Title: Tourdeforce's showcase
Post by: tourdeforce on November 08, 2008, 06:35:29 AM: Hey, everyone! Seeing as my good friend Ice the Frosty Cat recently did a showcase, I thought it was time I did my own.
PLEASE NOTE: I have had the game just over a year and I rarely stack (though I have started stacking batteries), use teeny chassis etc, so please don't be too harsh on my robots. Apart from that, all comments and criticism appreciated. Cheers also to Ice for uploading all the pictures (because my computer won't let me do it myself).
First up, Cheese Grater

(http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c173/link3908/Cheesegraterinternals.jpg) This is meant to be a sort of response to Wheely Big Cheese (Same wheels, Cheesy pattern etc.). As you can see, it uses a mixture of stock and DSL because I made this before i got the patch and didn't realize stock parts were considered cheating. It used to have 3 black batteries and one orange because I had no idea about over-powering :tongue:. But I changed it to the smaller batteries you see now (I did that right before I took the picture, which is why it's lighter in the second one). The blades are awesomely destructive and it hardly ever loses against AI. Anyway here's a battle shot

I ripped off all of Velociraptors left side, including wheels, and some of the front weaponary protection and a bit off the other side. I really like this robot, although it is hard to control. Ice has made a couple of upgraded versions, the most recent one with two razer claws (even better than this one i think)

I'll have more robots soon.

I think that you can still cut down alot of the nose without sacrificing a realistic look or giant chassis. then you could also lower it about 1/3.
