So, I wanted to do two things.  One, I wanted to make a bot with a Panic Attack top.  Just because I've never seen it used effectively and it seems like a good armor piece since it's so big (the collision is much bigger than the display mesh).  And two, I wanted to make a bot for Scorpion's tournament because the no wedges rule is the awesomeness.  Result:




Drumblebee D3.  3mm plastic, NPC fasts, 4 ants, 2 Perm 80's.  32 razors and 8 light teeth.


Unfortunately, it looks better than it is.  It doesn't have enough bottom armor to keep popups at bay, and it's easily outweaponed by dedicated weapon-spam bots (32 razors just aren't what they used to be).  It's good against horizontal spinners and some VS's but that's about it.


At least there won't be any popups in Total Carnage... my main worry will be face spinners and dual Perm VS's.


Oh, and the wings aren't just decorative, they keep it from tipping forward or backward and help it land right-side up when it gets flipped.

It is indeed invertible, but it's still better rightside up because the drum isn't quite symmetrical.

Everytime I'm reasonably confident in a tournament, someone builds something that I respect and are mortally afraid of xD

Good job click, I tried making a HS with that sort of setup. Not quite as awesome. :P

GEE, I WONDER WHAT TOURNAMENT THIS IS FOR WAS GOING TO BE FOR UNTIL THE WEIGHT LIMIT CHANGED TO SHW.





2WD NPC fasts with hypnos, 4 ants, 6-mag powering the bowl.


It's no tournament champion, but it does fight better than the original and it's a proper HW (the original was 930-something kgs).


I guess the thing to do now is give it 4WD (I certainly have enough room in there), add more front armor and perhaps more weapons.


Oh, and the wedges AGOD no matter what I do, but they're still good enough to half-get under the HW Popup in 123AI (one wedge gets under but not the other) and fully get under lesser-wedged bots.  Good enough for a joke bot IMO.
