Awesome.



And now a HW. 3 judge bursts. I noticed only two are allowed for HWs so I'll change the side hammers at some point.
I think the bot is too narrow to clamp on bots as planned.

A general question :
Why the DSL bots are always made with more awesome skins than the stock bots???

Haha, true, it's not a good clamper. But it's fun. And actually pretty tough too.

Speaking of skins...



Though I'm still not sure what to do really.
Side hammers are mag snappers now as planned. Some big orange batts were added for more efficient powering, comes to 798.7kg.

Looks pretty solid, how did you add the whiteness on top of the transparent layer?

It's not a transparent layer, but to make the effect you screenshot the insides of the bot top-down and map it to the skin template. Then you put semi-transparent layers on top of it.

I know that but when I do it it just looks like I didn't put armor on top.

Set the opacity of the white layer lower.

Haha, thanks. I guess calling it the Hall of Lame doesn't help.



MW entry idea if I don't just go for Executioner (senior). At the least it's better then The Boxer Returns.

Looks nice, maybe if the wheel guards were turned so they protect the wheels directly it would look a bit better.

Yeah, it was originally designed around Backlash wheels but they couldn't keep grip upside-down. Could use VDMAs and reduce the width of the bot though.

Move ramplates forward so it actually protects stuff more.

I had a fascination with Ronin.


The ground clearance is so low it beats Razorback way more then it should.
21kg per anchor, how should I spend it in weapons? Armor needs to be good so the bot can last.
(Yes I know I used anchors, I really can't be arsed fiddling with multi-extenders)

Weapon setups I have used:
Two large beaters, they connect at a right angle and extend onto the chassis wedge so they can be rammed/wammed with. Pretty good but I don't know if it's straying too far from stock Ronin.
Spike strips. Not as effective but keeps the spirit while not being useless from anywhere but the sides.

looking good, maybe change the wheels a bit so they stick out the top more like the original ronin?

i know tornado spikes weigh 15kg and sir K drills are 20, but sir k drills would look like crap, so maybe tornado spikes/lighter weapons and more armor would be good.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

When on the ground the chassis weighs down the axles, which have enough give to make them 'stick out the top more' but also give such low ground clearance the bot isn't instantly decimated by sheet wedges.

This effect gives rise to this:

(Yes I know Hypnos on NPC Fasts aren't new, but I'm saying they poke out of the top of the chassis when in combat)
There's not much armor difference between Aluminium 10 and Steel 5 so it really saves around 40kg, used it to get some Hypno wheels for ramming speed and line the top of the chassis with beaters for wamming capabilities, while not entirely killing the aesthetics of stock Ronin.
