[size=+2]Red's Robotic Hall of Lame - DSL Edition[/size]
[size=+1]WARNING:[/size]
The robots in this thread may suck real balls. Don't point out the obvious.

-----

Here's the first. Nemesis II (Or ][ ).

Additional Notes:
First ever semi-decent DSL bot.
Would of been entered in Wild Robots Live! if the 4th rumble heat was filled.
The weapon has a armor disc ONTOP of the weapon disc, meaning there's much less of a chance of the weapon loaded disc being knocked off
I know there's wasted space. Would take a crack at fixing, but if I made it smaller, it probably wouldn't be semi-realistic (hammers clipping the wheels)
It's semi realistic.

Semi-realistic?
Does the weapon clip the batt or something?

I think it does. It's hard to call, so I say semi-realistic to not be right and not be wrong.

Well it's got a great skin, great drive and decent weapons, the only thing it lacks is weapon speed. That's a big weapon for a Perm 132. You could get rid of the extra armor disc (those discs are durable enough that the hammers are almost certainly going to break first) and shrink the chassis to get weight for a 6-mag gearbox or something. You can probably make the chassis wider so the weapon won't clip the wheels then, or else use smaller wheels.

Those discs are more durable than the FBS discs.

Whoa, I thought this showcase wasn't going to get any comments until I posted a new bot.

Well, in my experience... the disc always breaks first. The hammers take about 2 minutes of pure fighting. Usually enough.

I'm with you on changing the motor. But to achieve the same semi-realistic-ness, I might need to make it an external motor so it can hang around the same place.

Time for a new bot. Bumped to show there is one.

Additional Notes:
Strongest non-spinner BW
Thinking about removing the extender on the back.. though it does stop quite a few attacks
Can tackle some LWs, MWs and HWs as pictured
Although a DSL bar was used to block light HS attacks, it could do better (Does work to some degree though)

Yet I have no idea why.. or if it's a good thing. :s

I'd just use one of these spinner shell panels for holding the razors.

Mmm, I know what you're getting at. Chose this setup though as it's more of a frontal protection against low HSs and rammers. Though I never actually tried putting on the panel and comparing the widths of either setup.

RedSawn · « **Reply #12 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:26:56 PM »

You were right, Naryar. The shell was a better idea - once I found out the middle connection point could be used to attach to stuff.

Dynamo MK2.. MK2:

I think I did enough weightsaving to give it 3mm Plastic armor and have two little air tanks. Just trying to remember - I pulled the shot out of the screenshots directory just now, not go into the bot lab.

Also, here comes a semi-nostalgia strike:

Notes:
Better then Double Damage MW.
Not as much of a giant killer as Dynamo, but it does sting.
Getting pushed around usually results in a intact-weapon variation of the Gyro dance, as DD gets pushed out of self-righting and stuff.

Motor is not powerful enough, you need at least a duel mag to spin that.

ianh05 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:56:47 PM »

nice splash! if i make multi-bots i generally make it tough for them to hit each others chassis and weapons. does the bar that has the weapons attached come off fast when they battle together? apart from that they look pretty good.

Actually, it spins quite fast. Ofcourse, a duel mag would make it go much faster, but it still spins at the same speed as DDMW with the Perm 132 setup. Probably be hard to fit in to a LW setup with (an improved version of) DDMW's chassis in mind.

Ian... well, I just fight any bot as the splash makes out. DDLW's vulnerable to vertical spinners, hammers/axes, and horizontal spinners in the right position.

There are two Lws in GUMBA that have duel mags, mine(Gyroman) and Urjak's(The Ugly).
Both are showcased.

You'd be better with 3 ant batteries, or even 4 if you want battery power.

It doesn't looks like the pointy tip will do much damage...

your picture are fantastic : even the worst bot should look as a killer when so well exposed Are you working on an advertising agency ?
and more over your bot seems good : preparing for bbean 6 DSL LW ?

Hmmm. I'll look into that.

Never really planned for it to. Secondary tactic. Or secondary defence.

Just seem to be good at it, suppose. Apparently my publication work in (secondary) school looks pro.. literally. :s

Oh, it's LW? Heh, thought it was BW.. or AW.
