Quick rebuild of an old blue flipper to shake off the rust of not building for 3 months. Probably gonna skin up the flipper panels and chuck it in AC3 depending how many entries each person gets One day I'll make a britflipper that can actually win fights

I can't wait to see who the next boomer to come and give their take on the state of the community's gonna be.

So once there is 8 more bots, the deadline will be set for submissions, or will submissions just close once there are 8 more bots? (just checking as I'm still tryna figure out all the new DSL stuff)
Once 48 teams are hit, then the deadline will be set for 1 week after. People can still enter during that week but after that entries will close

Pretty happy with my performance there. I expected Apogee to do well here as long as it didn't get attacked from behind due to the nature of rumbles. That's exactly what happened in the first fight that resulted in me losing the wheel and getting counted out, but thankfully in the other matches it didn't really which allowed it to show what it can do in an arena with walls like this.
Monolith was always gonna be cannon fodder here and if anything I'm glad it's presence gave Apogee more of a shot of getting through, but also I was actually pretty impressed with how decently it did going weapon to weapon with Delta's drum until Aesthetics got involved and ****ed me up

Is this for OW?
There's a lot of non-standard components here that mean it's not gonna be legal. At a glance both the battery you're using and the burst motor aren't included in DSL 2.4

Everyone's posting their OW5 lineups so I guess I'll post mine. Nothing really new or exciting but most of my bots have been updated both visually and performatively since you last saw them. Missing Link: Has been cleaned up a fair bit since you last saw it but is otherwise the same. This is my reserve entry so you may not be seeing it in the main series Claymore (Seeded 16th): Pretty major rebuilds since it was showcased here. Way, way cleaner with the panels all lining up properly at last. Finally it looks better than Sabre (the bot it replaced). I also skinned up a couple of panels just to make it look a little nicer too. Hoping this one does well. Bocuma (Seeded 3rd): Has actually seen a near total rebuild to bring it in weight with the 2.4 component changes but as always it retains the same design. There has been one change in terms of competitiveness though: it now has a Dantomkia-style "kickstand" bit at the back to try and keep the wedge on the floor as one of Bocuma's biggest weaknesses was how it would wheelie when hitting an opponent allowing them to get under what is otherwise a near-peerless wedge. Speed Demon VII: My lock in for the series. Wedgelets are spaced further apart than when I last showcased this as a result of experience in PWS (which resulted in it eventually winning the final installment of that tournament). 2.4 freed up some weight which I've used to both substantially buff the armour, and also to make the transition of the wedge/anti spinner pieces into the chassis cleaner. Phosphor: My qualifier bot. Has also seen a total rebuild as a result of being nearly 200kg overweigh in 2.4. By building much smarter I was able to get it in weight without really sacrificing looks at all. Hammerbots are never great in RA2 but as hammerbots go this is a pretty decent one, and managed to push Greedee pretty hard in its last tournament appearance which hopefully bodes well.

I leave for a few months and this happens.
Nothing actually happened Jay just got banned from the discord for being a nutcase and came here to scrawl sh** on the walls instead

Unfortunately, I had to reject a couple, mostly just due to stuff clipping with the Chassis that would make it look unrealistic.
Rejected: Nabi - Lajonet fran Norden (Motors clipping through the chassis)
Pocket Jake - Decap (Gearbox clipping through chassis)
WillOfForce - Rest in Piece (Motors clipping through chassis)
That stuff is normally legal in IRL tournaments.
I've seen one of the 3 of these and the drive motors were clipping pretty egregiously through the bottom panel of the robot. IDK about the other 2 but he was right to reject that IMO

Another bot updated. Cicada this time. I know quite a lot of people like this one, and I do too, but it needed some changes. First off I cleaned up the panel work. Stuff fits together much better now. One thing I never liked about the previous iteration was the big dumb granny wheels it needed to run inverted, so I've ditched invertability completely in favour of a srimech powered by a slow mag (the green bit on top is the srimech. Took some fiddling to get the whole thing in weight but I got there by optimising my extenderwork. I plan to skin the microvore at some point too to match the theme better but for now I'm happy with this thing.

Small update. Reprofiled the front wedge to look better and also gave it more batts so it doesn't run out in like 10 seconds now. I also updated it since this screenshot to get rid of that little bit of the black panel that's poking out of the front of the flipper, but I can't be bothered taking another screenshot to show that. No way this thing will be combat effective as it's light on armour, drive and weaponry, but I'm really happy with how it looks

Another older bot updated. I was quite proud of this one at the time again, but it definitely didn't age that well. I'm really happy with what I've been able to do with it though. The theme was vaguely Tron related and I think I accomplished something that captures that whole aesthetic this time. It prolly doesn't have enough battery life but I'm not that fussed tbh. If there's ever another tournament like Forgotten Worlds where you enter 2 bots yourself to make up a tag team, then this and Monolith could make a neat themed team.

Not being rude here, but Thorak didn't deserve that win. Seriously, was their fight with ORBY just HUGE vs Whiplash all over again? ORBY tore off the entire flipper, and you give it to them? Let me guess, the "style, control, damage and agression" type judges decision? Just explain it.
It spent more of the fight upside down than it did the right way up, and spent the rest of that time getting shoved and flipped around while trying to self-right?

Heat C of Deathmatch 6 is now up!
Turns out having all steel front and sides doesn't do sh** if you attach the whole setup to your aluminium wheelguard  Serves me right for being a dumbass.

Said it in the discord but I really like this. The usage of the mechavore motor not just as a weapon motor but also to give the bot an interesting shape overall is really clever. I love when components get used for purposes that you wouldn't immediately think of. Would be really neat if you could somehow replicate that shape in extenders or maybe OBJ it or something so you could have a version you can put in tournaments though as it's a really cool design and I think it would be neat to see it fight stuff. If I had to pick out something you could improve I'd say maybe the rear end. I think using drums instead of the extender setup you have there would get you a cleaner look, assuming they fit properly. All in all though nice work

Wait, the extender "piston" for the flipper can clip the beta burst? That's still IRL?
I mean it's purely a visual thing to make the bot look better. Can easily be ditched if someone has an issue with it.
But then having no piston may be less realistic if anything so swings and roundabouts innit
I've never seen anyone have an issue with this type of thing for what it's worth
That makes sense. Can I get away with stuff like that when entering IRL tournaments?
Depends what it is really. A ram for a flipper like this I'm sure you would, but other stuff maybe not. All depends on the circumstances
