Looks much better than the previous Dusk, I can't wait to see it in the field.

Looks sick. What's powering the disc?

Just an piglet.

*a
Testing shows that it makes a very good tire shredder. It is also currently the #3 seed, behind S.H.I.E.L.D & me. The seeds still might get shifted around, but I was surprised how fast it drives.

#3 seed due to testing, or prior experience (Battlebots)?

I'll take that.

Testing.

A sort of lightweight prototype. Playing around with a smaller chassis design.

The weight you're supposed to save with a smaller chassis is pretty much wasted on that crappy drive extender work and to a lesser extent, your stabilizers. You can redo the setup using 3 anchors only.

Merrick · « **Reply #288 on:** June 14, 2013, 05:04:33 AM »

What would you suggest for the drive extender work then?

I was told to use DSL bars instead of 20/40/60 etc extenders last time I tried something like this, and now I'm told it's crappy. Not entirely sure what I'm meant to be doing with this anymore.

By 3 anchors, do you mean multi-extenders/baseplate anchors? Because there's only 3 of them.

EDIT: It doesn't matter anymore, because I went back into DSL2 to take a picture of the insides, only to find the robot gone. It wasn't saved. what is this i don't even

Pwnator · « **Reply #289 on:** June 14, 2013, 05:16:06 AM »

Oh, I thought it was DSL3. My bad.

But yeah, the drive can be attached to the same MEs that hold the stabilizers (attach them directly), then swap out the 20cm sheets and 40cm extenders for 20cm alu extenders and 40cm angled sheets.

Ah, yeah, I see what you mean.

If I can recover the 'bot, I'll make the adjustments.

Failing that I'mma just start again and make it invertible and protect the motors because I can see exactly how it's going to go in a fight.....

Use multi's.

Robot's gone. Bollocks.

Here's a RW style hammer that I decided to make because I never make hammers.

Just an experiment on the paintjob, really.

Last robot for a little while, I'm leaving for Italy in a few hours. Peace out.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #293 on:** June 14, 2013, 03:05:57 PM »

I love it. It reminds me of a bot I saw in a dream once actually.

helloface · « **Reply #294 on:** June 14, 2013, 04:42:22 PM »

Like the simplicity.

MassimoV · « **Reply #295 on:** June 14, 2013, 05:57:32 PM »

Reminds me of Project One.

Naryar · « **Reply #296 on:** June 14, 2013, 07:04:07 PM »

Technos ? On a MW hammer ? wut

Badnik96 · « **Reply #297 on:** June 14, 2013, 08:55:05 PM »

Really like the use of .tk decals for the skin too.

Merrick · « **Reply #298 on:** June 14, 2013, 09:21:44 PM »

Cheers guys.

Only logical choice in order to give it a 'Dominator' style feel to it.

It's not really built for efficiency. If I'd wanted to do that, I wouldn't have built a hammer. :D

Showcasing robots even without a computer.
