Don't like that the sponsors are obscured by the wheels.

Here's SnowJob, for the DSL3 temporary AI pack.

Weighs 773kg with Al3 armour. It's fully invertible and never gets out-pushed by anything. The saw hubcaps also cause a bit of damage, whilst the Heavy Plow takes it.

That looks awesome.

still just as useless as ever

^ Yeah, I'm saving the effectiveness for when I remake REVENGE, Raptor and Backyard Ripper.

That's actually pretty good, nice work.

Well, here's Raptor:

Really wanted to use the original chassis on this one. If nobody likes it, I'll rebuild it with a new chassis.

Far too underpowered....unless it's a geared one.

Other than that it's fine.

RedSawn · « **Reply #28 on:** April 07, 2013, 07:39:05 AM »

Looks like the geared one. The spring powered one has the light gray extender to attach to.
Good work!

Needs more reach imo

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 07, 2013, 08:24:37 AM »

Well, thanks guys.

BTW, new version of Revenge:

Took forever to find a weapon setup that didn't slice through the body completely or make the robot fly out of control. Ti5 armour.

martymidget · « **Reply #31 on:** April 07, 2013, 08:40:16 AM »

That's.....

erm...

not good at all really.

Why not just attach a perm directly to the anchor and have the weapon go over the body?

Naryar · « **Reply #32 on:** April 07, 2013, 08:53:15 AM »

You need more weapon weight, less butt-ugly, and more protection overall. It doesn't look at all like the original as well.

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 07, 2013, 09:05:05 AM »

Perm 132 variant with 30kg hammers:

If this fails I'm going to make one that looks more like the original, similar to M.O.E.

Naryar · « **Reply #34 on:** April 07, 2013, 09:22:21 AM »

Better technically,stilll nothing like the original.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 07, 2013, 09:36:15 AM »

You can't put everything inside the chassis?

AlexGRFan97 · « **Reply #36 on:** April 07, 2013, 11:04:52 AM »

Stuck here with what to use the extra weight for. I'm thinking of putting teeth on the disc as it can actually get under the stock opponents even when spinning at top speed but it might not fair well against DSL3 opponents.

Weighs 500 and something kg.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 07, 2013, 01:58:28 PM »

more weapons/drive

MassimoV · « **Reply #38 on:** April 07, 2013, 02:08:54 PM »

Wheelguards?

Now that the window for people making robots that are designed to combat/copy your designs is closed, I can now reveal my BB6 entrants:

LW: Sliced - After failing many designs, went with a generic thwackbot with a 45kg hammer on it. As long as it keeps its unprotected rear end away from opponents/hazards, has the potential to do well.
MW: Articulator - Competing with a drum setup and a scoop (not pictured). Should put up a decent fight and who knows, might take it all if it has the right draws.
HW: Diced - Originally wanted to make a HW version of VB's Taurus, but couldn't find the small flipper in DSL2. Once I found it, I had already built this Diesector lookalike. Gets under most robots but if it fails to do that, flips itself. Hammers are a little short. Might win its first fight and possibly its second, but I don't see it going far without in-arena experience.
