I don't deny that stats are better, but my 4-bsg flippers get beaten by my small JX flippers almost every time

*cough* wedges *cough*

Yeah, I figured that out thanks :P

Its just the amount of weight spent on flipper sheets/stabilisers, there isn't that much left to create a decent wedge

You argument about small JX's is that you don't need large ones, but I'm simply saying, if you can use large ones, use large ones as they have m ore power, therefore more chance of an early win.
EDIT: 3V=3IR has the same drive, wedges and flipper components as Enigma 21 but with large JXs and weight left for stabilisers.

I do agree, power is a huge advantage, I just think large JXs are too much of a sacrafice

Armour?

Plastic 3, if anything gets to the chassis you're screwed anyway.

I'm most definently going to loose. I also made a spinner for RA2TC.

Just trialling whether static weapons are better on a TRFBD:

Tests inconclusive so far, but I can't get the damn thing to work under AI - see AI thread.

Also, I made a random VS:

Tite 1, Perm 132 weapon motor. Inverts itself a bit too easily unfortunately.

Generally using flails means it can just sit on things and inflict more constant damage.

Non-flail weapons do more damage, but last shorter.

If you don't want flails, then you want pure concussion.

See the weapons being spinned are considered pure momentum because the entire chassis is spinning with it. Try using 4x 30kg hammers.

That's a good idea.

Also, a new bot:

Plastic 3, 4 ants. Also astroflight drive, which I forgot to mention earlier.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #494 on:** June 12, 2011, 01:54:20 PM »

Ooh. Liking it. Liking it a lot.

ty4er · « **Reply #495 on:** June 12, 2011, 01:59:52 PM »

I liek.
But i can't help but think that it would be better with something to separate the disks with something and get rid of the second piglet and swap the LDS to razors?

NFX · « **Reply #496 on:** June 12, 2011, 02:34:39 PM »

I like that bot. =]

Badnik96 · « **Reply #497 on:** June 12, 2011, 04:56:55 PM »

That looks awesome

G.K. · « **Reply #498 on:** June 12, 2011, 05:05:01 PM »

Cheers. I might actually test it tomorrow. :P

DP:

I made a SHW Cluster version:

Tite 1, 4 ants. Unfortunately plagued by AGOD, and this makes it impossible to drive without tipping over. Also scraping realistic rules, as the back shows:

So meh.
