Hm. Good idea (what a fool I am XD)
Everyone viewing this, just imagine the halfsheets flipped round (the 2 joining at the front rather than the back).

Use 4 kg hex plates rather than flippermakers.

I think it's really cool. Does it have 4 or 8 ants? It's hard to see from the picture. I also like the styling with the panic attack skirt.

4 ants, need no more :)

Wow I thought that would be underpowered, but you proved me wrong.

Naryar · « **Reply #385 on:** October 30, 2010, 04:25:44 PM »

4 ants is OK on such a design. 8 is overkill.

all motors are capped thanks to the .exe so they only need 1 ant each minimum

I'll just leave this thing here... o.o

Naryar · « **Reply #388 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:25:24 AM »

*Not even looking at the bot*

Bet it's a VS ?

EDIT: Winnar. Oh well.

I do believe your extender work can be made better.

cephalopod · « **Reply #389 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:26:45 AM »

No sledgehammers though... yeah, you heard right o.o

EDIT: Meh, the messy bit of extender work is just motor protection. And the day I showcase something un-VS is an odd day...

NFX · « **Reply #390 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:44:48 AM »

Looks interesting. But I agree with Nar, the extenders holding the motor could be cleaned up a bit.

cephalopod · « **Reply #391 on:** February 05, 2011, 01:03:33 PM »

Hm. No longer angled like the last one, but seems a little tidier and protected, even if the armour has been downgraded.

Steel 3 isn't that good. I would put on Tite 3 and better wheels.

Scorpion · « **Reply #393 on:** February 05, 2011, 02:00:51 PM »

What's it like with being flipped over and for drive defense?

cephalopod · « **Reply #394 on:** February 05, 2011, 02:05:39 PM »

Believe it or not, somehow, it runs inverted. Obviously not as combat effective as the disc is slowed, but you get the idea. Will change the wheels and armour, and I reckon it'll be all good.

EDIT: because the chassis is so small, changing the armour gives a grand 2kg extra... not very useful. Shall keep it as it is, unless anyone has any other ideas.

Only 1 thing has sparked my interest in RA2 for a long while. Thanks Yoda :P

Little prototype... Would probably skin better and do the top neater for the final version.

The bottom disc is mounted on a double perm. which is inside the chassis.
Wheels pop outta the bottom of the disc thanks to bursts, and theres a necessary robot x caster on a skirt hinge too. >.<
