Trivia
Superior painter, average builder.

Dragonsteincole, or "DSC", is a newcomer to Gametechmods, having joined in October 2010. He generally sticks to making IRL-styled bots in DSL, which can be seen here. He doesn't often build replicas, but when he does, they tend to be of superior quality, having built replicas of Panic Attack, and Refbot from the UK Robot Wars series, which is where he draws most of his inspiration for his bots.

More recently, he released the DSC IRL packs for DSL 2.2, which provide many different coloured versions of extenders, discs and armour plates.

Skill

Stock - Pretty terrible. Has entered RoboLeague with a popup called Fodder, which is sure to be the SFTW of the tournament. He finds it much harder to build in Stock due to playing DSL first.

DSL - Tends to build bots in a very IRL-style, that can occasionally brush against being combat-worthy. Builds with style over efficiency, although most of his bots rely on a good paintjob rather than any other asthetic appeal. Uses the DSC IRL packs to great effect.

Modding - Was a good painter even before he discovered how to paint bot textures in 512x512. Can re-skin components, although is very limited in creating new components. Has absolutely no understanding of arena editing and BFE, and cannot create components due to only having ZModeller.

Tournament Entries

Replica Wars 2 - Raizer Blade - Lost to 027 LB's bot Death By Monkeys in Round 1 (0-1).

Replica Wars 3 - Raizer Blade - Middleweight version of his lightweight Replica Wars 3 bot. Lost to Jack Daniels's bot Mouser Mecha Catbot in first round. (0-1)

Clash of the Titans - Armosaurus - Lost to GroudonRobotWars's multi-bot 1002 Problems in Round 1 (0-1), and is awaiting it's fight in the Loser's Bracket against FOTEPX.

RA2 Team Championships - Caped Crusader - Part of Team 4TW. Lost to Squirrel_Monkey in the LW Faceoff. Beat Craaig in the 3rd-Place Playoff. Team came 3rd overall. (1-1)

RA2 Team Championships 2 - Chinook - Again part of Team 4TW. Lost to Scrap Daddy in the Tabletop match. Beat King_Mushroom in the 3rd-Place Playoff . Team came 3rd overall again, however Chinook was voted Team 4TW's SFTW and tied for BTRSHDWBDDTGL of the tournament. (1-1)

RA2 Team Championships 3 - Pricklish - Became a verteran of Team 4TW. Along with 090901 they beat MikeNCR and MassimoV in the Tag team match. Beat Craaig in the Tabletop grand Final. Overall Team 4TW won the tournament. (2-0)

Battlebots - Hellfrog - Lost to 027 LB in Round 1. (0-1). It's defeat was quite controversial due to the extremely bad AI given to it by Frieezez, who had been unable to AI his original entry.

Notable Robots

Bullfrog/Treefrog EVO/Hellfrog - A series of 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 so far his only relatively-successful bot. Currently undefeated in 2 competitive fights, and in one bonus rumble. A Rammer with a big front-skirt.

Notable Replicas

Raizer Blade - Built for the Replica Wars tournaments, there now exists a Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight version of the same bot. All are uncompetitive.

Refbot - HW replica of the Robot Wars House Robot.

Panic Attack - A replica of the Series 7 version of the UK bot, and the first bot of his to use a 512x512 texture.

Challenge Board

IRL Challenge (Bullfrog) vs. Thyrus vs. NFX - Victory. DSL HW IRL challenge for the DSL HW title vs. Avalanche - Defeat.
