Title: My DSL Attempts
Post by: Mr. Apocalypse on February 19, 2009, 07:17:51 PM: I haven't played DSL 2.1 in a long time, or Robot Arena 2 for that matter. I have messed with some UI stuff for my original RA2, but I haven't really started to create bots again. Finally after seeing a lot of progress here, I might as well put at least one of mine.

The bot Attempt uses a horizontal bar with medium drum beaters for the weapon. So far this is just my first DSL build for a long time. I'm sure there are many improvements to be made. I have made it as low as possible without the blade hitting the ground. I also hear many good things about the Hypno wheels, at least for speed.

The batteries used are 2 Red Battlepacks and 5 ant batteries. I'm not used to the DSL mod itself, and I'm not used to the realism behind it, but I'll learn within time. One thing that I know would be rejected about this bot is that it is a lightweight, and it's using a Perm 45 for a spinner motor. That kinda ruins the realism thing lol.

Though it's very fast for a HS and the blade isn't very durable, but it's your choice.

Post by: Mr. Apocalypse on February 20, 2009, 05:20:45 AM: Thanks. I'm trying to make it as realistic as possible. That was my main goal at first. There are a slight amount of empty spaces that I'll work on later. I also forgot what armor that I used lol. I'll add that information later.

I usually make Heavyweights, but I think with this mod and with realism in mind, I should just mess around with Lightweights first. I'll update this one tonight or maybe tomorrow with first removing the empty space without ridding of too much space. My main concern for removing chassis space is having the motor balanced so that it won't tip to the floor and render the blade useless.
