, that's a cool hybrid. Make it less tall, invertible, use small burst motors (like 4 BSG's is just fine)
Drive is fine, it is underpowered however. Beta bursts need 220 amps - that is 22 ants (<= not recommended) 8 battlepacks or 4 large batteries.
Why would anyone attach thin poly sheets to the sides of a rapidly moving axe in real life? Think every component through.It helps with self righting.
...in the game. It wouldn't work the same IRLWhy would anyone attach thin poly sheets to the sides of a rapidly moving axe in real life? Think every component through.It helps with self righting.
NEVER going to replace discs with DSL bars. They break way too easily. DSL bars to me belong on LW and Armour. And yes, I'm aware that DSL bars are stronger (don't know why I didn't use them in the first place) than flipper makers. I'm not at my computer right now so I can't fix that yet.
In addition, instead of baseplate anchors use Multiextenders. Meh. I have a lot of leftover weight, and I'm way too lazy to redo it.
You should use 1 ant battery per spin motor (4 for good measure) You crazy, foo! More amps = more power
and you might want to consider using a more powerful motor for that, if you wanna stick with the team whyachi's go with the 6-mag I tried that, and I couldn't fit enough batteries because of weight and space.
It's pretty underweight too. See what you can do about that, maybe you can knock up the armor a bit or something. Yeah, I've been thinking about that so I don't really know what I'm going to do.
I am not crazy. It's pretty common knowledge that you can fully power every spin motor with 1 ant battery.In addition, instead of baseplate anchors use Multiextenders. Meh. I have a lot of leftover weight, and I'm way too lazy to redo it.

That is overpowered. Might want to remove an ant or two.What?
Meh. I've got some extra space and weight.That is overpowered. Might want to remove an ant or two.What?
He should remove all the tall black batteries and just leave 6 ants. 6 ants is more than enough to power the robot for 3 minutes.
You probably want to use Tornado wheels, and use a Multi-Extender, they save weight. If i were you, i'd probably get rid of the large brown batterys to save weight for Ti10.
No, Tite 3 is weak asYou probably want to use Tornado wheels, and use a Multi-Extender, they save weight. If i were you, i'd probably get rid of the large brown batterys to save weight for Ti10.
No. 3 Tit. is more than enough.
Naryar is king of IRL.
I am king of everything, baby !
Now for advice :
-Needs far less batteries, keep 5 ants for a spinner with 3 spin motors. Minimum you need 3, but 5 or even 6 so your batts don't fail after 2 minutes of fighting. I'm confused about amps. I thought large motors need lots of batteries?
-Use multiextenders rather than baseplate anchors I said it already: Too lazy, still have extra weight
-That motor extender work is doubtful... i don't get why you make a X-shaped thing I know, it's terrible but I suck at extender work
-S3 wheels are pretty bad statswise but if you want to keep them for cool looks you may consider going E-tek drive I already said this. I am changing it when I get the time, but at the moment there are two other tournaments that I need entries for, AIing for my tournement that needs to be done, and LOADS of lacrosse.
-Build to weight limit. always. Will do later
-Needs more armor. External or chassis armor, your pick. (see previous answer)
How are the hammers not cutting into the batteries?Wat .-.
I know, High score and perfect score :)
And nope, wasn't IFI. Do you honestly think Ride The Lightning (although it is totally kickass) could beat IFI?
That better be not a robot you got for your tourney you are testing on, it's pretty unfair you can go and test on peoples robots and find the weaknesses of their robots and then update your robot to beat them. (You aren't even allowed to update your robot in the first place, so I have no idea how you are being allowed to. You didn't even have your robot posted when the thread was moved to signups, which was required too.)The only update I've done since I got entries were the wheel guards because they got ripped off 80% of the time in team HQ. I just tested both these bots because they both had bindings troubles.
lol since when was getting under IRL bots an achievement? It isn't, I was just saying that because Flamethrower Mk.2 is an IRL bot and people have been questioning the abilities of the Scoop.
If that's a standard bot then you need a hinge wedge of some description. I never do standard.
Also you can use less Co2 and shrink the chassis. Less Co2 I agree, but I think the chassis are already good.
Weight? Plastic 10, 398.8kg.
If it's IRL then can I see its skin?I didn't really make a big skin for it, but if you really want to see it I'll upload it.
If the vlad spike goes into the flamethrower it's unrealistic, It doesn't having the burst motor on the outside of the chassis is unrealistic in this case as well Don't understand how that's not realistic.. The plow being held on by a plastic extender just looks flimsy and would break on contact IRL. Fair enough. I'll remove a Co2 tank and switch it to Aluminum.
My point still stands about the burst motor.THERES A STEEL WALL IN FRONT OF IT ::2mad
For the motor, I guess. It would help. But change all those Poly extenders for some variety of metal, then you won't need Flippermaker's on the Plow extender, and it'll help give a more IRL feel to the motor extender.Dooooneee. You can*t expect it to be perfect.
Yeah, but we can expect it to be competent. No offence, but the design's a wee bit stupid. It's got this huge stick flying up from the robot attached to an awkwardly placed burst motor. Then, you got this off-centered flamethrower which is too high to burn flatter robots. Sorry, but to put it bluntly, you need a redesign.It actually does work decently. It may look odd, but it isn't as bad as you would think.
It's June...Grad is tomorrow for me. I*m a Canadian in Elementary school, so It*s probably way different then your calendar.
does it look like a real robot?It is hard to determine that because the concept is unique, but I think it could pass as IRL.
if yes, yay you build your first irl robutt that looks irl.
if no then try again.
Full pic of the bot plsI have two versions. The standard-older one which I entered into our tournament, and the new irl version which I entered into BB7. I*m assuming you want to see our team*s bot, so I will upload it tomorrow.
lol who in the world would put a flamethrower on like thatI had to move it over to the side so the spike didn't go through it.
why not mount the flamethrower internally then, you should have space.Because you would see random flames shooting out of a plow and it wouldn't look realistic.
KGs are now 249.7.

