Goose.. As Top Gun goose?

Yes

Ohh.. he's gone!

It's a tribute bot.

Press F?

Right can we quit the off-topic now thanks. Frustrating that a goose gets infinitely more comments than a legit bot I spent time on.

It's probably for the same sort of reasons as my showcase never gets replies these days. People expect cool sh** from you, and when you deliver cool sh**, everyone's like 'oh, that's some cool sh**', and click onto the next topic.

You can change the colors on the VS/Saw to Red and white, then give a green body and dub it as "The Peppermint".

Those feels.



Here's a thing I did today. MW Undercutter-come-Thwack

[F1Krazy]

Oooh, that's neat. I like it. Kinda pink though. Does it have a name?

[kix]

Adorable.. the eyes are especially cute..

[Thyrus]

I really don't know how I feel about this new thing of bfe'ing the chassishight to be that flat.

I like it. Gives the idea of a baseplate while using the new extenders and armour panels as a chassis, allowing for more flexibility like the robot above.

[Thyrus]

It does look good yeah. But those bots are harder to be damaged and when all the components come off you have 2 wheels still going strong in the arena

True. I think for showcase and personal purposes there's nothing wrong with it. Don't most tournaments ban BFE'ing the chassis anyway?

[cephalopod]

They're much easier to stop than regular bots in my opinion. With all the components, including drive, on the exposed extenders it's hardly a safe option.

[Thyrus]

But they are also much harder to hit.
Don't get me wrong here. your latest bot really looks nice. I also like the look of all the other Zero height bots but still
also I'm still thinking of that drone that had this flat chassis in DOTs tournament...

To be fair, wasn't the drone much harder to hit?

This is just a couple of good disc or axe blows away from having all sorts of exposed motor issues.

[cephalopod]

I think you're over rating chassis hitting. Nobody is going to give a win to a bot with no motors or wheels but an in tact tiny chassis

[kill343gs]

Those wheel guards are mint

[cephalopod]

Thanks Kill!

Took a few visual hints from Tommy's The Silencer for this one.

600.0kg, nicely CW. Mini Minion disc on a Perm 132. TWM3R2 Drive.

[TheRoboteer]

Looks very, very nice. Love the front end in particular. Would it be possible to get an edge piece on the bottom of those side plates to make them sit flush with the floor?

[cephalopod]

I could but it'd make it an underweight heavy as opposed to a decent CW, and I don't wanna downgrade the drive for it personally.
