Corrosion isn’t a rebuild, just a side-by-side comparison to Erosion, which is entering Deathmatch 2. It’s got steel panels on the front, I could use flipper segments but they won’t take hits nearly as well as the steel.

Ah ok, thought so. Can't wait to beat 7 bells out of it in Deathmatch :p

You probably will, I can’t remember the last time I built a bot just got entering a tournament. God knows what the current meta is.

Extender bots, but tbh this looks like it'll do great (just not as good as me hehe)

Mazakari used Neglect Showcase.

It's super effective!













Actual real robots coming soon.

The first two simply scream your name. I love the retro feeling they have. Good job!

Some more generic builds I've whipped up recently.

I really like Resistance, especially the Prodigy reference on the back. if you could get the logo onto the flipper itself it'd look even cooler

Never been able to sort out getting those armour panel skins right, unfortunately, otherwise I would have absolutely done that.

Nice plug.

I think I'll check this tutorial out some time.

And Mazakari, I like that VS. I assume it's British?

I like the VS a lot. Reminds me of 3 Stegs, which has always been a favourite of mine.

Clamp looks pretty solid too, though some of those gaps in the armour around the front could do with being filled if possible IMO

The axe really doesn't light any fires for me though not gonna lie. Could really do with something to stop it from just being a box with an axe on top. What that something is I'm not too sure though.

Submit the dino-like one to BOTM. It will be a big hit.

Cheers, it started off as a Tombclone but it was faaaaar too big. Thought a less conventional VS might be a little more interesting.

Clamp looks pretty solid too, though some of those gaps in the armour around the front could do with being filled if possible IMO

I'm not super happy with the gaps either, but I'm not great with the IRL armour panels, sadly. I'll revisit it like I did with the VS soon and give it another go.

The axe really doesn't light any fires for me though not gonna lie. Could really do with something to stop it from just being a box with an axe on top. What that something is I'm not too sure though.

Thought that might be the main problem with it, just experimenting with the idea of a clean looking build still looking decent alongside messier, more interesting bots.

New flipper, and a rebuild of an older spinner from last year. I think I'm getting far too into polycarb shells.
