It's really been 11 months? Jeez. Well here comes a DSL 2.1 dump. The theme? Battlebots X rejects.

LW:


Madd, the Junk Mailer hasn't changed much since Battlebots 5/6. More wedge makers on the front and a spike strip instead of the iron spike/tooth combo, it's still more showy than effective. The nail on the coffin is not being able to have a good, invertible 4WD system with a Judge burst and still have a weapon that won't havok every pop.

MW:
(Not pictured: Ronin II and Junkyard Warrior, both are unchanged since BB5/6. Just wanted to enter something new)



... Yes. Not interesting, not strong, it's just a skin with wheels.



Crocodile. Cool idea, couldn't stand by it. Not sure if it'd pass the IRL check based on the long spikes on hinges



Hazard wannabe. Damage gimped because of the normals on the bar and the awkward ways bots drove up the wedge. Wasn't worth figuring out a solution.



Hypnodisc wannabe. Good damage, points for style, but srimech havoks. It's not a judge burst either.



Rammer robot thingie. Experimenting with side skirts mostly. Compact as all hell, but not interesting enough.

For the heavyweights, there's only bots I've shown before. Shard and BAM BAM. Shard may return again someday. I think I made BAM for one of the BBs but just never got around to entering.

Is there a reason the bar on the Hazard bot is upside down?

Badnik: None of them, actually. The dump is of rejects x) You'll see soon enough
Kurt: Figured it was a straight sideway normal and it'd have a better chance to hit with it's widest edge on top.

They look pretty cool though. Biggest Blackest Box for some reason attracted me for being the most boring bot in the post.
