Title: Your robots' genre?
Post by: Mr. Weedy on October 04, 2005, 01:34:11 PM

Yep the topic's name and the poll tells everything.

I choosed 6. for main genre and 5. to subgenre for main genre.

I am always trying to invent something new and lines breaking robots for example look at my Walker, it really walks and look at my speed demon, it doesn't need any moving weapons to make good damages.

And of course I'm trying to invent robots so that they hit like a heck and do as much damage at one hit as possible.

I always try something new, sometime it end up being very powerful on one of the following.

for example... on firebeetle's pack, I used 4 fridge motors and 4 Barrels of Nuclear waste as its wheels... the result is insane.

Lately I like to build my bots with a very effective design. It doesn't have to be super powerful, but made so it can get in there and quickly and easily defeat the opponent.
Of course that doesn't mean I don't like firepower, I try to fit as much damage into those designs as possible.

Destructive force and speed. Namely spinners.

I voted 6, cause I love making robots that NOONE has made. Such as my triple-counter rotation helicopter and rock crawler

I like to mix and match styles.  There is so much trail and error tho.

Effectiveness, control, speed and of course, original design.

Lately, I've been playing with various drivetrain and suspension designs, not all of them work. my rock crawler would always glitch and havok would place the wheels/axles at wierd places(away from the motor body), and my Lowrider always gets stuck low, I cant lift it back up. Stupid weak linear acuators, o well, one of these days I'll figure it out. and before them, i was playing with powered steering units, tandem rear axles and dedicated brakes. Yes, I wired brakes into my 4WD/6WD/8WD robots to hold them still. They have no holding power, tho...

Lately I've been trying out different strengths and weaknesses.
But I mostly go for something new and different.
When that fails, power and strength take second.
