DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Voltaic Wraith)
« on: January 22, 2024, 05:59:40 PM »
Surprise! Yes, I'm still alive and kicking, and shockingly I've come back before the forums have had the chance to bitch at me for posting in my own thread. Though I've been catapulted into full-time apprenticeship work and job stuff, I still had some time to mess about with some ideas in my head. And fortunately for y'all, I've managed to cook something in my head and get it to fruition! Aaaaanyways, here you go.

Voltaic Wraith.png

This is Voltaic Wraith. A 'bot made through inspiration from a new machine the ORBY team made alongside notes of REALITY in there, Voltaic Wraith's a 4WD hubmotor VS with a negative wedge and ground game, basically like what Beta tried to do but actually somewhat effective this time around. I know not being a weg can hurt in RA2, but I'm just here to cook stuff up and hope for the best. And hey, it looks like it went pretty damn well, all things considered.

Now to scurry into the shadows for 8 more months...

DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Tsunami)

...oops.

Yeah, I thought I'd be more active in 2022, but unsurprisingly I ended up getting blindsided by work commitments. Sadly, I ended up forgetting about RA2 and nearly just disappeared. Fortunately, after a parsec session messing around, I got my spark back and made a new 'bot to shake the rust off.

So anyways, here's Tsunami. The newest iteration of a machine that's nearing 7 years old at this point, it's still the same old world viciousness merged with new world sensibilties, still keeping its lethal angled flywheel while now being updated for the current year, with a new chassis and enhanced skinwork. Here's hoping that's not the only thing I make this year... or in the next year.

DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Acceptable Overkill)
« on: January 09, 2022, 12:19:49 PM »
Wait, so not only have I managed to make more 'bots in 2021, I've managed to do so in a matter of days? What the hell happened to the old doot and what is going on?

Acceptable Overkill.png

This is Acceptable Overkill. A machine built similarly to Deep Six, Acceptable Overkill's weapon is a large vertical flywheel that is powered by the most powerful motor that can be fitted in a 'bot, a 72V 4-Mag. This basically means it hits like a freight train, though stability and explosive tendencies tend to be a bit of a massive problem in RA2. Still, Acceptable Overkill can self-right well enough and has enough force to punt even Super Heavyweights off into the distance.

...I've got a lot of explaining to do, huh?

I've been inactive throughout most of 2021 for reasons mostly pertaining to my own self, to be honest. The spark in RA2 I had seemed to fade massively, especially with my hard drive killing itself, but I've still been around in some minimal sense trying to better myself. And now, almost like some corpse, I return to life out of nowhere to make some 'bots. Why? Who knows. But I'm making stuff, damnit, and I'm about to show off for a bit!

Seraphim REBORN.png

Here's Seraphim Reborn. A total upgrade to an old machine, being Seraphim, this reborn model has been heavily updated with most of the stuff I've learnt over the past years, from OBJRA2 to all manner of skinning and stuff, its an upgrade that stays faithful to the original while being just that bit better in every way.

Hi, all.

I did say I was going to finish up Annihilation Nation 2's reserve battles and rumble, but unfortunately I'm now incapable of doing that at this point. The hard drive in my laptop bit the big one and ultimately killed itself, but the good news is my laptop's still working thanks to an SSD being fitted in. The bad news? All data relating to Annihilation Nation 2, including 'bots, templates, statcards and all I had is now completely gone and irretrievable because the hard drive just fully died on me.

I hate to bring this news to you all. If I manage to get myself the files and everything again, I could give it another shot, but it'll be way off into the future if I even do so.

The tournament is now over due to technology screwing me again. I really need to get better luck with that type of thing...

Tournament Archives / Annihilation Nation 2 - Tournament Update
« on: April 11, 2021, 05:49:33 PM »
Hey, guys. Unfortunately, I probably won't end up posting the Reserves/Final Rumble anytime soon as I've severely lost the drive to continue onward, so the chances are I'm probably gonna end Annihilation Nation 2 right there. I'm sorry about this announcement, but I've probably left it far too late at this point.

There will potentially be a chance I'll finish up the tournament and do the last couple episodes in time, but its a slim possibility. At least with the main tournament done we do have a champion crowned, so there's that at least.

DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Bunker Buster)

Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...

Bunker Buster.png

...ah, right, here's Bunker Buster. I whipped this up rather quickly to get back into the swing of IRL building. It's basically a Hammerhead-like 'bot with 4 spikestrips for ramming and 4 astros for speedy attacks and escapes. I didn't think this'd be my first 'bot of 2021, but here we are.

« on: February 27, 2021, 08:31:24 AM »
I hate to say this, but honestly I don't think I'll be doing the extra episodes I wanted to do mainly because of a lack of requests and motivation. However, I will still do the Reserve Rumbles and Royal Rumble episodes soon, so look forward to those. ^_^

Tournament Archives / Annihilation Nation 2: The Grand Final
« on: February 14, 2021, 01:02:17 PM »
And now, after 8 deadly heats and 2 destructive semi-finals, The Grand Final is now finally out as we crown ourselves an Annihilation Nation Champion!


Fight Summaries:

So now we have other episodes to deal with, and this means the battle requests are now available! You can now request various fights between 'bots in the form of Vengeances (1v1), Tag Team battles, Mayhems (3-way battles) or the classic Rumbles. Only the 10 best fights from each set will be picked if there are too many fights in one set.

As for the Reserve Rumbles, I'll be doing those first while you guys bring in fight suggestions.

Reserve Rumble Fights:


RESERVE RUMBLES COMING SOON...

Tournament Archives / Annihilation Nation 2: Semi Final Draws
« on: January 18, 2021, 11:54:20 AM »
Its time to reveal the draws for the 16 'bots remaining in Annihilation Nation 2! Here are the Semi Final draws for all your 'bots!

This will be spoiler tagged as now we're past the heats and this essentially reveals the results for all the heats. Anyways, here are who your 'bots are gonna be fighting against!


The builders that have modular 'bots will have time to decide their configs for the fights ahead, so hopefully we'll be all ready to roll again this week! ^_^

And now the heats reach their conclusion as Heat H has now come out!


Fight Summaries:

I will be doing the semi-final draws tomorrow, but I may be taking a brief break to make sure I've got everything in order. It's been a wild ride thus far, and here's hoping the semi-finals are even wilder!

The Semifinals are coming soon...

Quick little note, I've switched around Heats D and H to keep my upload schedule consistent because the original Heat D's been an absolute havok fest. Good news is that the new Heat D's stuff is recorded and will hopefully be ready to come out tomorrow. ^_^

DSL TC Showcases / dootIRL (Sergeant RL-3)
« on: December 07, 2020, 10:39:23 AM »
God, I'm so rusty with building. Still, that ain't gonna stop me from making something, no matter how weird, wonderful or messy.

Sergeant RL-3.png

So here's Sergeant RL-3, a 'bot based off of a Mr Gutsy of the same name from Fallout and armed with pneumatic punching fists to give it a major edge over other 'bots and push them around the arena, helped by a heavy plow and 4-wheel drive to overwhelm all in its path, especially spinners. Fast and aggressive, its main weakness is its ground clearance.
