Scorpio's DSL Bots
« on: January 20, 2010, 08:41:16 PM »
This is a showcase for my DSL-TC bots (gee, who'da thunk?)

My first robot is a LW VS, Psychoblade.

It has low battery life, but other than that it's quite powerful. It also has 3mm Titanium armor.

While you have been gone, we discovered that ant batts are the pwnzorz. Use them instead of your red batts. Try a faster drive motor and use a more damaging weapon.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

You could easily use TWM's or NPC's for drive. Get rid of that cheat control board, and swap the ice picks for heavy ds teeth.

Are the vertical control boards considered cheating? I didn't know.

Weapon is too high.

And yes, 3 or 4 ant batts on this is fine.

Also ice picks have normals, try to avoid these.

use skirt hinge wedges or metal hinge wedges. They are better than static wedges.

Using only ant batts is good on most designs unless you're starting to use Beta bursts.

I'll augment the other batteries' electotal in one of the NAR AI patches.

Here's another robot. It is perhaps one of the (if not THE) first true popups in DSL that not only follows the realistic rule, but is quite efficiant as well.

There are a lot of true popups back then, and SlashBack's probably the first one. :P

Anyway, halfsheet's aren't really that good for defense, so it's better to stick to a single tite sheet. Also, skirt hinge wedges are becoming obsolete nowadays, so turn them into metal hinge wedges.

And based on a recent discovery, BSGs are just as good as Mags despite the stats shown. And 4-5 would be enough for this. :D
Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

How is this a true popup? This has a normal popup setup.

i dont know if ive been on this forum long enough to offer advice but too much empty space. also add more irons or change to razors. and change the extender to polycarbonate.
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

Well Bubbles, you are right.


Though changing the external extenders to polycarbonate might be a bad idea.

Razors are better than Irons for popup weapons.

P.S. I agree with Bubbles, just so I could say Bubbles. Hi Bubbles!
I built that big robot on that TV show that time
