Very nice bot. I saw this of the RA2 forums which apparently are here now. Is there a baseplate for the rear of the bot? I really can't tell if you removed it to show the insides or not.

Your talking about this right?

Just a way to attach the armor protecting the top of the chassis

Here's an updated picture of Bonecracker.

Those Side extender thingys used on shell spinners oddly get under opponents easily.

I was just asking if the rear end was protected really.

Anyways, Bonecracker is nice too. How does it do against flippers?

Whoa. Im impressed. Even if I see some minor flaws in Cannibal I LOVE that design.

Very good bots, but Bonecracker's chassis is too big. And you could put some more drive power on these.

After driving myself mad trying to figure out a better setup for my BW Pepper. Here's an updated picture.

Also this Robot was inspired by a robot I saw somewhere around here and by my old stock bot, meet Pyramid.I'm still not sure if those polycarbonate skirts help out or not.

its called it should still probably reach farther than the chassis just because it will keep bots away from the chassis which is pretty damn important

the chassis is well enough protected. he wants to get under bots, not hit their sides. there would be almost no point to the skirts if the weapon had longer reach.

Are there any bots that can get under it, because if it can get under you, you have no chance with the weapon reach.

Duh.

Mostly the "super" wedges can get under it. Also the weapon is designed to deal damage when robots go up the skirts not when they get under.

even if the weapon reach was 100 times as long, it wouldnt help if a bot got under you.

you really need to shut up. right now.

When I posted that, all it said was Duh. I was asking what bots could get under it, as in, can alot of bots get under, or just the hinge wedge/super wedge type bots. obviously, the post edit revealed that.

Duh.
And by "super wedge" I meant bots that there main weapon is a wedge or based around one.


I just built this LW it doesn't have a name. It has 3 mill aluminum.
Heres the pictureIt says its a middleweight in the picture,but I can fix that.

That is a good looking bot. I don't know what to call it though. I was thinking maybe, Stabinator.
