My first SHW appears:

Tita 5 this time, bit slower and the insides are virtually the same apart from the new position of the burst motor and new batteries

Thoughts?

Looks a bit bulky to me, maybe you could make it shorter?
I like the idea of the weapon itself, looks like some sort of evil death rake :P
I think it would look better 4 wheel drive, but then you would risk making it look like a generic Tornado type bot I guess.

It's given me a cool idea of my own though, I may give that a go later.

Interesting old fashioned style, I love it!

why is this a SHW ? looks like a HW to me, and a HW-level design as well...

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #64 on:** April 08, 2014, 04:15:50 PM »

Could get much lighter if you downgrade the armor to 1mm Titanium or 3mm Plastic.

Just thinking I should up this up a bit more and showcase bots of all DSL, time to get back into DsL 2.1 since all tournaments use it.

Anyway I am going to kick DSL 2 building off with my Battlebots 9 entries (Remember to tell me if they're IRL, the tournament is)

My LW, Chew

Tell me if you would like to see insides

MassimoV · « **Reply #66 on:** April 12, 2014, 04:28:58 PM »

I'm so confused to what this is.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #67 on:** April 12, 2014, 04:30:45 PM »

Its supposed to be a sort of drill
I just wanted to create something wacky and weird, but is it IRL?

Shield · « **Reply #68 on:** April 12, 2014, 11:12:51 PM »

those wheels on the extenders won't move unless you add the 360 axle

yea, confused, can we have a video showing how it works?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 13, 2014, 02:18:08 AM »

Well I could just go and show the insides, the weapon is mounted on a horizontal piglet

I don't thing there are any 360 degree axle mounts in DSL 2.1

KOS · « **Reply #70 on:** April 13, 2014, 02:48:51 AM »

There Are 360° Axle Mounts, they're under flails.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #71 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:36:32 AM »

Yeah I found them, thanks

Will put up the the insides of chew but I've been working on my MW

Here it is; Vertical Uplift:

Al 5, good srimech and I like the skin

Thoughts? Is this good to enter?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #72 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:58:32 AM »

DP(sorry)

Here is Chews insides:

I don't think I mentioned it but the armour is plastic 5
And here is VU's insides:

so this is how the team stands so far:

Thoughts on any of the bots?

From what I understand, FS' (Face Spinners, Ala Rapid Pit Bull or anything with a spinning disc on the front like a drill of sorts) is almost automatically not IRL. Same goes to pop-ups.

But Chew looks.... unique. Should wait for the more experienced members to give advice. Also, might wanna replace the baseplate anchors with Multi extenders instead, they're lighter and smaller.

In DSL 2.1, you only need one ant battery per spin motor, burst motors (Mag snappers, judge bursts and what not) still require the listed battery power. Does VU use a judge burst or a mag snapper?

I do believe there was a face spinner on RW once, might be wrong

Aren't multiextenders not IRL? I swear they aren't

VU uses a judge burst, thats why I want it to have good batteries to power the damn thing

Shield · « **Reply #75 on:** April 13, 2014, 10:06:11 AM »

There was? Huh. Better wait for the more experienced members first. Or build a back up LW in case Chew gets rejected idk

As long as they stay in/completely out of the chassis they're fine. No peeking through the chassis walls kinda stuff.

I see. Looks pretty good to me, let the older members decide for the batteries tho.

Yup will keep a sharp eye

I'm not completely sure, but I swear there was

Badnik96 · « **Reply #77 on:** April 13, 2014, 10:16:23 AM »

Yeah BattleBots (IRL) had a few face spinners, I think that whole no FS campaign was because of a really really bad IRL bot Garvin entered in the first BattleBots.

If we could see some closer up shots of the bots that might help.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #78 on:** April 13, 2014, 10:20:14 AM »

What do you mean by closer? Insides or Outsides?

And a close up of what? batteries, motors etc

Badnik96 · « **Reply #79 on:** April 13, 2014, 10:34:56 AM »

wait, i just saw the two pics above the teamshot. Never mind :P
