rnifnuf's DSL Cavalcade of Crap

[cephalopod]

Yeah, they're pretty weak if I recall correctly, also with all the hammers being so close they have less chance to generate momentum for very closely consecutive hits. I personally use DSL bars, but your motors might be a bit low for that.

[rnifnuf]

You thump the slump, I'll jump the BUMP.

Barely one year ago, Cutting Wedge II made his debut in my showcase. You guys know how well that went. I then worked on the third iteration, slowly but surely improving. It was the fourth iteration, Cutting Wedge IV, that really shined. He took fourth in a tournament. A DSL2 tournament, aptly named Blades of Glory. In the twilight of the life of DSL2, we have gotten a chance to test DSL3 before it takes over. DSL3 aims to evolve the stagnant metagame.

Who said Cutting Wedge could not evolve with it?

The armor is Steel 3, the drive is TWM3R2 drive-optimized motors, and the name is Cutting Wedge aV.

My main goal with CW aV (Alpha version of Cutting Wedge V) was to bring popups to DSL3. The first thing that I realized when building it was that some very clear changes needed to take place. For starters, Cutting Wedge is now longer than he is wide. In response to Hypno wheels being slowed down, I strengthened the drive. Gone are the razors that made the previous iterations, particularly CW IV, so powerful. In their place, there are spike strips, still providing him with plenty of strength.  For those who cannot tell, there are three Battlepacks and four ants, giving enough power to provide his adversaries with a swift and untimely death.

ADVANTAGES:
+Fast
+Wedgy
+Destructive
+Self-Righteous

DISADVANTAGES:
-DSL3 is not complete, so its greatness is not finalized.

Thoughts?

[Naryar]

like it, pretty original for a popup.

[rnifnuf]

Bump. But let me explain.

My explanation is this bot. Armor is Steel 5.

One bright sunny day that I could have used to aimlessly wander around my yard, I decided that the world did not have enough angled horizontal spinners. Thus, this thing was born. I call it the Gray Ring of Death because it rips things up even in the face of wedge AGOD. For weapons, it has nine large beaters and eighteen LDS teeth. Although it has four wheels for drive, it only uses two for steering to ensure that it doesn't fly off. In case you can't see it, the weapon motor is a 6-mag, all four of the drive motors are Fast NPC's, and there are five ants in the chassis.

ADVANTAGES:
+Fast
+Destructive
+Stable
+Wedgy (in theory)

DISADVANTAGES:
-Not actually very wedgy (wedge AGOD)

I trust that you guys will help me improve this bot as much as possible. I don't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition.


NOBODY expects The Spanish Inquisition!

Its chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear, fear and surprise--its two weapons are surprise and fear and regular NPC's--its three weapons are surprise, fear and regular NPC's and an almost fanatical devotion to Trov. Its four weapons...

Amongst its weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, regular NPC's, and an almost fanatical devotion to Trov, and Steel 5 armor--Oh, dang it! Lost in the first round.

Lol monty python
The HS looks Awesome, my only worry is that if one LDS tooth comes off, it will become unstable

The VS has the same problem, it will become unstable

[090901]

VS is fine and has the standard weaponry for a VS, however you can trade of all those flipper makers you have on it for just 2 titanium sheets.

Armor is Plastic 3

This is DoDeathAgon. This is the name because geometry jokes are funny.

This bot has twelve shell pannels. A twelve-sided 2D figure is called a dodecagon.

As funny as geometry jokes are, this bot lives up to its name. Using the "Hand-in-Hand Beater Bars" demonstrated on Gray Ring of Death, I have created a highly destructive, omnidirectional shell spinner. This means, of course, it could spin either right or left, depending on my general mood. Although it may look disappointingly unstable because of the Ronin flags, it actually has a perfectly balanced spin because the hitbox for the Ronin flags is just a tall, rectangular box centered over the attachment point. Besides, skirts are boring and flags are cool.

Seriously, those Beater Bars look like they are holding hands. This can only mean one thing: ROBOTIC WORLD PEACE! Everyone go home, Robotic World Peace has been achieved so RA2 no longer exists XD

ADVANTAGES:
+Highly destructive
+Stable, contrary to appearances
+Contains ironic subliminal messages about world peace

DISADVANTAGES:
-LDS Teeth rip off fairly easily
-Weak to popups, but then again, what isn't?

Thoughts?

I got a 2-hour late start for school today. This is how I used that time:
(Image removed from quote.)
Armor is Plastic 1. There are three ants and nothing is attached to the farthest shell panel. Avocados are poisonous to parrots.

Guys I did it. I made an antweight shell spinner. Probably not the first, but I made one. It doesn't have a name, though.

ADVANTAGES:
+The sheer fact that its an antweight shell spinner.

DISADVANTAGES:
-Everything else (poor armor, only two weapons, crappy steering, etc.)

Thoughts?

you bastard ive been working on this so hard

ah well


youll see mine soon
its more of the same really

LALALALA: I can't hear you over the sound of HAVING A NEW BOT!

Armor is Steel 3.

Since the release of DSL 2.2, I have been renovating some of my older DSL bots. This is one such bot, a heavyweight popup I made a while back known as Ripping Wedge II ("II" is for being a redesign of the original).

This robot is a jack-of-all-trades machine; It packs speed, defense, and power effectively. Though steep, bots still ride the wedge with relative ease, leaving their undersides to be ripped apart (hence the name Ripping Wedge).

The large panel jutting out of the top of the robot IS a srimech. This bot needs one because the weapons simply are not close to long enough to right it. Still, this works very well, and I would like to mention that slow mag bursts make phenomenal srimech motors. Normally, the srimech is down and fires outward; in the picture, it is fully extended in order to show the batteries.

ADVANTAGES:
+High power
+Wedgy
+Moderately fast
+Excellent frontal armor, effective against spinners

DISADVANTAGES:
-Needs a srimech (Not really that bad in all actuality, but still a slight hindrance)
-Probably somewhat slow for a popup

Expect more bots of a similar nature soon.

Looks cool,

Without knowing that much about the DSL2.2 Power mechanics, do you really need all those batts?

[rnifnuf]

Without knowing that much about the DSL2.2 Power mechanics, do you really need all those batts?

From looking around DSL 2.2's files, I concluded that every battery has arbitrarily high electoral (amperage). However, the power that each battery supplies varies. If the in-game descriptions are accurate, then four PC-565 batteries should be sufficient to power the bot for three minutes.

[09090901]

you could probably use a single pc625 and either a battlepack or wp8. 4 is just complete overkill.
