Going for IRL or efficeintcy?
Neither. If my bot is slightly efficient then I think that's a good thing. If it looks kinda like it could maybe apply to IRL rules, then that's a good thing. Would you see some of my 'bots as more suitable for IRL or efficient combat?

I present to you; (warning: large image hosted at tinypic, will take some time to load) Sad Union. It's consistently beaten YU812 multiple times by humping its front untill its everything fell off. (looks very comical, enjoyed playing with this) Taz wedges, hypno teeth, I sure love my red and whites. The name's a lame pun on biohazard. Thoughts? Improvements?

Not sure if it'll help but perhaps use a drive motor to swing the weapon instead of a spin motor?
A drum bot (not using wheels) will spin the axe better but move less well. It's a fun-to-drive trade off =P
Deary me that sounds very exciting! I'll try that out tomorrow and will hopefully show my new lw hs off. Sorry for the contentless bump.

Does the piglet swing the hammer?
sorry I was being stupid, now I realise it's just there to waste 20kg. /sarcasm
Well, it doesn't actually swing the hammer. It just slowly pushes it in a direction, causing maybe 50-120 greentext. I'm actually kinda sad it didn't work.

Here it is:  Drum Tu. Not very effective, not very pretty but it's my first 360 hammer bot so I guess that's something. The skin lacks a black bar in the middle because my game crashes the very moment I try to apply a decal or import a texture. My next bot might have drums for wheels considering how well they worked for gradian.

Drum looks almost exactly like something in LDAI, but it's cool. I love Spearhead.
Parasprite?
Looks like someone else beat me to recreating Atilla the drum, then.

So that purple green eyed thing is your watermark ?
also make your pics bigger, I can't see clearly in the first bot other than it's a torque reaction hammer
tit
huehuehue
is bot 1 a sns, it needs moar weapons if it is
it needs more weapons anyway
and maces are bad in dsl
i think motorcycle wheels > slims
ant blades have double-sided normals which means they only deal damage with the blades so they're useless on bot 1
if it's a sns, improve the drive motors to mags or maybe npcs
give bot 2 a shorter tail
If you make it invertible you don't need any sort of srimech.
are the flipper segments the srimech on bot 2? just ditch them or put them sticking out of the sides to make it look like warhead and you could reskin tornado teeth to make them metallic if you're feeling confident, otherwise switch them for more metallic weapons IMO
and i still vote for gradian being invertible
and its not really related to your bots but razors are kewl on flails on spinners (but dont overuse flails or naryar will cry)
stop posting like awesumsauce it's confusing me
Noted; remove the watermark, make the pics bigger. Will do!

Here's two more 'bots, both made for fun as they're not very effective. I've replaced the front wheels on Gradian with small drums, saving me two kgs. Traction's fine though, think they might even offer more grip than ant wheels. Drum, 5mm tit;  Spearhead, 1mm tit; (lightweight warhead replica, needs a bigger chassis to reduce possible clipping, not sure if it actually clips, but it probably does).  Also it needs a better srimech, its current one only works half the time.

Is it just me or does the weapon setup look like a vampire face?
Can no longer unsee.

Thanks for the feedback! I've changed the spinmotor to a piglet and upgraded the armor. Also I've removed the razor (and thus it's only means of selfrightment). I'll see if this works better and whether or not I should undo the armor change, rollback the razor and add some more razors to the sides of it/a sheet under it. Edit: it's invertible now! And it doesn't do anything for me, a human, since I'm not used to upside-down driving. Could be interesting should it once be AI'd for a tournament, though. The extra armor is not noticable, the piglet, however is. It feels much more sturdy especially against rammers, hammers and low spinners. I've added a plate on top of it for more protection, and a spike strip because it looks kind of decent. I'm also experimenting with different types of spinners. So, without further ado, here's Gradian (again)  Edit: reverted back to old design, although I might use the bar for another design. Also, I found out that the razor on top of Gradian apparently introduces a new type of gameplay; catching other robots for damage. I've been playing a lot of matches with Gradian and a lightweight flipper against any HW, trying to catch the HW onto my spike/disc. Very fun to do.

try not to expose 400hp motors like mags. they'll get torn off easily by popups.
piglets have 8000hp and are 10kg lighter, use one of them and get moar weapons.
and woo i'm conraaa now
Do piglets spin faster or slower than mags? Also do they need more batteries?

camfan: Bot2 needs the support wheels because the flipper segments get damaged over timefor some reason. The servo motor is used for rotating the hammer horizontally, I mentioned a snapper which is used for hammering the hammer. I'm sorry for being so unclear. The insides of bot 2;  awsum: the wheels on axel mounts are there to prevent the flipper segments from getting damaged over time. legendarylegendamonglegends: the insides of bot 1; (it's missing approx. 1 ant)

This one's called Gradian which is a pun because a Gradian is a small Radian. It's a lightweight hypnodisc knockoff much like 360. Here's the pics;

Welcome to my showcase thread. It's not very good. I'm sorry. As of 2017 I've edited most posts here to be less obnoxious for potential future internet archaeologists. 's my first ever DSL bot. It's realistic(ish) and based on the real Bammbamm. The top-hammer is mounted onto a DSL servo motor. This bot is slightly underweight (4kg), slightly under powered (1 ant) and lacks protection from anything (ti 1mm).

 I was quite happy to actually win anything ever in this game. The only reason I felt like contributing with this pic, is that the game instantly crashed upon me claiming my prize. ;_;
