Full 5000kg UHW? Full 5000kg UHW.

Basically it's Seek with a bunch more stuff added. This was going to be my COTT bot until I thought about making Hide. It's supposed to beat flippers without relying on a wedge. The side discs flank the enemy and rip off wheels, and the middle discs rip up the actual flippers. A hidden row of razors under the bot also causes damage when flippers hit them. If it can survive about 3-4 flips, opposing flippers should be quite heavily damaged and it will be easier to avoid going OOTA on further flips until the enemy is destroyed. That's the theory, anyway. I haven't tested it against any UHW flippers.

10 ants, 10mm steel armor, and if I got a dollar for every tooth I'd be a very rich man.

Looks exceptional. I especially like the layered way the weapons are laid out. With all that weight on the Perms, though, are the weapons not a little bit slow?

looks fantabulous =D

Bot Exchange, plz?

OK, put it on the bot exchange.

Nope. They slow down quickly when they hit something but they get going at a good clip. (Fun fact: the inner discs in the disc stacks are hollow to save weight.)

Originally I had 12kg teeth on the vertical discs but then they did spin too slow.

Dude, awesome! I like the 259 discs for some reason. It completes the look.

COTT will be finished in a week or 2 over Christmas break and COTT 2 will happen someday. When life slows down. So yeah its full UHW only and that's awesome. So watch for the COTT thread, just a couple matches left! /freepublicity

But that thing is beast. I need to build more full UHWs.

Time to fight it against Ea, Consumer of Galaxies. :D

That looks phenomenal.

It looks crazy, that's for sure.

awesome :D

Better post my take on Mike's Greenwave-style HS design before it becomes a klone.

This works like Anathema 3, which I posted a couple pages back. If it hits a wedge and destabilizes, the chassis starts spinning instead of the blade and those Lightning spikes and Typhoon spikes become deadly weapons. Unlike Anathema 3, though, it actually self-rights fairly quickly thanks to the angled skirt on top.

It has 4 ants, 1mm Ti, a Perm 132, and no BFE required!

Now THAT'S what I call a bot! O.O

Does look very nice indeed. I imagine it would look better if the axle wasn't so long, though. I think if you tried a Bar setup similar to what I used on Frequency, then that might save you some weight for 30kg hammers.

I thought about 30kg hammers but I think it just looks better with the 30x200 bar and 25's. This is IRL, after all.

As for the axle, I agree but unfortunately there are no 30cm extenders.

Something to add for DSL3.

NFX · « **Reply #397 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:26:41 PM »

If you're using Alu extenders, then would an ME work?

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #398 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:33:00 PM »

Possibly... that would make it a bit shorter. I'll give it a try sometime.

MassimoV · « **Reply #399 on:** December 24, 2011, 05:26:41 PM »

Someone should make one more and have a rumble in the challenge board.
