It's about time I posted something new here:  Am I original now? - DSA
- 2 Supervolts
- 4 Rubbers on HPZs
- 10 razors on 2 DDTs
- Front armor: 8 ram plates, 2 small wedges, and a snowplow
It seems original; I don't really know if anyone has tried to build a stock popup without a wedged chassis before. It's not really built to take on other wedges, more to take on HS, because there are so many of them now. I also have a question: Where do I get Starcore 4?

That "back wedge" is rear support, and without it, the bot tips backward and the wedge is completely useless, which you don't want on a gutripper.
I was trying to have a drum with less exposed weapon motors; didn't turn out the way I wanted.

Did something happen to constructive criticism or something? Seriously, stop arguing!
They actually don't self-right well; I.T. has the same problem that Reaver has, and T.U. just moves around using the drum until it hits a wall and gets counted out.
I would like to spend some weight on srimech devices for the two, but I don't know what I could take weight away from.

Would love to R0B0, but what would that do to the durability?
And I did try switching to jpg for the splash that I posted in my stock showcase, but it seemed that the bmp version I made had better quality. I'll still try though.
And speaking of stock, I have an idea in my head that I may post soon.

It spins upward, like a regular VS.
Edit: And the effectiveness (at least on T.U.) depends on the wedge, which is sometimes effective and sometimes not, but, overall, it's above average.
And Iron Tumbleweed is pretty effective, I just haven't been playing around with it a lot.

The snow leopard is back, with Torrential Upbringing, an experimental drum design (am I original now?):  And Iron Tumbleweed, a bot that you could say is the little brother to Torrential Upbringing (although Iron Tumbleweed came first), as well as a possible Clash Cubes 3 idea:  Stats: Torrential Upbringing: - Technos on NPC Fasts
- 2 ant batts and 2 battlepacks
- 8 heavy DS teeth and 8 large beater bars on two Perm 80s
- Snowplow and Ti halfsheet defense
- 5mm titanium
It's a nice gutripper, and has excellent speed and defense, but the weight distribution sucks and, as a result, has a wedge that's not that effective. Iron Tumbleweed: - Vlads on Drive TWM3Rs
- 1 ant battery and 1 battlepack
- 8 Lightning Spikes and 8 razor tips on a Perm 80
- Ti halfsheet armor and 80cm Aluminum skirts for stabilizers
- 3mm titanium
Doesn't have a lot of flipping power, but has good gutripping power. It's not that fast, but it's super stable even after losing multiple spikes. Defense is decent. The razors look useless but they're good at tearing off skirt wedges and help protect the weapon motor. And now that the DSL King is gone, you will now bow down to your new feline overlord:evil:.

About the chassis, you can use a six-point chassis and keep the position of the components the same. Otherwise, god job!

^^^ I believe Pwnator beat you to it :P.
And I think the plow would be more effective if it was facing the front of your bot instead of being tilted 90 degrees upwards (see Hazardous Contraption). However, I would first worry about the advice already given above.

Don't expect something from me in less than two days. I'm still away from my DSL for 2-3 more days.

I'll start off with the most obvious (because Naryar's not here to say it otherwise): Get rid of that empty space! I would also use medium or large beater bars instead of those spike strips so that the weapon array is even. You could probably have a better drive as well.
Otherwise, it looks pretty good. Nice job! If you want, you can take an example from Stiletto, my LW poker.

Obvious choice would be I Wanna Be The Guy Don't remind me:dead:

Hmm...sounds interesting.
I think my chances are looking favorable, especially without Naryar, but that means it'll be less fun.
I'll still enter, put me down.

I really wish I weren't away from my computer right now, but at least I know that I'm going to be in.
Thanks for updating the bracket Doomkiller!:biggrin:

It was just an experiment, and also the last bot I will be posting here because I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks. I'll still try to keep in touch with the community though.
So much for originality...:-(
Edit: And I hate to say this Naryar, but you're the reason that I think I'm decent at DSL. Seriously I can never be as good as you:frown:

I've been experimenting with such a design, and Betas suck as popup motors. They just don't have enough maxspeed. Snooping as usual I see? Did you pay attention to when I posted the first version of the bot? Here: It's what I consider (or what is supposed to be) a flipper/true popup hybrid. It's supposed to have the weapon power of a flipper while also keeping the high ADC of a popup. It tosses heavyweights easily while doing hefty damage at the same time.

Updated:   More realistic, but I think I should get rid of that middle razor. Faster as well.

A design I've been experimenting with:   - NPC Fasts with Vlads
- 4 PC545 Batteries and 6 Battlepacks
- 9 razor tips on a Beta burst motor
- 5mm titanium and 4 titanium half-sheets on the bottom
- wedge consists of 2 80cm titanium skirts on metal hinges and a titanium sheet
It's what I consider (or what is supposed to be) a flipper/true popup hybrid. It's really just a prototype, and thus still has some empty space. It's also slow and doesn't have very great defense either. It does however have a very powerful weapon and does well when AIed also. And for those who say it's overpowered: Adding battery always helps. Makes the swing more powerful.

With the claws... they're small enough. Correct my friend, but you would have no idea how long it took me to learn.
