DSL TC Showcases / DarkMatterGaming's Spinning Things That May Be Robots

« on: June 25, 2015, 11:46:03 AM »

Hello, now I get to show off the one robot that I'm actually somewhat proud of in DSL right now.

I like to call him - and this is super cliched - Big Red.



I don't know how to classify him - is he a fullbody or a partial spinner? I think partial - and he's the one robot who... actually meets what I aimed to build. ...He doesn't perform well but!





(Weapon is removed in the above picture)

Small edit: The reason there's a gap in the above picture? If I put a battery there, I couldn't have the control module. Oops.



I think the saddest part is that it looks more threatening than it actually is. And don't even get me started on when it tips over...

Stock Showcases / DarkMatterGaming's (Probably Terrible) Showcase

« on: June 23, 2015, 02:44:38 PM »

Well, gotta start somewhere... Hello and welcome to my (in all likelihood) pretty terrible showcase. I'm only willing to show one bot right now (even though I have 2 screenshotted and everything) mostly to show everyone my... baseline, I suppose.

This... is Daydreamer.





The design is (obviously) based off one of my favorite robots, Nightmare.





The beam extending out into the weapon is one big beam, something I'll have to edit later. Additionally, it has no srimech and runs just as bad as Nightmare upsidedown.

The motors are currently programmed to attempt flipping the opponent.

Overall, things I see that I need to work on:

• Lower Weapon (possibly)
• Shrink chassis size down a tad
• Insert srimech/make running upsidedown not a death sentence

Hope I can get some good advice from you guys! God knows I need it...
