Yes you're back. Again, great work on it.

Nice bot.

Idea utterly, totally and shamelessly nicked from Thyrus, as I couldn't believe it moved that well.

So natrually, I applied the walker rule, and made a 'heavyweight' version. 1195kg, but i may replace the hammer with a spinning disc.

Awesome. =]

nice work there :D making it a VS is a good idea you could even make it invertible. how well does yours walk?

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #185 on:** May 30, 2011, 10:52:22 AM »

It's a little more bouncy than yours, but I think that's a side-effect of using the bigger servos. But it still moves well, although it's no surprise it has no traction against other bots.

Somebody · « **Reply #186 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:05:26 AM »

I love it.

Urjak · « **Reply #187 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:07:56 AM »

How exactly is that a walker? Doesn't it just run on its servos?

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #188 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:44:37 AM »

Loophole.

And a new bot, for some reason the military theme seems to suit bots quite well.

Urjak · « **Reply #189 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:46:11 AM »

Great looking bot, but you want to get at least 2 Small JXRs on this for good flipping power.

<3, What drive?

BSG's are surprisingly good. I think it's because of their high initial speed.

I think they perform better higher up though.

Hmmm... I stand corrected. Though how many flips did it take to get that bot OOTA?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #193 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:06:06 PM »

1, most of the time was spent trying to get under it. It wasn't a power problem, more a drive problem. SO this bot better have decent drive.

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #194 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:09:29 PM »

I prefer them over JXRs just because they can be used in tighter bots (although the collision is massive and prohibitive sometimes), and don't seem to have any major defecit in comparison to them.

I tend to find them most effective when the flipper is very short, hinders self-righting a little, but seems to get a stronger flip out of them.

Scorpion · « **Reply #195 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:11:45 PM »

Yeah, bsgs are better all round than both large and small JXs.
Nice bit of eye candy you got going on there btw.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #196 on:** May 30, 2011, 12:17:55 PM »

I still like it though. :P

Thyrus · « **Reply #197 on:** May 30, 2011, 01:41:59 PM »

I love your skinningskills <3!
that bot looks awesome and seems to be effective as well. great stuff.
But you know... I`m your biggest fan :D

MassimoV · « **Reply #198 on:** May 30, 2011, 07:05:44 PM »

2 new robots. 2 thumbs up, amazing job.

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #199 on:** June 10, 2011, 02:44:24 PM »

Tried to get that front HS as low as possible to the ground, but its slightly compromised because the Hypno-teeth scraped the ground and screwed the steering with a single DSC bar, hence the DSL disc and beaters. And rear face spinner/mangler, because why not? :3
