I made myself a diagonal spinner.
There's no ai packs yet for me to test it with.
Also I haven't found the perfect diagonal spinner layout yet, so far I've tried;
- disc with beaters on top
- disc with beaters attached
- beater T
- beater H
- beater as seen in the pic
- hexagon with beaters/typhoon teeth
- dsl bars (with beater bars)
I don't know which one to use, they all seem painfully mediocre. (this setup is my favorite because I like how it looks while it's spinning)



Also I made a mundane taxi with four beater bars, but beaters still seem to have normals as they never do any damage whatsoever.

It just gets completely destroyed even against stock ai.



Camemberta won the third prize at BB9.
Also apparently she was real lucky.

Not bad, the skins problrm is probably because you have the image sized wrong (256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, or even 2048x2048 if you're insane).

XD one fail battery.
You should use 3-5 ants on the rammer and 4-6 on... whatever the other thing is.
Smaller chassis also on the rammer.
Extender work is sloppy, read Nary's extender work tutorial.
...and, finally, get rid of those flippermakers.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

It's DSL 3, ants are horrible in DSL 3. The current battery is totally fine.

The baseplate anchors are small and there is a triforce background.

Today's my birthday.

Here's some bots, they all suck and I figured that out thanks to paranoiaAI.

I don't even.


Very wedgy wedge.
Also I really miss the hypnoteeth. They were in almost all my bots and I can't really do anything properly without them because I'm bad at this and hypnoteeth make everything great.

I feel like I'm building crappy dsl2 stuff in dsl3.
Oh well I should make the transition soon enough.


Wow such mundane doge.
It's underweaponed, but that wedge is so wedgy.


I actually drew this one first, it came out exactly like the drawing.
Too bad the drivetrain's sub par, but hey! It's got the dowsy eyes, at least.
That's all I was going for, really.

As always, skins are wip untill I do a big post with hundreds of skins and the second coming of napoleon bonaparte.

You might want to reconsider your design of the poker, since all weapons in DSL3 have normals. You could also be cheap with the chassis-wedge bots by using MCBs. (iOS battery power is pathetic pls fix apple ceo)

Sorry for asking but what's an MCB? Micro control boards or something else?
I honestly don't know.

Alright, considering how I didn't have time to elaborate on the advice as I ran out of batteries on my iPad, allow me to give a more in-depth analysis. First of all, considering how all weapons now have normals now, beater bars are now redundant as they do have normals and may as well be replaced with spikes or teeth. On the subject of the first bot, do not bother with lexan plating at the back of the bot and the spare weight could be invested in HS protection on the sides or more spikes.


With the poker and Mundane Doge (wow such advice, much post) you may want to reconsider your weapon choice and maybe use teeth or spikes instead as mentioned beforehand, and you could use Morse-Code Breaker wedges to make your bots even wedgier. (MCB Wedge documentation available here : wow such citation)


Finally, for the Platypus, you may want to use something different aside from the shell plate. I'm not too sure how well those preform on a flipper, though you might want to use a bunch of flippermakers or extenders to construct a wedge.

Is this close enough or is the hitbox view unreliable?

You should test how wedgy is it with different positions, by that I mean farther forward or not.
