Zog's belated DSL Showcase

[Naryar]

Massive overpowerage on that first bot.

And keep it to 1 weapon if you want it to be good

[Zog]

VRam is one of those 'What if' bots. It isn't one of my proper bots. I hate it as well.

So Naryar, what do you think about the other bots?

[Naryar]

The second... well the razor chicken drills aren't probably of much use so I would remove them, and the third not only doesn't needs that much weight on it's wedge, but has too much weight on that mag snapper.

[Zog]

There's nowhere else for me to put the batteries on the third, that's the trouble...

[MassimoV]

Here's some constructive criticism:

I think the first one is a little over powered. It's been mentioned but it's unrealistic. i would shrink the chassis down ,and use small wheels such as hypnos for wheels (just because of realism)

I'm with Naryar on the second bot. The chicken drills won't do as much damage compared to the discs. How many ants are in there? Just like Vertigo said, use multi extenders.

I don't know on the third one.

Good job and try to get some more bots up.

[Zog]

VRam was one of those 'What If' bots. In all fairness, I'm not particularly proud of it either. So I'm not going to enter it into competition.

Here is Brobdignanagian Whacker.
 
I asked Scrap (on XBL) what is the best way to make a VS. He stated bluntly: 'Clone Mako'.
 
Obviously I didn't really want to completely clone Mako, but the basic idea is there.
 

 
Oh, and here is the insides.

[Badnik96]

Definitely isn't a Mako clone.

But it is unrealistic.

[inplabth]

Also, try to widen the drive or move it further forward. Having the drive that close together makes the bot turn quite a bit slower in my experience.

[Scrap Daddy]

way to call me out bro. :P

Hmmm, definatly gett stronger stabilizers since these aren't going to last long. And would I be wrong to say this is underweight?

[Naryar]

Just use 6-7 ants batteries and you have things to learn concerning efficient DSL extender work :P

So I need something different than PA skirts... What would be better then?

And would I be wrong to say this is underweight?

Yes. It is around 798kg.

Ok, I'll use them.


And how can I change the extenders then? 

Definitely isn't a Mako clone.

But it is unrealistic.

How is it unrealistic? And the only thing that I cloned from Mako is the basic weapon setup.

[NFX]

Baseplate Anchors = Fail. Use Multi Extenders, they are lighter, and...that's more or less it. Attach the extenders side point to side point on them as well.

The way you have the weapons now, the bars are cutting through the motors, so you want to put them on the other side of the Perm.

I wouldn't use Shinies in DSL, especially not on a HW like this one. Lose the ramplates and extender work at the back, and stick some Technos on there.

Panic Attack stabilisers only really work on LW bots, maybe MW at a stretch. HW VS's like this tend to have DSL Bars as stabilisers.

[Zog]

Baseplate Anchors = Fail. Use Multi Extenders, they are lighter, and...that's more or less it.

Ok. Didn't know that they attached to the baseplate.

Does it not mention that in the component description?

[Zog]

Never used it because I caught a glimpse of 'It has less hitpoints than the aluminium extenders, however.', so I never used them :P

[NFX]

But you're mounting it on the baseplate, therefore it becomes invincible. =D Hence why nobody likes the cheaty Narmour.

Weapons pass through Perm belt.

[Zog]

Don't worry, I've fixed that.
