S.T.C's DSL Bots

[Sparkey98]

take of the top three center spikes, so it will snag apponents

S.T.C. mostly likely built that to be a rammer and not a wammer. But chassis space can still be minimized if use 2 ants and put them side-by-side in front of the drive and the CB rotated 90 degrees and placed way back. If the skirts' meshes interfere with the wheels, you'll probably need some axle loading (just put a Storm piston on the motor and glitch it out, then remove the burst and attach the wheel), but the setup's still realistic. :D

N00bs are giving advice to decent builders now ?

Anyways, on topic.

@AW: Nice, you might want to lighten that extender work though

@SHW: Damn you i wanted to build something exactly like this ! I'll build that design anyways... and make it better :P

@LW: It's too slow but nice. Also i like how do you attached the weapons with skirt hinges ( <= My idea. am starting to think how this bot looks like NAR AI's Bad Dog :P)

Will you enter a team for NAR AI ? You seem to have enough skill for it.

[S.T.C.]

I'm planning on sending this team to NAR AI,the bots just need a few tweaks and all will be set.
 
EDIT:How does axle loading work again,vever really tried that?

Nary, I am a noob,  but I have been into robot combat WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before I knew about RA2, so I Kinda do know what I'm talking about

[G.K.]

RA2 and real life are completely different.

But the way you post makes it look like you don't know anything about robots.

[Sparkey98]

why do you stalk me? FYI I build ants and beetles in real life, something I doubt you do

[G.K.]

Irrelevant. RA2 works completely different to real life. Popups for example would be terrible IRL, and there is a lot less scope for flippers in RA2.

Well, if you build something that can kill a good number of bots in NAR v2, then you won't have to prove yourself verbally.

As for bot, I suggest dropping the skirt extender and use some regular ones.

its been a while since I built a bot (I tend to wait till a decent idea pops in my head)
here's something I recently made "Pretty Hate Machine"

[Squirrel_Monkey]

*CRAWLER ALERT*

[Jack Daniels]

Haha! That thing is pretty awesome.  If you enter it in a tourney though I think it will start an angry mob. How does it fare in battle?

MikeNCR already made a DSL bot named "pretty hate machine" (with NIN album cover paintjob too) in his showcase.  Maybe you can call this one Downward Spiral?  :P

[S.T.C.]

Downward Spiral it is then lol

I'll soon post a pic of how it would do in battle

[Naryar]

Will be better with stronger discs and stronger weapons just attached directly them with no panels.

[System32]

Agree with naryar. You'll lose most of your weapons before you even touch your opponent!

[S.T.C.]

I'm planning on taking out the panels to add irons,its pretty horrible the way it currently is

[S.T.C.]

DOUBLE POST (woops)
Update on The Downward Spiral

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Could you remove the small disks and upgrade the larger ones?

[Naryar]

Better.

You're 8 kg underweight. Add another ant battery.
