Hey there! Welcome to gtm :)

The bot looks pretty good! Don`t know about the motors. never used them in DSL3. I like the extenderwork and the use of the eyes. Since you were lurking you know what IRL and Standart is I guess

How good is it detail wise.

Shield · « **Reply #3 on:** February 18, 2014, 05:24:34 AM »

Looks okay. Slim's are fine from my experiences.

Does the bot kinda just launch itself into the air when you fire the weapon?

For the most part, it is rather stable. When the weapon is used, the robot leans forward, but doesn't jump in the air like some others.

Well I obviously need a lesson or two from you on hammer bots.

'Cause that is one fiiiine looking machine right there.

Weight: 622.2

looks extremely unstable but really cool. love it

I'm sure you could probably bring the disc down a bit further to hit lower opponents; it'd also be less unstable.
Also, you still have a lot of weight to do something else with, and some weight could actually be taken off if you remove those extenders that are inside the chassis. One idea that I've always liked trying is adding another motor and disc for added fun. Otherwise, you have lots of weight to add cool decoration, like spikes. Everywhere. :P

Looks cool as it is, just some advice :D

Thanks Craaig. The instability of the robot more or less fits with the character the decals provide. The internal extenders actually serve as the connection points for the 45degree anglers because of the rule of seven. It's an older robot, it's weight I believe was to provide flippers an easier time flipping it. But spikes would be cool.

This is another old bot. It uses BFE'd weapons. It's weight is around 542. I think most of these old robots have low weight because of Wham's beta. It's saved on a different RA2 where I deleted backround. There were also lexan 40x80 plates on either side BFE'd through each other as the supports for the piglets but it looked ugly and the tips of the spikes stuck through.

MassimoV · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2014, 08:13:32 PM »

That's not bad. I'd move the weapon motors further apart and get better weapons than spike clubs like a real drum.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2014, 08:13:54 PM »

Axle loading would allow you to get a weapon like that without BFE. Check Sage's tutorial in the "tutorials and tips" section of the forum for more.

TBH, that last bot was just a piece of old tat that I wanted to share. Maybe I just like the look of it or something. Or maybe because RA2 now thinks I want to make all my bots that color before deciding that I want them all in lime instead.

Sharing this just for the skin.

That spinner's fairly cool.

Merrick · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2014, 09:05:23 AM »

The spinner's like a upgraded DSL Spin Bonker, it's pretty neat.

For early work, this is all really nice stuff.

Naryar · « **Reply #15 on:** February 23, 2014, 09:10:04 AM »

Spinner is cool, now make it deadlier.

AKA, use either more axes, or use heavier weapons.

Why. He's building IRL.

cephalopod · « **Reply #17 on:** February 23, 2014, 02:31:21 PM »

IRL doesn't mean you have to use those batteries...
1 ant battery has enough power to run 1 spin motor for a match, so that spinner needs only 3 ants, which frees up a lot of weight for you :)
(Bursts however still need to be fully powered to the level in their description)

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2014, 02:32:49 PM »

Craig this is DSL3, and i guess you remember the battery changes this implies.

cephalopod · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2014, 02:35:04 PM »

Oh yeah lol ignore me, I didn't notice the square extenders.
