Oh, a TS/FS hybrid.

Too bad the torque of the center spinner must screw up your bot's trajectory and your wedge.

Beholder was awesome, it definitely needs a rebuild.

On the MW, I didn;t even think that was possible within the weight limit... 0_o Shows what I've missed in effective DSL building the past year

Also, if you want to make something try an IRL MW for BoF2... I could really use a few more entries :P

My first "IRL" bot... I wish I could make the extenders outside look a bit less weird, Might imporve on that later :P
Its invertible, You might say its retarded to have a wedge & Make it invertible but mehh, I had the weight left & Im pretty sure that the wedges would get chopped off once its inverted.

*Gets ready for being bashed coz the bot sucks*

This is the extender work: Im not skilled at all at making things look pretty O.o

Metal Hinge wedges = Poor show. But don't worry, I say that to everyone who does it. =) You only see wedges like that on the side of bots, such as Panic Attack, for some protection. I think it should do fine without wedges, you could upgrade the armour instead. It reminds me of Disconstructor from Series 7 of the UK wars somewhat.

Yeah, Been thinking about removing them more & More... IDK what I could add on its place though :\
Im not sure about the disc either, Seemed to be the best one available with 7500HP & 332DP but DSL is famous for having alot of useless components :P

Id add some razors orso but then it would deviate more from the realistic feel it should have...
IDK what to do with the extra weight besides improve armor ._.

It might be cool to somehow angle the disc downwards (or just angle the chassis) then it can hit the lower bots. (Why am I saying this when my entry is BFE'd thin?)

NFX · « **Reply #886 on:** January 30, 2012, 03:43:23 PM »

What you could do is add something like a Large DSL Disc, or 100cm Disc, and add a few Cutting Teeth, or Beater Bars onto that. Besides, it really doesn't matter if you use useless components, as long as it looks cool. Take a look at Cage Of Mirrors in my showcase, I entered it into B4ttlebots. Looks beautiful, but can't fight for <expletive>.

If this is for BoF2, then you can't use metal hinges on your bot. If not, it looks OK.

You mean, no metal hing wedges, metal hinge components are allowed for things such as spike traps or springy spikes.

yes I do, sorry bout that.

Also, if we're being strictly IRL, does the axle have a support? It may do and I might just be blind but yeah - perm axles don't float in mid air IRL :P

Badnik96 · « **Reply #891 on:** January 30, 2012, 04:51:40 PM »

Looks like it does have support.

question: do IRL MWs use Ant Batteries (Presumably packs of D batteries)?

Realised that right after posting it :P
This will be for BoF if I cant make anything better tomorrow, I have 2 exams tomorrow so I kinda rushed this one ^^"
Planning on doing something like a scorpion that hits you from the side & Above...

Well, I have no idea of the rules of IRL, People told me to some things but nothing really specific so yeah... I dont exactly know whats allowed & Whats not O.o
We should come to agreements about IRL building & Write up an official thread for newbz to it, Like me :P

Cant you see the extender work that attaches to the disc? :P
I couldent really make it go INTO the disc but I put it as close as possible (Almost touches it)

Yes and no. For example a Battlepack battery is made up of "C" sized cells and provides 5 amp hours and in this case 24v and is commonly used in MW's. But most MW's and other weight classes are switching to a 'LiPo' battery.

so does that mean having 1-2 ant batt per spin motor isn't irl realistic in anything above lw or mw?

LiNcK · « **Reply #896 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:31:07 PM »

We should really write down these rules... Theres a difference between being IRL realistic from the outside, But the inside is a whole other thing :P
Everything could have an IRL realistic deviation & Different people can have different opinions on this.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #897 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:39:17 PM »

Neh, you can use 1 ant per spin motor for BoF2, I don't really care as long as it looks IRL.

Also someone tried a scorpion for the original BoF. It didn't turn out very well. :P

Proves my point there, You dont care about the ants thing but someone else might :P

Anyways, Didnt have time to build anything today (The whole day teaching a girl how to use VB) so I might tomorrow...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #899 on:** January 31, 2012, 04:46:43 PM »

OK. I'll be waiting for your entry :D
