Dreamcast's Showcase

[Dreamcast]

SnS reeeeeee...
Slow spin up because of the flails, but the robot is normally able to survive an opponent's box rush.


My plan is for the best weapon to be an ugly skin.

3 blacks IIRC.

What are those bursts doing? Do they flip or just sit there statically?

They try to flip opponents. The blades on the front are attached to the DDTs via 20cm extenders (which are red because I like them).

[Pwnator]

E-wedges are nice alternatives for blades if you don't want to build for the lulz. You could also protect the RADs better if you rotate the anchors so the AP is flush against the edge. That, and downgrading the wheels and removing the wedge blades could probably net you another pair of ramplates.

[ty4er]

im almost 100% sure you can save weight on the second bot by making the design more like a trapezoid, aswell as getting rid of the blades, which would give you more armour for the front which you kinda need. it'd be better if you could have the ramplates or whatever else you put on there go past the edge of the chassis to protect it more against hs

[090901]

i would remove the ramplates and brackets, mount the DDTS to 2 anchors (saves a kg), change to shinies, swap a black to a nifty, reshape the chassis to be wider and more shallower instead of some 2010 inf popup chassis and then add more rad sweepers.

[Dreamcast]

Better Weapon motor like an HS, or better drive like a popup?
2 motors or 1?

lol, hope I didn't accidentally click the same image twice

[Pwnator]

You're just adding points of failure with those angled extenders. Just use the 140cm's alt AP and have the snapper arms rotate 90 degrees backwards for the same effect (albeit slightly shorter). No idea where else to squeeze out 4 kg for all irons.

[Dreamcast]

Better?

Meow! :>

[Pwnator]

Yeah, that looks much better.

[Dreamcast]

Quick build that was made by 50 people already. Regardless I kind of like like mine. Obviously armored with DSA.

Next up, another HW flipper (what a joyous occasion)

[Dreamcast]

There's no flipper yet because I'm going to skin it.

Here's a skin that is way worse and going be seen by anyone who watches the challenge belt.

[Dreamcast]

I think I should post my flipper soon. But I want you guys to select a skin.

[courthousedoc]

I like the second one, therefore it is that one that gets my vote.

[Dreamcast]

I'm going to save those skins for version 4. Here is version 3...

and this is my fodder entry that won the Challenge Belt.

[Dreamcast]

Here comes the LWs

Spinal 3 (247.9)

Al Franken's Snuggly Supprise (248.8)

Chox Plox (247.4)

Cold Dagger

Cookie Cutter LW HS V-2IR (248.1)

Edit: added some names

[Fracture]

Pretty solid, DSA on all I'm guessing. Though that extender on the last one is pretty exposed; even if it's just there for armor it might mess with invertibility.

I like the juggler the best, but the crawler would probably perform the best in a tournament.

[Dreamcast]

Pretty solid, DSA on all I'm guessing.

Yes, all but the hammer.

[Dreamcast]

"Flamethrowers are allowed"

What does this mean?

gee, I wonder

I wonder if anyone can actually fit a flamethrower on anything that isn't a pusher.

Well I'll be a human being's uncle.

[Dreamcast]

I just rebuilt a robot so it could run inverted, AMA.
