I'm not sure a trapping setup would work too well with a spinner like this one, the opponent would simply get knocked away. Perhaps if you had them simply flat, that might work better. I'd be a little worried about the side panels being knocked off too, but it looks alright apart from that. How is it with self-righting?

Actually, it's really good with self-righting. About the trapping system, the spinner isn't way out there. You have to come into the trapping system to get to the spinners, which thus gets them trapped. Either that, or the two plows hold the enemy against a wall while the spinner chips away at 'em. Side Panels, IDK, I can't think of a better way to get more weaponry on a bar. And most of the time it doesn't need to self-right, as thanks to the half-sheets, it's actually really stable.

A single HS trapper ? Trappers work much better with many small spinners, you know.

So people are saying that minimalist IRL DSL is dying...

Nice job.

Very nice indeed. Only thing is the skirt hinges look quite out of place sticking out like that.

If I could stop them doing that, I would. Problem is, I can't.

How about ME+Poly Extender? Same weight, but withouy the sticky-out bit.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #1547 on:** December 03, 2011, 09:05:53 AM »

Wouldn't be able to get it at the right angle. I might try using a baseplate extender, that might do the trick.

So many flippers. Looks really great.

Everybody Likes A Good Bot Dump~

Some random bots, eh. They're pretty good.

Some drum bot I was making, but then SCREW YOU, AGOD

Some MW IRL drumbot. Perm 80 on the weapon motor, and, like, TWM3R3R3R33R3'S on the drive... taint.

Another drumbot, this time, LW. It's called Destructo.

Feasible Excuse looks pretty cool. I bet you could clean the extender work up a bit.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #1551 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:23:52 PM »

destructo's weapon is kind of off-center...

AGOD-plagued bot looks awesome.

martymidget · « **Reply #1553 on:** January 16, 2012, 03:09:01 PM »

I would look at a different way to attach the piglets on the MW- at the moment you're effectively lowering the HP of the piglets by a considerable amount and making it easier for bots to deweapon you.

those shell panels are weak iirc, easy hs food. Otherwise they're all actually pretty good.

wow how did you spot that you must have 20/20 vision woah

NFX · « **Reply #1555 on:** January 16, 2012, 03:34:57 PM »

Destructo is clearly specialised to attach opponents approaching from the right. Not many builders would think of that.

For the first two drumbots, I would probably lose a few teeth, and definitely try to strengthen those side panels, otherwise they're going to get taken off sharpish. I tried making something like the HW a while back, but yours is a much better version. Not sure about the axles, though, a skirt hinge would work, wouldn't it?

so its weapon is a magnet?

I have to check this showcase more often.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #1558 on:** January 26, 2012, 07:36:22 PM »

2 weeks without a bot from me? What kind of Taliban torture is this?

Remade Pack Rat to be an exclusively looks-only machine. I like it.

OH DON'T I LOVE COPYING THE STYLE OF SKBT

I pull off the whole SKBT building style better...

I'd go for invertability on the 2nd bot. I always do that...
