I think it would be better with the scoop only. I like it, however.
What the hell is a single scoop going to do?

You do know this is a stock showcase, right? It's not about presentation, more about combat effectiveness.

More-so IRL than competitive DSL-S.


Oh yeah, stock. Uhh... suffering from builders block again. Give me hybrid ideas again.

I'm gonna just barge in and say this is BS. Stock can be about presentation or combat effectiveness about equally.

It's just that we are wired to think "stock=maximum efficiency" due to the main stock building style.

You're right but I said 'more about' combat effectiveness. I wasn't saying that's the only thing people should strive for, just that DSL does presentation much better. Plus, it was obvious that RedAce was striving for combat effectiveness.

Thanks for helping me with a hybrid idea guys.



Obvious clone is obvious. :P 396.0, 1 Black, Plastic Armor. Not exactly happy about that last feature. I probably could rebuild the chassis to shrink to be airtight so I can attach DSA, but I doubt it would work though.

Edit: I just realized the razors on it's left tribar are facing the wrong way. I will fix that.

Pics please? I'd like to see what you did differently if better or worse.


Anyway, two bots using Amnesia's chassis:



Left: Rebuilt that Tick clone from a few pages back, but now it's improved. DSA? Check. HPZ's? Check. A Black? Check. Forklift for armor since I had weight. Hmm... I got a bad feeling about that.
Right: I made another hybrid out of it. Generic, but I at least filled the hybrid quota I was aiming for. DSA and the works.

4/20 national stock bot building day
And no stock bots have been showcased for this holiday. I must fix this. Too bad I only have two generic bots for this though.



Massacre. 398.0 kg, DSA, 1 Black. Originally I had razors instead of claws, but I had a couple kg to eat up so I slapped them on and they do just fine.



One. 248.7 kg, DSA, 1 Nifty. I wanted to see if I can make a bot like Le\/eL while having all redbirds. Seems I did well enough although I can't make it invertible which I'm not as bummed out as I should be.

what's the extender setup like for the one on the right?
Something like this:




And I just realized I could probably make the T connector a 20 cm and upgrade the claws to irons. Hmm... Maybe I'll try that.

2 pinks, DSA, blah blah blah. Meant to be an HS killing machine and it beat Slasher no problem, so I guess it gets the job done.

Surprised you got weight for all those weapons. Looks pretty good. However, maybe it would work slightly better if you angled the razors upward a bit? I know not all HS have their weapons that low.

Hmm, I could try that, then again, the poker system provides that.


Anyway, Not-so-cool hybrid:



Got the idea from AS's Mole SnS from a year or two back.
