You're right, but he also tried a type of wedge in where the wedge was more against the ground, holding the front of the bot up, and that outwedged everything if I read that right (not sure if that's what madman was going for)

I'm sure that one was with using only the center APs too.

While the test was 2 part, center AP was by far more important than the angle.

I mean, all you gotta do is, flip the angle wedge outward and put it on the center AP, then run it against what you got. The center AP will win every time.

Yeah, I wasn't denying it, I just forgot to use it, though it isn't too bad atm either.

Plastic 3 I think. Perms are 132s, works pretty well, wedges seem decent.

That beater bar seems arbitrary. I'd squeeze in a plow there, both for protection and for trapping.

It's not arbitrary at all, it's for trapping opponent's wedges.

and clearly he had NO WEIGHT so he did not used a plow.

Madman's showcase? It's not 2012...anyways it looks good. I don't know how well the discs protect the chassis. If they don't I'd move them in a bit.

Alu 3, perm 80, 5 ants. Everything else is visible. Slightly troll dances but not drastically. Decent defence and offense.

Man, this bot is an example, you could perhaps improve the gun, but I have not much more to say, beautifulll!

They work well enough, it seems.

Felt like making some weirder stuff than my usual jugglers or popups, so here's a trackbot and probably my best TRFBD in a long time.

Titanium 5, 5 ants. It's far from optimal (notably the shell spinner pieces, which I could replace with some underside weapons), and, well, it's a trackbot, but it's effective against gutrippers.

Dunno why but this configuration seems to have a higher damage output than some others. Also weapon spread is good, not too thin or too spread out. Need to test it against SS.

Welcome back madman!

I'm confused as to how the first one can be effective against gutrippers; its wedges don't look like they can get under much. Also what's the point of the two razors on the Perms? They're not going to protect anything or cause any damage in that placement.

I don't really know what to say about the TRFBD since I've never made one myself, but I imagine it's very deadly given that it has the same weaponry as RPP. Speaking of which, how well does it do against flail SnS?

Naryar · « **Reply #391 on:** March 15, 2015, 07:10:35 PM »

first is somewhat weird, especially the wedges

madman3 · « **Reply #392 on:** March 16, 2015, 06:04:24 AM »

The wedges are surprisingly okay, but the main thing is that it's very front heavy - a bot gets under it, and travels quickly towards the chassis. The bot then kind of pivots on the skirts on the side, and it then has its weapons in the right spot to deweapon gutrippers. I've updated it yesterday so I'll post that up later when I'm back from school. Razors on the perms are there to look good and make it funkier :)

Badly but that whole bot type matchup is miserable. They typically do well against every other bot type and can sometimes beat Sns (the TRFBD's wheels get removed, then the SnS just hits the external weapons and occasionally this leads to outweaponing)

Made a new bot, juggler/fs hybrid

Pretty fast and weapons last longer than I expected vs spinners. Plastic 5, 8 ants. Good against gutrippers.

Also another update on le trackbot

There's an even newer version with 80cm angled polys attached to the front of the tracks for stability, but I can't remember what I changed between that and this otherwise XD

the first bot has the naryar man seal of approval

also beetleweights are an inferior weightclass.

Another new bot, gone back to jugglers

Really fast and has a ridiculous damage output, but the wedges are a little off (I might have messed up a light ds tooth angle or something that's throwing off the balance), armour is plastic 1 and it gets deweaponed really fast. Good vs Gutrippers and other non spinners that don't have many weapons.

Naryar · « **Reply #399 on:** March 18, 2015, 06:04:47 PM »

>le green control board face

also i don't think rotating small DS teeth changes the balance of the bot. i'm more thinking each component has a single center of gravity where RA2 applies gravity and other forces, else calculations would be completely crazy.
