Here are a few of my favorite bots:

Name  : Pancake
Weight: 209.9
Drive  : 2 TWM3 motors
Power : Two red battlepacks

This is one of the first bots I made in the original RA2.  Now it has been redone for DSL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Name  : Twista
Weight: 795.2
Drive  : 4 Tornado Mer Gearboxes
Weapon Motor: Perm 80 EL
Power : 1 PC545 ; 1 PC565

This thing is made from stock DSL parts, and it does very well against just about every AI bot in the game.  Except Wheely Big Cheese.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Name  : Colussus
Weight: A lot
Drive  : 4 ZZT Ultimate tek
Weapon Motors: 12 F300 Tornado Motors (From FB's component pack)
Power: 2 Cold Fusion Reactors (From Lut-ze's component pack)

Colossus is based off of Duh102's Building Shredder only with more blades.  It is one of my few SHW bots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name  : Commando
Weight: 1106.4
Drive  : Lut-ze's HP Tank Treads
Weapons: 18 Mini cannons, 1 large crossbow, 2 spinning maces, 2 flamethrowers, and 2 lances on mag snappers (inside)
Power : Modded Darkcell Battery

One of my coolest bots.  The spinning maces work very well against spinners, and if anything gets on top, they are thrown by the lances.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name  : White T (like the song)
Weight : 312.2
Drive Motors: 2 Slimbody
Weapon Motors: Slimbody
Power : Darkcell Battery

My first DSL bot.  The flipper is to self-right.  Its on a mag snapper.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Fridgy
Weight: Just look at it
Drive: 4 FB Fridgedy Motors
Power: Lots of DarkCell Batteries

The fuel barrel on the back is on a ridiculously powerful modded burst motor and is used to self-right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Slice&Dice
Weight: 398.1
Drive: 2 Slimbody
Power: 2 red battlepacks

http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/8931/slicedice1eh.png

I have used this thing against HWs and it still does very well.  It is almost impossible to get under, and does good damage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

If you want inside or battle pics, just ask.  I hope you like these.

EDIT 4/15 - Added White T
EDIT 4/17 - Added Fridgy
EDIT 4/20 - Added Slice&Dice

General Support / Question

« on: March 21, 2006, 04:07:08 PM »

I found a very strange error right after I installed DSL.  Nothing in the paint shop except importing custom paint has any effect whatsoever.  Also, when I try to take a snapshot of any of my bots, all it shows is a white screen instead of a picture of my bot.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.
