DSL TC Showcases / Celestial Panda's Showcase
« on: March 12, 2012, 11:35:31 AM »
Hey there, I'm Celestial Panda. I've been lurking around a year, playing RA2 for two. DSL's a great improvement on the original game, wonderful for building all kinds of things!
As someone who is still lamenting the loss of Robot Wars, I like to build things similar to what you'd see on the show, I just wish flippers were better in this game. Is there a method to building very powerful flipper-bots?
So I hope you like the robots I've built! I still need to learn patience, and the best way to line up motors for symmetrical-ness. I also overpower them, but that's because I like to put battles on for 5 minutes and want to be prepared.

Flipping Out
Armour: Titanium 1.
Power: Entirely too many batteries. Put in the Red battery for the flippers, but I don't think that's right.
Drive: TWM3R Drive. It's still a little slow for my tastes, but gets the job done I guess.
Saw Point
Armour: Aluminium 1. This is a terrible choice, I know. This bot needs a slight tuneup. =P
Power: Still entirely too many batteries. It's also really easy to stack the orange ones, so I do that quite a lot, so there might be even more hidden there.
Drive: NPC-T64s, wonderfully fast and keep me pretty close to the ground.
There's a Schrimech made with two bursts and two perspex extenders. It tends to Self-Right too well, putting me back on my back sometimes.
