| Superior painter, average builder. | ||
Dragonsteincole, or "DSC", is an IRL bot builder and modder, having joined in October 2010. He generally sticks to making IRL-styled bots in DSL, which can be seen here, but has branched out into other metas occasionally. He has also made a handful of replicas, mainly of bots from Robot Wars.
After taking a hiatus in 2013, he returned in 2016 initially continuing to build IRL bots in DSL 2.2. But soon branched out to create the IRL Component Packs, which added recoloured and reskinned DSL components and have quickly become almost a standard part of a DSL install.
Skill
Stock - Pretty terrible. He finds it much harder to build in Stock due to playing DSL first. His only notable Stock bot is the MW Toybox, which made it to Round 3 in GTMCS.
DSL - Initially building in a IRL-specific style, with focus on looks over combat-effectiveness. Since his return from hiatus the bots have started to creep closer to Standard but are still mainly IRL. His most successful meta with a number of victories in IRL tournaments. Less successful in Standard. Doesn't always build up to the weightlimit.
Retooled - His only notable bot in Retooled is the HW hoverbot Action News Choppa! which came second in the GTMCS, only losing to UberPyro in the final.
Modding - Was always a good painter, his skillset has increased far more since his return. Is now able to create new components, reskin and edit existing ones, model and texture components, all skills which were picked up in the creation of the IRL Component packs.

Notable Robots
Bullfrog/Treefrog EVO/Hellfrog - A series of IRL bots built around a frog theme. All are flippers, with Bullfrog and Hellfrog having beater bars in order to give it some damaging capability. Pricklish - Bot from RA2 Team Championships 3, and his first successful DSL-Standard bot. Currently undefeated in 2 competitive fights, and in one bonus rumble. A Rammer with a big front-skirt.
Sir Lance-a-Frog - A family of bots with their roots in the Bullfrog bot, the first and most successful bot is the original MW Sir Lance-a-Frog. There is currently 4 bots in this family: LW- Young Lance-a-Frog. MW - Sir Lance-a-Frog. CW - Queen Lance-a-Frog and HW - King Lance-a-Frog. All bots share a common design theme of being 2WD with horizontal spinners/blades, and a lance/pole spike as a secondary weapon, decorated in a loose Medievil knight theme. All bots feature the Cole family Coat of Arms on the top of the chassis. Currently both Sir Lance-a-Frog and Queen Lance-a-Frog are tournament winners.
Carbon Copy/CarboniZe - Starting as a SHW DSL-S bot in the style of Warhead]], there have been over a dozen versions of this bot in different weightclasses. Many heavyweight versions of Carbon Copy fought in the Battlebots tournaments with little success, but since 2016 the bot has been redesigned and refined and now has found success in a number of tournaments. All bots again share a theme of a 2WD angled horizontal spinner, whilst recent versions have added a srimech/tail which sits over the spinner. CarboniZe was the first bot in this series to taste success, winning Death Battle. A colour variant of this same bot called CarboniCe was on the winning Team Light in Guldenflame's 2017 edition of Light vs Dark, being the sole survivor. There also exists a SHW and UHW version of Carbonize, and an axe variant of the newer 2017 CarboniZe.
Stratton - A 2500kg UHW bot, built as a house-robot for Cephalopod's Robot Wars 2016 tournament. A 4WD Bulldozer with a burning hammer.
