I've haven't tested it too much but it gets under quite a few bots. I really need to download the latest Nar AI. :P

DP!

The wedges get under HnM4.

New bot!



Lol at the AGOD. xD

Anyway, it flips whenever the weapon motors are spinning. What can I do apart from getting a wider wheel base?

It looks unrealistic to me, rotate the hammers 90 degrees. =D

I thought the hammers passed through the extenders holding the motors on. I think you should do more damage if it's turned round, not sure how, though.

When you say flips, I'm assuming it flips vertically forwards, not topples over sideways, so it might be due to the AGOD.

It flips because the spinners are asymmetric due to AGOD. Rebuild them.

Skirt hinges are bouncy and building something that needs stability is never a good idea. Try rebuilding with smaller weapon bars and attaching the frontal supports with something like a multi extender.

Nope, they don't pass through the extenders. And about the hammers.... I remember reading somewhere about how RA2 calculates damage. It said that it calculates damage by surface area of the weapon in contact with the other bot so, if it does, it should do more damage this way. Can anyone else back me up?

Yep, but G.K. said...

Longer back stabilizer.

So, it's probably a combination of both. :P

P.S - Guess what the bot is called? Y.A.M.C. That stands for:

Yet
Another
Mako
Clone

XD

EDIT:

Ok.

Don't other VSes use this setup?

Heh. True. Attach the wedges to static things.

And an axle on a burst motor... that's tempting the gods of Havok.

Those sideways hammers have always given me some serious AGOD as well. Tried it 2 or 3 times and all were ruined  :(

I know that bot is DSL realistic, but is it IRL realistic?
I do those awful YouTube videos.
