Seems a little messy but still pretty cool.

what are you on about, that's incredibly clean for an IRL bot.

Nice work.

love it/you

Love the design, shame the skin was messed up. If it's on an axle mount does it get any kind of agod issues?

cephalopod · « **Reply #904 on:** February 23, 2015, 11:36:36 AM »

Oh look it's the VS Marty thought the above one was.

Very similar to the early prototypes of the above bot except the lack of disc movement - it's all static.

EDIT:

Yes. :P Needs to be pause-loaded into botlab/matches.
Also thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback :)

Eyes improve all designs.

cephalopod · « **Reply #906 on:** March 10, 2015, 11:58:05 AM »

Borrowed some ideas.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #907 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:00:05 PM »

Ha! Love it. The front wheels being the eyes might be the best part.

RammingSpeed · « **Reply #908 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:23:01 PM »

Do all of your bots have eyes? Nice work, btw.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #909 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:33:57 PM »

Eyes are sort of Craaig's trademark, yeah :V

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #910 on:** March 10, 2015, 01:17:31 PM »

all those bots with eyes, i better keep an eye on that showcase....

this aside, can this even drive straight at all ?

Actually no :P but I do like putting eyes on stuff, gives it more of a personality. The only recent IRL stuff I haven't is Anaesthetist and Vibetech. Never really eye my standard stuff.

Yes :)

That's just awesome looking. Kinda bothersome since the wheels don't look like omni wheels though. Also, why use flamethrowers? I just don't get it.

Blame DSL not me :P I'd use some if we had some but meh.

Why not use flamethrowers when 1) you have piles of weight left over and 2) flames look so cool when things are spinning :P

I could make it an MW if I massively tuned down the armour, got rid of the decorative teeth and flamer and probably either downsized the hammer or decreased the drive but hey, it was just made as an experiment, and I'd say it worked.
Thanks everyone for the feedback, much appreciated :)

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #914 on:** March 12, 2015, 03:54:49 AM »

I agree with RedAce there, would look better without flamethrower. More armor maybe?

cephalopod · « **Reply #915 on:** March 12, 2015, 04:49:08 AM »

Already got like steel 5. I mean come on do you really think I set out to make a CW? :P it just wouldn't fit into MW so I piled a load of other stuff onto it and made it probably the worst weight class invented. :')

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #916 on:** March 12, 2015, 04:54:24 AM »

I don't understand why people would dislike CW because it's clearly perfect filling for overweight middleweights and underweight heavyweights.

cephalopod · « **Reply #917 on:** March 12, 2015, 05:32:42 AM »

Honestly I don't think it's massively a good thing to have a reason to build overweight MWs or underweight HWs. Could just be me.

Thyrus · « **Reply #918 on:** March 12, 2015, 05:38:23 AM »

Craaig! We need to fight in BBX... Eye for an eye!

I love that sns thingy :3

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #919 on:** March 12, 2015, 05:39:07 AM »

Might be just you, I don't know. CW is probably the best for IRL-building since you can make decent-sized chassis with enough armor. Sometimes I have trouble using the weight on heavyweights for example.
