more bots, most of them rebuilt from dsl3 beta

also i'm seeing a lot of dsl bots with internal components outside the robot. are people just BFEing the chassis height to zero or something?

nice bots but bots that have an extender frame setup like what Craaig has done with Interlunar and Lazarus (Page 57 of his showcase) is they create a 1x1 cube, minimum/BFE'd height then add an anchor. They then use Robot Arena 2 Component Freedom (find it in Modifications, not stickied) to allow them to add all their parts outside the chassis without the Rule of Seven. This allows for more complex shapes and beautiful robots. this was from Avalanche! As for me i like them very much and i love the full body spinner :D

idk dude this looks good to me

it probably sucks because you dont have a wedge or any meaningful weaponry, but it looks nice so it has that going for it and i wouldnt ruin it for combat effectiveness

Looks cool. Problem is that you're not using alu extenders and the bot is pretty large scale-wise, so you have a ton of weight being sucked up by extenders and none left over for weaponry. I like it, though.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
Google Drive with my newer bots

Congrats on making the sir killalot claws not look like ass. That spinner design is really cool. Bot itself looks just a tad too long for a 2WD spinner for me though. If you could convert it to 4WD, or make it shorter in overall length it would look really cool though.

those two wedgelets look like they will block bots from running up the ramp and being fed into your VS. but i may be in error, it is hard to see due to the picture. is it asymmetrical ?

I am digging the complex flipper version of it though.