Somehow, no. It basicly defies the laws of physics. Does that mean it's an scp?

Not sure if that's IRL or not-when people cant tell if its IRL or not, something is obviously VERY wrong with your robot.

ps downgrade to a single mag NO. then you should have the weight to make at least a half-decent motor support instead of... that. try 2 long round extenders on MEs coming from the front angles of the chassis I already lowered the armour to fit that in..

Look mate, you need Standard for IRL. Some damn tricky extender work must be done for IRL, and DSL Realistic, hell, possibly Stock teach you that well.
So for gods sake listen.
Funny thing is i hadnt really seen the bot. I actually was just putting in my 2 cents (or pence) on the advice. But i just saw the bugger.Titanium was too heavy, ant blade was there because I had extra weight, and I already made a replacement.
I would prefer sulfuric acid IN MY EYES rather than seeing that again. Atleast put titanium extenders or SOMETHING on there! And also what the heck is up with the ant blade and plate!? (My lord i have forgotten what the plate thing is called, that's how long i have been away.) And even the attaching of THAT is bad. It may be time to make Flea 15.
Use the extra weight on better extender work then god damn it. And if you've already fixed it then SHOW US THE NEW VERSION. How many times do we have to say it?:facepalm: Seriously? What part of REPLACEMENT ROBOT don't you people understand?

IRL are full of terrible parts that DSL-S would never touch with a 10 foot pole. The problem here is that the bot doesn't "appear" to work with real life physics.
Learn 2 crop bro. Sorry, I guess I forgotDon't use ME outside the chassis I'll change the ones holding the DSL bars together, but not the ones between the wheels., Beta hammers are illegal in BB7 That's weird, I thought they weren't. Maybe I was thinking of another tournement., the off-centered hammer is a little weird Weird but effective, axe heads seem a little out of place I had some spare weight..
Learn 2 crop bro. Don't use ME outside the chassis, Beta hammers are illegal in BB7, the off-centered hammer is a little weird, axe heads seem a little out of place.You said all Beta extras other than the battery and the hammer is in the extras tab......
Don't use ME outside the chassis I'll change the ones holding the DSL bars together, but not the ones between the wheels.
You realize they are doing absolutely nothing right? If they fall of, literally nothing will happen. They are purely aesthetic, aside from the ones in the back which I changed. The only reason why I used MEs were because the odd lengths provided the illusion that they were in the chassis.Don't use ME outside the chassis I'll change the ones holding the DSL bars together, but not the ones between the wheels.
Why? Do you still not understand Multi Extenders?
When attached directly to baselate, like the first component, they cannot be broken off. If they are connected to anything else (eg the ME on the ME between the wheels) they are EXTREMELY weak and an aluminium extender is the same weight with better HP, the only downside to an Alu extender to a ME is that it doesn't connect to baseplate - that is all you should use MEs for. So change it.
words and stuff1) From an aesthetic standpoint, ME's are zero, zilch and nada. They're fugly and look really messy in extender work
words and stuff1) From an aesthetic standpoint, ME's are zero, zilch and nada. They're fugly and look really messy in extender work I might re-skin them to black.
2) If you're going for what I think you're going for, don't bother. AI care not for infinite HP parts and will attack them all the same. But if you're going for what I actually think you're going for, I'd just use a normal extender. What. :confused:
3) I would replace those back ME's with a shell plate (it's what I did on Orsimer, which has a similar thing going on around the wheels) and then put a shorter DSL bar on the shell plate, then put a longer one on the end of that. Hopefully the rule of seven will comply with that. I already replaced the rear MEs with normal extenders.
I made the best robot ever.you finally got the hang of building. respect.
it doesnt really matter whether or not you use a small wedge or not. the wedge is going to be horrible either way, but since its IRL its not like wedge quality really matters.

