so with talk about BBEANS 6 i decided to finally get into dsl. it's gonna take some time to get use to so any help would be great.

here's my first dsl lw:

it's basically a lw juggler. i still haven't figured out how to get the wedges attached to each other like Mako >.<

Oo
Nice bot...

But i think that he need a better skin :)

Your best bet is to browse the showcases here and look for designs you like, then try to replicate them. This will help quite a bit in getting a feel for DSL.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, DSA armor doesn't work in DSL

If that's DSA I'm seeing, you need to change it. Even the 1 mm plastic armor is superior, if I remember correctly.

yep i changed it to steel 1 and i have had a look at a few dsl showcases for some ideas.

Even so, its not a juggler, its more of a hybrid of a FS and a TS.
Steel is not that good, I find that 1mm tite works best on LWs.

If he had left over weight he can't use for anything else, it is best to go for the strongest armor possible, no matter what the type.

Mako Wedges are on Hinges.

Urjak · « **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2009, 07:56:39 PM »

I always thought they were on axle mounts.

Overpowered. You'll be fine with 2 or 3 ant batteries.

...And where's the control board ?!? I'm sure you can fit a blue one in there (lighter than the tiny green one)

And R1885 is right. 1mm Ti would be a good choice on this one with all your spinner shell panels for armor.

Somebody · « **Reply #10 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:07:31 AM »

Axle Mounts, Hinges, whatever it is, it is on a hinge/mount that is probably 90 or 180 degrees.

working on DSL lw's at the moment. here's a few:

better look at the 3rd one in the pic, all results were AI vs AI:

it's invertible too.

I'm Working on a large lw VS at the moment, hopefully have it completed (stable and all) soon :)

ianh05 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2009, 02:26:31 AM »

oh tough crowd, time for my 3rd post in a row..

more results with a few battle shots, all AI vs AI of course:

won all matches without getting a scratch on the chassis :)

what would make a good match up for this lightweight?

Naryar · « **Reply #14 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:05:38 AM »

i think your PA skirt is a little high. might be an issue for invertibility.

Also, most of the replicas aren't really dangerous. Fight something like 360 Arc Pounder, and the other decent AI DSL LW's (you can even take on the MW's if you feel confident).

ianh05 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2009, 05:11:52 AM »

it has defeated 360 arc pounder (i'll get a pic soon), in BBEANS 2 arena which is where i have been testing my lws. trying it against some mw's could be fun.

we need a dsl ai pack imo, or maybe someone would like to send me some lws to test against?

oh and the PA skirt is perfect as it is, i've been watching it destroy a number of bots while upside down.. the weapons act as a grinder on the top of other bots when it's running upside down.

here's a video of lw3 (now called Flawless victory) in action:

enjoy :)

fyi, the first bot it faces in the vid is one that my friend made.

Inf likes! He really likes to 'tear it up!'

ianh05 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2009, 10:25:20 PM »

cool i think i'm getting the hang of DSL now :) and yeah it does, best thing about it is it has no real weakness.. except i can't find any good dsl pop-ups to test it against. it's pretty durable and can get a lot of points really fast (can get over 25000 points which isn't too bad for a lw).

I'm working on a whole lot of new designs, all lws of course.

R1885 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2009, 10:16:59 AM »

I could send you some of my LWs, a nice duel Mag spinner, a pop-up, and some more.
