OK, that's cool.

Looks pretty cool. Love the "wings".

Not sure about effective, but it sure as

looks cool.

Not effective at all, scoops suck against wedges 'n' jazz. Also, if you spin on the spot it gets unstable. But firing the axe doesn't make it lift up much, so there's that.

New robot!

unrealistic, the dsl bar/hammers cut though the motor

If it's IRL, you may want to improve your skin.

If it's IRL, you might want to think about the MOE Motor. It's much longer than the Perm EL, so that'll allow you to avoid the unrealisticness.

I think I wish this was IRL but in the end was just kinda cool. It's not even as effective as Vengence, which makes me sad.

Naryar · « **Reply #29 on:** April 08, 2012, 05:28:13 AM »

it's not IRL since it's unrealistic.

Still looks cool though.

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #30 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:02:26 PM »

Let's try a new one!

powerrave · « **Reply #31 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:05:59 PM »

Looks cool and I surely like the idea behind it.

NFX · « **Reply #32 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:16:24 PM »

Definitely looks cool. I'd try and perhaps get a few more weapons on the top part, is that a hammer or a Srimech?

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #33 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:22:04 PM »

neither, I can't seem to fit a burst in the small space >>

powerrave · « **Reply #34 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:24:51 PM »

Kinda too bad. It won't be happy when it's flipped. Can't be helped I guess.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 08, 2012, 09:04:35 PM »

That is awesome. Shame it's not invertible.

Thyrus · « **Reply #36 on:** April 09, 2012, 04:52:53 AM »

very nice!
your wings may gave me some ideas

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #37 on:** April 18, 2012, 01:53:19 PM »

Probably the last revision I'll make on this one for a while. Not the last flipper you'll see though

Forgot to put it on the splash, but has Titanium 3 I think.

NFX · « **Reply #38 on:** April 18, 2012, 01:58:22 PM »

Looks decent. What I would do is remove the rear assembly, that's eating up a huge chink of weight that could either be used for batteries (flippers like this need as much battery power as you can get), or some more drive, it looks quite slow at the moment. And try to get metal hinge wedges as opposed to skirt hinges, they're generally stronger for getting under your opponents. And don't overlap the flippers like that. It compromises the wedginess of them, and it makes it easier for you to be flanked, like what happened in RIW3.

I've been watching a lot of old Robot Wars (Seasons 1 to 4), so I tried even harder to keep to an IRL standard.

Henry: Judge burst powered flipper strong enough to lift even a heavyweight! It likes to push and it likes to zip around the arena. Strength is its massive flipper, weaknesses are an uncontrollability and a tendency to flip itself over, leaving it vulnerable. Let's hope it's better than the vacuum cleaner!

Ramp Trap: Taking cues from Mousetrap this robot is long with skirts to upend it's opponent from all angles. A terrifying lifting spinning blade will chew up opponents, and doubles as a Schrimech! Don't get trapped, or it's curtains!

Scorpion: Scorpion by name, Scorpion by nature! It may not be the fastest in it's weightclass but with a clinging, tangling front and a dangerous 'spike' tail will leave you feeling the pinch. Can also self-right, but is slow to do so.
