Now, I think this bot is quite novel.
FlipHammer
Hammers, that flip around. Lol.
5mm Aluminium
And it has good space efficiency.
BUT it needs those wings to keep it stable.


Can't wait for the criticism over the weapon :P

I may well do that :P
Oh, and just for reference, I've taken an ant and a battlepack out and replaced the TD wheels with Overkill wheels, for easier self righting

Aah, but it's funny to watch :P
I have a more conventional VS that this was made from. I think I prefer that. I just thought I'd post that 'cos the weapon makes me smile :P
And smiling and happy stuff is what games are meant to do ^_^

Aand now for a double post, and a bump. Yay. Lol, well I made something new. The colour and name are rubbish, I don't want to unveil the real identity in case I decide to use it :P.

Also, would this be better as it is, or with a Large2 Disc and/or Vladiator Spikes/Robot X Swords?

Well here it is.

tbh, I dont have a clue. It must be up around 100 somewhere, since the ant do 10, the battlepacks do about 30 each... and i cant remember the orange. But i need a fair bit of power in there for the Dual Perm

107.5 amps.

Your weapon setup is okay but for a really efficient drive you should stick to 2WD with the stronger motors/grippier wheels you can find rather than 4WD.

Also try to avoid green control boards.

probably not enough amps, but it keeps all the motors going well for well over 3 minutes, lol

It seems to me that the bar goes trough the rear wheels, if it does, switch to smaller wheels so it doesnt.

Here's a nice new thing I made.
Demon's Escapade (a name that makes no sense.)


Can't remember the armour... wasn't too much. 5mm Plastic, I think.

BTW I put the huge wedge on there for the hitpoints in case of me entering it in MXC and getting stuck against SnSnSnS

Do you know that 2 ripping teeth are not enough on a MW HS ?

That will have to be changed then won't it :p. Maybe changing the wheels for tds might give me some weight allowance...

It's a HW, but that only makes your point stronger.

Use lighter wheels and add a wedge with the extra weight, and it's quite useless if the weapon reach is short.

30kg hammers are better then ripping teeth, but you could have so much better on a HW.

Thinking of the same setup, try get a dual Perm or 6 mag gearbox, and attach a long DSL bar with 2 60kg sledgehammers or 70kg hammers.

Maybe not the best, but it'd be better.
