Kitchen Appliances ? What are you talking about, crazy brit ?

It reminds me of a food blender, with razors screwed onto the blades. In other words, something I could see you using.

Enough of this off-topic bullsh*t, how do I improve this?

It needs front stabilizers, for one thing. As it is now, the bot is just going to do somersaults around the servo axle. A wedge would be a perfect stabilizer--doesn't have to be a good wedge (you don't have weight anyway), you just need something to keep the bot from tipping forward. A skirt hinge with two long poly skirts would probably do.

If you want to go the wedgeless route it's better to make a Kheper-style bot.

Hmm, would a raised skirt hinge that could act as protection (insted of the snowplow) and a wedge work aswell?

On the topic of experiments, Here's Mohawk Grenade, An Underflamer/Side Hammer hybrid.

7 ants
1 large tank
Plastic 10
10 flamers
Weight: 798.6
Metal Hinge wedges

That looks pretty cool.

That's too much for a BSG to handle. Get JX Smalls by downgrading the armor.

If you're too lazy to do that though, just lighten the load and angle the swing arc slightly upwards (to maximize the usage of the side hammers).

It looks even worse than my Sarcophagus

SKBT · « **Reply #870 on:** December 02, 2010, 03:21:02 PM »

I'd make it invertable and give it stronger wedges the polycarb ones are gonna get eaten by a spinner or SNS.

That chasis also looks familar. It looks like Death From Above's chasis. :P

I'm sure that being an evil genius and all you would have a really awesome sarcophagus. The works.

OT: Ya, I agree with the above posts. Nifty idea though. :P

Should you angle the flame throwers forwards? I mean, how much time is a bot going to spend by the plow?

FOTEPX · « **Reply #873 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:31:49 AM »

Another experimental bot, except this one actually works as planned!

Here's Heartline, RA2's first Barreler.

Tite 5
5 ants
Weight: 796.8

Naryar · « **Reply #874 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:37:18 AM »

Not the first. Russian Roulette was the first to come with the design 1 year ago, then I (inspired by RR) and Joey did one.

See 7337H and Backyard Grinder in NAR AI.

And I think barrel spinner sounds better than barreler.

G.K. · « **Reply #875 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:38:44 AM »

And Click too!

FOTEPX · « **Reply #876 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:39:37 AM »

Eh, you say tomato, I say tomahto.

Anyways, it's the first Vertical one, right?

Naryar · « **Reply #877 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:40:35 AM »

Its the first 4WD one, but I think 7337H was vertical at one point.

But it was fail when it was vertical (so is it now), so i'll guess I can call this one the first decent entirely vertical barrel spinner.

Somehow I doubt the wedges are good (and the bot in overall) since the spinner's torque screws up the weight distribution.

Stagfish · « **Reply #878 on:** December 07, 2010, 10:49:47 AM »

I did an angled one.

Anything fast is going to send you straight over backwards.
