Point = Missed

I think it looks pretty good, personally. I'm not a fan of the motors being at that angle, though. Any way around that at all?

IMO, the disk is unnecessary. Perhaps that weight could be better used elsewhere.

I might try long axle astros to solve the angle.. might help a little >.<
As for the disk, I might swap it for a 20x40 DSL bar, which might work just as well, just with less HP

Got a fresh copy of DSL so I couldn't just edit old bots, and decided to make the whole team of those currently really popular VSes.

One Hit Wonder is called so cos if it doesn't go so well on the first hit.. well... high probability of breakages. It's not so great XD

On the LW wouldn't it be better with a 40cm skirt attaching the hammers?
Lookin' good though.

I'm sure it's possible to get Alum skirts on the MW, I managed it with Titanium1 armour...

I'm not sure if it's worth sacrificing the increased HP for a skirt on the LW, on the MW, maybe I could put Aluminium skirts on, but I'll have to sacrifice the long axles and DSL bar.. meh. I'll look into it.

Just built a cool looking IRL-style bot.

Not meant for efficiency by any means, but I just thought it looked cool.
Reminds me a little of Inquisitor from RW Series 2.
As weaponry goes, it has the flail club and the large blade (Yes, I know it's a Vlad spike.) which can be used a little like an axe, as the 'hat' can raise a little, then the blade can pop down as the burst retreats.

Looks quite pretty, you thyrus wannabe ;P
Underweight though

Thyrus · « **Reply #431 on:** May 18, 2011, 01:33:14 PM »

haha love it :D it looks like a frog :P

cephalopod · « **Reply #432 on:** May 18, 2011, 01:34:39 PM »

Hah, I've always wanted to be able to build Thyrus-esque bots. This was my first near-successful attempt (out of like 10 XD)

Thyrus · « **Reply #433 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:10:03 PM »

great that many people want to build like me :D
But I can`t really imagine how it works :o is there a chance of seeing a video? :>

cephalopod · « **Reply #434 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:16:20 PM »

It's really dull to be honest. To cut a long story short, it goes up and down.

I could, in theory, increase the power of the burst and make it into a flipper, which would look cool.

Thyrus · « **Reply #435 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:18:00 PM »

ahh I love it :D did I mention that it reminds me of a frog? :D

cephalopod · « **Reply #436 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:19:17 PM »

Yeah XD
I just wanted a good way to get the 'hat' on at the right angle... so I used a burst. Then I realized I could use it for weaponry XD

Badnik96 · « **Reply #437 on:** May 18, 2011, 03:19:11 PM »

looks cool

Just an unorthodox looking HS I cooked up with generally no thought or planning.
