Nah I'm pretty sure the game doesn't recognize chassis bends like that, unfortunately.

The Devil from Stock? If you look underneath it, it's chassis is actually very complex. It has bends that you wouldn't be able to do traditionally, and tedious through bot editing, or I'd think so.

That's an interesting idea for a bot though, would love to see it in action.

I know someone awhile back (2-3 years ago) showed that you could make Devil's chassis without BFE

yeah that isn't really a hard shape to make in the bot lab.

I think I'll experiment with the bot file when I have the time.

Happy to report everything works as it should on this one. Havn't been able to say that for a while. It's not easy to see from the picture but the disc system moves up and down to get over the top of bots and do some damage.

What on Earth... nevertheless, that is awesome.

Thanks. I think I'm going a bit mad to be honest. Its not entirely terrible and I beat Grog so can't complain.

Wha... Th... Hell..?

Problemo?

Yeah, it's a VS clamp with flamethrower elements.

You need more forward defense and maybe the clamp weapon is too big for the flamethrower to reach the enemy bot... apart from that it's very aesthetically pleasing.

like all the reskinned stuff, the wheels kinda look like silver watermelons to me

Classicus · « **Reply #151 on:** October 05, 2012, 06:23:10 PM »

Thanks. I was trying to make a one wheeled bot earlier and I had those left over. This one is fairly fun deadly.

Beautiful. Are those reskinned fatboys?

Classicus · « **Reply #153 on:** October 06, 2012, 03:33:01 AM »

Yes. They're steel ball wheels at 35kg and 8000 hps each. It's time to kick things up a notch.

Looks amazing. Great job with the component skinning.

Kossokei · « **Reply #155 on:** October 06, 2012, 04:51:02 PM »

Love the wheels, however, I think they'd look a little bit cooler if they had like a strip of rubber going down the middle, sort of like The Master's(?) wheels.

Would something like this be possible?:

(Image removed from quote.)

Think chassis wtih legs and a big disc underneath, like a giant spider or something? I tried making a bot like this before with Nightmare's struts but it didn't work.

I am a little late for making a suggestion but you could possibly get away with making the upper half of the chassis in that shape and then make legs out of various parts. Similar to how I pulled off Megagross in the pokemon tourney. I think it could work, it would take a bunch of effort. (plus the legs wouldn't be the achilles heel of the bot due to immediate damage) *pun intended*

Classicus · « **Reply #157 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:19:34 AM »

Yeah that's a good idea. It's on the list.

Classicus · « **Reply #158 on:** October 08, 2012, 09:24:43 AM »

This is a robot I made a few months ago which I've managed to get hold of again. It's overweight because I had to change components in the .bot file to get it working on my new DSL. I'd like advice on how I can make the weaponry more efficient/durable within the confines of the general design as it looks meaner than it actually is. All comments welcome.

looks awesome, if you want better weapons then you could go for beater bars and either razors or light ds teeth
