What motors?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Not too bad. Might be a tad slow, but I reckon it should do fairly well.

I think that generally it doesn't matter how fast the motors are; it's generally the weight offset which occurs when the slightly heavier side is thrown forwards. Faster motors aften cause bots like this which are ever so slightly unbalanced to jump in the air.

Both are cool designs, though Heavily Armoured Rat could be build more efficiently.

That wasn't really the point of it:P

I'd also like to take a moment to thank everyone who has given me constructive criticism these last 7 months. I feel as if I've progressed a tonne.

Kinda interesting one this time, based on the observation that face spinners mounted on servos can lift unlike standard lifters. That basically means it can lift UHWs.


Basic idea is to lift the opponent with the servo then slam it either against the wall or OOTA (it's quite good at the latter due to the upward angled razors.


Not really all that efficient but the wedges are fantastic and it's very fun to drive.

Nah, just build a similar bot, it's extremely easy.

Lawl, really it was just there to kill weight, since this wasn't exactly a serious build, but more of an experiment.

Cann I just clear this up then, putting a motor on the end of a servo somehow makes it able to actually lift other bots?

Might lift better if you have 2 on 2 sides instead of just 1 in the center.  I wonder if crusher is possible with something similar.

No, Servo's can lift things when the actual lifter is attached like a FS, like on the lovely insides pic I provided.

Might lift better if you have 2 on 2 sides instead of just 1 in the center.  I wonder if crusher is possible with something similar.

I think the radius of the lifter would be more important for that, though I can see why multiple lifters would be good on a heavier bot class.
Anyway, I wanted the actual lifter to be at the same height as the wedges, rather than higher, just so it could get under things better.

HUGE BOT DUMP (Images are not cropped since I do not have the patience to do all of them. Luckily, they're in a nice spoiler box for you).
You know, 'cus I may as well shamelessly promote my building.

Have fun reading; discuss, criticize, ect.
