RedAce's latest 'bot made me want to build a DSL3 flipper.

But I derped.

That looks pretty good man, despite the flippers would be out of sync when they flip a bot on one side. Although I don't think you can really fix that without changing the flippers design.

There's basically no weight left. :/

try to save some weight by attaching the sideprotectonpanels directly to the baseplateanchors. maybe you can build someting like the ears of the hassogshog

it looks very nice :O

Would look cooler if it was metallic instead of all transparent though.

It was originally, but the aforementioned weight issues cropped up.

I'll have a go at rebuilding it to be metallic. Might might it more compact.

Rebuilt and now armed with an axe.

Naryar · « **Reply #1028 on:** January 27, 2014, 09:42:15 AM »

no it looks like a mess now

also what weight issues ? you can simply mod the poly sheets to be skinned like metal...

This is true, but I'm lazy.

Agent Of Chaos

That's pretty good.

Merrick · « **Reply #1032 on:** January 28, 2014, 07:29:07 PM »

Back to basics.

MassimoV · « **Reply #1033 on:** January 28, 2014, 08:55:39 PM »

That's pretty cool.

Looks snazzy. Kind of a futuristic take on a Spikasaurus-esque design.

RedAce · « **Reply #1035 on:** January 29, 2014, 04:22:07 PM »

Very cool bot.

Merrick · « **Reply #1036 on:** February 01, 2014, 02:02:11 PM »

Cheers guys. Was pretty pleased with that one.

Here is my Orphans entry, Son Of Robogeddon.

And this as-yet-unnamed flipper as well.
Well, it's kind of a double flipper. With the small one and the front hinged self righting mechanism.

RedAce · « **Reply #1037 on:** February 01, 2014, 02:19:35 PM »

The first bot looks nice, although I feel there should slots for the flipper, but that's just me.

The second also looks cool, the front hinge self-righting mechanism is fairly unique.

What do we all think, too messy?

cephalopod · « **Reply #1039 on:** February 03, 2014, 04:37:58 AM »

A little messy, I would say. Possibly tone down the spikes/saws? Mainly the saws, I think.
