And this is why I wanted that storm piston lack to be fixed.













Because after that is fixed I can be even more creative.  :D

Oh yeah and I'm pleased. Thank you. <)

As Clickbeetle says: "Bumbles randomly around the arena using an unbalanced spinner. Fun and easy to fight with no AI'ing - just turn on the bumbler and go at it!" https://gametechmods.com/ra2dsl/dload.php?action=file&file_id=35

I also first tried to make unbalanced spinner inside it and so make it to move but because it didn't work I removed the motor and now there isn't anything inside. That's why its name is now Lol ball.

Lots of interesting and unique designs there.

The bumbling mechanism is extremely hard to get right.  It took hours of tweaking to get Bumble Bot mobile.  I still have the bot; I'll see if I can't get it re-uploaded.

Stacking a Perm 132 and a 6-mag gearbox is just wrong.  But extremely fun, too :mrgreen:

I'd say to replace the wedges on Slapper with weapons, but you've probably already thought of that and didn't do it because it would destroy the bot's style.  Interesting design in any case.

Yep I thought that and as you said that wouldn't anymore match to my view of the robot what flashed in my mind but of course I could make version II of the Slapper and in that version I could tweak it more to get it much powerfuller.

And as I said stacking motors has its lack. They start to work like clutched axel. And you just have to ram to a robot what has stacked motors as soon as possible and as fast as you can and its fight is over.

Oh yeah and I would loved to have the original Bumble Bot. Could you try to upload it fast?

Sorry 'bout the delay for Bumble Bot.  I had completely forgotten about it.  But it's re-uploaded now and should be working for your enjoyment (although I left the messed-up preview pic up because it looks so weirdly cool :mrgreen:)

It's been so long since I checked your showcase, and I must say, you have some really cool bot designs. The wheel setup on the coal miner bot is awesome. I'd like to try out the stacked motor style on the tornado bot for myself, I've gotta see that speed. Overall you have so many cool new designs for DSL bots, I'm really impressed.
Good shredding of Sir Killalot too.

I can upload the Tornado of Destruction here if you want the original copy of it. And if you want it I have to warn you, it takes very much time to accelerate the drum to its full speed. So you have to drive away for some time before it gains its full speed. And when you are accelerating the drum to pick some speed to it, you will notice that mag motor set is so powerful that Perm motor will start to rotate to opposing direction where it should rotate. So few times loose your finger from the button what rotates mag motor set so it will gain its speed much faster.

I like Boulder Crusher's design.  A feed ramp leading to servo-powered crushing rollers... who would've thunk it?

Being a vertical spinner fanboy, I also like V Syncer.  Looks like it's powered by a Perm 132, and I'm assuming the hammers are the 30kg flavor because 60kg hammers would be maddeningly hard to cram on there.  I imagine it's fun to use as long as those support extenders don't get ripped off.  Maybe you could downgrade to aluminum chassis armor, and upgrade to titanium supports?

All I can say about Big Deal is that it looks fast, powerful, and very annoying to fight (both against and with :P ).

Yep it is powered by a Perm 132 motor and it does have 30kg hammers but not because of any size issues but because of spinning speed. Even now it is bit slow but enough good to make damages.

And it is fun to use even after both extenders are gone because I just need to turn dics's spinning direction and the weapon keeps robot's front up as long as batteries have enough power to run.

And what comes to Big Deal, it is bit annoying to fight because when I ram to someone its back rises and when wheels are spinning in the air it might flip or rotate or do something weird and that's why it is bit annoying to drive.

Nope.  Definitely wouldn't want to fight that.  It's like Spaz with REDRUM weapons for wheels.  Good work coming up with that design.

Oooh... if you replaced the battle axe with something that didn't have a damage normal (say, a spiked club) you could use it as a thwacker too.  If it can turn with any speed, that is.

Well I tested the spiked club idea but it didn't last there for long so that's why I prefer more battle axe than that.

Nice work on Dead Bull!  That bot looks worthy to be included in SteelYard Dogs in DSL 2.0 (not suggesting it will be though).

I would love to see a battle shot of Spike Beetle 2.  Not even my HW Centrifuge gets points so much it slows down the game.  That bot must be a beast.
