It is, it is, we'll see, maybe i'll make an exception.

I would accept that LW hammer as IRL as long as it doesn't gain a significant advantage when the hammer swings out of control.

SHW won't be legal because the wepons hit the floor when the match starts. Still looks crazy though.

What's the purpose of that rule anyway? I mean, I wouldn't call Craaig's SHW IRL, but you could definitely make an IRL bot with that design. I just don't see what it's meant to prevent.

It was originaly to prevent crawlers I think.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #703 on:** April 20, 2014, 09:19:42 PM »

...So you're not sure what it was originally made for?

Why not just make a "no crawlers or spikeballs" rule?

Max just copied Freeziez's BB rules when he took the series over IIRC.

Yeah, I've been kinda lenient on that kind of stuff. I took out the no fs rule recently but I guess I should update that point as well.

I wasn't really planning on entering it because it is silly and probably not IRL. I think there should be some leniency with bots that have weapons on/for wheels, I mean I added the beaters to try and help with traction, not to score points, and there have been a lot of bots with sawblade wheels.

Don't forget, Stinger-esque bots

I made Crasp Evo Jr a lot shorter and restyled it as Colossus. Most misleading name of the year. And yes my drums are still pink.

Something that isn't a generic box, nice.

Looks good, how's the weapon?

cephalopod · « **Reply #710 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:04:54 AM »

Pretty good, thanks for asking :P

Also, hi

Badnik96 · « **Reply #711 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:07:18 AM »

I'd try to get the wheels in the chassis, but other than that it looks fantastic.

Not happening without a full rebuild or drive motor downgrade. I don't think it's the worst thing ever as it is :P I'll skin a little hole in it or something.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #713 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:08:55 AM »

Yeah it's kind of trivial as it is.

cephalopod · « **Reply #714 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:25:54 AM »

Attempted to skin in some wheel things.

Shield · « **Reply #715 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:30:13 AM »

looks sweet. really like the spine thingy at the back of it

the wheel holes look kinda weird but it's nothing serious

cephalopod · « **Reply #716 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:31:18 AM »

Well do I keep the holes or remove the holes, people dislike it either way :P

Thyrus · « **Reply #717 on:** May 05, 2014, 08:36:31 AM »

I like em
