OMG IT'S THE HIGHLANDER

^lol^

Anyway, my new SHW will be able to tear it apart no problemo.

Fair enough. It was entered for the lols.

That said, it would be hilarious if it won. =D

It reminds me of All Torque from RW Series 3, actually =P

Can I pass it off as a wammer?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #667 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:46:03 AM »

With those tiny teeth? I'm not sure =P

But how on Earth do you make transparent skins? Clever Print Screen work?

NFX · « **Reply #668 on:** November 24, 2011, 08:49:29 AM »

Pretty much, yeah. You just take a shot of it in the components tab, add it as a layer in Paint.NET or a similar program, crop it accordingly, and that's pretty much that. =) I normally add a slightly transparent "Clouds" layer in the same position, to give it an added polycarbonate effect.

Thanks, NFX. I'll give that a go when I get out of hospital =D

You have inspired me NFX. I never bother to bump up the resolution on the skins. But that bot looks sooooo slick, I am going to have to do that from now on.

Excellent work!

My OCD doesn't like visibly mis-aligned ants :P

My first IRL bot was called Challenger.

Just throwing that at ya.

Well... this is as much as a wammer as SFTW is a sawbot... so yes, I guess you can.

Though I understand not why you have given it some weapons. Or wheels. Or any component for that matter. The point of that bot was to look cool and have an overinflated bot file, as well as a very precise skin, right ? So why bother making it a tiny bit efficient ?

That thing just screams "Storm 2 flipper" type robot to me. It could be a flying box with a flipper.

MassimoV · « **Reply #675 on:** November 24, 2011, 01:39:13 PM »

Nice design. I also love the little emblem on the front.

Trying to get back into some proper DSL building.

yay Skeksis is now properly built

Well done, good sir.

Urjak · « **Reply #679 on:** November 25, 2011, 07:08:29 PM »

I worry about true popups getting at the chassis and motor, but the bot looks pretty deadly.
