I can't vote for #1 because I cannot see it clear enough
I can't vote for #2 because I can see it clear
#3 has some interesting details but a poor skin
#4 is to simple
#5 is to complicated
#6 is very well done and has got a superb paint job, Clickbeetle would like it.
#7 is very compact design but the skin could be better
#8 is to generic for me
#9 superb stacking and a very compact design, with a better skin this would be my favorite
#10 has a good design but the chassis is to large and I don't like the skin
I vote #6

@ JoeCB
To win a BBEANS needs also a little bit of luck. So if you don't meet the abslute worst case scenario in the first maches, you can go quite far with your bot.
@ man manu
Yes you are bad in DSL and your bot will probably not go farther than the first round. But take it easy, at least you joined. Sadly I didn't. I was to busy and I suck at DSL too. :biggrin:
Very hard to say which bot will win this time. My tip is watch for the tiny bots, with apparently unoffensive appearances. Very interesting are the entries of Infinite and Scrap Daddy. Both are well known for their well elaborated and complicated machines. And now they come up with these seemingly simple FBS. It's because they know the secrets of a decent MW bot: a tiny chassis, less motors and all the weight left goes to the weapons. If you take a closer look many entries use a small chassis. Therefor I think the two bots with track have no chance to win. To much weight was waisted for the drive. (sorry Somebody and Gigafrost)
Personally I would like to see one of these members as the winner:
Clickbeetle, Phlox, Barbie, Pyscolone, Seastalker, Meganerdbomb and Firebeetle. For all of them it's the forth time to join, but they did never win.

And for me the extendes in blue-red Paisley design, the ramplates in red bricks please with a silky sheen and the z-tecs in Ferrari red with a golden rim.
Just joking.

The most compact I ever saw. It should be around 700 kg, if I didn't mess up with my calculation.

nope. So what is it good for, when it runs only foreward and backward? I did several vertical chassis, but they can turn. When your base plate is in absolute upright position it can't. It must be tilted at least a little bit.

Ohlala. This bot is overloaded.
You can put several weapons on one piston with some extender working. I suggest to use ironspikes they have twice the amount of hitpoints.
I think two pistons with four spikes each, would do for the same effect. So you would need only one big airtank.
You can get rid of two of the black batteries aswell. One is enough for two hp-ztecs. Make the chassis just high enough to fit the z-tecs. Form the chassis airtight around the components. Use shiny hub wheels they are just big enough to get an invertible bot with ztecs (if your chassis has the correct height) but they weight less. If you do all this, your bot will probably end up to be a MW with the same power.
Ah, and btw, yes you have to build your bot again from scrach, if you want to change the chassis size. You will get habit to this. I build most of my bots about fife times, to finally get it the way I want.

You should maybe use Firefox with Linkscanner and Scriptblocker addons for surfing the net. You wont believe your eyes, when you see how many useless scripts are running on any ordinary website.

why would it matter if anyone else used it? its just like when you go to a wifi hotspot. but, i think you can set up a number. i didnt, but its your choice. Yes it does matter, and you should protect your wireless with a password. Without that, anybody can use your wireless and this can cut down the speed. Else it is possible (even though, some knowledge and some hacker software is needed), somebody hackes in your computer and steals your passwords or messes up your system. They are called wardrivers.

Hey, it's a working bot, which is more than most people on this forum can say they have.
If you ask me it looks pretty awesome. I have a real, real working bot (I mean he does a job). It's a Roomba, he cleans our house. :biggrin: And I have a working R2D2, he doesn't do a job, but he brings me a can of beer sometimes. :lol: Oh,btw: The bot is cool. Well done Zipdragon!

Don't forget to send your bank details to Sage. Just for the wire of the 10 bucks. :biggrin:

My DSL 2.0 doesn't have any bugs. I don't think you can load 2.1 on top of a former version. Make some copies of the game and name them differently. So you can have several versions availible. I have fife of them. (original, Starcore 2, Starcore 3, DSL 2.0 and one spare for the future DSL 2.1 :biggrin:)
This should be actually in the tech support, but anyway.
There are many ways to post a pic out of the game. There is a built in function for this, but I never use it (I'm not sure, if it is the F10 key). However it is in the tutorial file, that comes with the game.
I use Paint, because I usually don't like post the whole screenshots.
Press the "print screen" key - go to Paint - press "control and V" (will past the pic into Paint)- cut out the part of the screenshot you want to post - safe it in any folder you want, or on the desktop - go to the GTM image uploader (here, on the home page) or to any other external uploader (I use Imageshack) - upload the file - copy paste the link you get from there, in the text of your post - done.
Impotant: If you do it the first time, use the preview in the "go advanced", just to check, if your pics appear correctly, before you press the replay button.

Why would someone want to hide their advertisements? Because he did this allready before in visible text and he was banned. Now it seems he's back with another login and with a new trick. edit: I just saw he did it on the showcase of Clickbeetle too. Now I think, it will not take long any more and he will be out.

Hey, this looks good! I figured how you built it after some brain digging, but that is original.
I do belive it is possible to make him realitisic, but with a chassis with empty space. For making him a MW, you will probably have to give up the twin maces and use less powerful motors. It is not original. There was a time, many others of this type were showcased in RA2 original stock version. I just did some kind of a revival. Btw, all of them were HW. A MW version would be in fact new and could be called "original", especially if it would be realistic. But it will be tricky, because of the big rotating masses, that cause the bot to lift up sidewards while turning. A big problem allready in the HW version. It has to be flat and wide and it needs a srimech, to counter act the "just another friggin bouncing ball" effect (your words), once it is upside down. Are you still in the mood to try that?

If you download the actual version now, you will have time to get used to it. It might be easier to build a good bot in 2.1, when you have got some trainig on the old version first. DSL 2.1 will not be that much different from 2.0.

Anyway, I didn't find a way, to get it under better control. I see also no way, to make it a MW.
