Seconded on the DSL 2.0 .... the tail can be used as a whip or something, too.

Apollyon isn't a real bot yet. It could be dramatically changed or even abandoned before it's built. So, no DSL for Apollyon yet, even if there were room/time for more replicas.

But Apollyon does look like a good design. More wedges should have spikes at the top, it looks cool and it's very effective.

At least Ruiner did better than Defy Ant. It did some good damage and won a fight, and against some very stiff competition.

http://nearchaos.net is up and running

not quite. Transferred to an actual domain nearchaos.net as opposed to nearchaos.50webs.com

Also added the page for Apollyon

High quality apollyon render. All the empty space is where the flamethrower stuff will go

The move is over, I've got a decently stable connection and things are starting to settle down for now.

Managed to win $180 at a casino on the way to NC. $30 went to fireworks, the rest will go to bots.

Ruiner and Apollyon are registered for RG2007, and CSGIC(my teammates bot) may compete as well.

I've won another $180 at casinos since then, so funds for apollyon and the ruiner rebuild have almost completely been taken care of.

Re-rendered Ruiner to add some changes I thought of recently(mostly to do with motor support)

Wow, nice CAD! I see you added some more aluminum for the weapon support...should be a lot stronger now.

Finally got the video of the fight with whack!!!

I'm killing time right now waiting for the big move to RIT. I'm playing around with ideas for a 30lber(the most likely thing I'll build after apollyon)

There are also some other designs here.

A larger, more powerful apollyon.

A high speed rammer meant to take on the many spinners popping up in the 30lb class.

A strong vertical disk robot.

A wierd drum concept I was playing with. no specific weight class.

A MW drum concept.

A possible 60lb bar spinner.

A 30-60lb wedge using two ev warriors for drive.

If you have any ideas for a 30lb robot, feel free to post them.

You really like thinking ahead, don't you. Those are all awesome-looking designs

For ideas, there's a really interesting discussion going on in the RFL forums right now about solenoid-powered hammers. Making one of those in the 30 lb class would be cool, since I don't know if there even are any 30 lb hammer bots.

New logo can be seen at http://Nearchaos.net which was recently rebuilt.

Getting shirts made. Will have a few spares, but not many.

SpyGuy · « **Reply #33 on:** November 21, 2006, 08:06:43 PM »

Nice designs, dude .... going to try making them in the game, as well? It looks like they should work well...

You need to add some pics to that website.

not sure if this was part of the issue, but the robots page links to each robots page, which has pictures

Edit-modified site to make it more clear

Let me reprases that. I AM A DUMBASS.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2007, 04:17:10 PM »

Solidworks files have been sent to the whyachi's for apollyon's sides, horns, and the firebox.

Bought a piece of 3/32"x3"x18" piece of A2 tool steel that I'm going to cut and harden for the front wedge. a big chunk of AL is in rochester for the back, then it's just making the bottom, front and top armor(likely 1/8" al) before I've got all the parts to make the bot drive.

Still need to get the plumbing and gas tank for the flamethrower.

When it is finished I would like to see a video at it in action. :wink:

If I can get the green flame idea working, that video will be up faster than a midget on a catapult.
