Looks nice. You can't replicate Roadbloack's chassis exactly, but you can at least slope the back slightly to give the suggestion of roundness. That would make it look a bit more accurate.

Doesn't the real Barberous have support poles sticking out in the front and back to stabilize it? Might help with fighting capability. Otherwise it looks great.

Click, I think if you shrunk down that Wheel ball from Frosty the Snowbot, it'll help to make a nice Psychosprout replica.

Barberous 1 had both support poles sticking out the back, and as such you couldn't see them in the photo I took. I did include them, though. Here's a photo of the back.

At any rate, here's some new replicas

Here's King B Powerworks, a robot with some lifting prongs. I used a superflat chassis. New video on my channel featuring this robot, check it out.

Bamm Bamm, a robot that's based off that Flintstones character. It's got a hammer on a rotating turret (I replicated that too)

Toe Crusher:

It drives like the real thing.

What bot is that a replica of?

Do you really have to ask?

Suzaku · « **Reply #188 on:** December 16, 2008, 05:55:10 PM »

Didn't recognize it since it's from the antweight series, but shouldn't the tires be inside the chassis?

System32 · « **Reply #189 on:** December 16, 2008, 05:56:41 PM »

It was the first bot I ever built.

Toe Crusher looks good, but I think it would be better with N-12s.

At last! Done with the semester's finals! I've been spending most of my time studying, but now I'm back with replicas:

Bash Gordon, a yellow robot with an axe. The original was a hybrid axe/flipper design; it could flip robots at the back and axe bots at the front. I can't replicate that design due to the limiting range of burst motors, but at least it's a decent axe. Here's of it; that was the only footage I could find, and I couldn't snap a decent still frame.

Orac's Revenge, another axe robot. It's got a cool hexagon pattern covering most of the chassis. It also has some spikes in front. I was frustrated with the fact that I couldn't get the chassis to bend into quite the right shape, so I devoted all my effort to the artwork on this one.

Oh, and I also have a new video.

Orac's Revenge's skin is simply...amazing

btw Naryar I found a bot with a name that might sound familiar:

Yes, I know, Infernal Contraption - i've lurked long on Youtube's RA2 vids.

But this bot is crap.

Somebody · « **Reply #195 on:** December 20, 2008, 08:35:23 AM »

I never said it was good. Which it isn't. Poor Behemoth.

Edit: don't you mean Robot Wars vids?

System32 · « **Reply #196 on:** December 20, 2008, 07:32:12 PM »

looked like a version of S3. and dont doubt it now, look at Razer when it started. It broke down in it's first match.

Only one replica today, but I think it merits a solo appearance.

(Image removed from quote.)

Possibly the weirdest design I've ever done, it's Psychosprout. This robot was a ball with an R/C truck inside. Sadly, this robot failed the gauntlet, so we never got to see it battle another robot. (Although you can probably guess how that fight would've gone.) I've mounted it on the smallest body allowed, and I like let the ball break off and have other robots kick it around.

FAILED IN THE TRAIL
