Ehh, flails are so 2009. Now-un-days, it's all about dual-layer weaponry.

No. Dual-layer weaponry has different advantages and disadvantages as such it is a different style, not a replacement for flails.

About the shell spinner, I worry about how it will preform against popups with such little bottom protection. How does it fare?

I think the bottom protection looks solid, as long as it has at least titanium 5 armor.

The iron is a pretty good idea for winning the de-weapon war against another flail shell.

Iirc it does have Tit5 armour

After I stopped crying at the inefficency of half of the replicas in DSL. I made this.

I'll make the paintjob look more pretty later.

Oh and Urjak I'll test Alabamy right eventually I swear.

That's exactly what I hoped for in NQRW. Effective designs that look like IRL bots. Good job.

Conraaa · « **Reply #146 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:22:09 AM »

Thanks.
I don't think wedges are going to matter too much in nqrw as the best most people can hope for would be a chassis wedge.
My first idea was a reincarnation of Bulldog Breed and that couldn't get under anything,

Oh u
Doesn't that thing have dual judge bursts?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #149 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:34:51 AM »

Yupz, but after 1 flip the flippers go out of alignment and it so it can't get under much.

NFX · « **Reply #150 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:38:49 AM »

I thought you could only use the components on one specific rep. Wouldn't Judge Bursts not be allowed on a T-Minus based bot?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #151 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:40:39 AM »

It uses a Judge burst on the DSL replica.

I'm talking about a lady who's actual size.

Scorpion · « **Reply #153 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:40:37 AM »

Too little weaponry really, maybe downgrade the armour adn try to upgrade it a bit, maybe aim to get some beaters on there instead.

Conraaa · « **Reply #154 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:42:46 AM »

Little spacer, so the teeth weren't constantly grinding along the floor.

Scorpion · « **Reply #155 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:43:40 AM »

lol, i realised that right after I wrote it, and already changed my post, so your comment makes no sense now

NFX · « **Reply #156 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:50:52 AM »

A Shark's Tooth would do the same job as the hexplate for less weight. DSL Bars should really be swapped for 40cm Tite Sheets, I think you can get away with CF extenders holding the motors on, and try to make it invertible if you can.

Conraaa · « **Reply #157 on:** May 31, 2011, 12:22:44 PM »

Shame it's a bit naff. Also the wheel base isn't wide enough so if it turns too violently the discs will hit the floor.
OH WELL

NFX · « **Reply #158 on:** May 31, 2011, 12:33:23 PM »

Looks quite good. I would lighten up the rear stabiliser assembly, and try and give it a wider wheelbase. Interesting concept, though.

Conraaa · « **Reply #159 on:** May 31, 2011, 03:25:29 PM »

Tweaked it a bit.
