why are you using 1 dsl bar for each spinner

Because... that's the way I've always done it? What would you suggest then, given the weight class?

Naryar · « **Reply #681 on:** March 23, 2014, 09:36:21 AM »

1 bar in the middle, save 25kg or such

sure it makes it a bit more fragile but then again it's gonna spikeball all around the arena 10sec after the start of a match

Oh, I see what you mean, I thought you meant on the perms. I'll try that out, and yeah, I don't think it'll make much difference to how fragile it is. And I could do with the extra weight.

It worked - upgraded the skirt supports to Tite and the drive to Fasts with Vlads.

Was just playing around on a recent DSL copy and found this. Can't remember making it.
Not particularly noteworthy, just a fair example of one of my LW VS. Pretty sure I shaved some weight off somewhere though, because of that armour, which is probably overkill.
Apologies for the pink hammers, it's from that old axolotl thing.

Why do those hammers remind me of bubblegum?
Anyway, I think there is a robot identical to that one in NAR AI.

Probably, he made a whole team of those for NAR AI.

Definitely not identical, but similar. I should know, I made the thing - Mikado II on the Ninja-y team, right?

You also had an entire team on NAR AI right? Didn't you have one of your Blood Orange bots on that team?

cephalopod · « **Reply #687 on:** March 23, 2014, 06:25:24 PM »

I have 2 teams on there, the more recent Tyrannicide, and the much less notable Nom. Pretty sure both had an incarnation of Blood Orange in, but Tyrannicide is for sure my favourite of the 2.

Joining the 'Building-For-BB9' club

Due to the hammer being on a spin motor, if the hammer goes further than it should (like, all the way around) it will cut through the skirt hinges, but this is unavoidable... is it still IRL?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #689 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:47:21 PM »

Are Hammer motors allowed?

Cause if you can't use them, I'm pretty sure you could ask Massimo his opinion

cephalopod · « **Reply #690 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:48:01 PM »

I don't know, are they? I used a small perm.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #691 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:51:32 PM »

No Hammer Motors

What weightclass is it?

cephalopod · « **Reply #692 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:53:53 PM »

Lightweight. Got 3 ants and astro drive.

Naryar · « **Reply #693 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:54:48 PM »

astro drive, what are you going to outwedge with dat

Natster-104 · « **Reply #694 on:** April 20, 2014, 02:57:35 PM »

Right I've got a solution, make a longer bit of the back part of the hammer that touches the floor and stops before it passes through the skirt hinge

I wasn't planning on outwedging anything :P the skirts are more for stability than anything.

It doesn't pass through the hinge on an ordinary swing. If the bot jumps because of the momentum/impact, it will, whichever side the hammer's on.

Metal hinges or is that not IRL?

cephalopod · « **Reply #697 on:** April 20, 2014, 03:45:03 PM »

Help I did a SHW help help
Surprisingly stable, and if it does topple it rights weirdly easily all things considered.
Still, help. Help.

Also, here's the team. I doubt I'll enter that... thing up there... lol.

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

Oh, come on, Max. That thing is badass.
