Here was my LW entry to RA2 Olympics: Tokyo:

And an IRL flipper made with shell panels (quite old, forgot to showcase it when I made it):

That's a cool looking flipper.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #62 on:** November 04, 2013, 03:36:33 PM »

poker looks decent. just being really nitpicky here, but small beater + a light ds tooth is almost entirely better than irons. is it designed to take out popups, longbow style?

the flipper is cool and all, but i cant really imagine that setup being practical on an actual robot IRL.

What do you mean by longbow style?
Also I agree that that design probably wouldn't be practical, and I think I will remake it eventually.

"longbow" is one of clickbeetle's stock MW rammers.

the idea behind it was to do massive damage by having "all of its weapons focused into as small an area as possible, so if you hit that one area, you always take the maximum damage possible."

Remade that shell panel flipper:
With sheet:

Without sheet:

Open to name suggestions.

"Mouser Mecha Cat-bot 2"

Get rid of the sheet, it looks flimsy and out of place.

Done, and added to previous post.

To be honest, I think it looks really practical IRL.

Prototype robot for Blades of Glory. Never finished it, so I entered something else.

And insides:

Armour is Al3 I believe.
It was an attempt at a sort of pusher type bot, but with hammers as well. It sucks.

Lemonism · « **Reply #71 on:** January 16, 2014, 12:37:36 PM »

IRL... sort-of. More like an artbot-irl thing. I don't know.

'Nother view:

Was going to be IRL, but the back motors were too exposed IMO, so I made it look like it came from a scrapyard and named it Scrapheap Beast.

Also I built a standard bot that needs advice ^ ... please? Anyone?

Lemonism · « **Reply #72 on:** January 16, 2014, 12:53:13 PM »

And continuing the 'I have no idea what I'm doing today' theme, here's an IRL-ish flamer thing.

It's called Warm Embrace.
Might remake this for Kurt's tournament if I get some time.

Who gives a crap if they are "omg irl" or "omg not irl!!!1!1" ?

They look cool and are realistic. It's all that matters.

Fair enough. Any advice for me on my DSL standard bot (it badly needs it)?

Gotta say, I love Warm Embrace, the bear claws complete the look nicely.

I like where you were going with Scrapheap Beast, but it has to be said it reminds me of MY DSL3 heavyweight endeavours; you have an idea, do it, then start adding more to it because you think it looks cool and then when you finally step back half an hour later it's just like "Wtf is this mess?" That said, it's a better looking 'mess' than the atrocities I end up with, so meh. :P

Haha, yeah, that's pretty much it :P Mostly I don't showcase the messy ones, but I thought this was a cool enough mess to show.

New bot:

S'alright I guess.

Probably Rob · « **Reply #78 on:** January 20, 2014, 02:16:32 PM »

I like the look of it. Nice build!

Jet-speed · « **Reply #79 on:** January 20, 2014, 02:29:01 PM »

Seconded. Looks like a much cooler version of my original sledge spinner idea with four wheels; not that the whole Hazard idea hasn't been done before. Definitely the nicest looking iteration I've seen though. Are those NPC's I see? What's the weapon motor? :P
