I don't listen to losers who think I suck I just lower their rep.

Well there is little doubt that you aren't a good bot builder. I wouldn't call people losers just because they tell you that. I say just try to implement some of their advice and your building will improve dramatically.

QFT
The fact is, there's a lot of advice already posted in here, when so little progress is made, it seems like you are just ignoring everyone who's posted advice here, and took the time to try and help you, so I think it's perfectly understandable that people (including myself) would be slightly annoyed by now.

The reason I posted that is because I was tired and angry. So I am sorry to you guys.

I bet that's Sarcasm.

Alright the new bots
Document Shredder

Note I forgot what armour I used on it

Edit: It is Steel 3 or 5

Nightmare Moon

This will be my Robotic International Wars Season 1 bot
and it uses Plastic I think either 3 or 5

I now these are not Nar AI efficient bots but they are some of my best.

Lets see:

For the drum you are going to want to shrink that chassis drastically, and change your orange bats to maybe 6-7 ants. Honestly, I think the drum would be better with two NPC Fasts and Technos, but regardless of the number of drive motors you have, ditch thepussycat wheels and get grippier wheels like vlads, tornadoes, or technos. With the extra weight you have, add on some extra weapons (16 razors really isn't quite enough), and get some metal hinge wedges (they are far superior to skirt hinge wedges).

On the VS, downgrade your weapon motor to a Perm 80 or maybe a TWRM, and give yourself some more weapons (you would probably want to ditch the sawblade and make it a standard disk VS). Grippier wheels would also be useful (maybe rubbers or vlads), but you can keep the astroflights, seeing as VSs don't have to be all that fast. Like I said for the drum, get a metal hinge wedge as well (or ditch the wedge and add static stabilizers along the sides to avoid the wedge war all together).

Please don't spam my showcase

A little update to Nightmare Moon

As for Document Shredder, I won't bother updating it because it doesn't want to cooperate so I will try making a new bot much like it with some fixes from its current version.

Urjak · « **Reply #90 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:30:14 PM »

Better. In my opinion you can make the chassis thinner and shorter, and use angled skirts instead of those poly extenders as supports.

COOLRUNNER87 · « **Reply #91 on:** June 29, 2011, 09:46:14 PM »

As for the weapon mount, you could possibly get away with using a combination multi-extender, metal extender, and mount it from there. You may be able to get a better angle and be able to save a little weight in the process.

Might do that later but not right now.

Just out of curiosity would you guys like me to post my BattleBots entry 20% Cooler in 10 Seconds Flat? ~~So you can make bad copies of it~~

ty4er · « **Reply #93 on:** June 30, 2011, 02:14:39 AM »

For some reason i like the look of those drums.
But the insides are horrible and it would need way more weapons.
And better wheels.

In fact do you ever learn anything?

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #94 on:** July 25, 2011, 10:20:10 PM »

A little IRL type bot, Fail or Flail, it is a working Tourque Reaction bot based off Stinger, and a possible entry to a LW IRL DSL tournament if one comes up

Uses Steel 5

GroudonRobotWars · « **Reply #95 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:19:23 PM »

DP. You probably know what this is for

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #96 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:34:22 PM »

I like the look of Fail or Flail. Not terribly effective, but cool.

Berry Punch just looks unstable. That skirt hinge wedge will do almost nothing to stabilize it and the fast drive will make it prone to tipping. You should use lighter wheels and wide static stabilizers.

Edit: Wait that's a HW??? ...I'm sure you can do the same design on a MW.

Well that would be kinda the point because Berry Punch is described by the fans to be a drunk :P

But all jokes aside. It does not go unstable much, it only really bounces a tiny bit when a match starts and can flip is it takes a turn too sharp but other that it does not unstable much, I will do some fixing to it soon, I am currently busy with some more bots ATM, so I will fix after. And it is not using the fast NPCs, it is using the normal ones.

COOLRUNNER87 · « **Reply #98 on:** January 24, 2012, 10:59:06 PM »

For Fail or Flail, have you ever thought about lowering the armor and adding on a Spiked Club instead of that Mace?

FoF's beyond hope CR87
