I meant "worth it". Is the HP of the MEs worth it to attach the piglets or should poly's/carbon Fibres be used?

Multiextenders are not worth it outside the chassis, excepted in a location where there size helps and where they will not get hit.

New 'bot:

It's name is Gilgamesh 3, has 5MM of Plastic, and is 798 kgs.

For some reason that bot remembers me of COID

Enigm@ · « **Reply #104 on:** November 25, 2010, 09:01:56 PM »

No, I have not been lurking.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #105 on:** November 25, 2010, 09:03:47 PM »

you wouldn't want to be lurking around COID :P

Enigm@ · « **Reply #106 on:** November 25, 2010, 09:05:34 PM »

Exactly.

NFX · « **Reply #107 on:** November 25, 2010, 09:08:32 PM »

Nowhere near as bad as COID. For a start, it's balanced reasonably well.

On the power front, you do only need 3 ants to power this, minimum, I might go as far as 4 or 5 personally, but you'll probably want NPC motors and Hypnos on there as well. Might want to try having higher DP weaponry on the flails, and swapping the static hammers for more flail weaponry.

So you'tr saying make this a Super Heavy Weight?

NFX · « **Reply #109 on:** November 25, 2010, 09:13:14 PM »

No, I'm saying lose some ants, upgrade the motors and the wheels and try and redo some of the weaponry while keeping it as a HW. Maybe use razors.

Yeah, I believe the vlad spikes have normals anyway.
And do what NFX says, especially getting rid of the sledgehammers, they're eating up a lot of weight better used on razorz

You could also use lighter armour, shell spinners don't need that strong chassis armour (although if you had enough weight left over, a titanium half sheet on the bottom could help you against gut-rippers).

Even tightening up the chassis (circular chasis seem to usually leave a bit of empty space, so you may want to avoid using them much) will help you save a bit more weight.

One other thing, it's usually best to stick something like a carbon fiber extender on top of a shell spinner like that, it's not very reliable but it could save your bot from being inverted and immobilised very easily.

Batteries look good. I would deffinently work on the weapons. Either lots of little weapons like razors or afew of some heavy weapons like sledges.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #113 on:** March 18, 2011, 12:57:09 PM »

Well, I guess it's time to dust off the ol' showcase

With a new version of The Enigma Machine.

Needs a metal hinge wedge

Enigm@ · « **Reply #115 on:** March 18, 2011, 01:17:39 PM »

Metal hinge's mess up on me for some reason, and it actually gets under 'bots better with the skirt.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #116 on:** March 20, 2011, 10:24:59 PM »

Try using a separate skirt hinge for each wedge. I've noticed that when you put two or more wedges on one skirt hinge, it usually turns out bad, but if you just use a single wedge, it can be as good as a metal hinge.

I know i haven't showcased much of anything in a while, but i think this was worth waiting for.
PRESENTING: EA, CONSUMER OF GALAXIES:

If i remember it weights about 6118 kgs altogether.
Has about 12 batteries, crapton of sir k's, steel 10, and made of 100% lulz.

Somebody · « **Reply #118 on:** November 17, 2011, 10:01:19 PM »

A lot better UHW (if you cut it down a bit) than Destroyer Of Stuffs 2. That thing is mental.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #119 on:** November 17, 2011, 10:01:25 PM »

Needs MOAR RAZORZ!

But really, It is cool.

It's funny what happens when boredom and RA2 collide.
