The ant ~~sawblades~~failblades and spike strips aren't doing much.

Let's see some insides!

Naryar · « **Reply #3 on:** March 04, 2010, 06:18:06 AM »

Yes, it will definitely be helpful.

Don't use angle extenders, the side ant blades are useless, JX bursts are kinda overkill for one spiked club, unrealistic if hammers pass thru each other. Nice custom skin and use of multi-extenders though, stuff most newbies lack.

No, they're pretty good.

Frenzy hammers... The only bot Ibuilt with Frenzy hammers failed, but it was a SnS so i don't know really.

I think they can be put to good use though.

And yes, you really don't need more than BSG bursts for this,as well as front armor(or even weapons)

Frenzy Hammers are pretty bad.

The collision mesh makes it deal a lot less damage than a 330dp non normal weapon should.

don't use angle conectors, and I don't know if piglets have enough power for dis guy

also, that thing will get tiped onto it's blades alot. I like your creativity though (RFS will love this guy)

Sparkey is right.

Bot: The bot seems big. Try to shrink it. You will get more weight and you can then use heavier weapons.
Armor: I am not sure what you are using but try to stay away from steel. It is overkill. (I think not sure though)
Drive: Lighter wheels and try the NPC motors for your drive. The bot will go faster and have more pushing power.
Weapon: try using the DSL bar and sticking weapons on it. Also I am not sure how affective 1 razor on a piston is.
Try to make one good weapon system instead of two mediocer weapon systems.(Something most real bot builders do)
Weapon motor:try using a magmotor weapon version. (not sure of exact name) instead of piglets.

If my advice is wrong please correct me.

Well, S3 Wheels aren't a great choice, the back defense and piston are useless. As Sparkey said, anglers are bad, use a different weapon, DSL Blades at the very least. Upgrade the weapon motors.. Half-Sheets are bad armour and you can downgrade the extenders.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #14 on:** March 08, 2010, 04:08:44 PM »

You get points for realism. With a nice skin that bot could easily pass for a replica of a real-life bot.

Couple of tips though... Study up on the DSL bars and Flipper Segments. Notice how those items have some pretty useful attachment points. They are more durable than the extenders you are using. It took me a while to get used to using flipper segment pieces on my bots, but now that I am fond of them... my builds are more durable.

I think the piglets are terribly underpowered for this style of bot. You will notice that they wont lift much when a blow is landed, especially on a HW bot.

yeah i know what i'm talking about

oh, and I don't see WHY you'd want to use S3s, they look hideous

can I get a battle shot?

bloodwyrm · « **Reply #16 on:** March 08, 2010, 04:33:51 PM »

Yep no prob heres a battle shot

Badnik96 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 08, 2010, 04:39:10 PM »

I think he means versus another bot, maybe Rabid Grisly Bear.

bloodwyrm · « **Reply #18 on:** March 08, 2010, 04:46:27 PM »

yeah i see how all you guys said the weapon motors would suck blade stoppage to the max re tuning now

Heheh, 'tis cool. We all learn as we go along. Just remember to have fun playing the game while digesting feedback from everyone (you don't always have to take the feedback seriously though). Oh, and check out other showcases for ideas. Keep building and have fun!
