Welcome to my DSL showcase.

Hopefully someone can learn from my failures...

My first antweight. For some reason, it havoks uncontrollably once the match starts. So if anyone knows what is causing it, let me know.

I think it havoks because the wheels are too large for the chassis size.

I would personally guess the chicken glitch.

Nope. The chicken glitch only makes the axle spin super fast, sometimes causing it to come out of the socket. It also works better with more linear components, not a mace. The wheels work on a similar principle to the Nasty Pickle glitch. When the wheels are much larger than the chassis, the bot gets glitchy. Make a tiny chassis and put comparatively large wheels on it and see for yourself.

The spike must have a small diameter. Change it to a large beater bar and test if there is a difference.

Surprise! v2

This is the rebuilt version of Surprise!, my Clash Cubes 2 entry for the Wild Card bracket.

Exactly 1199.9 kg

5mm steel

2 tall batteries & 3 Battlepacks

I LOVE the way it looks, but it can be built better.

Remove the rear hammer, casters and side beater bars and add wedges instead. The wedges can be adjusted in a way that it can also act as casters. :D

Looks really cool.
Pwn is right, get rid of the casters. Maybe angle the 40 cm tite sheets up a bit, and upgrade them to steel or something.

That is one of the coolest looking drums I have ever seen....

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2009, 04:19:38 AM »

Tubthumper...

Now:
1199.6 kg
1mm Titanium

Edit: Just now noticing the axle mounts are glitching a bit in the screenshots...

Pwnator · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2009, 04:23:14 AM »

AGODed weapons. :O

Also, go for powerful 2WD instead of weak 4WD so you can have a smaller chassis and more weapons.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2009, 04:25:21 AM »

better, but u might want to change from the axle mounts to just the plain attachment as they are AGODing

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #13 on:** July 20, 2009, 11:48:21 PM »

I need some advice here...

Its is a SHW VS and I'm not sure of the exact current weight, but i have like 300 kgs to work with.

My main problem is it needs wedges and some kind of stabilizers.

Pwnator · « **Reply #14 on:** July 20, 2009, 11:51:03 PM »

Instead of those casters and sledges, use 120cm angled sheets and use skirt wedges/ hinge wedges.

Widen those side stabilizers and add burst wedges. Possibly the black mag ones.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2009, 04:40:56 AM »

Get Hammered Again

- BW Hammer
- 6 Ant Batteries
- 1mm Titanium Armor
- 174.8 kgs

Condor33 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:22:08 AM »

Remove some batts and you can switch to a mag snapper. Big weapon power upgrade there.

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:31:01 AM »

- 1mm Aluminum

JoeBlo · « **Reply #19 on:** January 29, 2010, 01:36:27 AM »

great to see you back into it...

avoid Alu if you can, try cramming on 3mm Plastic ? Plastic and Tite are the best

you could also probably get away with 6 ants too
