New bot called Awesomesauce.

Rule of thumb: "if the extenders are attached to things that protect the extenders... you generally don't need to make them strong."

I, personally would swap out all those extenders for poly ones and save some weight. They don't look like the will take much for punishment with that setup. I really like how that bot looks. Even though 2wd bots seem to rule the world these days... I like how that one is designed. I bet it is a blast to use in the combat arena.

yeah it's a lot of fun to drive! :) it's easy to drive, too. it tends to get flipped often however.

those wide ram plates suck due to an error in the .txt file, use longer DSL bars instead.

^^If he uses NAR AI v2.2 ramplates doesn't suck anymore.

Stronger 2WD is better than weaker 4WD generally.

Just get 2WD NPCF with Hypnos and you will then not only have a smaller bot but a lighter one as well, that will reduce extender work hence having more weight, that you could put to good use for more armor/batteries/stronger motor/weapons. Your choice really.

Really, they are fixed!? hmm, I dunno I have just spent so long avoiding them like the plague

Naryar · « **Reply #66 on:** March 10, 2010, 02:24:41 AM »

Still it's NAR AI v2.2... and most tournaments are DSL2.1, where they suck :P

Thats why i dont wanna download the Nar AI components...
Its pretty much DSL with a few new things & It really isnt used in tourneys :\

I also dont wanna have like 5 copies of RA2 xP
So, I have DSL Normal, DSL With NAR AI (Only the AI) and soon Backslash ;D

Sad news to report.

I have lost all of my DSL bots when I updated NAR AI.

I will now remake them all...

You could still use the NAR full pack, just when building a robot for a tournament don't use the changed NAR components, or the colored bits and pieces.

New bot called The Hysteria Effect (named for the sound it makes when it spins)

5 ants
steel 10 (could lower this for more weapons)

Stagfish · « **Reply #71 on:** March 15, 2010, 02:43:38 PM »

you could swap two NPC's for a etek drive

Naryar · « **Reply #72 on:** March 16, 2010, 05:18:54 AM »

Remove robot X casters and use Technos.

Oh and NPC Fast is much better weight-wise than E-Teks, so he can keep them.

About Infallable:
Love it, i had a bot entered in XBW called freek that was a lot like this!
i'd make a small one of this bot, it would be cool, just a hint :)
check out my showcase, it's a new one, i just started f-b-s robots so you could hint me

Ty

I think I've been bitten by the "VS bug" :P

let's just say this could be better...I'd like to keep it MW though.

Somebody · « **Reply #75 on:** March 19, 2010, 08:18:21 PM »

Hmm... Never thought of using discs like that. Motors are exposed.

TeamXtreemer · « **Reply #76 on:** March 22, 2010, 07:40:37 AM »

NICE.

hypnodisc7 · « **Reply #77 on:** January 01, 2011, 04:29:00 AM »

It's been too long since my last post. Here's a new bot that I'd like to keep a Beetleweight.

3mm Titanium
Exposed rear is a weakness as well as weapons (b/c they have normals)

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #78 on:** January 01, 2011, 05:31:08 AM »

Hypno, don't use piglets as Drive motors. I would use Astros with Mini wheels... Otherwise good looking bot.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #79 on:** January 01, 2011, 05:35:43 AM »

H...Hypno? You're back! *Hugs hypno tightly*

Anyways, yeah, use Slimbodies or Astros, and make the spinning disc larger.
