Would be interested in this... been building DSL 2.2 axebots recently so it would be a good time to see how bad they really are.

I tried to re-make Gladiator to make it somewhat smaller and better. This is the end result. I give you...  799.3kg of pure pain, with Steel 3 armour, its no pushover. The axe hits much faster and harder than the original using the large burst piston.  Comparison with the original Gladiator.

Hi! Welcome to the forums!
The design is pretty sound for a spinner, though there are a few things I'd look at.
The bottom DSL bar looks like it intersects the Perm motor. While not really a problem, is a personal gripe.
I think the weaponry could be improved personally. If you are to do the 2 bar setup, I'd stagger the bars perpendicular to each other, this will make it harder for another bot to hit that piece of chassis.
As for the chassis, try rebuilding the shape to end at the Perm, the area with the weapons in could be shed to allow more weight to put into defence and weaponry.
I think someone will say things about the battery but I am no expert in DSL 2.2 so I'll let someone else do that.
But for a first bot it looks pretty good. If it works, it works.

I think I have the first Stock bot I made in my showcase on an old USB stick somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.

I guess I could enter. I missed DSL 3 entirely so good enough excuse to make another generic flipper something new in it.

Yo whaddup
I've just been toying with the idea of a music patch for RA2, new music for Bot Lab, Menu and Team select... Would anybody want that if I where to make it?

Hey guys, in the period I have been away, I have also gotten an avid interest in music production. This can be a thread where I dump some of my music. With Robot Wars coming back, I would also like to make music based around that as well as other things. To kick off, have a 'remix' I did today of the DSL opening theme. https://instaud.io/hUxIts eh, but its something. This now plays when I open DSL so it served its purpose.

Due to all the wonderful things that are happening, with Robot Wars coming back and all that, I have decided to re-download this game and DSL 2.2. I would like to start getting the habit of building things again, and now I have finally learned to run RA2 in compatibility mode so it doesn't crash every 2 seconds, I think I can do that. By far the best thing I have built in the past few days is the HW axe-bot Gladiator, using those new piston burst motor things.   Armour is Titanium 3 Also, the first time I have ever de-frocked Grog.  Hope you guys like it

What's the views on metal hinge and skirts for wedges in an IRL tournament?

I guess I should list what I have. Like HA, its larger than your average person's collection.
I have a NES, SNES, MegaDrive, MasterSystem, PS1, Atari 2600 and a Dreamcast.

Right, so who here plays old retro games. And while RA2 is old, I don't think it counts as retro.
We're talking <1999 here, DreamCast allowed also.

Probably Ninja IRL, bar the metal hinge wedges.

What is it with me and vertical spinners now. Anyway, some new bots.   Armour is Titanium 3 I have forgotten how to wedges at this point. This gets outwedged horribly. However, some showcase scanning and old critique reading reminded me of hinge and small wedge is best.   Armour is Titanium 3 again, and weapon motor is a 6-mag ultra thing. So fast.

Rebuilt it, looks way better now. And it can actually win fights! However, the weaponry now has a habit of just falling off.   Oh, Armour is Titanium 5. I think this is more like it. The other one was... lets not go there. I kinda want to keep with the vertical spinner thing, works well. Also, any ideas on why the paint import export thing is still broken?

Yeah. It kinda has the bad habit of not winning anything, and getting really slow after like 2 minutes.
I'm reading through all the advice given to me back in the day, and then I'm going to rework this thing.
