Looks good, but for that weapon setup, you only need a Tornado Mer.

And where is the fun of having a piddly tornado mer when you can have a chunky six mag to swat things away with?

My thoughts exactly. All I could really do is upgrade other bits. But I wanted maximum power, hence the original had dual perms with 120 bars and 30kg hammers :D

Awesome bot....how about changing the dsl bar to aluminium extenders?

cephalopod · « **Reply #444 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:12:19 PM »

Lol, thanks whoever changed my DSL showcase name ;D

In other news, thought I'd have a play with something BB2 legal

Only thing not legal is there's no sponsor yet (':
Thought it looked cool, so, youknow XD

Ooh, that's very interesting. Does it tilt forwards at all?

I would love that even more if the weapon was adjustable, if it went up and down, forwards, et cetera. I want to make something like that in Rhino now.

cephalopod · « **Reply #446 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:21:20 PM »

It did tilt, hence why I added the little 20-40 bar on the front to stabilize it. I really wanted to make it adjustable, but with weight constraints and the fact all the extender work would have to move, it seems a little difficult. Might try it out though, could be fun :D

You do know that BB2 is middleweight right?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #448 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:27:43 PM »

I'd flip the tracks. See how it looks.

You have read the rules, right? ;D

- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.

MassimoV · « **Reply #450 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:30:40 PM »

Ah, I see. In anycase it looks really cool.

cephalopod · « **Reply #451 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:31:42 PM »

Thanks (:

Also, thanks S_M, that suggestion made it look even better - the track shape now fits the back bodywork perfectly.

It`s funny how everyone is building those IRL designs lately

nice bot!

cephalopod · « **Reply #453 on:** July 18, 2011, 12:33:36 PM »

Ah, I've liked IRL designs for a long while, just had trouble building them. Thanks though :D

cephalopod · « **Reply #454 on:** July 30, 2011, 05:57:55 AM »

Just prototyping hovercrafts. The effectiveness of these kinda IRL hovercrafts means I won't be entering anything like it... but it looks awesome, even if underweight. Could've changed the armour to bring that up though :L

For nothing but nostalgia's sake. And people have asked me about it several times.

Whoa.

And please don't overshadow mah showcase

MassimoV · « **Reply #457 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:26:35 PM »

Ahhh Shinigami. If I ever get a dog I'm naming him that. Cool bot anyways.

Vertigo · « **Reply #458 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:42:43 PM »

Unrealistic

The wheel cuts through the bar, and the other end beyond the wheel is attached in a way impossible IRL

cephalopod · « **Reply #459 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:46:07 PM »

Oh you.

I thought it looked cool, but youknow :) that bar isn't even necessary, and I used those wheels purposely 'cos it looked cool. It's a Nostalgia bot, as I pointed out.

But whatever floats your boat. If a tiny little bar is worse than all the millions of obviously-realistic flail weapons and popups, then off with my head
