Ok, I'm starting a showcase. Here is my BBeans 2 bot.

I never saw the flipper get used in the tourney, how come?.
-
looking at it, either the smartzone is fairly small, or it has trouble lifting max weight bots
-
it doesnt have a flipper?
if your refering to the snaper motor, its just used as an effective wedge
-
That's right. The burst motor is too small to flip heavyweights, but for some reson it helps the wedge get under stuff better. :)
-
The flipper is used as a secondary weapon. Once all the spikes on the drills break, then it will start firing the flipper as a last-ditch effort. All the spikes haven't broken off in any fights yet, so you haven't seen the flipper get used.
-
Yea, I did put some teeth on it in hopes that they can do damage if the burst motor is fired. It's not powerfull enough to flip a heavyweight, but maby it could flip one of the multibots if I ever lost all my spikes in a fight with one.(which i doubt will happen) :twisted:
-
I finally started building some DSL bots again so here they are. They are remakes of the stonck bots that are in the robot desings folder.

Atom Smasher
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/2247.jpeg). and Pimped Spin Bonker. It has 4 of the biggest batterys for power which is probly more than I need. The wepon motor is an E-tec and it has 4 NPC-64's with micro wheels for drive.
-
Nice idea on the Spin Bunker that you have attached the spiked clubs like that. That looks nice.
-
The new Spin Bonker looks extremely destructive, very very good job on that :D
Atom Amasher looks good but am i right in saying that its a bit fragile?
-
Yes, Atom Smasher is a bit fragile, I think I may resize the chassis and use mag snappers so that I'll have enough weight to use stronger extenders, and maby even better hammers/
-
thought so :D i may have a suggestion, if you are willing to spend more weight you could also try making the armour on the front wider and as for the arms try and put spikes facing forward of of them.then you wouldn't have to upgrage the extender strength and also you would do more damage. but of course this will make it quite different from its predesesor.
-
Hey, it would still be more like it's predesesor than Pimped Spin Bonker is.
-
well, I suppose it would still look a bit similar, I think it also depends on how you look at it.
-
A new bot at last! This is a stock DSL replica of a 1940's aircraft. Check it out. :D
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/2602.jpeg)
As you, can see, the propeller also makes an effective spinning wepon. It weighs just over 500 kilos so it's accually a HW but I fight it as a MW because that's what it would be without all the extra junk.
-
Very impressive Meganerdbomb it looks just like a plane! To be honest I have never seen the plane you have replicated but still it looks great :D
Well done.
-
:lol: Nice man. Looks very cool.
-
Wow, nice work with that. I think that's the first replica-bot I've seen that's both accurate AND combat-worthy.
-
I havn't played DSL in a while but I did get this jet prototype built.
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9994/screenshot2cf3.png)
As you can see, it needs some work still. I havn't added the hovermotor yet because I need the mini one. ( I don't have the Bettle bro's pack for DSL yet) 8)
-
Looking good. :D
-
Now that the forums are back up, and I've started playing DSL again, I can post some new bots.
Here is a rammer called Leviathan.
(https://gametechmods.com/upURS/image/4252.jpeg) (https://gametechmods.com/upURS/view/4252)
Although it's a rammer, I've found that it's more effective for me to push the opponent around the arena while I toast him with my flamethrower rather than actually ramming.
Behemoth vs Leviathan!

This one is not really a bot built for serious combat, but I have won a few fights with it.

-
Nice bot......Leviathan.....got my doubts about Seal...:lol:
EDIT: Seal is OK too!
-
Try to change the 4 Etek Drive for 6 T64 Fast in Leviathan and grippier wheels.
The Extra Weight can be used to add a wedge, or upgrade the armor.
and i found your old showcase... https://gametechmods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=523
-
Wow, this entire forum has been really inactive lately. I have built a few bots on DSL, but I'm not gonna post any pictures tonight. Maybe I will tomorrow.
-
I need to build some DSL bots
I only have 3 or 4
-
Nice bots, yeah.
Spin Bonker DSL looks mean, fast (four NPC64 are quite good) but doesn't need four big batteries. Tw (PC565's if I remember) are enough (and even then it will be slightly overpowered) for one Etek and four NPC64. Could save 60 kg for that.
But the Atom Smasher is underpowered ! One big batt and one orange batt should be enough.
If you want Spin Bonker to be really deadly, you should tighten the chassis a bit, remove that front panel and put some ant batts, or even stack a battlepack battery in the first.
-
I made a slight upgrade to Shebaest (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31252screenshot_4.jpg)
In case you can't tell, the extenders for the spikes have been upgraded to titanium, the emergency wedge is now inverted to get under things better, and I switched the three cutting teeth for one ripping tooth. Oh yea, the skin is improved too.
Heres a random bot my brothers made with the originial name of happy slapper
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45089screenshot_7.JPG)
-
The legendary Shebeast, upgraded?
RUN!
-
If you can go under her wedges or if you have a good armored hammer bot, it is (relatively) fine.
If not, you're in BIG trouble.
-
New bot! this one uses some DSL 2.1 stuff

Ah, a thwacker with spinning spikes on the wheels. I've thought about that design but haven't tried it. Looks like a mean bot.
-
How the heck can that thing be so heavy? I thought it was a MW! What armor did you used?
And for the wheel guards, I would put something wider like a 40x40 DSL bar (or perhaps 30X30), or a 10cm disc with a typhoon spike on it.
-
I tried to make it a MW, but I couldn't get it below 450 kgs without making it much weaker, so i gave it very heavy armor (10mm titanium) instead. I'm going to try reworking the chassis to make a MW version eventually.
-
Hey, why your pictures and screenshots here are BMP?
After you have them in bmp you just rename them to jpg and you think this will work? :lol:
They are something like this : ************12123.jpg.bmp
But actually they are bitmaps and they are large and dont have any jpg compresion...
So you actually use bmps... Repair this... Save them in paint as jpg...
Just becouse your windows dont show theyr extensions and you see them as ************12123 and you add ".jpg" this dont mean they will become jpg...
jpg compresion is another thing...
(My thoughts : *Noobz,noobz,noobz,... they will never lurn windows...*)
anyway...
-
Meh who cares? But alright this one is actually a jpg.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72082Double Boom Joy Drill.JPG)
This a hybrid bot I just made called Double Boom Joy Drill. It has very powerful attack, but low defense (only 1mm steel for armor and no extra protection). because of this it is very weak against spinners and hammer bots that have armored fronts, but good against most other bots.
-
Very creative.
-
That's gotta pack a punch. 2 Storm pistons on a LW is crazy enough, but with drills on them? It's not going to last long, but those first few hits will hurt.
-
FROM THE DEPTHS OF HADES, COME FORTH!
Yeah, I'm necroing my 2 and 1/2 year old showcase! Is that a record?
Why? I don't even know. I guess I got nostalgic. Some of you already saw this bot since it's the one I built for Hard Bot's challenge. Unfortunately, the very sight of it struck him with fear, and he chickened out. It's really a shame, because I really wanted to use it. Maybe someone will make a DSL BW tournament in the near future. Anyway, here's Scootaloo again.

(http://upurs.us/image/24927.jpeg)
I think the skin needs some work....
It can consistently beat every BW in the Naryar AI pack except Rip 'em Up, and that's only because its wedge allows it to get at my exposed back and undersides about 60% of the time. From the front and sides, it's impenetrable.
Maybe I'll build a Sweetie Bell just to make this bump worthwhile, but don't count on it.
-
I like how that bot is protected on all sides. I bet it would be good against spinners, kinda like Thwartoise.
The asymmetrical wheels bother me but I don't see how that could be helped. :(
