jdg37's garage of misfit bots

[jdg37]

So this time, a MW ring spinner.  I keep trying to get closer and closer to symmetry.  Will BFE the chasis height later, that should help some.

This is Helicoprion.  Shark themed ring spinner w/ 24 matilda teeth.  powered by 4 ants.  2x TWM3Rs for drive, and a TWM3R2 for the 3 100cm solid discs.  Armor is Steel 3.



Guess I've had an animal theme lately.

Whoa, wish i had seen this thread months ago. Your bots are all really cool looking, which is the most important thing if you ask me ^^

Thank you.  I mostly just mess around with odd weapon configs and my take on irl bots.

Me too, actually. I will update my showcase at some point soon.

You should. The one bot you posted has got some neat features to it.

Made a boxer for Rob.  KickPuncher.  HW.



His kicks have the power of punches, and his punches have the power of bears.

2nd try making this MW extender drum, 2nd time ending up with a (underweight) cruiser (550kg even w/ a steel back plate).

Oh well, will chop the width down to 2 medium drums later and see if that helps.



Drive is 2x TWMRs, and a flatmotor for the drums (since it was meant to be a 2nd entry for Demon's tourney).



Oh well, right side drive intersects flatmotor anyway.  Junkyard.

That's amazing, love it.

Went to upgrade BBS's drive, ended up w/ a SHW version. 



Tornado Mer Gearboxes for drive, cause why the hell not.  Steel plating all around. 1150ish lbs.

On a scale of 1 to Series 3 Stinger, how wildly uncontrollable is that bot now

Because I have a feeling it's somewhere near "Series 3 Stinger"

Surprisingly manageable. Haven't let ai take the controls yet (that's probably where it will go to hell), but so far the cobra wheels have kept it going.

both of them are beautiful

So I made a thing.  The batteries, receiver, and weapon motor are all inside the big drum.

It's a HW.



Here are internals.  It can even self-right if it doesn't have the front wedge protectors on.

das vewy nice

[Virus Bomb]

looks really cool 

[F1Krazy]

Wow, that is awesome. I love it. I gotta try building something like that sometime.

YellaJacket.  LW drum.

Hexplates were used in an attempt to get armor plates flush with extenders.
Used CF to have one drum section overlap the piglet.

 Cool, How did you get the hole?
