Looks fantastic, Click. You never fail to astound me. =D Is it difficult to drive at all, with the wheels at that angle?

Nope, drives straight as an arrow. The wheels are really only angled because it's impossible to align them at a 45 degree angle so I have to do 40 or 50 degrees. It's 4WD rather than 2WD with fast NPC's because... I feel like a noob just saying it... but... NPC's wouldn't fit.

And I didn't want to make it fat so they would.

Nope, just a regular reskinned BSG.

I can has Battlebots?

It's a Pressure Drop-style turret hammer, except not a walker.

This bot better be worth it. I spent several hours dinking around with the skin, trying to make the edges of the chassis look welded and designing the logo. Then I spent several more hours AI'ing it. Turns out Phil's LaserguidedV2.py doesn't work with DSL bots because the DSL servos are upside-down relative to the stock ones, and it took me a good while to figure that out and fix it.

Thunderhead started out as a MW with treads (for the 60kg weight cushion no one has used yet) but it was way too unstable and didn't even look cool. I gave up but then got the idea to make it a SHW.

The SHW version is, surprisingly, perfectly stable. It never, and I mean never flips itself over. That huge chassis with 10mm Ti weighs 510 kgs, which keeps it well grounded. It's also nearly invincible as the sloped sides make it difficult to land a direct hit. And if an opponent does flip it, it can self-right from any angle thanks to the servo turret.

Also, I believe this is the first time I have seen Storm skirts used effectively.

inb4 you lose to a boring HS :P

Also, it's very cool. But I feel like it's an unnecessary thing to say since it's build by you.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #372 on:** December 02, 2011, 04:08:15 AM »

Nice! That bot looks most excellent. I always had such a hard time trying to integrate storm 2 skirts in any design, due to the odd attachment point. They look great on your bot.

Kudos for the time investment! The final product looks well worth all that time and effort.

NFX · « **Reply #373 on:** December 02, 2011, 05:17:40 AM »

Very, VERY nice indeed. Excellent use of Storm Skirts, that is how skirt defense should be used in IRL building. I cannot wait to see this in action. Does it still hit the target with the hammer being off-center?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #374 on:** December 02, 2011, 09:00:54 AM »

cool. Reminds me of Adrenaline (from ARC). How fast is it?

powerrave · « **Reply #375 on:** December 02, 2011, 12:53:33 PM »

It looks amazing, that for sure. I'm kinda wondering how well this bot really works though.

TeamXtreemer · « **Reply #376 on:** December 02, 2011, 12:54:37 PM »

Damn your bots always steal the spotlight :P, Amazing, as per usual.

Most excellent.

MassimoV · « **Reply #378 on:** December 02, 2011, 04:14:01 PM »

You are my hero! If the welded edges aren't part of the custom skin, you should release it for future IRL bots. Mostly cause its awesome!
