Thank you all. I have really enjoyed learning and getting new ideas of what can be accomplished in this old game.

And now, today's project.  A shark themed rammer with the dorsal fin as a Srimech.  Will probably try a 180 BFE on the flipper motor so it can be a hammer as well as a srimech.  Currently has 2x TWMRdrive motors w/ growler wheels and all aluminum everything.  2 black batteries and the mini receiver.



Update:  Shrk has evolved into Yuge Shrk.  Now 796kgs. 4 black batteries, 2x TWMR drive motors and 2 NPCs

Here is my attempt at a FBS framebot. Hopefully will see it in a faceoff with Rob, Demon and RedAce's FBS bots.

Gaps in the shell were for a different look compared to solid shells.  Ends up being a low damage spammer, no real knockout ability, but got an OOTA on Kyros' by being a very effective speedbump.

Didn't see the edit of that shark robot, bigger version looks pretty cool.

Updated everybody's favorite turtle to be (hopefully) more competitive.  No longer a framebot, and boasting swiss army shells for any occasion.



multi-shell array



not sure how acceptable the second shell is since it has 2 mini typhoon blades overlapping.

So i stumbled upon a nest of eggs, and lo and beholdch, I discovered a new batch of turtle bots!

First up is the runt, a Beetleweight weighting 173.9kg, and sporting Pl1 armor.  Honestly he was a mistake based on somehow forgetting that LW wasn't 150kg.


Next is his big brother, the real LW designed to possibly enter in Redditbots if I keep checking that page. 247.5 kg, armor is Al3.  Note: Will fix those wedgelets later...symmetry.


And finally, the HW, the big boy who will be debuting in The Gamer's Robot Wars. Weighing in at 795.2kg, with Pl5 armor.  The giant Loggerhead.


Now for the million dollar question:  Why do I keep making turtles?  Honestly I have no idea, except these bots are fun and have personality.

Would be an honor. I've been testing them against the old ldai pack as I fine tune them.

Quick little MW under cutter to mix things up.  Based loosely on Jamison Go's US antweight DDT.  Went for biggest disc I could.

Drive is 2x TWMR drives, with a Perm 120 powering the 200 cm disc.  Armor is Pl3.