"Jet Fighter"
109lbs (395 weight) and Aluminium 5 armour.
is that a 2-mag powering the shell? because thats not really enough. i'd replace all those teeth with razors, get a bigger motor for the weapon and replace the razor/extender thing at the top with an 80cm skirt.Believe it or not, it was much better before. It did some damage, then shed most of its razors, then flipped itself :/
an inside shot would also help
hypno wheels > dsl wheels.:facepalm:
2 ants > 5 ants.
personally i'd have beater bars on the hinges with razors sticking up from them, which will help a lot with armour and damage. Will do. also you only need a tite skirt at most for the wedge I know. It was originally a Polycarbonate skirt, but I had A LOT of leftover weight.
It's not a bad idea, just needs to be done differently. Just make it a HW.It would be a lot better as an HW, but the point of making it was so I could have a SHW vs Mystic. I guess I will build another SHW and trim that one to a HW.
I really can't see what those beaters are going to achieve.Actually, they're more likely to hit than the hypnos since hypno teeth have a tiny collision mesh, although they are fairly strong if you can get them to hit.
It's not about winning d00d.

Does crappy damage, but the pickaxe goes well with the theme. Probably going to be my 2nd LW in Paranoia AI. May be the primary LW for Alpha 0.4. Rear spikes for looks and so it doesn't get caught on its back. Self-rights very well.
Another Paranoia bot: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/379033983 tit3 or 5.png)
It's called "Don't Tread On Me". I'm probably going to give it a camoflage skin and put "KEEP OFF THE GRASS" somewhere.
It's really powerful, but prone toPushkinother hammers/axes.

a larger, farther out weapon would be much more realistic and eye-pleasing.I completely agree, but I can't use the MOE motor because it's banned in Rob's tourney.
nope dont even need a moe motor. just put the perm on the outside and get a larger weapon. me -> hexplate -> perm should work and give you some APs to have motor protection (i recommend flipper-makers for this) set up on. then have the two V supports like you already have and it should be good.a larger, farther out weapon would be much more realistic and eye-pleasing.I completely agree, but I can't use the MOE motor because it's banned in Rob's tourney.

Quick question: How do I wire a bot using the omni drive system?You need to put servos or any motor facing up, and then don't put steering on the main motors going forward, and just wire the steering on the servo/motor facing up. I'll give you an example bot.

I just posted it as a joke. Just to let you guys know I'm brainstorming. I'm thinking of a Robawt x Bailiff type thing at the moment, but I'm not sure how that will work out.
What exactly am I looking at?Kind of the same deal as Robawt. Just thought I'd try something new.
But this can't be done IRL. If you're building standard then we can start working on improving it.Why not?
But this can't be done IRL. If you're building standard then we can start working on improving it.
But the speed at which a bsg moves at is different. That's why when peope make saw clamp bots, they yuse servos, , in RA2 of course.Yeah, I guess so. It is really debatable, but I guess I can try a clamp.
Also, motors sticking out of the back? That is definitely NOT IRL in my opinion I'll extend the chassis a bit.. Also, motor protection for the Piglet? Not practical. It was my understanding that the high hp was so it could be externally mounted.
Yeah, high HP so it can be externally mounted... in Standard DSL2.1, the way you claim to not play. How many HP does a motor that size have in real life? I mean I could be completely incorrect but surely it'd end up being quite expensive putting a motor in that situation...Well it is quite thicker than most motors and I believe it is also reinforced.
I like Full Throttle. It looks very nice. For the skin... how 'bout flames?Thank you : )

73.7, pl1. It's called Reactor.
Ghey.
Stick to the standard weight classes, dude.Fine. :/
These just look like something I'd have posted when I first joined.
How would I do that? The chassis is VERY tight. I'll think of away to put more razors on though.Mount the drive like this:
Mount the drive like this:Don't use NPCs for weapon motors, the chassis isn't protected enough, get some bottom protection. More advice later.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/238Cutting%20Wedge%20IV%202.png)
Why would you even post a failure like this ?So I can adjust everything when I re-do the chassis.
Yeah, I was going to mount the drives like that but for some stupid reason it wouldn't let me. That's the main reason why I'm re-doing the chassis. I use a titanium sheet for bottom protection, correct? And what would I use for chassis protection? DSL bars?Mount the drive like this:Don't use NPCs for weapon motors, the chassis isn't protected enough, get some bottom protection. More advice later.

