Agree with Inf.
Wait for the current tourney to finish before anything is decided. It just becomes complicated if we decide on a second tourney before the first one is finished.

That is one clever idea.
I think I saw a video on youtube with it owning iceberg?

S32: It's totally feasible having weapons pass though the titanium sheet as it would be possible to cut holes in it.

Somebody: that's a cool bot but idk about the exposed wheels. But what do I know? I can't build a popup for peanuts...

That's a real boost to my self esteem, Sage...

I think the forum needs more members so i don't care as long as they don't get annoying.

:D Happy to have pleased you Sage...
GG R0B0, that was an awesome fight :D
I leave RAW with 2 TKO's which is WAY better than my BBEANS effort.

Logo looks fine to me Giga...

Mutant Dragonfly caused an upset like I predicted!

Can't wait for my fight against obZen! I think it'll be my last fight but I may get a TKO or KO to my name with my late weapon toggle change...

DSL TC Showcases / Sage's Showcase

:D I thought that design might catch on...

What armor did you use on it? I want to fit 4 orange batts in mine to!

Do you think it's the placement of the wheels that makes it spin faster? I'm trying to figure out what makes falcon punch spin so fast with less batteries...

Sage: I got Falcon Punch to spin now. I just copied the Binding of 360 Arc Pounder and modified a few values. It works fine. You're right about spin speed though, it could be faster after just seeing Pinball fight (Did you seriously fit 4 orange batts in there? I don't think I can manage that and keep FP invertible...).

BTW: did you get under Archimandrite V head-on and first try?

Nope, Francium copped 2 hits at least before getting in around the side of Archy V (turning isn't his strong point) and pushing him around for a while. (I'm a terrible driver BTW so that's why I AIed him and many other bots I've built. So I don't do much in terms of driving.)

I have looked at the wedge design from Slashback only because I assumed that's where InfCon's and HazCon's wedges were inspired from. I shall weaken the armor back to 3mm and add more wedges but it won't be done until the weekend as I'm back at school now

That will be so cool, I may learn something after my failure after all...

Ahhh... I was going to ask what that back skirt was for.
Well you've saved me the trouble of asking.
Would the balancing skirt replace the srimech or help it? I noticed InfCon lacks a srimech so I don't know whether to to ditch mine or not.

EDIT: I decided to ditch the srimech and strengthen the armour to 5mm Titanium (it was 3mm before)

V3 looks like this:

Right you are I'm reworking the chassis now...

I looked at the bindings of 360 Arc Pounder and changed FALCON PUNCH's accordingly and now it works fine. Thanks.

EDIT: Naryar, is this better?

May as well start up a DSL Showcase.
I've been playing DSL a lot more than stock recently (most tourneys at the moment have used DSL for some strange reason) and have come up with some pretty good designs IMO. One of the was my RAW entry Archimandrite V but I won't post pics here (unless they are requested) because most of you have seen it already. So my first bot on this showcase will be:

FALCON PUNCH!!
Sorry for the crap splash...


The name was inspired by this demotivational poster:


In short all I've done is taken Sage's Pinball and made it invertible (like Haymaker). KO's most DSL AI and surprisingly doesn't appear to be under powered despite only having 2 of those long black batts for power.

And for a second bot:
FRANCIUM
Another crap splash...


One of my crazy ideas to see what would happen if Infernal Contraption 2 and Shebeast found a way to mate. It's one of my better bots and I wish I could have built it before RAW (see splash).

I've AIed both these bots and they both do quite well AIed however I can't get Falcon Punch to spin like Pinball does in RAW so any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

Comments and feedback accepted :)

I love it Click. If you do enter that in BBEANS 5, I'm screwed if I enter what I had planned to...

Hmmm...
That's how a Dual Perm is supposed to run (provided you have the stability) BUT...

Your bot wasn't AIed, which may have skewed your results...

I really want to build one.
How much did this cost you?

True but I'd much prefer to stay on my wheels with a weakened weapon than face obZen belly up the whole time. That's what it came down to.

LOSER'S BRACKET

Robo vs. Hazmat Winner: Robo
Archy will spaz all over the arena, and it will end up like my match.

I've asked sage to change the toggle for Archy's weapon from a button to a switch to avoid this "spazzing".

@Giga: I think it may be fraps

Awesome, I don't think I've built a lightweight that can KO a heavyweight... yet.
