DSL TC Showcases / H@zm47's DSL Showcase

« on: October 13, 2008, 12:50:14 AM »

May as well start up a DSL Showcase.
I've been playing DSL a lot more than stock recently (most tourneys at the moment have used DSL for some strange reason) and have come up with some pretty good designs IMO. One of the was my RAW entry Archimandrite V but I won't post pics here (unless they are requested) because most of you have seen it already. So my first bot on this showcase will be:

FALCON PUNCH!!
Sorry for the crap splash...


The name was inspired by this demotivational poster:


In short all I've done is taken Sage's Pinball and made it invertible (like Haymaker). KO's most DSL AI and surprisingly doesn't appear to be under powered despite only having 2 of those long black batts for power.

And for a second bot:
FRANCIUM
Another crap splash...


One of my crazy ideas to see what would happen if Infernal Contraption 2 and Shebeast found a way to mate. It's one of my better bots and I wish I could have built it before RAW (see splash).

I've AIed both these bots and they both do quite well AIed however I can't get Falcon Punch to spin like Pinball does in RAW so any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

Comments and feedback accepted :)

Stock Showcases / H@zm47's showcase

Thought is was about time i set up a showcase for my bots. All the battleshots use Starcore v1 AI, I have 2 and 3 sitting somewhere on my computer as well. Click the thumbnails for a bigger image.

First Robot
SPIRITOMB


Yes I know it's a pokemon. Just so happens i play pokemon as well.

Internal


1 black battery for power
HP Z-tek drive and weapons

Spiritomb is pokemon with no weaknesses so it seemed appropriate at the time of build. I have since discovered i was kidding myself, it's major weakness is the exposed extenders and weapon motors are quite easy to get at with axes. It gets under most DSL AI though I have had problems with CE. Will submit battleshots if they are requested