nowhere near enough drive or weapons, swap the irons for razors and swap the npc's for piglets or mags. shrink the chassis and try to make it wider (and possibly angle the weapons inwards so it isn't a flat wall that can't gutrip)Will do the iron --> razor transition, and swap out for piglets. I was already going to do that with the chassis. I will also try to angle the weapons.
It beat one of Mazakari's DSL-S bots :dumb)
nice advice, certainly this will help his building 10-fold.It beat one of Mazakari's DSL-S bots :dumb)

Because it was totally meant to be advice and not just an off-hand bit of banter. :thumbupif you dont have anything helpful to say, just dont post. simple as that honestly...

yep coming along nicely. just need a few more weapons on there, maybe downgrade the wheels to large ant wheels. if youre using NPC fast motors you could downgrade them to regular NPCs.Alright, tomorrow I will do that then send it off to your tournament.
saw botDone.
too slowYeah, probably. I did it really fast so it's not quite efficient. In fact, I'm not sure if it even works at all!

By making the drum smaller, shrinking the chassis, getting rid of those steel extenders, and choosing a better armour like Titanium 3, you could probably make that a Lightweight with the same amount of weapons, and with a better looking weapon structure too.

This is my 1337th post also. Yay. k
The name doesn't match the robot. A "skull crusher" would be a robot with an axe, not a drum.True, I'll make another name.
That bot is pretty nice, but I don't want to replicate anything.
is how you irl drumbot.
look at some pictures of real robots and try to replicate them.
Yeah, like skbt but with a drum instead of an eggbeaterI could do that. I'll try both and see whichever is best.

They both just look ugly.

Sorry helloface but I'm gonna have to agree with the majority here. If you want to build robots for the purpose of winning, try DSL-S. Otherwise, you just aren't going to improve.
Nah, that's a crap wedge.The wedge is actually pretty good.
Make it invertible aswell.
The front looks kinda exposed but it looks awesome nonetheless.Thanks man.
Loving the extender decoration you did with the perms.
is that irl or dsl realistic or something between both styles ?IRL, though I might be able to make it into a HW DSL-S. Also the DSL bar above the drum is a srimech, but for some reason it gltiches through the floor a lot. I'm going to test it more later.
Looks cool. Make it invertible or add a srimech though.
Looks better than before, you still need to move the wedges back though so they don't look extremely flimsy.I'll try to learn how to BFE it back, although I'll probably need some help doing it.

I am too. I can't move it any farther back without BFEing.He's talking about the small wedges on metal hinges.Looks better than before, you still need to move the wedges back though so they don't look extremely flimsy.I'll try to learn how to BFE it back, although I'll probably need some help doing it.

try making better looking wheel guardsTweedy told me to replace my old DSL bar wheelguards with extenders so blame Tweedy :P
I said make them out of some sort of extenders rather than dsl bars, not replace them with a singular extender.try making better looking wheel guardsTweedy told me to replace my old DSL bar wheelguards with extenders so blame Tweedy :P

Change the name to "Chaos 2". Now there's a name nobody's used before.I call BS
also, if you unselect "snap to grid", you can make the chassis bigger and n00bier.
Kill your wedgeThen the wedge would be even worse.
Very warhead like.Shhhhhh....
That's actually pretty cool.
Perhaps angle the back of the chassis and make something out of extenders rather than using the replica's arm?/idea
It's IRL, it doesn't matter if the weapon choice sucks.But it shouldn't look awkward. If you're putting wedges like that on anyways, you're obviously trying to win.

Yeah, I was actually wondering if the axes might look too fragile. I might add some wing supports if it doesn't look too messy. As for compact, it's already quite tight. I tried replacing the rear arm with an axe but it didn't look right. Maybe an interchangeable rear weapon?
I'm bad at skinning and it honestly stresses me out a lot.Just get gimp and learn. It straight up helps.
I'll learn it eventually. Like I said it stresses me out a lot, and I'm going through a lot of stress right now so I don't need any more. Sometime this year I'll learn how to properly skin.I'm bad at skinning and it honestly stresses me out a lot.Just get gimp and learn. It straight up helps.
Looks pretty cool. Any way you could make the side extenders more discreet though?Wish I could make the side extenders better. Unfortunately the drums are slightly symmetrical and one side pokes out. The extenders were an afterthought to hide that.
Anyway, maybe an axe or a VS would look good? Or a flipper would look pretty cool.
The wedges look stupid.i think if he used angled skirts it would look kinda nice

Did some building at my friend's house.

