CheatiHax 3000 is a good name for it :P

Eeexactly. :P At which point I'll have to probably switch to a different motor and sacrifice all the things power. XD

You asked for it.

Dropped the Fuel name. Fuel, to me, is synonymous to the DB motor and decent drive motors.
THERE IS A 20CM POLY SHEET ON THE EXTENDER. It's just hard to see.

hmm just a crazy thought.. what if you were to attach the drive like Sage's CC3 entry ? would make a cool look and greatly improve your turning

but would be a bit more exposed... still cool looking

cephalopod · « **Reply #326 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:10:32 AM »

Hm. May have a look and see what happens

NFX · « **Reply #327 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:40:53 AM »

Looks great. Especially now it's not as cheaty. =P

Wheels look quite close together, how easy is it to turn around?

cephalopod · « **Reply #328 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:03:02 PM »

Oddly very easy and well, but not so fast that it tips. Perfect, it could be said. :P

turn speed isnt so much the issue compared to turn circle

as this very crappy paint drawing depicts, the red circle is your turning circle

you can see how the will cause some problems with your skirts, under an AI situation it could get stuck against walls or become easily flanked

just something to think of

cephalopod · « **Reply #330 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:16:41 PM »

Hm. Much like Fever did in TA. Something to think about, it just means more weight getting the motors on extenders and over. But I may be able to cancel that out using different skirts...

JoeBlo · « **Reply #331 on:** July 16, 2010, 11:29:30 PM »

thats why I suggested my attachment method for a try.. using the largest skirts center AP...

cephalopod · « **Reply #332 on:** July 17, 2010, 02:11:05 PM »

Ah of course, what a melon xD ill try that when I get some time. At some party atm.

cephalopod · « **Reply #333 on:** July 22, 2010, 08:20:42 AM »

Okie Dokie. I've had a free day today (Hell, I've needed it.) and I dashed out a cubey prototype.

Wider wheelbase using the mid attachment point.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #334 on:** July 22, 2010, 08:57:15 AM »

Looks neat. Reminds me of a robot i made a week ago.

cephalopod · « **Reply #335 on:** July 22, 2010, 12:12:09 PM »

New bot. Fully remade. I like it. Yeah, today's been the first day I've had to rest in a long while.

G.K. · « **Reply #336 on:** July 22, 2010, 12:15:28 PM »

It's a beauty.

Thyrus · « **Reply #337 on:** July 22, 2010, 12:16:07 PM »

yeah, looks very good. have you tested it against the first Fever?

cephalopod · « **Reply #338 on:** July 22, 2010, 12:20:13 PM »

I haven't, no. Too lazy to AI anything. But I think its a lot better - only worse thing on it is the wheels, which doesnt matter. Looks cooler, better weapon, better armour.

cephalopod · « **Reply #339 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:47:04 AM »

Update timee.

First something a bit older, a follow up to the 'Juggernaut' series I had (and, like them, will always feature some kind of other weapon - in this case a solitary DS tooth :'))

And now something brand new, completely rebuilt Fever 2, smaller chassis and better protection around wheels and chassis.

EDIT: A few extra shots, those above didn't do it justice.
