I'm not going for good, flashy, complicated, anything like that.
As soon as I learn to do skins, custom decals, and AI'ing, I'm building craploads of robots, and thinking of doing an all-origina realistic display tournament, in RW Series 3 format. I did a similar thing when I was younger with RW:AoD, but as you can imagine, it was a lonely, crappy idea. This, if done right, is something that I think I would enjoy doing, and might add a bit of variety to tournaments done with DSL killing machines and replicas.Time will tell. 2584

Most of the others I've seen have. I thought it was done thing.

Aw dammit. I missed that.
I'll change it so a saw or a shorter bar. I can't imagine a shorter bar would look that great, and the wedge looks quite poor. I'm gonna have to elongate it, I think. 2586

It was intended to be a sort of sit-and-spin tail, similar to Lizzard from Dutch Robot Wars, but I've had a quick look and I don't think a burst motor would fit amongst the drive and batteries and still look like a decent tail. Not sure if it would actually be able to right the machine either.
It's not like it'll ever fight, so it's sort of a moot point. This is time-killing for when I'm bored after work. ![]() Edit: My Stingray is cooler than their Stingray.

So I decided to go purely for looks and realism rather than actual skill and combat ability, and start making random splashes.
Here's a couple I whipped up tonight. Things will improve. 2589

My latest 'bot has come up with a rather creative way of immobilizing it's opponents.

I'm thinking at least 50% of the posters noticed.

Scrolled through every single one of my posts, and the worst thing I've ever said is 'damn'.
Are you serious?

My attempts have entered have slowed since everything I seem to do appears to be wrong.

Oh, yeah, of course. Gotta think this through more often.

Surely if I attach it, it'll just spin with the hammers?

What should I do about the brackets and supports that the weapon supposedly needs?

Potential RA2 Olympics HW entry?
Based on Critical Reaction's chassis design, with weapon inspiration from The Alien and IG-88. Probably my most destructive bot so far, by a long shot. (That's not me saying it's actually any good though. )2600

Might just make my bots Canadian purely because they're in the DSL decals.
