Ice Pick is pointless.
Can we see chassis?
Also, does anyone else put static srimech arms on their SS's?

I think the ice pick is there to prevent the bot from lying flat on its back and being counted out, 'cause it could maybe start mauler dancing a little bit and move around the arena, is that why it's there?

Maybe, but it's still a bad component choice.

At least it's not that easy for opponents to take off when it's inverted, in the same way a carbon extender is.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #287 on:** October 03, 2010, 09:30:34 AM »

But a longer extender is better.
Why not a static srimech using a ME passing through the disc after axle loading?
EDIT: Too slow

The ice pick is there, not for any efficiency reasons, but because I had no weight for an extender to put it on. It's a sort of decoration, looks like the top of a scythe, a bit.

*cough* carbon fiber extenders are really light*cough*

G.K. · « **Reply #290 on:** October 03, 2010, 01:57:13 PM »

But really weak.

But if they self-right you once before getting ripped off, they do better than getting stuck on your back with a weapon that can't self-right you, and can't do damage because of its normals.

G.K. · « **Reply #292 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:06:02 PM »

1 20 CM won't self-right this bot.

NFX · « **Reply #293 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:11:30 PM »

If you swap the Ice Pick for something like a Razor or Iron Spike, that could work.

G.K. · « **Reply #294 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:14:13 PM »

I'm keeping the Ice Pick for decoration. It reallly doesn't matter.

Somebody · « **Reply #295 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:20:39 PM »

What are you talking about G.K. Carbon Fiber is 20cm per kg. Remove the ice pick and you get a bunch of weight for carbon fiber extenders.

G.K. · « **Reply #296 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:47:17 PM »

I'm not removing the pick.

Somebody · « **Reply #297 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:03:47 PM »

Fine. Your loss. Literally.

You are being stupid, you know ?

G.K. · « **Reply #299 on:** October 04, 2010, 07:59:01 AM »

No, I'm giving my bot a decoration.

I could remove an ant and use that weight for a srimech.
