How often do the ME's get broken off?

Some fun facts:
- The multiextenders are attached to the baseplate, so they're invincible. The only part of the hammer that can break off is the weapons (and the hex plates, but those never get hit).

Now to outwedge this...

Pwnator · « **Reply #190 on:** May 23, 2010, 03:29:53 AM »

Outwedge that is easy. KO-ing it, however...

Why does it use battlepacks?

Pwnator · « **Reply #192 on:** May 23, 2010, 03:34:58 AM »

At this scale, I don't think it doesn't even matter. o_o

Why does it use battlepacks?

For saving weight and because it has enough battery power for now... but i would rally use 3 PC545s here.

Yep, battlepacks give slightly more amps than an equal weight in ant batteries, and for burst motors amps are important. PC545s... the reason I didn't use those is actually because I was too lazy to rebuild the chassis :P I wasn't sure if the bot would actually be good, so I didn't worry about fine-tuning the chassis at first. When it turned out even better than I expected, I didn't want to rebuild it.

Anyways, here is my Nar AI Wars bot.

This is the one that's pretty good when I'm driving it, but struggles to beat any Nar AI bots as AI. It's another inertia-powered flipper like Ludicrous Speed. 6 fast NPC's, 3mm plastic, 6 ants, the rest you can see.

The idea is that I can box-rush opponents and flip them out before they get a chance to move.

Now if only the AI would drive effectively...

And in case you're wondering, the name R17 comes from this passage from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

Quote from: Douglas Adams

The aircar rocketed them at speeds in excess of R17 through the steel tunnels that lead out onto the appalling surface of the planet which was now in the grip of yet another drear morning twilight. Ghastly grey lights congealed on the land.
R is a velocity measure, defined as a reasonable speed of travel that is consistent with health, mental wellbeing and not being more than say five minutes late. It is therefore clearly an almost infinitely variable figure according to circumstances, since the first two factors vary not only with speed taken as an absolute, but also with awareness of the third factor. Unless handled with tranquility this equation can result in considerable stress, ulcers and even death.
R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast.

looks cool, glad to see your more frequent in tournaments

shame about the AI troubles

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #196 on:** June 26, 2010, 09:14:29 PM »

This is actually the same bot as the Kheper in Clash Cubes, I just redid the armor. It now has more front armor, more rear armor, more chassis armor (Face Gasher won't have such an easy time anymore), and no wedges (no great loss). Also has a bit more counterweight on the servo arm with a bit of extra weight I had.

This is also my MW for yoda's Survival of the Fittest tourney. Because Kheper is good at surviving. As long as it doesn't get flipped out.

Originally I made a totally new bot and chassis and stuff, with Ti sheets instead of discs and a Vlad flipper in the back, but for some reason the servo was too weak to lift the weapon arm, even though it was EXACTLY THE SAME as the original version. I eventually gave up trying to fix it and just used the original chassis and setup. No idea why this setup has a more powerful servo...

Condor33 · « **Reply #197 on:** June 26, 2010, 10:27:50 PM »

It's good in defense, but I still worry about that being a small weapon on a long weak arm, in a MW no less.

That poly extender bothers me. If you got a way to replace it with a DSL bar it should provide the much needed HP.

Pwnator · « **Reply #199 on:** June 26, 2010, 11:01:55 PM »

You could just use 1mm tite since bots rarely take out your discs anyway with that much HP. That way you could get a stronger extender for the arm. :D
