Usually assign movement to the Dpad, main weapon is X and secondary weapon/srimech is the L1. Oh, btw, i use a playstation controller.

A robot two months in the making...! (Actually, I was gone mostly because of a move, but still, I'm back!

Love of Disaster
Mediumweight

(Photobucket's being difficult at the moment.)

Type: Sit-n-Spin
Chassis: 5mm Titanium
Propulsion: NPC Fast Motor x2, Vlad Wheel x2
Power: Ant Battery x4
Weaponry: 2x 50 kg DSL Hammer on 20x160 DSL Bar

OMD
Offense: Above Average
Weapon is capable of dealing significant damage through ramming, quick turns, or SnS.
Maneuver: Average
Capable of decent speed and maneuverability, but only two wheels. Prone to getting stuck in compromising positions.
Defense: Strong
Double the strengths of Flirting With Disaster's hammer, plus 5mm Titanium armor. SnS is now a valid tactic, as well.

Pros
Strong hammer weapon, useful for attack and defense
Invertible, decals make disorientation unlikely
Long weapon range

Cons
Somewhat prone to bouncing about, and getting stuck up against walls
Hammers could be stronger
Becomes completely helpless if rendered incapable of spinning

Summary: An improvement on Flirting With Disaster, now boasting twin hammers, and thicker armor.

Use the gametechmods image uploader, its faster and always works.

Got one pic working, at least.

Turn the DSL bars 90 degrees; they'll be able to do more damage that way.

I tried to, but then when I spin, I bounce around like nobody's business.

Nobody likes me any more.

Reaction (Working Title)
Heavyweight - 796.9 kg

Type: Spinner
Chassis: 3mm Steel
Propulsion: NPC Fast Motor x4, Vlad Wheel x4
Power: Ant Battery x7
Weaponry: 3x 50 kg DSL Hammer on Whyachi Tribar

OMD
Offense: Strong
Weapon is capable of dealing significant damage through ramming, quick turns, or SnS.
Maneuver: Above Average
Four-engine drive train is maneuverable, and keeps me from being pushed around. Still have the usual spinner problem with driving straight, though.
Defense: Above Average
Sheck is very strong, but even with Steel 3, it's still very vulnerable to pop-ups (and Wiideload).

Pros
Strong weapon
Fast, maneuverable drivetrain
Heavy, powerfully defensive shell.

Cons
No secondary weapon
Weak underside
No SRiMech

Summary: Technically the next incarnation of Kinetitronic, I still feel like I could improve upon it. The shell is there to push attackers up into the spinner, though it's effectiveness is... dubious.

Scorpion · « **Reply #67 on:** October 27, 2010, 02:45:53 AM »

You no, you could just downgrade the main armour a bit and use a half sheet on the bottom to protect against pop ups.
Weges would still be a problem for that design though, hmmmm

NFX · « **Reply #68 on:** October 27, 2010, 02:50:22 AM »

He could make a gap in the shell and put a decent wedge through there, seeing as it doesn't turn at all.

Scorpion · « **Reply #69 on:** October 27, 2010, 03:05:47 AM »

Yeah, definately.
Wait, you may have gave me the awnser to fixing one of my old bot!
Thanks NFX

Eh. It's cool, but gut-ripper fodder.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #71 on:** October 27, 2010, 02:38:07 PM »

Getting better :D

JoystickHero · « **Reply #72 on:** October 27, 2010, 05:58:29 PM »

I think I'll take both pieces of advice. Sheet on the bottom, better wedge in the front...

What's the best way to build a wedge? I never have any luck building one that works.

Also: I'm trying to think of a name that implies that this bot is Kinetitronic, reborn as a cyborg/armored black knight/sort of thing. Hence the trademark Rad symbol around the spinner.

NFX · « **Reply #73 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:02:08 PM »

Metal Hinge + DSL Bar + Small Wedge is normally your best bet, but the AGOD is a bitch if you go down that road. Metal Hinge Wedges are better than Skirt Hinge Wedges for the same components, though.

Alright, I'll try that.

...AGOD?

Axel Glitch Of Death.

Its when your bots collision mesh doesn't line up with the visible component.

Aw, damn.

I'm also having a problem with that bug where after I place a hinge, it goes spinning and flies away.

NFX · « **Reply #77 on:** October 27, 2010, 06:16:38 PM »

That happens to everyone, I think it's an extension of AGOD. Go into Test Robot, then back to Components, and then they come back.

Awesome, thanks.

Also, my chassis is too square to place a titanium halfsheet on. D:

BIG MEATY COCKS

btw you can stop the axle from flying away by switching tabs right after attaching it.
