Very, very well done. I'm a bit concerned by how few batteries it has, can it last 3 minutes without dying?

Wellllll, not sure.  It lasted 2 minutes w/ two ants, haven't survived any matches long enough to see how far 4 gets me.

Just make it spin in the test lab and time how long it takes to die.

Its been replaced w/ a 40cm aluminum rod, 45 angle piece, and steel wedge.  Looks a lot more natural, also flips better too.

Yeah.  Minimizing chasis as far as I can, then putting a crossbar through it.  Then I build upon that crossbar.  That way the entire "chasis" can get spread all over the arena.  More realistic and fun imo.

Updated Ice Cutter.  Finally got the weapon support extenders looking good and Tombstone-esque.  Now to just decide on how I want to structure the armor a little better.  Now HW is the only option, since weapon enhancement and supports have pushed it well past Middleweight.



Additionally, I just really like the way this fight with Biohazard ended.

The custom baseplate for my new hammer/flipper (?) build.  Original plan was Chomp 2.0 inspired, but now it may go in a different direction.  We'll see.



Update:  Level 2.



Pretty much at terms that its gonna be SHW or not look the way I want.

Haven't had just a ton of time to update lately (holidays and all), but here are my 3 main bot projects (sorry for multipost)

First is an update of my HW Megiddo (V1 recently seen in Sword of Glory HW heat 3)



Front plow has been redesigned, so hopefully no more face planting.  I haven't been able to give it a "proper" functioning srimech as of yet, hopefully can work one out for v3.  Anyway, look for it in the HW division of Cybernetic Coliseum.

Next is my MW ring spinner entry for Cybernetic Coliseum.  This is Octonut.





Fun to play with at least.  I liked Spinaroo, Mate, and wanted to make one of my own.  Will probably be the first bot I try to skin (paint.net won't work on my old laptop for some reason, so I've had to hold off trying to skin anything).

Last is the bot I just made today in hopes of entering Bittybots.  This is RedPecker, and he tries his best.





He performs pretty well against DSL stock bots, but I'm not sure how the use of the Behemoth axe will go over.  Overall, good practice for making a LW since that's what the next Redditbots season will be also.

I think Megiddo would look better with all 4 wheels the same size. I like the other two though, particularly the axe bot.

I am in full agreement about the wheels.  That was just my lazy way to make it at least semi-invertible (looks god awful though).
Problem has been a) getting some sort of srimech to fit, and b) getting one with enough power to overturn an 800kg HW.

Ideally it would function like Witch Doctor's ugly older brother.  From its first go in the Sword of Glory it at least performed about  as well as with human control.  Get under bot, plow and push to wall, power OOTA.

Your vertical spinner weapon setups are strange. But cool too.

Done.  Plus accidental look-alike.
