Yup. And avoid steel as well.

Been a while since I posted here.. here's a rushed multi-post.

Stealth. Based off.. um.. Stealth Terminator, whatever it was that LRA2 made. Much better ofcourse, and half the weight. It's still more of a showbot though.

Iron Omnivore. Metal Omnivore's upgrade.

Unnamed bot. First respectable popup above the LW category.

yea i like stealth as well.
when i first saw it i was like thats a cool drum bot.
and then i read the description and realised it was a rammer.

Whoops, major Typo on Stealth. That should be 391kg. Oh well.

Thanks. Heh.

Stealth also look cool. But You don't need to waste weight on a large chassis and anchors and T connector. You can attach the skis directly multi-extenders so you can have a smaller chassis. A suggestion, though. Would it look cooler if the wheels are in between the curved part and the neck of the skis? And the sledges would be in between the part of the skis that stick out. :D

Stealth looks good.

RedSawn · « **Reply #88 on:** November 29, 2009, 09:14:52 AM »

.. No comments for other bots..? :|

For the BW, I know it's quite hard to build a popup with that weight limit, but it looks nice. Try using wide ants and see if there's an increase in speed. As for the HW, those sides are still a bit unprotected. You need to widen your frontal armor to resist shell. :D

I like your style!

I wish I had this bot for the DSL HW BOTM that just passed.

It grinds, it throws, it flips. Very high repetitive damage coupled with the ability to toss heavy objects (and the car) like toys.
The srimech could be more effective, but it does get the job done.

You can easily remove 2 battlepacks and one ant battery, maybe even 2.

Incredible bot Redline!

Check out my Steel Reign replica in my DSL showcase... the grinding weapon is similar, but note the way the teeth are set up. I found that having the teeth set up in a step-like fashion worked better. It protects the extenders better and does not get hung up on bots as much. The grinding capabilities flow better rather than suddenly stopping sometimes.

Just a suggestion. You make awesome bots.

RedSawn · « **Reply #94 on:** January 17, 2010, 04:24:57 PM »

Hmmm, this showcase gets so little comments..

, I don't think things have strayed off-topic. Am I thought of as some no-nonsense badass or something?

Anyway.. ta, you guys. Yeah, I wasn't paying attention to the ampage, though admittedly I don't know where else the weight could go minus (less efficient) armor.

Here the teeth snagging seems to be OK - it wouldn't make much of a juggler anyway admittedly, with a direct vertical setup. Perhaps a more suitable "bot type" for it is a Undercutter VS. It can rip off pretty much any armor within seconds when it gets hung up - Perhaps not the best example, but I de-weaponed Backyard Shredder, destroyed the front steel wedge sheets, the connecters behind those, and KOed it, all in about 4 seconds.

Bots can still get over them too, which then they are thrown back infront of RT by the srimech bars, probably flipped too, meaning a even worse position most of the time.

You know what they say about mag snapper, it's not that good. BSG is probably better for 2 dsl bars, but the color is another matter.

You can probably use the extra weight to upgrade the weapon extenders, so they don't go WOOSH on contact.

RedSawn · « **Reply #96 on:** January 18, 2010, 12:46:35 PM »

Nobody told me Mag Snappers weren't good...?

G.K. · « **Reply #97 on:** January 18, 2010, 12:49:35 PM »

Apparently they have the same power. I haven't found that myself.

I think you have to consider it a bizarre compliment. My showcase is the same way... Yet a showcase like Sparkey's will jump up to 25 pages in a matter of three weeks because everyone likes playing "tackle the noob".

Fun sport btw, kinda like rugby without an actual playing field.

So, yeah, you build pretty awesome bots. Once you reach a point of respect I think that you can only truly warrant advice from the wise of the wise. (Naryar... 123stw... Scrap... etc) Lack of advice from anyone else is a silent compliment to your achievements. You just have to imagine that, whenever you showcase something excellent, all of the viewers of your thread are to busy shi**ing themselves with excitement and awe.

Hope this helps explain some things.

Oh... and Naryar is working on his AI pack, so I think DSL showcase feedback will tumble downwards by about 90 percent while he is busy.

Well, the both have the same torque on the txt, and max speed usually doesn't count for much in a burst motor since you can't pre-spin it like a spin motor.

Speaking of that, I think the dsl bars can be replaced with, say samurai sword. Although it might not look as good afterward.
