Brownie points to whoever gets the reference.
Aaaaaaaanyway...
I got an idea after remembering something Christian Carlberg (Minion, Dreadnought, Overkill) said: Drivetrains win championships. I set out to create a fast bot whose speed and armor could make up for its weak weaponry. After several days of tweaking, I finally created a bot who can beat anything it gets under. Named after an RA2 legend, here is...

Wicked fast and able to take quite a beating. The weapon's off-center, I know, but I worked so hard to get JUST the right weapon that I don't care.
-
Interesting.... Is it really that powerful?
-
Cool bot and is that a reference to that yugioh thing on youtube
-

Decide for yourself:

And yes, it's a reference to Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. Pure gold.

lu-tze died. yugioh was interesting before they ruined it. used to be a strategy game. now its just luck of the draw crap. "OMg my ABCWYZX DUEL BLASTED WARRIOR OLYMPUS just destroyed you and i win!!! hahah. ha.
the show was even worse.

I'm well aware of her death. It's a tribute.
It's the Abridged Series. It makes fun of the show. Just look it up.
-
pretty nice. you could get rid the crazy heavy wheels though... upgrade batts. much easier to just use those orange batts (2 or 3) than all those lil ones
-
The wheels give awesome grip, so that's why I use them. As for the batteries...you're probably right.
-
I'm surprised you were able to beat Grog and Big Metal Friend. That weapon motor looks like it would be a very juicy target for them. Do you ever have problems with it falling off?
Also, I wouldn't call that "weak weaponry". Two 70kg hammers is quite respectable, especially considering that bot's drive.
-
I don't, actually. They tend to ride up on the wedge and then get knocked skyward. She's fast enough to where they don't get an opportunity to whack the motor.

More brownie points for guessing the reference.
He's basically the bastard child of Inertial Deathlock and Blue Moon. He's quick, but his lack of invertibility is an issue.
I have a smaller version, a middleweight, that's invertible, but he can only run at full power for half a match. Near the end, he can barely move enough to avoid being counted out. Should I risk that and enter him in BBEANS? He can obliterate Lock Nut and Tempest.

Aqua Teen :O
I know nothing of dsl so I cant really say anything about the bot.....
-
Not willing to pretend to know more about DSL, than Scrap Daddy, i say:...
It is crappy...:shock:
no ,no...ehm..., I mean...:redface:
it's.... different... :ermm:
a bit crazy, tough...ahem...:ermm:
and new...great...:blackeye_smily:
yes, yes,... it is great...singn it in! :-D
Yes, you should send this bot to BBEANS.
At least if you are really hot, to lead the looser bracket and if you want to give me big hopes, to win at least against one of the bots in this tourney. Mwuahaha! :biggrin:
-
I've been on a big "disk as a chassis" kick recently, so here's my middleweight spinner and his sequel.

The only differences are that Impregnable has only two battlepacks, while I2 has that and two ant batteries. The weapons on I2 are weaker, though, as are the connectors holding the motors to the disk. Impregnable can barely last a match, and is just crawling by the end. I2, I think, can last much longer. Both are invertible, but vulnerable to pop-ups. Which is superior?
-
Nice designs. Impregnable looks like an excellent balance between offense, defense, and control. With the concept of balance in mind, I'd say I2 is superior, but it really depends on what bot you're fighting, and how quickly you can usually get KOs.
The End is just crazy. That one is all offense--it must be even harder to control than Blue Moon.
-
He's zippy, but he's just so unstable. It's hard to fight for long.
But he's fun to mess around with, so it's a success for me.
-
I HAFF RETURNED.

Meet Harbinger, my first effective LW. Had an amusing clash with Jules last night, and fought evenly with the three machines he sent at me.
http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot120ci3.png
He does not break the Realistic Rule; the weapon passes above the internals.
Not invertible, but he bounces right back over if he's flipped.
Rematch: DOAM vs. Smitemare with Jules:
http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot123pe7.png
Both hammers on both bots got knocked off. It was damn close.
-
What is weapon power on Harbinger
-
TWM3R?
You could make this way better by changing armor to titanium, building in a square chassis and removing batts.
-
Theres no weapon motor
-
There is no way this can be a rammer/SnS with a drive train that weak.
-
Somebody needs eyeglasses.
It's a double TMW3R, the same kind CB uses for Megawhirl.
The only real problem he has is that the motor falls off too easily.
And don't be fooled; he's quite zippy.
-
If you call that zippy, then i don't know what you would call my LW's with hypno wheels and Drive TWM3R motors...
-
Is this a HS or is it a rammer.
-
HS. The dual Mag is perfectly hidden by the DSL bar blade.
-
I don't get too long to look at them, becasue after about 5 seconds, imageshack crashes my browser and I can't look at it anymore.

Two 30kg hammers spun by a TWM3R2. Can do major damage, but is prone to tipping and havoking.
I just tried to cram as much weapon into it as I could.
1mm aluminum
-
4 ant batts ? (possibly more) I see you took my teaching into account :-)
-
Sorta reminds me of a mini TuniT 3... =)
-
Naryar was close. 5 ant batts; one under the motor, three on one side, one on the other.
-
Thank you for posting on the page! That does look alot like TuniT 3. That is a pretty robust weapon for a LW. Nice job.
-

I've heard that before.
