Yeah shorten the DSL bars and it would be awesome

Thanks for the comments, the bot is designed hit at the sides of robots (I was going to call it 'side swipe' but it reminds me of an SR71). I've found when this sort of weapon goes head on it sometimes doesn't last, thought I'd try something different. It works upside down too :D

Hi guys, I have a few robot ideas, so I came up with: Robot Building Marathon: 24 hours bot building.

Wondering if this might be a regular/annual event or something, if not it can just be my thing, as I like a good gaming marathon from time to time.

So, here begins the first Classicus Robotics Robot Arena Marathon. 24 hrs of action films, Dr Pep, and robot building. I will post the results tomorrow.

I would more than like to be a part of this.

And so would I. Skype call anyone? :P
I really like the look of 'Black Bird' too.

Wish I could but my parents would never let me XD

Once I get my laptop next week, however...

There's more itnerest for this than I thought there would be, maybe the high-ups of GTM will stumble across this.

The first robot of the marathon!

I've been tinkering with this concept for a couple of months, just having the solid hours to sit down and figure it out really helped.

As it uses a cheat motor for its weapon I shouldn't really say this but in testing it destroyed T-Minus (my default test robot) in 15 seconds which I'm pretty sure is a record.

Cool. Irons on flails aren't really the best though, is there a better option that still looks awesome? And I like the idea with the vlad forks :D

ty4er · « **Reply #31 on:** June 09, 2012, 01:39:02 PM »

since you're doing it now, do you have skype? most of us will be in a skype call while we build and it would be awesome if you joined

anyway about the bot- it looks pretty awesome and flail irons arent the best choice as badnik said. Love the use of the dsl bars as armour

Tweedy · « **Reply #32 on:** June 09, 2012, 01:45:11 PM »

should i make a seperate thread for people to post their skype names so we can do a group call ?

Scorpion · « **Reply #33 on:** June 09, 2012, 01:54:40 PM »

Needs more razorz instead of the irons.

That's what the little "Skype" thingy under our usernames is for dude XD

Classicus · « **Reply #35 on:** June 09, 2012, 03:22:15 PM »

Sorry guys I don't have Skype or a microphone so doubt it would be practical. Glad the idea has caught on though. This could be our 'Wrestlemania/Superbowl' type annual event or something.

I've been trying to do a good flail + irons bot for a while, just a thing I've been trying to do, plus I think the irons look the best, they're pretty effective so far. Destroyed Red Alert and stripped Second Sentinel into little bits.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #37 on:** June 09, 2012, 03:34:41 PM »

use flail + razors, not irons

Classicus · « **Reply #38 on:** June 09, 2012, 05:25:29 PM »

I have builders block, think I'm going to take a couple hours and play Red Dead and try to come up with something, I tend to do most of my robot building in my head now, as I have learned the game more deeply. As I bet most of you do as well. I will come back after I have another bot.

I had a couple of hours sleep (I think I am getting too old for unplanned spur-of-the-moment marathons), I have been working on a bot I can't really talk about for reasons I can't really go into. At the moment i am working on a mortis replica with improvements. It always bothered me how rubbish mortis was, being my favourite bot I am going to see what I would have done if it was my bot.
