smashysmashy's DSL crapcase

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Yeah, either 2 Large JXs or 4 BSGs. Try to get NPCF + Hypno drive.

[Naryar]

Four BSGs or two JX's. A Beta is generally not worth it because it's just too heavy and large and power draining to be used to good effect in a MW. Sure you CAN build a MW beta flipper, and you can even make it decent, but it's either too slow or fragile or underpowered.

Plus standard betas have standard hitpoints. A hit on them will make them smoke, cutting their torque in half.

too slow or underpowered?

SKBT, SM and all those have managed npc+hypnos with full power iirc :P

With barely any armor ? Hence my point of too fragile.

The armour isn't that fragile, there are quite a few mw's with less armour.

NEW BOT

First ever VS in DSL.

[SKBT]

I love the name but I see some things I think you need to do:

Use the rest of the weight, you have 57kg left. You could have protected the chassis or added more weapons. I don't think 120kg of weapons is enough for a HW VS. Also I don't exactly see the benefits of plows on the stabilizers that far out. And finally the weapon looks a bit to high to hit low bots.

Point=taken.
Will do later, but now I have homework to do =D

[Squirrel_Monkey]

So you made Cash Cow with less weapons and a slightly worse setup?

And cash cow is?

[FOTEPX]

First ever VS in DSL.

OH GLORY HALLELUIAH, A VS, IN DSL! THEY SAID IT COULD NEVER BE DOOONE!

No, but all jokes aside, that Weapon setup needs improving, big time. Also, something tells me that you're gonna need that extender work lighter, and that motor more further out. Also, Armour?

123's famous VS:

[cephalopod]

Check out some of my VS for help on the stabilizers. (:

[The Ounce]

The chassis looks way too tall, and the extender on the perm is unnecessarily heavy.  I agree you could use the spare weight to add light DS teeth to the ends of the beaters so it would have at least as much weaponry as Cash Cow.

[smashysmashy]

woah, woah, woah! Information overload! Thanks for all your imput   , but I'm going to have to jot down a whole list for this one :P

Thanks Craaig, I will scour your whole showcase but I already know a bit about blood orange anyway :D

Also, I have a huge urge to put a DSL bar with 70kg hammers on. Me being a noob?

[NFX]

Not at all. 70kg hammers on a Dual Perm make an excellent throwing weapon for kicking opponents up into the air. You just need to watch if one of them comes loose, it can cause instability.

[MassimoV]

Not bad, but it will easily get out weaponed.

[cephalopod]

DSL bar with 70kg hammers on a dual perm is my favourite weapon (especially if you have an extra 10kg to put a small DS tooth on the end of each hammer, nom :D) but yes, one hammer coming off will probably result in a lot of wobbling and flipping around.

Yeah, but those hammers are pretty sturdy buggers :D

Hammers it is then :P

New bot!
Me and ty4er been working on this for a while.



Insides have 4 ants and a blue control board. IRL realistic and made to be pretty =D

[smashysmashy]

DP.

Any thoughts?

[NFX]

I like the looks of it, personally, but it would be even better if it was invertible.
