^^ Agreed with the armor.

How does it fair in the arena ? For me, most of my single-spinner wedged fast HS fail because of the damn recoil..

Oooo, Nasty Bat looks nice.  No, I take that back.  It looks mean.  Really mean.


@Naryar: I've had no small amount of success with Anathema





I think long weapons are your friend with this design.  Also, having wedges at least on the sides helps with the recoil problem.

An angled HS I don't really like. Havoks a little, and the weapon motor comes off occasionally during matches. The first picture was an older picture when it had plastic 3 for armor, and the bot actually weighs around 242-243 due to plastic 5.

Ooh I like. Can it self-right well? I've tried rebuilding The Apache with a Mag but it could hardly self-right.

Self righting is so-so. I'll probably go back and add an extender on the bar.

Basically a DSL version of Sage's Pulse. 12 ants I believe, and Aluminum 10 until I find something better to do with the weight. Good wedges.



2 ants, Titanium 1.

You might want to change those halfsheets to something better (probably steel sheets) and 10mm plastic. :D

And the hammer looks nice as well. :D

WOOHOO A DSL PULSE CLONE!

It looks a little long, and it could be hard to get bots all the way up to where the razors are. try shortening the wedges, beefing up the front armor, and maybe a secondary weapon? Looks good.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

These bots were supposed to be for a team in NAR AI, but I pretty much never play DSL now. I might still try to get the team done.



True popup. 4 ants, 3mm plastic, 2wd regular NPCs, and 4 light DS spikes on one BSG.



Clone of Nary's new Hazcon, and was made about a month ago. 4 ants, 1mm titanium.

Noooo ! Why are you leaving now ??

Not too much of a klone... it doesn't looks invertible and mine looks like it has the better wedge.

Rebuild of one of my NAR AI bots. 799.9, 4 ants, 2WD npc fast, 10mm plastic IIRC. Any ideas to make it better and less of a clone?

I'm kinda pissed off that the VS previously posted had AGOD :mad: , so it has to be rebuilt.

Two new bots



3 ants, astroflight drive and a tornado mer gearbox for the weapon. Titanium 1. I'm starting to think that I should had went with a E-Tek for the weapon instead.



Plastic 5, 8 ants, 2WD NPCF drive. Untested. This bot is on the same team as those two gut rippers I posted a month ago. Not sure if I can send the team out now; I probably can't.

That hammer looks deadly if the wedges are good.  The only problem is that those extenders are a weak link in your otherwise-impenetrable front.  But not much you can do about that and still keep them curved.


And yeah, an Etek is probably a better weapon motor for most MW shell spinners, unless you really need a lot of speed.

The hammer seems to do well enough. Beats shell spinners easily just like I wanted it to, but haven't tried it against anything else.



Plastic 3, 3 ants, 247.something. On the same team as the hammer. Pretty fine.

If anyone knows how to prevent spin motor AGOD in DSL, tell me now.

'Tis good to see a good trapper/hammer hybrid.

And you can send the team but it'll be in v2.4 if it's not completely ready now.

With NAR AI 2.4 coming out in July, I decided to make another team. Here's the third HW on it



6 ants, weapons powered by perm 80s, Titanium 5. MY first HW juggler. Weight was 798.5 IIRC.

Kinda surprised that I'm messing around with DSL more.

Do the plows really help much ?

Edit: O WAIT... plows on a juggler... you just gave me an awesome idea.
