King Mushroom's showcase

Spin motors only need 1-2 ants to power it for 3 minutes.

Not too bad if a little bland.

[SteveM4]

Yeah. It kinda has the bad habit of not winning anything, and getting really slow after like 2 minutes.

I'm reading through all the advice given to me back in the day, and then I'm going to rework this thing.

[SteveM4]

Rebuilt it, looks way better now. And it can actually win fights!

However, the weaponry now has a habit of just falling off.





Oh, Armour is Titanium 5.

I think this is more like it. The other one was... lets not go there.
I kinda want to keep with the vertical spinner thing, works well.

Also, any ideas on why the paint import export thing is still broken?

[090901]

Are there any baseplate anchors with right angle you can use instead of the alum extender + me combo?

[Badnik96]

I'd try to protect the mag, those things are really weak outside of the chassis.

[SteveM4]

What is it with me and vertical spinners now.

Anyway, some new bots.




Armour is Titanium 3
I have forgotten how to wedges at this point. This gets outwedged horribly.

However, some showcase scanning and old critique reading reminded me of hinge and small wedge is best.




Armour is Titanium 3 again, and weapon motor is a 6-mag ultra thing. So fast.

[Paranoia]

Not sure I'd the last one is Ninja IRL or Standard, then again who am I to accuse people of that. Maybe you could consider adding some protection to the motor or adding more armor.

[SteveM4]

Probably Ninja IRL, bar the metal hinge wedges.

[helloface]

I love the new upgrade on the first one.

The second however isn't quite IRL. The disc needs more support. Also the wedges & especially that titanium half-skirt look out of place.

[SteveM4]

Due to all the wonderful things that are happening, with Robot Wars coming back and all that, I have decided to re-download this game and DSL 2.2.
I would like to start getting the habit of building things again, and now I have finally learned to run RA2 in compatibility mode so it doesn't crash every 2 seconds, I think I can do that.

By far the best thing I have built in the past few days is the HW axe-bot Gladiator, using those new piston burst motor things.



Armour is Titanium 3

Also, the first time I have ever de-frocked Grog.




Hope you guys like it

[Thyrus]

Looks really good. Its a shame you don t havy any weight left to build a piston protection

[Naryar]

Its a shame you don t havy any weight left to make this cool front wedge a powered flipper

ftfy

[SteveM4]

Made another one that hits things. Works well when it lands a hit.



Internals


Also DanTomKia inspired front.

[ecolusian]

dantomkia = win, it looks like the child of dominator 2 and dantomkia thinking about it XD

[SteveM4]

This is Death Throw




And this is what it does.

[Reier]

nice throw'n

you might want to mess with some setups like making the wedge shallower or adding a juggler type scoop on the back to maximize your surface area

[SteveM4]

I tried to re-make Gladiator to make it somewhat smaller and better. This is the end result. I give you...



799.3kg of pure pain, with Steel 3 armour, its no pushover. The axe hits much faster and harder than the original using the large burst piston.



Comparison with the original Gladiator.

[Naryar]

It looks badass.

[Scorpion]

Nice
