So I was going to post the second bot, and issue that challenge, but I don't like that idea anymore. Nah, that'd be too easy for me.

Instead, I'll ask this; Is there any Paint.NET bot skinning or something guide out there on GTM? I ducking duck at skinning but I'd love to make a sexy looking bot without having to use the actual textures...

Jungle Toast

So I rebuilt Assassiness to fix some of the problems that the original had, for example, invertability. It's now invertible, because lowest chassis height + NPCF right's + hypno's are somehow invertible, but it can indeed scoot around up side down.

Changed the paint a little. Not too different. Chassis shape is different obviously, it's bigger. More pretty looking decoration stuff, more weapons up front so less deweaponing.

Insides. 4 ants, 1 NPCFR is 19.6 watts or whatever the measurement is, so 2 of them would be somewhere around 40 whatever's, so yeah. This bot is IRL if you haven't noticed. I improved the speed issue that the previous one had by using the second best motor/wheel setup possible. Not sure what else to say. It packs a much better punch than the previous. Also, tit5.

looks badass.

Just to clear up any confusion because I think I oriented the pictures weirdly: The slope-y part with the two pointy tips is the back, the lightning spikes and DS tooth and spike strips are on the front.

Alright, this is my DSL Robot Showcase (obviously!) I have plenty of bots to showcase, but I'll start with one so it's less confusing.

This is The Power.

(removed the disc on the top so you could see better)

It's stock version was a FS that was basically fast and strong and hecka maneuverable. I couldn't manage that as well in DSL, so I made a similar drive-system and put a huge drum on the front, and added a srimech. Armored all the way around even on top, this bot has been doing alright for me. The Srimech is rather weak and can't always heave the 700-something KG (or lbs, whichever it was) onto it's feet. Other than that, does some pretty good damage, never runs out of power and does pretty well. Suggestions? Questions? Equestrians?

I'm just wondering why he bumped by quoting the OP post and didn't add any text...

Kossokei · « **Reply #88 on:** December 29, 2012, 01:45:20 PM »

Well at least it was a bump :V

Joking. Any reason for the random bump, James?

Say Yes. She'll punch out all of your blood and break your spine if you say

Looking good, but why isn't it called RED Heavy?

There's an updated version, and that's exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that, lol

A wild Doubumplepost appeared out of the tall grass!
Doubumplepost: A DoublePost-Bump type pokemon.
sorry I'm just trying to be creative with these

Anyway...

Woe to you, O' Earth and Sea...
I present to thee,
Wayward Beast!

It's a HW drill type bot, from the depths of

and damnation... Laced in Steel 5 armor, (because apparently that's a decent armor and I thought all steel was poop) it is a strong and fearsome monstrosity of the un-divine.

Stare, stare into its mouth if you have the willpower! Its fearsome drill is composed of 2 titanium extenders, 4 hypno teeth, 1 RAZOR and a piglet, and can/will drill its way through bedrock if need be!

Gaze at its decorations, they bring you in!

Ahh! Look at it! Look at its guts! Is it not amazing?! 4 ants, hexplate armor on a skirt hinge, NPCF's, Vlad wheels if you could not tell... It is truly a work of the Chaos Lords!

That looks really nice but invincible half sheet armour isn't really IRL, the skin on it looks like the sort of thing I'd expect from a heckboy novel aka awesome and really fitting!

I think I know what you're talking about with the half sheet armor;

That's actually 2 aluminium sheets attached to a skirt hinge; the top hexplate armor made the bottom look really... naked, I guess. Couldn't fill in the middle one because the hypno teeth are just a tad bit too big and it'll collide, and that'd really be unrealistic. The beater bars on the end of the aluminium skirts are just there... probably castors or something, I can't entirely remember why they're there.

Thanks though!

Awesome work then !

Looks fearsome as always. I now pronounce thee manliest IRL builder, may thou be worthy of it's noble title.

I don't like the rear of the bot however, I think you should fit more the rear chassis shape

Badnik96 · « **Reply #96 on:** January 05, 2013, 12:40:39 PM »

Simply awesome. Why don't you have an LDAI team yet???

And this title, I shall fight for, and never allow to tarnish!

I wasn't sure what to do with the rear, looking over it again I could play around with flipper extenders and see what that yields me.

That's sort of what I was shooting for, and whenever I get my team done (got 1 more on the way and then I only need to build two more) they're yours if you want them.

Upon hearing this, the Wayward Beast growled with rage!
"My rearward armament is insufficient to the tastes of The Mighty Naryar? Hephaestus, I command thee to procreate new rearward decorational armament!"
Hephaestus scoffed.
"He's your predicament, not mine."
The Beast lunged, seizing Hephaestus into its grip, threatening him with its drill.
"That was a command, not a suggestion!"

And so, the Forge-god Hephaestus sighed, and created for the Beast, claws, to be attached to the rear.

Those are made of Hexplates, matilda teeth and cutting teeth.

I'm having fun writing these descriptions in a story-type format, leave me alone :P

Feast your eyes!
It's your demise!
But please, don't cry
EVERYONE DIES!

I am Jester, a royal fool
also a killing, destructive tool!
I bring sorrow, destruction and fear,
I eat your children, and digest your tears!

So here's Jester. He has Ti3 armor, he's a pusher wedgebot type thing, and yeah not much to say here. He's a tough little bugger.

~~dat face~~ You see how nicely it's skinned? Not my work. I ~~beat the living crap out of and enslaved~~ had Plazmic give it a go and holy silver claymore he conjured up a pretty nice skin.

Insides. I put most of the stuff up front to make the bot wedgier, it's probably not wedgier but it's a placebo effect leave me alone. Not the fastest bot out there but it gave plenty of LDAI's LW's a challenge (which plenty of them failed)

oh, right, it's also IRL. I don't think I need to say that anymore but yeah I'll be doing almost entirely IRL now.
