Virus Bomb DSL Showcase
« on: October 21, 2009, 08:04:19 PM »
Considering I was playing DSL before I even thought of downloading Starcore, I'm surprised I didn't make a showcase here first.




One of my older bots, Nasty Bat. I believe the armor was aluminum 3mm. Not sure if the drive was regular NPCs or NPC fasts. The batteries were originally between the weapon motor and the drive, but I moved them up front in an attempt to make the wedge better. I'm aware that aluminum isn't a good armor choice, but when I made this bot, I went for the strongest armor that would still keep the bot a middleweight. I'm guessing that it's overpowered.

I don't see why you couldn't just place the weapon directly on the axle, and take the  small Poly extender off.

Looks quite nice for an older bot though!
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Don't you think those hammers are too much for that motor?

You mean the bar Reier? See the sideways attached 20cm polycarbonate extender? Thats how.

Looks decent enough to me.

The bot I would had entered in RIP


Plastic 3mm, 8 irons, 5 ants, and 3 half sheets for bottom armor. Handles Iron Spaghetti pretty well, causes him to mauler dance. Gut rippers give Beta Byzieru big problems though.

I'm aware that flails on HS can be considered, ghey.

Fixed - but at least it's not generic...

Anyways you can downgrade to 4 ants even 3, get wide ant wheels, a 80cm extender, and maybe 5mm Plastic if you have the weight.

Nice halfsheet triple stacking as well.

Made this in about 10 minutes. It has Npc fasts and 4 60kg sledgehammers, and one halfsheet for bottom protection. The armor is plastic 3mm. Empty space but I don't care.

I don't think you need that rear armor unless it's for stability purposes, otherwise it looks okay.

It managed to get under CRITICAL EMERGENCY and Smashbox 2, not sure against NAR AI because I didn't put it in my game yet.

I tried that before on a Grey Matter upgrade. But they were as poor as skirt wedges due to the upward force the spinners exert. Not sure if yours will work, but I <3 metal hinges. :D

And another Crash Test ripoff...

Anyways, metal hinges are a complete bitch to use on powerful VS.

I'm not even talking about Beta geared ones !
