My "artillery" bot for 2vs2 langames :D

he hits in very long range and sends enemys to

usually, with a nice driving is good, but is bad cause they pull me out >_<

all are burst piston , 2 balance shards for armor (i read that they are invulnerable) and a balance multi angle with 2 motor , a total 6 pidgeon gives that a decent movility ^^

Piglets don't make good drive.

Apart from what those guys are saying...
Why are the hammers spinning? That won't help the damage much.
Secondly, free space. This will end up getting drilled into your head, does to everyone, but try and make your chassis around what components your gonna use. Open space wastes a lot of weight.

But otherwise, these are alright bots. Good to use someone using the Etek drive without prompting (first bot) as well

That's fairly good for a beginner, you aren't making some of the more stupid mistakes a lot of people do. However, you will want a flatter chassis and more compact component placement, to reduce empty space.

cephalopod · « **Reply #9 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:35:04 AM »

Also, Piglets are terrible for drive, and not all so great for weapons of a HW either.

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:49:48 AM »

To be honest, the first sucks, the second too but the third is very interesting.

I'm going to clone that.

Naryar · « **Reply #11 on:** June 25, 2009, 11:53:00 AM »

Fairly good? I say this is totally average for a newbie. Piglets for drive again, classic eteks for drive, unrealistic, underpowered...

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #12 on:** June 25, 2009, 12:23:21 PM »

?

Anyway, on a more serious note:
- If that is a heavyweight, saws SUCK.
- EMPTY SPACE, it WASTES WEIGHT, IS NOT COOL, and makes your bot a BIGGER TARGET.
- Badly underpowered.
- You probably wasted all that weight for 10 mm steel, when it could be used for external defenses and better weapons.
- Piglets SUCK. Used for drive motors or not.
- If you use e-teks for drive, use the ones labeled with DRIVE on them. They are called DRIVE motors for a reason!!!
- Moar wedge pls

Eh, I wouldn't go that far...

Wrong and wrong. Saws are devastating on a HW if used right, and piglets are fine for subweight classes.

GameKing3 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 25, 2009, 01:03:17 PM »

You have a whole lot of free space which im sure someone has already told you. On the hammer spinner there is way to many connectors used keep it simple. You just gotta think more practical and reduce the space.

For example:

trumpetguy · « **Reply #17 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:00:14 PM »

I think the first one was an attempt to use the chicken glitch with a SnS.

wrong, see entrapment :-D

arkaaa · « **Reply #19 on:** June 29, 2009, 09:42:52 PM »

All right, after few days mounting some bots i think i have found a REALLY DESTRUCTIVE combo.

I will post it soon :D

EDiting:

I starting doing this in cheat model so i used claws to get a "trap" effect, i did reversible with a cheap modification. I will study this days repeating this with a more compated chasis, more battery(for full drain) and other fixes.

A good idea and a bad bot i think, maybe some botters can give me some opinions about this model.

thanks!

PD:Two attack, repulsive (all going out) or trap effect (all getting in) i found it useful , i think i will get two more attack buttons for the two motors to get in 4 button all the posible combination.
