Also, which robot are the best HWs in NAR AI 1.1? And which bot has the best wedges? I have beaten all the BBEANS champions team with this bot, and arn't they supposed yo be the best team? Should I get NAR 2.0? Am I getting ahead of myself?

So may questions, so little time.

123AI will be released sometime this week, hopefully within the next 1 or 2 days.  If you are looking for bots that aren't pushovers, you will find them there.

IDK, your bots seem a little tough for me, STW.

So, what is the best bot and the best wedge in NAR AI 1.1? Maybe Naryar can tell?

New bot; BoSaS, my first bot capable of an OHKO. I have OHKO'd Shebeast and Shockwave so far.

These are NPC fast Right and lefts. Techno wheels leave too much of a large ground clearance.

That many Razors is way too much for those BSG's to handle. Get more BSG's, or swap to Jx's or (Dare I say it) break boundaries and use betas?

Hmmm.

You want four wheels and the setup I have, albeit with a Heavy Plow instead of Titanium Sheet I've got on the hinge there. Also you don't need so many weapons, 4 per BSG is a good choice. Looks underpowered too. O wait  last pic.
Still, it is more weight efficient to have 4 battlepacks rather than those ants you've got for the BSGs.

Just lower the weapon count, it'll actually do more damage! JX's are too large and waste chassis weight unless you mount the outside your chassis and even then 4 BSG's have more damage potential.

They seem to cope fine, though.

Thanks, but I'd rather make my own bot than copy yours, although it does look better. And less weapons = No OHKOs. I have nothing else to spend the weight on.

Raise the NPCs up to put technos on. It'll be worth it.

Betas don't have a high enough initial speed (or something) which makes them ineffective on popups. Or so I've read.

Madman, telling him to basically klone your bot isn't going to help him as much in the long run.
Now, I would none the less switch to technos anyway, it shouldn't effect the wedges too badly, and it'll be the best and easiest way for you to pull off YOUR setup there (i.e, 2 wheel drive).
Yes, you should probably only have about max 5 razorz on a single BSG, but don't switch to JX's, they suck really in comparison to BSG's, you could fit another BSG on there aswell actually with a bit of tweaking. The thing is, you have to get the balance between the amount of weapons, and the speed the weapons will hit at (obviously, putting more weight on a snpper slows it down somewhat and causes it to deal less damage).
If you want to try and improve the wedges more, try attatching the wedge component on to the end of another kind of extender such as a dsl bar.
Also, the power seems fine to me.

Soz, only meant for the basic weapon setup. With technos he could have better armor while retaining the weapons.

Get some more exterior armor then. Wedges should be good. Also a pic please.

Controversial. Skirts can be as wedgy as a small wedge component, but steel ones have 7 1/3 times more HP that the wedge. :P

I use half-sheets + small wedges, so the wedges still work once the end component falls off.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

That's why you use exterior armour to protect the wedges better :P
Besides, assuming he doesn't **** around with the weight distribution too much, wedges like that should be more effective.

Besides, he could always just make un-wedged bots 'ey  ;)

He? I have a username you know.  ;)

Yeah, I thought that, I may change it.

This has more truth than many would like to admit.  One thing is for certain though, angle skirts are much better at flanking than small wedge.

I am beginning to phase out small wedge in favor of angle skirts myself.

Sorry for the drought. Should I continue to upload bots? Should I try a different bot type? And what is the best wedge/bot in NAR 1.1?
