So, I've been meaning to test this for a while. I'm not sure if someone else in the forums has done it yet, so I decided to do it myself.

You've all heard of chained spin motors right?

What about chained burst motors?

Thanks to the double burst motors, it has a 180 degree arc. But does it have more power?

Let's see.

Here is a bot, the very same bot from the picture above, same weight, same armor. But, this one only has the top two BSG's wired. The bottom two, are not.

As you can see, this version can only tip the Shredder shell over. There is no significant airtime.

Now, let's see the chained burst motors.

Well, I don't think I need to say anything.

I use chained bursts when I make 4-bar flippers.

Wait, people actually use chained burst motors?

MassimoV · « **Reply #623 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:10:45 PM »

Not for standard, but GRW gave me the idea for a 4-barred flipper with 20% Cooler in 10 Seconds Flat. The first one I made that looked kinda cool was Oscilator.

If you don't mind me asking, what's a 4-barred flipper?

And also, I recently discovered the inviso burst motor for BioHazard, are those legal for BB8?

MassimoV · « **Reply #625 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:39:02 PM »

I don't know the stats on that so not right now. And a 4-bar flipper is like Biohazard or Ziggy, which flips up and moves forward too.

So that's what a 4-barred flipper is.

MassimoV · « **Reply #627 on:** August 17, 2013, 09:49:49 PM »

Yep, pretty much.

lol building unrealistic in DSL

Okay fine, it's more of DSL-S, but whatev.

MassimoV · « **Reply #630 on:** August 25, 2013, 10:01:21 PM »

Yeah it's not breaking the realistic rule. It's more just trying to immitate stock.

Shield · « **Reply #631 on:** August 25, 2013, 10:12:19 PM »

Then I have no choice.

burst stacking here we go

Shield · « **Reply #632 on:** August 26, 2013, 09:29:55 AM »

Guise.

I have an idea.

But it's kinda stupid.

I'm going to try and make an AI Pack, which will basically consist of Starcore bots, rebuilt in DSL. I've got a handful of them built already... (Please note that due to Stacking being harder in DSL, some bots WILL look different, I also haven't skinned them yet...)

I'm not sure what Starcore bot this was supposed to be, but I'm going to have to assume that it was somewhere in Starcore...

Is DSL Unrealistic still a thing?

Shield · « **Reply #634 on:** August 26, 2013, 09:44:05 AM »

Sadly, not anymore.

Which is why I built these, to hopefully let these fearsome designs live on, since most newcomers nowadays play DSL instead, leaving these once legendary foes, to collect dust.

martymidget · « **Reply #635 on:** August 26, 2013, 11:37:32 AM »

DSL unrealistic was never a thing.

And they'd need to be alot better...

In terms of replicating or in terms of effectiveness?

Anyways, updated two of the bots.

Would you prefer Maelstrom to have three perms but no plows, or to have only two perms but with plows?

Also, I'll release the AI Pack with only 3 teams at first, (Spin Doctors, Alien Invasion and Karnage) to see if it fairs well in terms of critical reception. If it is okay and accepted by the community, I will build the rest of the teams.

Shield · « **Reply #637 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:53:38 AM »

Half of Spin Doctors is now finished.

Updated Maelstrom so that it looks more like the original:

And, also managed to build Drone:

Mr. AS · « **Reply #638 on:** August 28, 2013, 01:47:05 PM »

these look pretty good for replicas of stock bots, buuuut TF has two spinners with razors on them.

also the spinner with the circle chassis is hurricane btw.

Shield · « **Reply #639 on:** August 28, 2013, 07:44:30 PM »

An E-tek is around twice as heavy as a Z-Tek, a piglet wouldn't have worked either. But, I'll try and see if there's an alternative.
