TBH I think DSL realistic building is dying.

More IRListicness. 6WD brick, Inspired by GF93's B4ttleBots entries. 1024x1024 skin. =D

398.9

...APPROACHING, a new foe has appeared!

I can't see it being much good in a fight, but appearance wise, I've got to hand it to you- you've definitely nailed it for realism and sheer coolness

GF, could you spoiler tag the video? Thanks

That new drumbot just gave me chills 0.o

This, IRL is killing it. And IRL is dull, not enough components flying around.

The drum is awesome. Though I feel a slightly lower stance would help more against wedges. But that might be the picture fooling me :P

It's as low a stance as I can get without the weapons hitting the ground.

And there'll always be people building DSL Realistic, it's just that there's quite a flux of IRL tournaments just now, mostly courtesy of freeziez. Like there was a bunch of DSL MW tournaments a few months ago. People mostly build for whatever tournaments are around at the time.

BATTLEBOTS 5 TEAM. ASSEMBLE. (+1 Reference Points)

SHW - Tritium
180kgs of hammers on a Dual Perm. Built mostly for looks.

HW - The Highlander 2
4WD invertible drum. You saw him in action last time. =D

MW - Taur 2
Judge Burst flipper, with a tail to stop it flipping itself over.

LW - 360
Not a replica anymore. Given an awesome skin and self-righting spikes.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #686 on:** December 03, 2011, 08:00:22 AM »

<3 them all, especially Taur.

Philippa · « **Reply #687 on:** December 03, 2011, 08:03:30 AM »

I hope my HW faces Higlander 2.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #688 on:** December 03, 2011, 08:36:31 AM »

cool. 360.

Naryar · « **Reply #689 on:** December 03, 2011, 09:12:50 AM »

I like the lightweight.

And why a superheavyweight is named tritium is beyond me.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #690 on:** December 03, 2011, 10:17:39 AM »

Gotta say I really like that LW as well.

They are all really good. With all this effort going into full teams, an AI pack might be worth considering in the future.

Excellent work!

It's the heaviest of the Hydrogen isotopes. Tritium, Deuterium, and the other one. (Protium?) It was mostly because of that, and the three hammers/protons. Yay Chemistry. =D

Yes, I am aware of that. And the first hydrogen isotope is called protium, but it's just really hydrogen.

But I was thinking more globally. Tritium is just awfully light compared to the largest majority of other atoms.

They all look great. Just hope I son't have to face Highlander again *shudders*.

I got bored, then this happened.

398.7 512x512 Skin needs tidied up, and probably a little more detail.

One of the best made IRL flippers I've ever seen. Also, amazing skin.

ty4er · « **Reply #696 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:48:48 AM »

Very nice, what's the drive?

it look sooo goood agh

Naryar · « **Reply #697 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:49:47 AM »

What's with all the flippers with ripping teeth on them ?

NFX · « **Reply #698 on:** December 04, 2011, 08:52:45 AM »

TWM3R + Hypno drive. And the ripping teeth are static, they're part of the rear wing, which also helps with self-righting. Cutting tooth stops it flipping itself over when it's the right way up.

I didn't get it until Jonzu posted in the gift thread. Shows my lack of video games knowledge.
