Lemonism's DSL Showcase

[Lemonism]

I downloaded DSL 2.1 today, and made my first bot.

And the insides:

NPC fasts, and hopefully you can see the rest.
I decided to start with this rather than anything IRL, as I believe some people have been saying that that is a better idea for a newcomer to DSL, and besides all I have built up to this point is stock, and DSL-S is much closer to stock than IRL is. I may try IRL in the future, but for now I'm sticking with DSL-S.
Keep in mind that I have no idea how batteries work in DSL, other than ant batteries being good, and also don't know what the best weapons are yet.

jesus h christ you learn fast

The only suggestion for now is to make a larger chassis to accommodate the weapon motors. It improves stability and greatly increases the armor (especially since DSL armor ratings are much better than stock's).

The only suggestion for now is to make a larger chassis to accommodate the weapon motors.

Since the disks are angled down slightly I'm not entirely sure how to fit the weapon motors into the chassis and still have them angled. Any advice on this?

[Pwnator]

In that case, never mind the internal motors. You could try a shape similar to Devil's chassis (the stock one), so it wouldn't wobble around too much when a disk falls off, and would also provide a secondary wedge should the primary wedge get knocked out.

[Lemonism]

Added the chassis wedge:

It won't come into play much until the disks are off, but at least it will be more stable now. Also added a ramplate for some frontal protection.

i haven't seen a member start out with DSL S in a while, feels real refreshing.

pretty nice bot BTW, but those typhoon teeth are mostly useless and the lightning teeth just get in the way. try to get some more weapons on since that is really the only problem with jugglers.

otherwise good work so far

New robot: Popup/juggler thing

And insides:

Not much to say about it really, other than it's a bit boring but does decently against the DSL AI bots.

Might want to consider shrinking the chassis somewhat, and Piglets would be sufficient enough for a triple-razor hexplate leaving more weight for razors. Not only that, you should replace the aluminiums holding the Perm 80s(?) with polycarbonates to save weight. Also, skirt-hinges holding the bottom "feeder wedge" generally are insufficient, and you may consider using a metal hinge instead.

[Naryar]

weapon motors are overkill, get piglets or twm3r's

shrink chassis

pretty good overall!

Meh, I'd rather use flipper segs for the extra HP.

[Lemonism]

I need to do more DSL. And more stock, actually, but mostly DSL. Anyway, here are my first attempts at IRL building in DSL 3:

And here's attempt 2:

I'll try to make sure I post more bots here, both standard and IRL

[Badnik96]

Man those look cool. Good job dude.

[090901]

first bot <33333333

[Naryar]

yeah the first bot is sex

[RedAce]

Impressive, you really are a quick learner.

[Mr. AS]

first bot <33333333

not gonna lie, 2nd one looks pretty cool too.

both standard and IRL

love it when members have variety.

[MassimoV]

That sawbot is real nice.

[Lemonism]

Wow, wasn't expecting such a positive reaction, thanks guys! Anyway, I made another one:

Can't decide if I like this one or the first one I posted better.
Also I can never think of names for robots, so name suggestions for this one and the other two would be appreciated.

both standard and IRL

love it when members have variety.

Rest assured there will be some standard stuff comming in the near future.

[Jonzu95]

DAMN THAT'S AWESOME
