Cool Reps Badnik. Was Whirligig bulit by the same creator of Towering Inferno because they look almost the same.

They don't look at all alike IMO. Whirligig was built by the builder of nightmare.
You can find the 3.0 version in Replica Wars 2 (my rep that did not well at all) and the original was in a smaller box sans weapon.
The one that Purse flipped out of the arena?

The Motors fit but not the wheels.

Then waste weight and use axles for 2WD. Or just 6WD copal drive, as awful as this is.

And use ant batts !

Or if you'd like, just ask me and I'll help you make a rolling chassis.

Maybe a couple of ants, and use axles to make up the numbers. 2WD NPC Fasts in the middle, 4 DSL Axle Mounts to give it 6 wheels, and I'd suggest rubbers for the wheels.

Does this?





Stats:
Armor: 3mm Plastic
Motors: 6x Slimbodies on 6x Rubber Wheels; 1 Storm Piston for Weapon
Weapon: 1x 70cm Pole Spike
Power: 6x Ant Batteries and 1x Large Puma

I know it's got some things that still need to be worked out (the graphics have always lacked for me; I'm not terribly creative), but it's a lot closer to being a finished product.

Coolrunner's was better, but it still needs some improvement.

- Move the motors back.

- Try to skin it.

But that's it. Do that, and send it to me and SKBT.

And unless Ben waits his bot to have a 95% chance of flying OOTA on the initial charge, he'll slow his bot down.

Cool, try moving the motors further apart horizontally, move them so the wheels are right up against the edges of the bot.

Here is my entry for RW3:

Hopefully i should be able to do better, as this bots a spinner (one of which beat me in RW2) :P
Damn I should probably put something fancy in this bit huh?

That looks really good, Wham! Judging by the amount of spinners entering, I'll need a fairly wide and strong flipper to counter them   :D
