It's crap, but I like the looks of it a lot.

Conraaa · « **Reply #81 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:11:38 AM »

Thanks?
I'm not sure whether to downgrade the drivetrain and invest in more weaponry or not.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #82 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:13:47 AM »

Yeah, downgrade to Astro's or Slims.

Conraaa · « **Reply #83 on:** April 24, 2011, 05:33:52 AM »

Alternate version. Nothing will probably ever come of this, just wanted to try it.

And I'll have a play around with slims see what I can do with the extra 10kg

As cool as it looks, I have absolutely no idea wdf it is that it's meant to do, please educate me. :P

1. People go running into the bot, or the bot runs into people.
2. From the force on the DSL Bar, the spikes shoot upwards.

3) The razors then gut rip the opponent (Optional)

o.o Didn't know RA2 could work like that. You kids and your inertia powered weapons nowadays! I need to get to grips with them, has been too long. D:

Conraaa · « **Reply #88 on:** April 24, 2011, 06:06:43 AM »

The downside to inertia powered weapons is that they need one good hit right at the start of the match or they are up the creek without a paddle.

That looks very easy to flank, so I'd widen the setup a little. Also use something other than a T extender considering that the are entirely obsolete in DSL

NFX · « **Reply #90 on:** April 24, 2011, 06:36:31 AM »

I'm not certain that'll work, to be honest. The razors aren't going to be moving with any speed when they hit the opponent, they ideally need to be below the chassis.

Conraaa · « **Reply #91 on:** April 24, 2011, 06:46:36 AM »

I'll replace the t extender with something and test the robot out later. See what happens.

RESULTS OF TESTING

Back to the drawing board.

To elaborate: It flipped itself over most times upon initial impact. It would then spend most of its time flailing about like a fish out of water.

Conraaa · « **Reply #93 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:14:49 PM »

Finally! A robot that isn't complete and utter tripe!
It bears some resemblances to NFX's latest bot in his showcase. Purely coincidential I swear :P

You can shrink the chassis a bit but it hardly matters at this weight i guess...
I'm guessing its very front heavy?

Conraaa · « **Reply #95 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:22:04 PM »

2 30kg sledgehammers. So just a bit :P

ty4er · « **Reply #96 on:** April 24, 2011, 12:35:03 PM »

Try angling them so they run along the floor :P
It's good though

Weapons touching the ground do little/no damage.

And like Phrizbee turning into The Revolutionist. I present Dimwitted Background Pony 4.

Derp.
