Zyro_Falcon's DSL Showcase

You can use multiextenders instead of that baseplate anchor/extender setup.  In fact, never use baseplate anchors in DSL - multiextenders do everything baseplate anchors can do, and then some.

Got it, although there's a discrepancy in its two connection points; one of them is placed further in than the other. So I'm using two multi-extenders in the back.

It now looks even more like it does in Ironforge!



^It hit me in that I could use the other control slots for different orientations of my bot: normal, backwards (for driving the wedge) and inverted; should make driving less confusing.

Along my way, a few days ago, I found out - simply because I wanted to delete parts faster - that I could press the Delete key after selecting a component to remove it. I'm told already that F12 displays their collision boxes and F11 takes a screenshot. What other shortcut keys might I be missing out on? I would've liked to map my 'Inverted' controls to Home-Del-End-PageDown, but I don't want any key command conflicts.

Try getting rid of those chassis shapes at the front and mounting the perms externally. You might save enough weight to add another disc of teeth on the top of each perm. Also flippermakers are really useful as extenders. 3kg, 1000hp.

Got it; Electro Falcon now upgraded with double the damage.
Forgot about the flippermakers though!

Twin variants using 132 and 80 each.


I can't get over its pretty falcon/bird shape ;v;

those ramplates suck hard in this game unfortunately. If you want something maybe a little challenging to try and do to protect your wheels, perhaps try using steel skirts and axle loading your wheels so your wheels are partially covered by them. I can't produce an illustration right now but hopefully you might get the idea, at least if you check up on how to axle load and its uses.

also the former setup with the 132s is a lot better simply because 132s have loads of hitpoints and 80s have very few.

[Zyro_Falcon]

Axle loading...?

. Are there any bots that would require this when building realistically, that is, because of limitations in the game compared to real life?

you are in DSL, so you are supposed to build semirealistically.

basically: nothing that makes the laws of physics scream in outrage
