2nd one looks dope

trying to rebuild some of my older bots but im still rusty

My attempt at rebuilding my old T-400 rebuild. I thought I was able to give it 4 birds with 3 razors each, then halfway through the build I realized I'm ~60 kgs off my estimate FeelsBadMan. Oh well, didn't want the chassis to go to waste anyway. But yeah, still mediocre.

I have some other ideas for this, but I don't think I'll be able to retain its T-silhouette. Gonna find a way to rebuild my old Jupiter rebuild as well.

eh

Took another whack at the rebuild, somehow made it look even more generic. It's basically REVENGE with wedges.

As for the Jupiter rebuild rebuild:

2 blacks, 24 irons (2 irons each on 4 flails, the rest static). Shreds most 2WD bots, still somewhat weak vs 4WD (it basically loses when it gets pinned as it has no recovery at all), but I guess that's the whole gist of the bot. Kinda proud of the drive setup, so yay. also stock flails in 2016 LUL

how to tilt sage

1. don't put a jupiter skin on jupiter
2. red extenders
3. BFE your snappers away from the bot to show off your drive setup

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #1324 on:** September 08, 2016, 06:14:49 PM »

lmao

i like them both. I do kinda think 6wd is overkill. 4 might be too slow tho.

a shame that scv4 was never finished

jupiter's cool. any havok while spinning?

Pwnator · « **Reply #1326 on:** September 09, 2016, 02:15:20 PM »

Jupiter's actually pretty stable. The closest you could get it to Havok is if you knock off a motor.

also why you gotta ruin my moment with a better hammer man

I was disappointed that all of the MW hammers in ReStocked were double-wedged, and I was already done with the chassis before Geice showcased A COOLER AND MUCH BETTER BOT GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Turns out it would've barely been an upgrade to the current Mud Runner. It can't turn, it would spazz out on heavy contact, and fires too slowly. Might have to resort to a completely static setup as both Bushido and Iceberg were pretty tiny.

Why are you using Fireman axes exactly?
As for the turning, the falling over problem can be fixed by having some 150cm extenders on the back, possibly in a V like shape. Still looks nice and I love the Jupiter drive setup.

Because Mud Runner. Would've used the wheels as well if I could find the weight and the proper motor height for it.

Also, stability isn't the problem. It literally can't turn. You would occasionally encounter this problem on tiny HSes, where the solution is usually a complete rebuild. I'll try to find another setup that isn't unstable, most likely static.

rofl i didnt know what i expected

398.2, plastic. As a consequence of forcing a fully static setup, the extender work is appalling. But the reason it's terrible is just a combination of slow turning, slow weapon swing, tiny area of impact, and no recovery after being flipped.

and i still can't find the right setup for mud tires >:X

took another crack at the t400 rebuild

I think this type of bot is meant to have a large chassis. But I'm too lazy to rethink the whole thing so I just went on with this tiny T-chassis.

Weapons are slightly angled and it has worked out quite well for de-wheeling and stuff. Wedge is still kinda terrible, and steering's a bit twitchy, so there's still tons of room for improvement.

Also, I had space left on the chassis so I tacked on 2 razors. No idea what I could do with ~35 kg assuming I went with a simple long wedge instead of a T-chassis. Maybe 2 plows coming out from the middle?

Fracture · « **Reply #1331 on:** May 30, 2017, 06:05:25 PM »

I personally really like the T-chassis and how it fits the name, so if that's a given then it might be better to stick with a static setup at least for the drive, which might also help the wedge and steering. I'm thinking it would also be more stable if the weapon motors are slightly in front of the drive so it consistently leans forward?

Dreamcast · « **Reply #1332 on:** May 30, 2017, 06:08:42 PM »

I've always thought these designs could use a lowercase n/uppercase U shaped chassis.

090901 · « **Reply #1333 on:** May 30, 2017, 06:17:00 PM »

i would say make the chassis wider in the front with the extra kgs
basically like this crude ms paint drawing:

> tfw the motivation to build returns just after being employed

Speaking of rebuilds, some bots in ReStocked would love to have the 140cm update. I'm not quite sure if any other of my bots in the pack needed an update, but only Raptor came to mind.

Rule of 7 really restricted the advantage it could get from 140 cms, so I just upgraded the hammer ballast and axe rack.

For setup and comparison - it used to look like this:

Also I think Geice already made a decent T-400 rebuild so I guess I'll try out Acrid soon.

Naryar · « **Reply #1335 on:** June 02, 2017, 03:18:44 PM »

i think it looked better beforehand, personally.

But yeah, the icepicks are more useful now. Does the counterweight work well/is worth 30kg ?

Pwnator · « **Reply #1336 on:** June 04, 2017, 07:16:05 AM »

i am an idiot because i have almost forgotten how torque works

So yeah, embarrassing mistake aside, I turned around the drive for Halftone so it could be a nice Scrubber replacement:

And I'm not sure if Scrap sent his Bucket of Nails rebuild to Starcore or not, but the radial asymmetry of the original and the rebuild irritates me. So I made this:

With a lot of weight left, I figured I could downgrade to plastic and Z-Teks then go all irons:

Unfortunately, I am off by 0.5 kg. I'm still looking for the proper off-center anchor stack so everything's all symmetric (and 1 kg lighter) but that's gonna take a while.

Naryar · « **Reply #1337 on:** June 04, 2017, 08:24:55 AM »

I was thinking Bucket of Nails was supposed to be asymmetric ? After all, there's no symmetry in a bucket of nails.

It still looks cool, and not messy for a design like that.

Fracture · « **Reply #1338 on:** June 04, 2017, 08:42:05 AM »

Not sure what your current plan is to save the 1 kg (replacing the T with round extenders?), but you might be able to use 2 anchors and get rid of the T that way

Pwnator · « **Reply #1339 on:** June 04, 2017, 08:52:57 AM »

My chassis isn't tall enough for the anchor to be placed above the RAD, and I don't think it's possible for an anchor to be marginally stacked into the black and halfway stacked into the RAD.

But yeah, the plan is to use 2 20 cms instead of a T, but so far I can't find the right spot to stack the anchor in.
