your designs remind me of Merricks style of bot building (hopefully you wont PMS ragequit as he did). especially how they look like they were made by someone who just picked up DSL.

but in all honesty i just dont like 1/2 of the bots. the terrorhurtz-lookalike and the brown spikestrip/iron rammer looks like they have promise though

EDIT- apart from the extender look and the fact that its about 50 kg underweight, Biovore actually looks cool
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Scrolled through that thread. I can see what you mean, tampon change needed.  :popcorn

I like to think my bots aren't as simple as that though. I'll continue posting in here, shall I? Instead of making another thread in showcases for basically the same thing?

(Thanks for the Biovore feedback. I couldn't quite work out an effect for the sort of clamp style that worked with the axes, so extenders it is. At least it'll look cool when they fall off.)

it was mostly the sawbot that reminded me of merricks bot "trash"

i would suggest that you start a showcase. i mean, the showcase section isnt there for nothing.

The only bad one is the one with S3 wheels.

Yeah, it's a bit basic and bland. One of the first ones I built. Will most likely not make the cut and get replaced.
Tempted to run some 'qualifiers' when I have to whittle down to the ones that will make the cut.

Still need to download Photoshop in order to make custom skins, and better splashes.
I did try and make a splash but I don't like it very much.

yeah bro you need to make a showcase

if you did that with stock DSL decals and edges and whatnot in the paint lab, then that's pretty freakin' stellar.

Not exactly. The chevron stripe thing isn't stock DSL decals. Not sure where it's from, but I downloaded all the textures, decals, etc that I found on the front page of the website.

Yeah, that's what I meant by "whatnot"

Ooooh. I got confused as it wasn't technically 'stock' DSL decals.

Looking though my bots I've realised I've made way too much use of that chevron stripe. May have to start redoing some of them.  :rage

Sorry, bud. Just started posting pictures without thinking about 4 different people or something telling me to make a showcase. :L

I know, just saying, I could give you more help in a showcase though.

Showcase is up.

Apologies once again for picture spam in this thread.
