More attempts at trying new things. Not sure if fond of either.

Sorry for the dodgy edges in some places, BFE likes to throw the skin off a lot.

I think both are great. I would say a weapon slot would look good on the VS, but since you already explained that bfe messes up the skin I can understand why that would be difficult.

Wasp looks pretty neat, what's the BFE on it?

The 'wheelguards' have been bfed to be a lot thinner than the game would allow in botlab, and i was also messing around with the top of the cut-in on the front, basically anything vertical on the top gets suddenly angled down near the motor belt. Most of what I've done recently has been me exercising a couple of different bfe things, attempting to improve skinning and flipper segment shells, really.

I'm digging the wasp. Looks really Robot Wars like-ish.

In the last issue of Craig Does A Standard HW VS, from mid 2013:

And now, PYREXIA 3 OR SOMETHING

It is actually a fully new build, whether it looks it or not. Seems very stable.

You should really make a font.

That'll be the font I use for splashes if I ever host another tournament.

Thanks, I'll probably use it for Graph Comm work.

"Nobody can stop me from making a new font"

And the bot is probably as good as it's going to get unless you change the style.

This started off as an attempt to build something entirely new.
Turned out entirely predictable.

RedAce · « **Reply #852 on:** January 26, 2015, 11:26:35 AM »

I like the looks of it, but the hex plate looks kinda strange to me.

cephalopod · « **Reply #853 on:** January 26, 2015, 12:17:50 PM »

I get you. I did have a T connector there which actually looked just right, but pushed it over what would be legal in HFT4 (a regular HW version would have NPC Fasts and the T connector and more decoration).

In other news, something I've wanted to try for some time.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #854 on:** January 26, 2015, 12:40:28 PM »

Both are awesome.

martymidget · « **Reply #855 on:** January 26, 2015, 01:48:12 PM »

unusual name, no idea where you got the idea for it from.

the robut is very nice.

<3 IRL vertical spinners. also that axe not looks great

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #857 on:** January 26, 2015, 03:59:21 PM »

I adore both.

Tried working on scaled down versions of the above 2 bots over the last 2 days. These are the results.

Vibetech - LW IRL Axe

Works pretty well, self rights perfectly - spent a lot of time making sure it did, actually.
Armour is only something like Alu 1 but with that beefy plow on the front...

And the considerably less exciting
Crasp Drone Mini - MW IRL VS

(I just wanted to factor in the more interesting chassis of the last few CD's into a MW)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #859 on:** January 28, 2015, 01:37:29 PM »

The axebot is awesome. I want to clone it now.
