I believe there is already a bot called Fail Flail, although I'm not sure.

Wham's NW2 bot. Doesn't stop KM calling this bot that though.

Like calling his bot Havok!

Entry for RW 2.
The category is Lightweight.

My Havoc has fully rotating casters like the real one and a (fail) flail.

Choice? The bot was called Havoc!

That looks really close to the true thing. You even did an awesome job painting.

Definitely. I feel that the weapon needs raising higher though, and Robot X castors to give it that high ground clearance.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #306 on:** August 25, 2010, 01:49:16 AM »

It has casters already!
Look at the small preview pic in the main screenshot closely.
The casters are fully rotating!

A shot of those casters

Insides

Plastic 5 (real one had polycarbonate)

Yay, Stinger proof of Concept!

When direction is changed, the axe head comes over the top of the bot (like stinger) and smacks the floor!

Zog · « **Reply #309 on:** August 25, 2010, 06:11:27 AM »

I would still suggest raising the weapon higher. Otherwise, a good replica.

NFX · « **Reply #310 on:** August 25, 2010, 06:15:12 AM »

Personally, I'd make the weapon a bit longer, or the chassis a little narrower. Looks quite good, though. =)

As for Havoc, I don't think you need that much ants in there, but it's a fantastic looking replica, I must say. Well done. =D

SteveM4 · « **Reply #311 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:00:13 AM »

2 ants don't last a 5 min battle.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #312 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:02:37 AM »

I like Havoc, might do well.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #313 on:** August 25, 2010, 09:36:21 AM »

Firestorm, lightweight version found deep in my computer!
Re-skinned to look better!

Somebody · « **Reply #314 on:** August 25, 2010, 05:29:37 PM »

How much grip does that Stinger rep get? It shouldn't be much...

SteveM4 · « **Reply #315 on:** August 25, 2010, 05:34:27 PM »

Hardly any, I just put wheels on the end of an extender to see what turned out.
It turned out rubbish :P

So it Stung itself into the bin of no return!

Somebody · « **Reply #316 on:** August 25, 2010, 05:36:17 PM »

Oh well you can't win with all of 'em

SteveM4 · « **Reply #317 on:** September 14, 2010, 01:38:48 AM »

I'm back!
I have built loads of Showcase worthy bots since I was last here so I am posting a new one every day or two days!

1st, Blockage...

Helpful criticism is helpful.

Put titanium sheets or something rather than that weird lifting arm.

Also way too much metal hinges on there. 2 is enough.

And underpowered :P

Where?
On the chassis or on the arm?
