I personally love Slam bot the way it is.

Though I would love to know what extender setup you used and what not. I can't really see very clearly
Slambot uses one hexplate to hold on the Vlad forks.

brb gonna make hw rip off of it

Very nice bots Click, How well does the Bettle bot flip?

Also what's the text say in Slam Bot's splash?

As Always Click I applaud your unique designs.

D. adamanteus has a Beta burst so it flips very well. Not like Second Sentinel or T-One but it gets the job done. Slambot's background is just a generic spambot post, you've seen it before.

I'm not so fond of the LW though. Honestly if you put 2WD NPC and some artfully placed 40cm angled skirt hinges as stabilizers it will look cooler and be faster.

Maybe name it after some tiger beetle as well. Even if it doesn't have huge jaws.

I would do this for a standard design. Might still attempt it. But part of the reason I build Slambot was just because I wanted an IRL 4WD LW.

Hnnnnngggg Dynastes Adamanteus looks amazing. <3

Shame about the inefficient wedge.

Here's my bot for RedAce's Throwback tournament. Inspired by Hedgehog and Interventionism. It's called Nuclear Arms Race because it's ultimately self-destructive and there are no winners in the end. (Also, it has nuclear-powered arms racing around in a circle.)

It's actually not bad in enclosed arenas. The problem is that RedAce's tournament is in the BBEANS arena and NAR is more than powerful enough to throw bots OOTA, itself in particular. I fully expect to fly OOTA in the first minute. BUT I'LL HAVE FUN DOING IT.

to be honest you have the advantage as a HS against a VS... But then again rammer parts, so.

Also best bots are the rage III ones.

My bot for Elementos' Axe-ample tournament. Is this poor sportsmanship, or good strategy? Either way, I'm going with it, and the rest of you can have fun in the loser's bracket.

It's not foolproof--occasional axe strikes will get past the catcher--but it's good enough to beat Ham-mer Sandwich, so it should be good enough to beat most IRL bots that come its way.

It has 1 PC625 battery, normal NPC drive, and 5mm plastic armor. The axe-catcher is mounted on a slow mag snapper and doubles as a srimech so it can quickly self-right from any angle.

Damn, that axe is in the exact place to hit the chassis of my entry. I put it offset to one side to try and avoid most weapons.

RedAce · « **Reply #469 on:** February 28, 2016, 09:44:45 AM »

That's actually kinda clever, while a little cheap. As long as no Hydra style bots are entered, then you should be good.

I like the idea while the bot doesn't quite look very IRL in my humble opinion.

Pwnator · « **Reply #470 on:** February 28, 2016, 11:06:21 AM »

It looks almost IRL, if the JX had more support on the sides.

that trash talking though woooooooooo

Dishonorabru.

The axe catcher idea is pretty clever

I thought of that... I figured Diesector's hammers were set up like this so it should be OK. You wouldn't want to build a powerful pneumatic hammer like that IRL, but The Axecutioner's axe is pretty slow.

Should I rebuild it? I'm already really strapped for weight (those wheelguards aren't for show, they're essential for stability) so supporting the JX might mean a total rebuild.

Does the axe catcher really need a burst, or can it be static?

Pwnator · « **Reply #477 on:** February 28, 2016, 08:37:15 PM »

Sure, but can't the JX do it? Or is there not enough momentum?

Actually, I would have suggested an extender sticking out of the hammer arm to do the self-righting, but then that's not IRL at all.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #478 on:** February 28, 2016, 11:48:41 PM »

It can self-right with the JX if it tips onto its front (a common occurrence) but not if it's on its back. It needs the dedicated srimech for that.

Maybe if I moved the start angle back and BFE'd it for a 180 degree arc it wouldn't need a dedicated srimech, but then it couldn't hit bots that were under it.

Brilliant design! Looks great.
