I like the use of the Behemoth scoop.  Did you plan on using that from the beginning?

My original goal was to use the Overkill Wedge and shock everyone... but it was too heavy to be really practical for my build.  The scoop became a really suitable alternative. It certainly has not broken off in any of the testing that I have done.  It compliments the metal hinge wedge rather nicely.

I'd thought the drive would have made it quite fast, Considering it's 2 Mags,  :gawe:

Anyway, looks like a pretty good bot really.

That's 4 Mags. :P

That is brilliant!


It even has the chute on the side where the grain pours out!


I would have made chains of beater bars on the edges of discs to make an eggbeater weapon, but I guess Dreadnought discs work too.


Also you'd probably be better off with single Mags for drive since the dual Mags are only weapon motors, not drive.  (It won't be much faster, it will just save some weight.)

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

I thought the same thing, but when I used single mags it was so slow it wouldn't even turn (mainly because 900 of the weight is on the front) Might have been a balance issue that could be solved with ballast even moar batteries!  I will tinker with it.  :D

Another WIN

And I have no idea what to make yet.

Wait, if it's something real, then I could enter a real life bot...

Love the attention to detail, the 'auger' (I learned something new today, thanks Reier).  Pretty fearsome weapon in this tourney too.

Had quite a bit of fun building bots for Badnik's "Blades of Fury" Tournament.

Bear in mind these are mainly Form over Function.  Horribly combat inefficient... yet entertaining to watch.

First three are my entries for the tourney... the last one is a failed concept that took a while to build, yet couldn't even beat most DSL lightweights.  :(

Great job skinning. They look great. Also, did El Chupacabra have a flipper before? I thought those Vlad spikes were static before.
