That Robot is a Spy's DSL Showcase

[That Robot is a Spy!]

I think you should use the weapon motor of TDD.

Can't find a way to put it in and it's 4KG's heavier.

[Urjak]

Since when could we use skirt hinges?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Since TDD used one? IIRC.

[That Robot is a Spy!]

Yeah, it has a skirt hinge.

Need to think for some improvements. Think it's 3MM Plastic.

Possible entry for FOTEPX's tourney. Tite 1, 2 Slimbodys and Rubbers and 3 ants.

It looks as if those claws go trough the Perm.

There's millimeters in it, but they don't quite.

[SKBT]

Your weapon bisects the belt and the chassis and bear claws don't look that realistic anyways...

Is there a way to counter act the bisection without putting the bar on top? It goes through the little line under the belt.
And I'll probably give it a name to suit the claws to make it a bit more IRL. At the moment, it's called Pestilence.

[NFX]

Longer Perm is the only way I can think of, or shorter bar.

[That Robot is a Spy!]

I made a new one.
3 ants, Slims with Micros, Magmotor, 8 Lightning Spikes and 1 Tite.

Ya do know Cheatbot2 is allowed, don't ya?

[NFX]

Doesn't look too bad. I still reckon 8 Weapons of a Lightning Spike's size is a bit much for an IRL Sheck Spinner. If you had 8 smaller weapons, such as Light DS Teeth, perhaps arranged in a staggered pattern, I think that would look better. It gives you a taller face to hit the opponent with, and gives you a greater distance between teeth on the same level, so you can get better hits in.

just make it a classic disc HS and don't bother with the shell

I can't be asked using it.

I'll experiment with this and see which is better.

Maybe if this fails. Or maybe for the MW tourney.

Yes, although the point of my advice was to make it look more realistic. IRL building is more about aesthetics than efficiency. Otherwise everyone would just build a wall of razors. If you manage to make it look cool, then that's a big plus. =)

but walls of razors are not IRL building.

And IRL is about building real-life-worthy bots in RA2. That you care more about efficiency or looks while staying realistic is a personal choice.

I went with NFX and made this


12 Steel Teeth, for every 2, another is placed above it. Still Tite 1 but I removed an ant. Also added something on the top to stop me falling straight over and out.

No feedback?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Off-topic: Cropping fail there. Just move the weight/name under the bot picture to make a nice rectangle.

You don't tend to see thin plastic skirts sticking out of the tops of IRL SSs, try a round extender.
