Thisis my 799kg HW SpinDizzy it uses a dual perm weapon motor for disk with steel extenders and beater bars its drive is 2 dual mag motors and it uses 4 ant batteries (due to space).

This is FlowerPower a 760kg full spinner it uses mag motors for drive and a dual perm to spin a DSL disk with extenders attached for cutting teeth to mount to angled to allow full body coverage. it uses 4 ant batteries due to space limitations but its enough to power the drive and disk for full 3mins.

unfortunately the box is only way i could fit everything in even then was pretty close and the ants were as those were the only ones i could fit tbh as amount the hammer swings it uses a hell of a lot of power i could reduce a few of the ants and im thinking of adding a tail instead of the back support spikes kinda making it into a flail for the extra damage points. im focusing on more learning the DSL 2.2 building process but skinning is next one the list as it seems to be reasonable simple export>edit>import

So my newest HW (785KG) using a storm front hinge for the weapon, 2 npc fast for drive, 10mm aluminum armor and 2 wp863e and 5 ant batteries. it uses steal plates for front armor and wedges and 2 spiked extenders for back supports. It can take 1 hell of a beating does good damage but can be difficult to control.

I see you have an affinity for hexplates. You could manipulate them and get a cleaner and more rounded shape.

i may have to do that as i should have enough weight to tidy it up thanks for idea

My try at a vert disk spinner 789kg HW using dsl disks with cutting teeth using 2 npc fast for drive and an e-tech double axle for the disks. it also has a front hinge flipper for self righting, its uses ant batteries for power.

Last build for today while i still get used to using DSL i thought i would try a front hinge flipper. HW 797KG using 2 storm front hinge pistons, 2 NPC fast PC and WP batteries 10MM aluminum armour and steal panels for flipper arms and wedges with spikes for extra damage and hexplate wheel armor.

i will add a basic weapon support and i havent fully tested the battery life yet so i put 2 in just to be safe for now but i will probably remove one and shorten the chassis when i make the final build in its current state it doesnt offer much weight to play with to keep it a HW. i was originally going to make it 4 wheel drive with the disks hidden before i settled on making it a disk thwackbot.

This is my new HW 793KG of dizzying fury using 2 PC545 batteries 2 NPC (fast) drive motors 2 reinforced perm 80 XXL weapon motors each with a solid 100cm disk with 2 ripping teeth each 2 casters and 2 slap happy wheels covered in 10mm aluminum. it can run invertable but slight unstable and can spin up while spinning its ripping disks each controlled with a separate switch to conserve battery life.

Looks great. Also, is this an IRL bot, Because if yes, you should enter it to a tournament (Orc's Wars Overclocked).

Also, just to clarify what FOTEPX said, DSL-S is unrealistic, and as he said before, focus more on competitiveness, with emphasis on making a bot as efficient as possible. IRL, on the other hand, is making a bot as close as to what is possible in real life

its perfectly feasable in real life i believe 13 black in robot wars uk did something very similar i just havent learnt how to AI bots yet to enter it

so this is now what my current incarnation of my MW (formerly HW) looks like i replaced the armor with 3MM aluminum, it now has extender work for its front scoop/shovel to offer it some spinner protection. The drive has remained unchanged but i have added an extra WPC836e battery and removed the battlepack and changed to VDMA to power both axes.

That's pretty good for a newcomer. You got any extra info for it, such as weight. Based on what I can see, you might need more batteries for it, perhaps another red bat and changing the current burst motors to some of the VDMA ones, much better for axes.

currently have it as a heavily armour HW I'm using the 2 mag snapper (fast) for the axes 2 TWM3R (drive) for the S3 Wheels as for batteries have a WP836e and a battlepack. The Shovel itself is static only used to keep spinner from the chassis while pinning for the axes. its has self righted in testing and the spikes allow it to move on its tail in order to aid in the self righting or if on top of another bot.

I'd recommend you up the drive to NPCFasts, that's kinda the standard on HWs. With the shovel, try putting it on a hinge, you'd have an easier time getting under stuff, this would better allow you to pin stuff against walls etc. What's the armour on it, you might be able to drop it down to make weight for these adjustments

Armour is 10MM titanium so pleantly of weight to work with i just dropped it down to 5MM and added the VDMA to give that a test run the kickback throws it slightly up but with hit zone being small they should be in shovel to counter that. I have around 100KG to work with before i make any fine tuning so could look at upgraded drive as you recommend and and an extra long battery

To help with the jumping, adding a tail close to the floor can assist with stability

was just thinking of ripping off BETA for that lol keeping it flush to floor but small enough can self right easily still, other then that think just need check battery life with new upgrades and see if i can make room for new drive motors

I just thought id show first attempt at using the RA2 DSL no very clean but it is pretty simple heavyweight ill probably add color and tweak it a bit before being able to actually use it but i like the idea of a shovel bot with overhead as a lot of spinners out there.
