Got enough plastic? Looks decent. How are the wedges?

Completely untested.

wedges seem like they wont be that good. just have a single wedge in the middle, since how centered your wedge is also determines how good it is.

bot seems wide enough, should be able to shove reliably

Weird yet awesome. I like the angled polycarb skirts being used as plow extensions.

Get Hammered III

3 ants
1mm plastic

Neat, BW Bash I assume?

Sure, why not?

I'll stick it on the exchange shortly.

Sweet.

Sweet.

It's up, but I accidentally put it in LW.

Nah, it was pivoting back and forth as I took the screenshot.

Ok cool, and is there any benefit to having the drive on CF extenders.

Stability, mostly. It would flip onto its back when accelerating without them.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #153 on:** December 16, 2012, 04:40:13 PM »

Also, cambered wheels are awesome.

Monster II

- 3mm titanium

May enter it into Battlebots 6 if it's deemed IRL enough. If not, I don't care enough about the IRL circlejerk to rebuild.

And this new image uploader sucks balls.

MassimoV · « **Reply #155 on:** March 17, 2013, 09:17:13 PM »

The old image uploaded is on the front page. If you could get the perms either closer tithe chassis (as in where the drive motors are on) or putting them inside the chassis, that would be better.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #156 on:** March 17, 2013, 10:55:58 PM »

TBH I don't think it's IRL at all. The chassis is way too thin and no one would mount Whyachi tribars vertically.

Also, I'd love to know what makes you think you're the final authority on IRL building, Badnik. Been meaning to say that for a while.

Naryar · « **Reply #158 on:** March 18, 2013, 08:18:13 AM »

Badnik is right. It's not IRL, mostly because of the attachment point of the dual perms looking very flimsy.

However the rest is IRL enough for me, although I don't like how you did your stabilizer, mostly because it seems both fragile and messy.

RedSawn · « **Reply #159 on:** March 18, 2013, 08:24:38 AM »

Yeah, it just looks too fragile. Is that 1000kg balanced on two unsupported, narrow thin aluminium poles?

EDIT: Didn't see the flippermaker between the extenders but that's still not much.
