you'd want 11 ants preferably

[NFX]

I'd have said 12 ants. Each BSG uses 2.5 ants worth of power, so four of them would be 10, plus one for each NPC (spin motors use one ant's worth of power, Copals to Dual Perms), making 12 ants total. Reminds me of Smashbox 2 a little bit.

[Naryar]

Yeah use 12 ants.

[GarvinTheGreat]

12 ants added. No more weight left. Anything else?

[GarvinTheGreat]

One of my better creations:



Titanium 1
NPC Fasts
Problem with this is that it won't turn well. Not sure if it is because of the hypnos...

[NFX]

Probably. Also, it's far too long. You could get that stuff in a simple box chassis, which will save you a ton of weight. And don't overlap your wedges like that, it hurts the wedge quite a lot. And is technically unrealistic.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Ah, I see now with the chassis. Rebuild coming soon hopefully.

EDIT: Also, I'm guessiing it would be better if I roatated the extenders so that the razors stick up?

[Naryar]

It's awful. Really.

Hammer-like weapon shape is utterly pointless at that arm length, the chassis is indeed far too long and unefficient, it has no front armor, it can't self-right, it has not enough batteries... It's not even aesthetically pleasing or uses a revolutionary new system.

Yes it would be.

Build a standard, efficient generic popup and fight it against different bot types until you figure what makes a popup good, THEN try and innovate.

Yeah. I was going to make a popup, but when the extenders were preset at 90 degrees the opposite way of what they needed to be for a popup, I got lazy and decided it would be easier if I just left it the old way. New version will come soonish.

Simply rotate them 90 degrees. Press F12 to see the collision meshes, it's tricky to see the Poly extender turning on its own.

7 ants

[Badnik96]

You have weight for hypno wheels.

[NFX]

Better. But if you attach the poly extenders by their side AP's, that will give you a shorter reach, more acceleration, plus they won't stick out the front like that. It's kinda generic now, but it's much more effective and efficient than it was before.

[Naryar]

Much, much better.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Yeah, but the Hypnos for some reason weren't turning well. It still has some issues but it's better.

Yeah, I liked the previous because I didn't want a generic bot. But this on is much more effective.

I guess an IRL design maybe....?

IRL design my ass.

[Naryar]

Looks IRL to me. Although maybe it wouldn't do as much damage IRL, so does it count or not ?

I think it is. This is possible to build so why not.

Yeah, I probably should take away some of those beater bars.

edit: that was a messed up quote
