If my bot encounters that bot, my bot will most surely lose.

Last minute surprise entry for Micro Mayham.

Sorry, nothing as spectacular or original as Timber. But it's pretty cool how nearly half the weight of this bot is in the weapon (86 kgs to be exact... hence the name).

3 ant batts, Copal drive, 1mm plastic, the rest you can see.

I know there are ways to improve it (namely, it needs better armor) but hey, it's not bad for a rush job.

86 is dead if it encounters any HS's. But anything else it'll have a chance against.

Oh, and if you can catch the reference to Vertigo002 in this post good for you.

): youre not the only one who misses him.

Sweet bot as well, would like to see a sawblade instead though.

Gah. Mine's a speedy rammer. D:

If mine was able to knock BOT-206's saw in 2 hits, I hope I get this one in a single ram. D:

Pretty nice bot for being built last-minute. I look forward to facing you in the tournament.

not bad the only downer i see is the wedge, if say my entry can get under it then 1mm plastic won't last long O.o

Unfortunately I don't catch the reference... I probably will once you point it out. I miss vert too... He was pretty much my inspiration when i was starting out. Fought him online alot before I started playing with Inf and Sage.

It's like a BW Huge Frigging VS. That thing is awesome...

Micro Mayham

? IDK anything about Vertigo.

System32 · « **Reply #112 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:23:23 AM »

I'm guessing the reference to vertigo is the simplistic splash you posted.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #113 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:09:16 PM »

I don't know how reier figured it out but hes right.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #114 on:** August 16, 2009, 06:09:53 PM »

Yes it is the "Mayham"

Decisions, decisions...

Which one of these bots would be better for Clash Cubes 3?

First, Allomancer:

NPC fast drive, 4 ant batts, 1mm titanium armor, 2 Perm 80's. I like this bot because it actually has a large, cubular chassis with stuff inside of it. I didn't want to make the ever-popular tiny-battery-box-with-everything-outside-the-chassis because it doesn't really fit the spirit of Clash Cubes. The letter perhaps, but not the spirit.

The top drum spins down and the bottom drum spins up, so it has a tendency to grab wedges and chew them up in between, which is cool (you can see it in the splash). It can also self right by turning quickly when upside down.

Allomancer's main weaknesses: it's not very powerful damage-wise, it sometimes flips itself if it collides with another bot too quickly, and it sometimes does this:

Yes, I've checked with F12 and the collision is fine, the wedge is actually slightly under the floor. Not really a weakness (it can get under most of the Nar AI) but its legality in a tournament would be questionable at best. And it can get under hardly anything with any other wedge setup.

The second bot, Kheper:

This bot is too weird and original to show in a splash, so I uploaded a video.

Magmotor drive, 1mm titanium, 3 ant batts.

The idea here is to make an overhead trap/saw bot that doesn't need to get under its opponent first (because I can't make good wedges in DSL). So I made it perfectly invertible and very heavily armored both top and bottom, so it can withstand about 2 minutes of punishment from a typical popup before it starts falling apart. Hopefully by then, the popup will be KO'd.

Kheper is probably my best DSL MW now. It can beat most of the HS's, popups, and rammers in the Nar AI as long as its weapon Magmotor doesn't take too many hits (if only I could use the BBEANS armored magmotor...).

I don't like the design as much for Clash Cubes as Allomancer, though, because I had to resort to the tiny-chassis-with-everything-external approach. You can hardly tell there's a cube sandwiched between those discs.

Which bot I use will probably depend on what the arena ends up being.

YAY Clicks enter CC3

as for the wedge sinking issue It can pass legalities if it is a really periodic thing.... I tested all CC2 robots in the combat zone for example, Grindhouse's wedges never did sink in testing but did against ROBO but as it was not really possible to replicate it without some luck I just let it go

Kheper is also a rather effective design for a robot without wedges, I think it would cause my possible entry loads of grief

Doomkiller · « **Reply #117 on:** October 01, 2009, 10:26:53 PM »

They are both original and pretty deadly designs, as allways. And they look awsome.

But what wedge did u use for allomancer, eg skirt hinge or Metal hinge?

The Ounce · « **Reply #118 on:** October 01, 2009, 10:29:04 PM »

From what I can tell, the arena seems to be like a tabletop arena, so I would enter Allomancer, but you never know.

If you do, I would suggest grippier wheels; Vlads would be fine.
