Looks very cool!
I also prefer the more realistic damage.

Saw in some showcases, in the dsl category, people made gost raptor inspired robots, so I just made a replica of it:
 


There are some things that I don't like, like the blade being too far on the back, and the front armour.
But the blade does not break in half the moment it touches something!

Thanks for the compliments!

Avalance: the previous two robots are in the bot exchange  .

Dominating: the messiness of UpperCut is because when I see a very exposed component, I want to protect it!

Craaig: I do the trick because I prefer doing all the building in the bot lab.

Playzooki: yes, and I'm in the FRA forum too. If you look at my IRL robots you will understand how much I love the storm 2 shape, since almost every robot has the front and sides angled.

Now for two robots inspired by other robots (guess which):

ElectricShock:



Armour: steel 5mm
Done again with the actuator trick, the last photo shows the position of the motor with the actuator extended.

LockReload:



Armour: steel 10mm
The two parts of the weapon can move indipendently.

Now one question: is the actuator trick allowed in the IRL metagame, if the actuator does not move and anything attached to it doesn't clip through the other electrical components?
Because someone IRL could get something shaped like a tube and cut a slot shaped like the motor to mount the motor to the chassis of the robot.

Honestly I didn't even know there was a flip out zone, so I thought stinger would have won, but clearly i was wrong

Ciao,
my style is going to be usually IRL or the robots are going to look IRL.

Here's two robots I made:

Incandescent



Is actually 4wd, the two front wheels are not powered, but you can think of them chain linked to the other.
I love 6wd robots! So much I built one IRL .
The actual chassis is the small rectangle on the middle, and then the structure is built around it.

UpperCut



It gyro dances a lot!
Here too the structure is built around the "electronics box" as I like to call it.
The perm is half inside and half outside because I used a linear actuator, I moved it with the controls, attached the perm and retracted the actuator.
The actuator isn't supposed to move, there aren't any air tanks, so it's only a structural part.
It can self right if you spin the disk...down.
