Oh yeah. And to think of it, I fear the chassis is not suitable for a big weapon like that...
You have a point, but I definitely need a srimech. Do you think it could be a decent weapon on DDTs?
Btw, I have to technical questions for you guys.
-Am I right if I say that DDT-enhanced Zteks are more powerful than Snapper2-enhanced ones?
-I don't think so, but is it worthwhile to enhance the drive motors with burst motors or servos? Or is it just wasting weight ?

Really nice and mean-looking flail bot. (even if it's a HS)
I think the name is Possessed Bee. Btw, Bee Keeper has also flailing weapons, I think (certainly the most annoying HS in Starcore 3)
And I don't get the point of having flailing weapons. It prevents the spinner getting blocked by the enemy (like in the case of a ram pinning a classical horizontal spinner), yeah, but doesn't this decreases damage?

Sergeim, you can't understand that. You're not even playing RA2.
Well InfiniteInertia, you're right, that's more of a wide VS if you think of it... I'll made a real drum and post it here.
It must be because of the instability of the weapon, 150 kg weighting on each snapper2... but no low weapon clearance, I can assure you.

I was just fighting 2 Borg Queens with my SHW (1340 kg). Quite easy... I knew this would be a "explosive" match...  But if I expected that...

Oh, of course. I'll send some. Two views of it in the bot lab:   Then, giving it a try in the test area: I fire the Snapper2's (which are originally used for a srimech). The two parts of the drum stay there (too heavy for the Snapper2's too lift, I suppose) and then I launch the drum (rotating upwards like Nightmare).  Then, somersault ! And he ends like that  Barely lands on his wheels seconds after. Quite the same thing when facing an opponent, but somersaults in the opposite direction... Humiliating, isn't it? Damn, I re-designed the chassis four times at least to get THAT...

BIG EDIT: Oh, I just understood your point InfiniteInertia. You're here because I posted DSL-like pictures in the OFFICIAL FORUM, exactly in the Stock RA part. Alright, I'll just use the tournament part there... Gametechmods is definitely safer. But I still doesn't see why the part B is useful.
About the choice between drum and quadruple vertical spinner, the big drum makes WAY more damage than the four vertical spinners but is also WAY more unstable (I just experienced it... damnit, my drum bot was ruined by a piece of crap named Billy Goat Gruffiest). Oh, I should perhaps put the drum on DDTs, not on Snapper2's...
And if there's a drum pro here, I could use his help...

maybe use the Gametechmods.com image host Good idea. I'll think to it next time.

I'm playing DSL too, and for the thumbnails, ImageShack does not gives me a choice. Or you can help me with the thumbnails...

Yeah. Some more pictures, from DSL now...   Btw,I have a technical question: What do you guys think it's best, a drumlike VS with 4 Ztek-powered discs with 4 iron spikes each (total 16 iron spikes) for weapons, or a real drum with only 2 zteks for weapons, but way more weapons on each disc?

Done for the tourney, finally!
But I can't AI it and I fear he'll drive really bad... without me :D

Ha, you know, I have never succeeded in optimizing the chassis's height. There, battle shots:     Well, I think I could go to a MW tourney with that... uh oh, a non-realistic one...

Niiice.
To destroy blondes again:
A blonde goes at the hairdresser's. There, she asks the hairdresser to cut her hair.
Hairdresser: "I'm sorry madam, but you have a walkman. You must take off the earphones or I fear I could cut them off"
Blonde, terrified: "No no. This is a question of life and death! I can't!"
Hairdresser: "But... I must..."
Blonde: "No, I can't"
The hairdresser begins his work. Minutes later, as we can guess, the scissors cut accidentally one of the earphones. The blonde stops breathing, and quickly suffocate.
The hairdresser wonders what happened. He takes the other earphone, still working, and listens.
"Inhale...Exhale...Inhale...Exhale..."

Omen of Chaos V5 First good middleweight, at least ! And first popup. This was originally a spiked flipper, quite good flipping ability but low damage. I turned it into a popup, then upgraded that popup one time. And there's the result! Worked on the skin too, just discovered the Export Chassis Paint and had fun with it. Name: Omen of Chaos V5 Type: MW, popup Weight: 397.7 Armor: DSA Weapons: Two popups, 2 iron spikes each powered by Snapper2's Batteries: 2 stacked Supervolts Drive: Two Shiny Hubs powered by HP Zteks   + Good damage for a MW + Good speed and steering + Good stability and control + Extensive throwing ability + Front wheel protection + Front wedge that gets quite easily under the enemy - Cannot self-right nor move when upside down - Weak VS horizontal spinners - Can only land a hit when enemy is on the wedge body (cannot be used as short range hammer)

Haha the airplane glue... Nice one, really nice one.
Now to be more "classic":
A Hindu, a critic and a rabbi are travelling together. The night comes, and the rain too. So the three decide to go to the nearest farm, and there ask the farmer for hospitality.
The farmer says: No problem, you can stay here for the night, but I've got only room for two, so one of yours must sleep in the barn.
The Hindu says: "I'll go. A little hardship is nothing to me."
The hindu goes, but five minutes later, the door opens, and it's him.
"I'm sorry, but there is a cow in the barn. Cows are sacred animals in my religion, and I would'nt disturb their sleep"
The rabbi says: "Very well, I'll go"
The rabbi goes, but five minutes later, the door opens, and it's him.
"I'm sorry, but there is a pig in the barn. Pigs are impure animals for me, and I must not sleep near a pig"
The critic says: "All right, I'll go!"
The critic goes, and five minutes later , the door opens...
It was the pig and the cow.

Well yeah, good point. I followed exactly the install tutorial when installing DSL and that worked easily.

Thanks for your help Scrap Daddy.
And, and at least RA2lover made me discover what is a bump. I was always wondering that this meant. Thanks RA2lover too :D

SHW vs HW... not fair.
Actually these three bots are not very difficult for a good HW.

Tried... Thought I would get bashed (happens often against vertical spinners)  Quite an epic fight there. My two hammers stopped working one minute after the beggining, deeply dug into his Ztek weapon motors ( DDT motors damaged I guess, but I don't see any smoke for the armed one), that's why I lost (and by points). But he was more damaged (controller board in the red) than me and unarmed (I could still barely thwack with my hammer head). Nice havok explosions BTW.
