Spinner Of Doom is so much more than the definition of generic that it hurts.

Lemon one looks cool.

My friend told me to build a Typhoon based bot.. i did it..

DO NOT PO- yeah i'll shut up

But srsly, Spinner of Doom is unrealistic as is Darkness due to intersecting components. I am not entirely sure about L-E-Mon Aid's realism, but at least its cleaner compared to the other 2 'bots. Its problem seems to be that it is underweight, though, so make sure it is built up accordingly.

You really need to make your 'bots realistic. When building, always think if its possible to do something IRL, save for ring spinners due to their weird quirks.  If it isn't possible IRL, then do not do it.
I mean who said he was building IRL here? That said, if these are DSL-S builds then you really need to increase the weapons. Either make them IRL or beef thme up so that they can be competitive against DSL-S bots.

That implies anyone uses DSL 2.2 for Standard nowadays. Besides, the builds he went for looked IRL, over anything.

I updated SOD:

I had to remove components to rotate the motor.. now it doesnt intersect the parts and it even leaves space for batteries.. which i filled with

The armor plates are.. huh.. well balancers.. the idea was that i placed the longer (back) ones for self righting..  the issue was that the teeth would go trough ground and well.. it would jump.. i added the front so it doesnt jump anymore

The final product... The wedge thingy at the top is well.. a typhoon like flag... It shows me direction of the bot.. and it is also helpful for the self righting..
Thoughts now?
Is it IRL?

Why the hell are the images so large and why are you using your phone to take pictures still.

Offline ty4er

dude dont take pictures of your bots with your phone, theyre huge and in a terrible format and just nasty quality

on the bot tho you could probably just get rid of the chassis altogether and make a large base armourplate to put all the components on with ra2cf
DSL Showcase
is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought

Serious lack of weaponry for a HW shell spinner, I think. And if you're putting everything outside of the chassis anyway, you should use a pixel chassis
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

wait wait wait wait let me get this right... you're powering a hammer with a TWM3R? Why would this ever be a good idea?
