Lilly's Bedroom Robotics: DSL

[Lilleh__]

New robot built for samurai's academy in SSB.  Doloris has a hammer shaped like the head of a guitar w/ strings too!  I had hoped to make the strings on the main body out of the same parts as the one on the weapon but that's one of the things that weight issues meant I couldn't do, so was a shape that wouldn't be so easily doable w/ the ingame chassis maker.  Looks wise I think great idea, but gimped by weight issues.  Going forward I might make my future MWs and CWs OBJs then extenderbots be HW and up only.

I read hft's rules and saw that there's no hard weapon limits, then gears started turning in my head.  As a result I've built Vlad The Penetrator and Father-Less; a rammer w/ 2 Vlad spears and a FBD w/ 4 triple large beaters.

W/ another LORD new blood coming up, I decided now was the time I'd build my next planned HW.  Here's 24, a vert that uses T-Minus flippers as weapon supports, which is smth I've been wanting to try out, and this is also the first asym spinner I've built.  I was also thinking trying an Overkill wedge as an experiment w/ the ground game, but very early on ditched that idea as I quickly realised there was no way I'd be fitting that in the weight limit, as I barely fit this in and had to change the weapon motor from a perm 132 to an etek, and the front motors from npc fasts to single mags, I also switched up an extender setup that I used 4 times in the panelwork, which alone was a weight save of 21kg.  This is the start of me factoring in more than just what weightclass I'm building when it comes to how much drive power I give a robot, since I had to do that so I could do stuff like overvolt the weapon and upgrade materials on the front.
 

Noa's in love w/ Saki.

First new LW in 3.5yrs here.  I've had an idea for ninja stars as a vert for months, and here's what came out of that, a robot themed after a robot, Lumina!  I had the idea for the overall design, then thought afterwards "that's kinda like Electric Boogaloo!, which it is tbh.  Not really sure rn how I feel about the antenna being yellow, but overall I think its a pretty robot, the wedge I initially had flat sides on but switched to wedge corners to save weight so that I had weight for the bars which I've skinned the eyes onto and decent chassis armour.  The eyes are also the first bit of skinning on a robot that I used my drawing tablet for!

They're back!  Slem and Slam have been fused into one single robot, and although its not my best panelwork w/ some noticeable rough edges and the skinning was prolly the least enjoyable skinning work I've done on a robot, I think I've captured how Ram's horn was broken off while Rem's wasn't better in the design features of this new version than in the cluster versions, w/ the Slem side's weapon having one sharp point rather than being a sledgehammer while the Slam side's isn't one point, and the trapping horns at the top of the wedge which the cluster never had, the one on the Slam side is made to look like its been broken off.  Its not 100% what I went for since I had to really penny pinch for weight to get it under 800kg w/ the front drive being dropped from dual mags to single, the bursts being reduced from short to extra short and the weapon heads going from a heavy spike and a meat tenderiser to small teeth.  Prolly gonna at some point down the line see if I can make the panelwork abit more weight efficient and maybe cleaner but for now I'll consider it a finished build.
