Thought is was about time i set up a showcase for my bots. All the battleshots use Starcore v1 AI, I have 2 and 3 sitting somewhere on my computer as well. Click the thumbnails for a bigger image.

First Robot
SPIRITOMB

Yes I know it's a pokemon. Just so happens i play pokemon as well.

Internal

1 black battery for power
HP Z-tek drive and weapons

Spiritomb is pokemon with no weaknesses so it seemed appropriate at the time of build. I have since discovered i was kidding myself, it's major weakness is the exposed extenders and weapon motors are quite easy to get at with axes. It gets under most DSL AI though I have had problems with CE. Will submit battleshots if they are requested

dont build stock in dsl. other than that, its pretty good. looks like luigica's first bot in his showcase, and he became one of the best.

H@zm47 · « **Reply #2 on:** July 15, 2008, 09:46:22 AM »

Will take that into account next time. Thanks.

EDIT: this bot was built in stock, i just happened to export it to DSL and take the screenshot without thinking.

Looks like spawngeek's Spikefan. Which is a good bot. The biggest difference between his and yours is that he made his cooler looking, but then spawngeek was an expert at making cool-looking bots.

Getting compared to both luigica and spawngeek on your first post is a pretty good start, I think.

Wow thanks a lot! :D

Spiritomb beat Jabbewock which kinda shocked me

Anything else?

More coming soon I've had a lot of work recently

With schoolwork out the way now here's a new bot:

CYLINDER OF DISASTER

Generic name for a generic robot. It's big weaknesses are axes due to it's plastic armor (DSA was to heavy for the weapons

)

Internals:

Could someone please teach me how to snapper load? It might help me for a rebuild

It beat Vortex CE in a very close match

I reccomend not using a square chassis on your bots, make a chassis around your components so to speak. You don't want any open spaces at all. Uncheck the "Snap to grid " option in your chassis design section.

H@zm47 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2008, 07:47:42 PM »

Sure will do, thanks.
Does anyone have any tips on making a good popup?

H@zm47 · « **Reply #11 on:** August 16, 2008, 07:44:03 AM »

What started as a rebuild of cylinder of disaster became a totally different robot and thus:

POSSESSED LAWNMOWER

Many thanks go to sage for his marked extenders they saved me a lot of work
Made use of every single glitch i could with this one.
DSA Armour and the most compact robot i've built as the internals show

Can't see much so a opened him up as best i could.

He is very under powered and can't last a standard 3 minute fight. Most of his fights end within 45 seconds :)

Vs Borg Queen

Vs Jabberwock

Constructive feedback accepted.

Great Bot:-D

armor serves no purpose if the motors are still exposed.

Inf is correct, if you look at the first pic you can see the motors sticing out a bit. Otherwise its a very good bot.

If you learn how to use blue snappers, you could be a very, very good builder.
