Droids from Dagobah

You so need to build a NAR AI team.

[JoeBlo]

Very nice, Joe.  took me a second to see that the 181065 was actually two different hits though. lol.  But after picking my jaw up off the desk, i still appreciate this bot. Any control over it or does it just spin away and pray?

no actual control

it spins up without a top end speed (DSL servo boosting 1) then let go of spin and the flails glitch causing it to spin limitless faster then a duel perm (DSL servo boosting 2)

while Servo Boosting 2, it bounces around the arena while spinning keeping it mobile

-----------------------------

your new robot is interesting.. I have seen the design used before for torque reaction weapons but never for reversing drive.

Servo half-crawler ?

It looks very underpowered to me.

Edit: And you might use also TWM3s since they have more hitpoints than the drive TWM3Rs and if your drivetrain is wider, it will increase your turnspeed.

This man is a geenyaz.

2 ants aren't enough for 2 drive motors and 2 servos? I thought it would cover it. Regardless, haven't noticed any power issues with him.  And most of the time, i don't need to turn anyway, he just goes back and forth.  Anyway, more of an experiment than anything. 
 
Here's a video of the little guy in action...

I would've thought it'd be enough too, Servos don't require batteries do they?

[Naryar]

Well... i do only see 1 ant battery on it.

[yoda9726]

guess it is a bit hard to see in that pic. But yeah, there's 2 crammed in there under the control board.

just curious, have you tried replacing the beater bars with DS Light Teeth?

hadn't before, thought they'd be too brittle for this.  But, gave it a shot. here's what i came up with
 

 
freed up some weight, so i changed the drive motors up, as well as took nar's advice and widened it abit.  upgraded his arms from irons to the hammerheads, and still have nearly 50 kg left over.  he's a bit faster now, loads of more damage and still just as fun.  cheers

do light teeth have normals ?

I cant recall, just remember sage having to change the direction of all mammoths 5,738,937 teeth 

[Pwnator]

Hahaha. I think that was my fault. XD

Anyway, DS teeth don't have normals so don't worry. :D

No they don't, but facing still matters.  Just like how facing matters with razor, where the flat side deals the most damage.

[yoda9726]

So, i've got them facing where the flat side hits, that's good, right?

[123savethewhales]

The general rule is, the more surface area makes contact, the more damage.  Hit F12 in lab to see it's collision mesh.  In term of razor it's obvious, but with ds light the flat side is actually the other way (the width of ds light > the tip of ds light).  But you can probably leave it if you want (and backup your existing version if you want to change it), the difference is not that big.

God damn Joe don't be a noob... You made a whole MOD, more advanced than mine, and you are asking this ???

NO they do not have normals, and i've said that at least 3 times in the past.

The general rule is, the more surface area makes contact, the more damage.

Interesting....

I think I heard it from JoeBlo.  I have only tested this to be true with razor and ds light.  The flat side of 70 hammer also seem to deal more damage than the sharp side.  So maybe you can run some additional testing to see if it holds true for other weapons.

Aw c'mon Nary.  Your know that those of us who drink will forget things from time to time.  :P

you made a mod?

JoeBlo made Backlash. Do lack a brain?
