Finished a rebuild of an old drum of mine which a few people had requested be brought back, and accomplished pretty much everything I set out to with it. Pretty pleased

- Much cleaner,
- Dropped down to be within the HW limit (the old one was ~950kg in current DSL due to my old inefficient building techniques)
- 4WD (2 TWMR2s, 2 TWMRs)
- 48V 4mag for the drum in place of the old un-overvolted etek
- VSmall VDMA for the srimech
- Panel wedge instead of wedgelets

New bot. I'd been wanting to try a US-style flipper using the T-Minus arms for a while, in the hopes that they'd let me make one without having the arm be ridiculously heavy and weak. It sorta worked but probably not as well as I'd hoped tbh.

The odd shading on the skinned T-Minus arms only appears in the botlab. I suspect I could get rid of it entirely by messing with reflection settings in the .gmf, but I can't be arsed with that for now.

Rebuild from scratch + recolour of an old bot of mine (hence the blue and black, though I did swap to neon from dark blue  :gunz:)

Pretty pleased with the panelwork on this one, was able to get everything to mesh just about seamlessly. 2 VDMA front hinges for the flipper, and 2 TWMR2s + 2TWMRs for drive.

Rear could probably be a bit cleaner, but I was constrained on weight and figured it was better to cut the corners there than compromise the seamless look elsewhere

Should be very usable in tournaments, so expect to see it cropping up at some point.

Entry for Botbuster's classic era tournament. I wanted to capture the vibes of a kinda stocky, tanky-looking axe/hammer like the RW S5/6 versions of X-Terminator while still putting my own twist on it. Pretty happy with the results.

It's very underweight and underweaponed by normal tournament standards, but I feel like that fits the classic vibe somewhat.

I also threw together a little RW battleboard for it for a laugh.

Felt like building a britflipper so I did. It's even blue!

Was hoping for it to come out a lil more unique looking based on what I had planned, but it does still have some interesting touches, and I'm pretty happy with the execution too.

4 TWMR2 drive and 2 medium VDMAs for the flipper, and plenty of steel up front. Pretty standard stuff in that respect.

Rebuilt this old thing which some people may remember from PWS back in the day.

I always thought the shape was pretty good, so I mainly focused on improving the execution by lining stuff up a lot better + needing fewer wedge edge gap fills which I used a ton of back then. I did give the rear end a bit of a reprofiling though.

The biggest change is probably the fact that this is a CW now though despite having every single feature the old HW version had.

I love the novel flipper panel shape on Valiant; do you find that it hinders performance relative to a rectangular panel?
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

Perhaps a little, but honestly not as much as you might expect. Since the wedge itself is still full-width, the only real downside is that I have to use a really small smart zone.

As long as the opponent is reasonably centred on the wedge though, I'd say it operates just like a normal flipper.
