Couple of IRL bots. Trying to expand Thunderhead into a team.

The LW, Updraft:

Pretty simple design, nothing too special, but it looks good in its simplicity. 3mm Ti armor combined with the sloped sides makes it reasonably sturdy. Fully invertible as well.

The MW, Multicell:

Yes, it looks like a Mortis clone, but this was totally unintentional, I swear. It just ended up this way. It was actually inspired by this bot of Nicsan's:

7 Ants NPC's Tite 5.
Feedback?

I wanted to make a similar chassis shape but put the wheels and weapons in the gaps. And it turned out a flipper in one gap and a hammer in the other fit really nicely. It has 7 ants and 5mm plastic so it's a bit underpowered and a bit fragile. The flipper is powered by a Judge burst though so it's reasonably powerful. Not that good but I like it. Might try to sneak it into BOF last-minute if I can AI it.

The HW is called Supercell and will be posted once it's skinned.

Updrafts drum supports are awesome and Multicell looks like a hybrid of Storm II and NFX's MiDAS. Can't wait for the HW.

Very nice motor setup on multicell :)

Updraft is god-like. Inspires me to do a bit of IRL-ness right now.

Bot exchange, please.

Nope, none of these bots are going on the exchange. Why? It's a secret to everybody.

Also, I just noticed that in a side by side comparison, Multicell's skin looks really pixelated and blurry even though it's 512x512.

Might need to fix that later.

Updraft, I especially like. The wheel placement reminds me of Watch Your Step! from B4ttleBots a little bit, but I do like how you've made it invertible with the skirts. Multicell, I would never have thought of laying out the components in that fashion. But then I wouldn't have gone for that shape either. =P I'm not a fan of the angled skirt being used as a lifter, however, I would have just gone for another flipper segment or two, personally.

When will you be telling us this secret?

Also maybe a possible IRL AI Pack secret project put together by Click (and maybe others)?

If so, ohboyohboyohboy

No, I'm not doing anything so grand as making a secret AI pack. I've still got DSL3 that I'm supposed to be working on. I simply can't reveal my reasons for not putting these bots on the exchange.

The reason will come out in its own good time and not before.

Naryar · « **Reply #411 on:** February 16, 2012, 06:22:52 PM »

Click probably intends to send them to an IRL tournament, or put them in DSL3, so he won't spoil the bots.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #412 on:** February 17, 2012, 02:10:03 AM »

I think DSL3 will be more IRL Stylish than DSL2.1

Thyrus · « **Reply #413 on:** February 17, 2012, 03:20:31 AM »

I wish I knew what those bots were made for :o

HW for the team

Basically a HW Orange Wave. The spikes give it a second form of offense when it flips over and before it self-rights (which those skirts on the top are needed in order to do). It's notably lacking in weapon weight for a HW, just having a bare DSL bar for a weapon. It may get outweaponed by most other spinners, but it doesn't do any less damage before that happens and it's plenty dangerous against any bot light in the weapon weight department. The only flaw is the weak chassis armor; usually the chassis is safely out of reach, but if it happens to get hit before Supercell can self-right, it's going to hurt.

Oh and it's kind of hard to see but it has a titanium sheet on the bottom to protect the drive motors.

Looks great :D

That looks fantastically awesome!

NFX · « **Reply #417 on:** May 10, 2012, 08:48:57 AM »

Looking awesome. Would there be any way of adding a drum component underneath the bar, just to make it look a bit more sturdy?

Looks awesome.
when I first saw it, I thought it was a helicopter.
