So this is a brief summary of the history of my favourite and most successful robot series from the DSL mod on robot arena 2. So it all started When I started playing it and built my first horizontal spinner Leviathan.
A slow heavy beast with a temper. It was slow and useless losing most its fights and sucking overall. Then I made my first Middleweight which would eventually become the concept for the firs of the Newt series called Real Nasty.
It had an immensely quick spinner powered by the same motor the in game Tornado Mer has (not the 6 way one the one with 4) it however was incredibly slow and never won much. So I was fed up of my previous awful attempts (plus many more) and I decided to make a lightweight and so started the Newt series with the first and most successful of team Amphib's robots Angry Newt!!!
It was successful fast and powerful with tough armour an overall great lightweight. I later decided to make a heavyweight version of it that was my only successful heavyweight (at the time) P***** Off Salamander.
It was a beast with tough armour and strength an ok weapon and average speed but no where near the success rate of the Angry newt. I also decided to make a beetleweight version called Miffed Off Tadpole Newt.
It was ok but nothing special. Unfortunately something went wrong with my computer and it deleted my DSL folder. I was gutted and upset all my robots where gone and I had to download a new DSL game where I made a recreation of Angry Newt fittingly called Angry Newt Recreation.
It was a real downgrade and a lot worse than the original but it was ok. Whilst scouting through old folders I remember I had a file that contained a bunch of old robots I downloaded and my own (for if I wanted to post my own to the bot exchange this was long before I made this profile) and too my joy I found them all and was so happy. A robot that's worth a mention that was originally going to be a middleweight version of angry newt but was quickly changed for a more original design was a bot called Soda.
It was ok and very destructive but also very fragile. And so ends this awful showcase its poorly made I know but its a first attempt at one which I hope you enjoyed :) .
