How many would you have on?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #41 on:** January 05, 2011, 12:45:59 PM »

Three, or four if I remove one battery.

How many ants currently?

Actually, to save the number of components used, I used one orange battery, and one small black one.

They fail here.

Maybe, but with the circumstances, it was for me, quite literally the only choice. I'd never get a sufficient amount of Ant Batteries in with this current bot type and a 20 component limit. Maybe I'll make a seperate version with ants in.

Lol, bad slashback ripoff

And now for something completely different- A sneak peek at my BTTB4 entry, and what it's capable of so far.

It's a DSL remake of Somebody's first robot, Atomic. Once I sort everything out, I'll paint it, and then I'll send it in.

And here, we have the finished machine-

I know what you're thinking about it. You're probably thinking "UNDERWEAPONEEEED MOAR RAZORS", but its design comes as a blessing in disguise. Its movement systems, driven by Four NPC fast motors with DSL wheels, allow it great speed and manouverability, are combined with a low profile and a special bucket scoop system that allows it to get under almost anything.
These run in conjunction with the spiked bar and the wedge stops (DSL teeth) at the top of the wedge to prevent robots from driving over the top, damaging them constantly. Through combining this with pushing, it's a good method of trapping foes and attacking their vunerable sides, wheels, and baseplates.

Finally, a positive comment

It looks nice but it isnt very good ):

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #52 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:17:50 AM »

Looks cool but relies heavily on wedge against all those popups.

Stagfish · « **Reply #53 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:19:15 AM »

And GF93, you do realise all of the DSL 2 AI have bad wedges?

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #54 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:20:55 AM »

Good point. However, I designed it so that it was primarily an Anti-popup design, with a good wedge, speed and manouverability (To get away should it be necessary), and a weapon system that does constant damage upon contact.

EDIT: Not really, but I mainly went for the sides anyway, in order to chop off the wheels.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #55 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:24:07 AM »

But you will beat me by sheer weapon weight.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:24:36 AM »

If we do fight, that is :P

Stagfish · « **Reply #57 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:27:50 AM »

Cover the bottom with halfsheets :D

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:30:34 AM »

I couldn't cover it all due to weight and space constraints, but I was able to cover the front half- that's where most of the blows happen in Popups, IIRC.

NFX · « **Reply #59 on:** February 24, 2011, 11:32:45 AM »

It's a nice idea, but I'm not certain it'll work all that well in combat, personally. If you want to beat a popup, then you have to have the wedges to do it. But it does look quite aesthetically well done, in my view.
