Ello, So instead of making seperate writeups on some of my ants, i will just chuck em into 1 thread, since i make them every like 3 seconds
Underwear
To start off, lets begin with the first one. back in 2023 i comissioned an ant by Ellie. based on a bot that wouldve been my first irl bot, yet, i never made it (this was 2019)
Back in my day, i made gmod bots, with that, i mean i still do
Its was named Underwear as a joke of being “An undercutter that will wear you down”. as the original one wouldve been a saw.
And the cad, 2023 was something
Alas, underwear didnt fight in the first event, mainly cuz my battery wouldnt fit in (they lied bout the sizes online). so it had to sit out Dortmund.
See the very tight squeeeeze
2nd event tho, it did run, alas, it did have some issues. mainly running as an undercutter, since it would then not be controlable at all. and so it was an overcutter for most events
After it getting ruined at the 2024 DRG Clubday, i reprinted it out of tpu, as the pla had gone brokey
it just looks sad here
Like, Really fuckin sad
After the teardown, i did the reprint and slapped it together for dortmund!
As good as new!
And dortmund went well, very well, it actualy won it! it won all its fights, and the final melee. and it finally ran upsidedown and didnt explode!!
I followed the advice of simply win
After this, i went to the UK with it, first a sportman event, Garry’s Wars Offline. Entered as Under, since i couldnt run the spinner on it
Look at that GLOW
It ended up getting 4th, losing to cassette and firestorm, and having one amazing comeback pittage against Simon Harrison
The Men
After this it went to Botfest. which was allot of fun. it did respectable. getting drilled into the first fight, then exploding someones jaw. although in the rumble, the switch got hit and made it scary to handle.
After this it was ment to do Hannover, with new switch installed. sadly, something electronic had died and so it didnt fight. and that is pretty much underwear as it stands. it will be back as under in june and i might make it work again for other comps if i got the space n time in the team.
To be Continued!