RC Car
Lightweight
+ Looks funny
- Flips at every opportunity, car steering, ridiculous ground clearance
Thoughts; I like how this one turned out.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22738MW.jpg)
Join Us
Middleweight
+ Good damage, works like a dustpan should
- Light armour
Thoughts; I don't think it's too bad. I would love to add more aesthetics, but I'm limited from weight.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95472hw.jpg)
Don't have a name yet, leave some suggestions.
Heavyweight
+ Good protection
- High ground clearance, weapon breaks easily
Thoughts; The front looks messy, but once I buy a new laptop and/or get my compooter fixed I can do some BFEing and clean & tighten it up a little.
Not my best effort, but I'm not going to put in full effort while I'm at my friends house. Expect better builds from me when I can use my own computer. I'll also go back in my showcase and fix some of my later bots.

Chillax, it's not like it's dead serious.
I think it'd look better as a solid 8 point disc, but other than that it looks great.I wanted to try out some new things so it isn't totally generic, so I BFE'd it.
I'm going to do a component reskin and bot skin, but I don't have the time right now. I'll finish it when I can.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35638Untitled.png)
Also, do you guys think it will look better with some other form of weapon (i.e beaters, matilda teeth)?

Launch Platform MK2 lost cousin.I actually took inspiration from Death of Angels 2, but (like most DSL-S bots) they're probably the same thing :P
needs more widenessI'll do a wider 4WD HW tomorrow.
do you try at all when you build?
really productive posts :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup
it's actually a genuine questionAre you really that stupid? Maybe to improve? It's the third DSL-S bot I've ever made so you can't expect it to be any good. Next time actually post some advice instead of being an ass or I'll just delete your posts in my showcase.
if you're going to post nothing of value or worth posting, why even bother having a showcase?

Bump for a good cause.
This is just a friendly reminder to all you in Clash Cubes, to not forget to protect the top of your bot :icon_twisted:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17366timber.jpg)
It's a full-body hammer, in that the chassis and batteries swing with the weapons, and also act as a counterweight to help lift the ridiculously heavy hammer back up. Also, because of the way it's built, I can power the hammer with four large JX bursts all working together, so it packs some serious punch behind it. I'm pretty sure I couldn't get the same power out of a single Beta motor with a traditional hammer setup.
This is the bot I was originally calling Warwolf because it had a flail hammer, like a trebuchet, but that didn't work out very well so I switched to a static hammer.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60383Untitled.png)Nice, would look better with a different skin again, in fact...
Looks nice and has potential, change the skin for a first, the green, black, silver and white don't really go togetherReally? I rather like the skin.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60383Untitled.png)Nice, would look better with a different skin again, in fact...
Like the disc bot, look's sweet.Thanks, I thought it was a bit bland but meh.
Remove that beater on the flipper. Looks kinda weird. But besides that, my, do these look good.Thanks again, and the beater's just there because I had extra weight to spend. If I can think of anything better to use the weight on I will.
doesn't look bad though a bit messyDefine "messy".

Surprisingly, it's not too bad.Then it should go far
how is this a HS
oh i saw HS instead of hammer.Scrapheap Challenge isn't exactly going to be pro level so why not?

why are you using a dsl bar for a weapon and why did you waste weight on side armour that is terrible instead of upgrading the drive.You're both missing the point.

It's not bad, I think. Maybe a bit tall for a flipper.It's not a flipper... but it acts like one. It's so ridiculously fast that instead of carrying bots and slamming them into walls, it flips them.
Would like it even if it was a simple pusherWell it is a pusher but not quite a simple one.
If that entire top setup flipped up Behemoth style it'd be the coolest thing, but it's probably not viable.Yeah probably not and it wouldn't be very practical due to the speed.
I think it looks really cool. Needs a skin though.
Looks pretty cool.
Looks pretty sturdy.Thanks guys.
Needs a skin though.If you have any weight to spare you could try and add a flipper in the middle, it looks like flippermakers might fit quite nicely, but it does look great as-is.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61326aeg.png)
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 like it. Very Battlebots-y.
Stick a decent skin on it and it'll look great.

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.

I'm guessing it's a sit and spin thing, right?Yep. Not my favourite bot type, but there's only so much you can do in BW with that style.
see you in 2024That's brilliant and stupid. I wish I could come up with something like that.
