That is pretty damn cool looking

[Badnik96]

I love it.

[Kossokei]

Kommence? Kwestshuns? Konserns?

KKK

and is there any way to fill up that weight ? like more spikes around the side or something ? maybe a srimech ?

Actually, that's something I overlooked while I was building the wheel guards.. I was going to fill up the space by adding the hypno teeth onto the back bumper... things... but they were 10 kg each and I've only got the weight to add 5. Anyway, I was originally going to keep it without the wheel guards, but then I looked at JD's Steel Reign, and yeah. The wheels were sticking out enough for it to scoot around on it's sides, but now it can't do that as well...

I'll see what I can do. I thought of a cool srimech idea for it but now I don't have much space or weight to do that with.

That is pretty damn cool looking

That feel of accomplishment...

[Naryar]

Cool. Needs a srimech though.

[Philippa]

Nice bot, give it a srimech to eat up the rest of the weight.

[NFX]

Cool. It looks like something from an early Robot Wars series. Am I the only one thinking it would look better if the flags were replaced with a srimech? They look rather ungainly at the moment to me.

[Kossokei]

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I have neither the weight nor the space to add a srimech. I did manage to add some more CO2 for the pistons to eat up, and a few more weapons incase the bot gets de-weaponed, so it's now sort of a rammer/poker hybrid.



Built to weight now. Added a few typical ram-bot weapons onto the front. It's pretty hilarious to watch when fighting a clawbot, they grab onto the front bit and then after a while their weapons fall off. Armor is still the same.



I couldn't finish that off with the hypno teeth so I put those cool little cutting teeth there. Not as satisfying but they're still pretty cool. Adjusted the flag a little.



Insides. Instead of the previous 2 small tanks and 2 medium tanks, it's 4 medium tanks, I believe.



More insides from a different angle. Nothing extremely new.

The flag actually acts as sort of a rollcage, which I thought was hilarious. I didn't know it had a hitbox/collision mesh. That being said, it doesn't always work.

that's amazing

Foul language removed .... User warned!!!

[Celestial Panda]

Looks like Steel Avenger without an axe.

[Kossokei]

You know, I'm almost tempted to get someone to skin it...

..almost..

[Scrap Daddy]

honestly ill gladly hook people up with skins if they build something as cool as this gj dog

[Mr. AS]

looks hecka fly

An IRL Sheck Spinner?

With a mockup chain system using axels?

IRL?!?!

Meet Dragon Breath


So it may not be IRL, but it's sort of testing a concept, you see, there was this one bawt that was featured on Robot Wars that was a Sheck Spinner, like this one. The name? I have no clue, but it had mace balls attached to chains that smacked stuff while the bot was spinning, and that's sort of the concept here.



So, that's a ball mace on 2 180 degree axels, the second one being placed perpendicular to the first, all of which placed on a 360 degree axel. To get them to look like that I had to spin the shell a little bit so you could see the chain in its full glory. It's really pretty in action, I won't lie. It's also ineffective as , like IRL 



Because of the shell, that's as much of the inside that I can manage to show without ripping apart the entire shell and having to rebuild it. The whyachi motor is fully powered, because that's a rule of IRL or something like that, and those are slimbody motors. It's not as slow as you think but it doesn't move much so it doesn't really matter.



Here's some more of the outside, closer to the chain. The 360 swivels, The first 180 can go up, down, left and right, just not behind itself/through itself. Whatever angle the first 180 can go, the second 180 can only go 90 degrees in one direction or 90 degrees in the other, and will always be perpendicular to the first, so it can't go through itself. And since the bot will be on the ground (derp?) the weapon won't and shouldn't collide with the first 180 degree axel. It's very simple but the explanation is a little complicated.

The only problem with this being IRL is because it's a shell spinner and therefor hard as to penetrate with another IRL bot, and can be just a tad more effective than the other IRL bots out there. And, because of the axels and the speed at which the shell is spinning, the axels like to flex out according to the weight of the ball maces. So like I said, it may not be IRL, but it's an interesting concept that I wanted to play with for a little and I made this thing.

That being said, the weapons aside from the protective razors on top and the hypnodisk teeth bordering the disk like a bawss, this bot really sucks at doing damage. It just looks cool. Seriously.

[Tweedy]

It looks pretty cool but the dual axels will make it havok like , I've tried that system on bots before and they just explode whenever they lose a weapon.
The bot on RW was mauler by the sounds of it btw.

[Naryar]

You called it Dragon's Breath and it has no flamethrowers ???

[Kossokei]

In hindsight I should've called it Maelstrom or something... This bot is keeping with the Medieval theme that the Taking Siege had, it's part of team called The Legion or something like that. I plan for all of The Legion's bots to be IRL because it'd be cool to be a newbie like me and have a Live Designs AI team...

I'm pretty sure it was Humdrum :P

[MassimoV]

Looks pretty cool. I like it.

[Kossokei]

Two bots, one challenge for ye peoples.


Meet Assassiness, a MW IRL Rammer thingy. Ain't she pretty? Say Yes. She'll punch out all of your blood and break your spine if you say No. She's got a full set of ti3 armor, with details that would make Da Vinci cry, and then battle scars that would make him cry even more.


Look at that booty. Most of the weight is on the front of her, the Double teeth acting as casters, sort of. Because the teeth are so close to the ground, and they're well... weapons... it's sort of hard to out-wedge her by traditional IRL wedginess standards, and if you wanna try, have fun losing your wedges  And if you've got a chassis wedge... May the lord be merciful on your soul 


Insides. 3 or 4 ants, Hypno wheels, TWM3R's. Beautiful piece of machinery, she is. It's funny, the double edged teeth are the only things that do damage on her, but when they're gone, damage is still done. She's magical...


More insides + her beautiful blades.

Anyway, a few problems. The Flipper makers are weak and the entire front piece can be destroyed in a few very lucky swings, she's very susceptible to vertical hammers, SS, and fighting flipper bots can be a hassle, because she's neither invertible nor self-righting. That being said, it's hard to get under her unless you're behind her, which creates another problem, her back is very exposed. On the good side, she's very very grippy, maneuverable, fast and the wheels are hard to knock off.

I'll post the second bot after a few comments.

[MassimoV]

Nice work. Like the skin too.

[Badnik96]

Love it.
