Nice looking bots indeed. =)

Cool, it's like the same bot, but one's a VS and one's an HS.

I like the VS the most. It would be great if you could angle the plows in a V shape to trap spinners, like Ordo Malleus in BBEANS.

By the way. How you made the wheels bank like that on the Dialect? They are bit banked, aren't they?

Weedy, there just rotated, its simple really

Was bored this morning and thought i'd clone blue moon in a n00bish way! and seriously, that thing gets some HUGE hits

I did the same thing to see how my bot would fare against it. Mine definitley didn't do that much damage though.

That's not exactly a Blue Moon clone. Blue Moon has a downward-facing bar with no ground contact so it can easily hit bots that are under it. Disturbance is more like TuniT 3 with external wheels. And fortunately not legal in BBEANS

Why don't you give it bigger wheels so it can be invertible? Techno wheels are good, but so are a lot of other big wheels.

And Jules, it's only getting 10000+ damage hits because it's hitting another powerful spinner. It would be a lot lower if it hit a regular target.

Kudos CB, first person to notice that! yeh i did realise but i thought that a 15000 hit was pretty cool in its own right

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2007, 04:36:04 AM »

I noticed that but wasn't so sure was it really hitting the spinner or not. I also noticed it but I just didn't meantion about it.

Wow, nice! I really like the first four. :) Onix II is my favorate.

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2007, 11:07:35 AM »

I like them all. What else I need to say? :D

Two New Bots!

1 - ICC - My attempt at a starcore stylee DSL bot

2 - Kimya - built it today, i really like it, went schizo with the armour, which is alsways good, it took about 20mins to find a shrimech that worked though, damn things just go through the floor half the time

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #14 on:** February 09, 2007, 08:13:33 PM »

So how effective is ICC? Bots with single spinners are, in theory, better than bots with tons of small spinners, but I wonder if that's true in practice.

Kimya looks like a certain other bot whose name rhymes with bee-yeast. I'd try getting rid of the srimech and making it invertible though.

Some BAttle shots of the last two bots and my newest FBS killer

ICC only lost 1 tribar, which is unusual

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #16 on:** February 10, 2007, 06:20:17 AM »

Nice bots indeed. I have few bots too and I should post them here but I just haven't.

Also I have ran out of GOOD ideas ages ago. But seems you haven't and those look nice. :D And original.

Barbie · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2007, 06:36:01 PM »

Aha, New Boot, this is an upgrade of one of my older FBS's, its a servo mounted FBS, three versions (narrowed down) they all perform well, but i dont know which to include for my pack

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #18 on:** March 17, 2007, 05:16:01 PM »

MK1 looks the best. A dual perm on a servo is just madness.

Jet-speed · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2007, 01:11:02 PM »

I agree with clickbeetle, thats a great collection of bots you have there. just one question though, does MK1 have problems hitting its opponents because it doesn't look like the hammers have a very good reach.So for weapons i think i'll recommend MKllll :D .
