That is actually a pretty bad multibot when put together, only adds up to 500kgs.
I like the bots though.
Reason #1 while there were no multibots in BBEANS 4.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

The goal was Double Damage MW in a smaller package. That succeeded, but you're right. As a multibot, it doesn't work.

No flashy splashes this time - Just pure bots. A little information for each, but that's about it.



With the BBEANS designs being showcased, it's probably best not to show what they can do anyway.



And this is when the "The bots in this thread may suck" warning at the start of my showcase comes in.

Took 4 seconds to realize what you meant.

Hah. It's not actually THAT bad. Perhaps I should rename it to "Spinner from the East"

I meant, the weapon made me think of SFTW.

No, they both look neat.

However the VS chassis is kinda exposed on the front.

I've seen much worse than the bots in here.  Quit cutting yourself down.

Double Damage LW is good as a LW.  Don't try to make it a multibot.  Also, with such a short bar a single Magmotor is probably adequate for the weapon.

Mouth of Greed HS looks like the better of the two variants.  The VS is too boxy and exposed, I think.  With good enough drive, though, either of them could be a tough opponent.  I hope they're packing Magmotor drive in there.

Final Judgment looks great, but I would replace that hex plate on the bar with something a little taller, like a Typhoon spike.  It will make self-righting a breeze.  (unless it can already self-right)

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I LOVE FINAL JUDGEMENT. If DSL functioned realistically, it would own.

I don't really believe I've managed to go from sucky to semi-decent in just 2 showcased DSL bots, Click.

Anyway...

Wow. Final Judgement was a throw-away design. Pretty unoriginal, and not as tough overall as Nemesis or another bot I have (abbreviated USU) Atleast in DSL it's not as tough. The hex plate was really for looks but I'll look into a spike.

Mouth of Greed's drive is Astroflights, and there's 4 Ant batts. There's virtually no weight left to use without sacrificing 3mm Plastic armor. The chassis can't really be shortened because of the chewblades (More of a problem for the HS variant) and replacing 3 Ant batts with a battle pack results in much less longevity. Seems to be nothing that can be done to make space for 3mm Alumium without making a large, possibling battle-changing compromise.

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)


I don't know why you think these robots suck, I personally think they're cool =)

Yeah... you're right. Probably allowed it to have so much empty space because of that problem where the bot goes nuts over a small chassis. Or small wheels. Don't get why, it just happens.

I gotta go with the first next time.
