Funky concept for VS drive.

Now I'm off to work on Spin-Motor-Pokers.

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

you should totally make a MW Shinigami for BoF [/shamelessplug]

It looks far too weak to being flanked ;P

Your mom looks too weak to being flanked.

Yes, and like my mum, it needs to be longer ;P

This has gone in a direction I didn't wish it to go in...

In other (related) news, Shini2 is real big... *cough* ;p

CONCEPTBOOOOMB

Any ideas/opinions on these HW Hoverbot designs?

(VS3 is very hard to picture, apologies)

NFX · « **Reply #469 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:31:51 PM »

I should have guessed you'd build a VS of some sort. =D

Copter looks like it could be done better, I don't know if the 250cm disc is a good idea or not. VS3 looks very nice, though, I can imagine it'd do very well. You don't get any of the gyroscopic effects you do with wheeled bots on hoverbots, do you?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #470 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:33:37 PM »

My Hover VS gyro-d really adly when turning and often knocked itself OOTA, that is the big problem.

cephalopod · « **Reply #471 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:35:33 PM »

Everything is always perfectly stable - a little recoil as always but it steadies itself very speedily. Had to adjust it a lot so the bar wouldn't keep hitting the ground, but now it can chew away at pretty much anything (including grounded bots). :D

And S_M, my first one (Lovingly named 'spacevs') did that a lot. Took me a few attempts. This one can turn all day long and keep going. in fact when it turns it dives just a little so it hits stuff on the ground better XD

And now for something completely different.

I know nothing about BW/Sub-light. You can tell.

You need much stronger motors on that. Astros and a TWM3R.

TeamXtreemer · « **Reply #474 on:** November 12, 2011, 07:31:41 AM »

Replace the polycarbs with carbon fibers, see what you can do drive motor wise.
Shrink the chassis.

Trying to get myself into building again. It's not working massively. I just ended up with these.

You could attach the disk straight to the flipper seg/DSL bar and put the motor on then, otherwise it looks very nice.

NFX · « **Reply #477 on:** November 12, 2011, 09:08:33 AM »

Then if the Disc goes, the motor goes. Plus the motor has around twice the HP of the disc. Personally, I'd use Tite sheets instead of DSL bars for stabilisers, that should free up some more weight to use.

cephalopod · « **Reply #478 on:** November 12, 2011, 09:14:59 AM »

Only issue I'd find with that is that steel skirts were always getting ripped off Fever/Fever3 etc and they have more HP than Tite. So I'm not sure where to go with it

NFX · « **Reply #479 on:** November 12, 2011, 09:39:46 AM »

You could use heavy plows, for the enormous Fracture value. That'd make them difficult to rip off.
