A little prototype that i never really finished because i stopped playing for a bit:

A pop-up(?) and vertical spinner hybrid.
Armor is 3mm steel? Idk
Destroys things amazingly
one problem though, it's not invertible nor can it self right.
the bsg was intended to make it self right but all it really does is hilariously saw people behind it

An even older version, destroying shogun using only its poppers

It would be great if you just told us and stop speaking in riddles.

Um that black disc is static, Chicken. It's perfectly realistic.

It's definitely unique but I cant see it doing that well in combat sadly.

i tested it out against sabertooth and samuari and i managed to kill them easily
but then i got to red alert and died

edit:
so i did a little testing with the ingame tourneys and i found out it sucks againsts hs's

this one can self-right
uses perm 80 el

It was just some wacky idea I made in about 10 minutes

I tried rammer and side hammer, but i couldn't make them effective, i'll try doing that again.

Made a new hybrid bot (Hammer and SnS)

uses alu 1
inside are npc fasts, an orange battery, and a battlepack
60kg sledgehammer

the front is surprisingly durable
hammer is extremely powerful, but exposed
has some problems self-righting

edit:
made some changes; gave it a cooler name

spins really fast now

-don't fool around with different wheel sizes on the same bot unless the bot design really requires it. In your case it doesn't. (See: The Troll)

Where do I find "The Troll", i tried searching for it and it just led me back to this.

Hi guys, I tried something different:

armor it titanium 5
underweight because i have no idea what to put
The wedges are great. I've been trying to use wedges that aren't emergency's, but i cant.
however, the reach of the weapons is ok

fighting mako:

Thanks for advice guys.
I have a question about the metal hinge, when i try to move it, it havoks off into oblivion
after the hinge returns to orbit, moving the slider around makes it do nothing
i guess it's supposed to be like that?

I made yet another pop up; i tried making different stuff but they all failed



the extender work is too heavy, considering the fact that only 1% of it is exposed

I like the idea behind the flails, but those motors aren't BSGs dude :P

BSGs are the green burst motors.

oh haha, well i fixed that now.

not related to the motors, I realized that the bot really sucks at self-righting
the second bot didnt suck at doing that, but the third one does and I have no idea how to fix it

I made a third version of Electric Ladyland


still uses titanium 1 armor

The chassis is much more smaller and uses the bsg motors.
On the front outside is a flail, so if my wedge falls off, i can become a shell spinner... lol. (But by then I would have already lost the match.) It's great for ramming too.

With the extra weight you can get some more front armor, those shell panels won't last long against most of today's standard bots.

One things I noticed is that some bots don't even use armor, they just use a load of weapons all around.

another edit: but anyways those bsgs retract really slowly whenever I fire the burst. Sometimes they just stay there. Could be because of the weight of the steel extenders and razors?

...also, are you guys sure this bsg motor is good? It looks flimsy and slow when I use it.

I mean, it's great for my flipper, but im not too sure about the weapon part

edit: I don't know, I tried using a different motor and it does the same thing too after I looked at both of them closely, must be because of the sound.

welcome to gtm
they look nice for first post bots. you might want to use bsg bursts. also ant batteries will save you some weight as far as i know. take out the huge orange one for that.

What can I do with the extra space in my chassis? Cut it down?

Firstly welcome to the forums.

Thanks!

Second, they are some decent robots for a newbie. They are definitely not generic in anyway and the extender work is pretty good.

Actually I have been playing this game for quite a while now.
I played ra2 since like 2 years ago but never really went into the mod intil now.

Hi, so after nerd3 reminded me that this game does exist and has a mod I decided to try out the game again.
Previously I gave up on DSL because I found it hard, but here I am now.
Also, I have been lurking this forum for quite a while now

I built 2 bots, both of them are pop-ups
Bot 1:

Armor: Titanium 1
It has some influence from Team Dragon's heavyweight and uses that angled panel thing as a flipper. There was also a metal hinge with a small wedge on the front, but I removed it and forgot to put it back on.
The metal sheet on top was supposed to stop hammers and that stuff and it sorta worked.
Speaking about the front, it was my attempt to basically stop damage coming. it worked most of the time.

Here's the inside:

It's uses two npc fasts and hypno wheels.



Bot 2:

Armor: Titanium 1
This one is much closer to the weight limit.
I basically looked at pon2n and said, "that's some good armor there"
so I basically did that to my bot.
It uses the emergency flipper instead of the small wedge because I found it more useful when it is bigger. It also still manages to get under bots. (some of the time, i could use some advice on wedging)
I also put that angled skirt up top because I thought it looked cool and I just had 3kg left to use.

Here's the inside:

(A red battery is missing here)

After removing the armor, the bot weights 699.9 kg.
This one is a 4WD: Hypno wheels are at the front and slipper bottom are at the back. Why did I use slipperbottoms? I thought it looked cool. :U
I was better on the extender work here. (Except for that back part)
The back part is just the extra wide ram. There is also some titanium sheets (or whatever you call it) on the bottom of the bot, since I noticed the back mostly took damage.


here's a feat I managed to do


this one was much more easier than I thought, I just had to run under it 2 times and then it just died.

i also beat emergency with it.


so those are the bots i have made so far. Any critique or suggestions for it?
