that looks vile but doesn't seem like a practical change. if i change the front wedge setup to extenders i'll probably just waste more weight/have much too fragile a setup

I'll play around with the back though to see what I can get out of it.

also at this point I don't think there is any point digging up more weight except for chassis armour. adding any more mechavore disks is basically impossible/stupid
Mechavore disks are the new Razors at this point, can't have enough of them :P

Actually, you can - The ceiling seems to be 2 for LW's, 4 for MW's, 8 for HW's & 12 for SHW's, and even then, that's with extreme weight reduction. 6 is the most you can practically have on a HW (as demonstrated in my showcase) without having to make serious compromises.

yeh i'm trying to keep the same overall setup at the front

newest version, same 4 mechavore disks but they overlap again :((( Rest of the bot is pretty mean and it's heavily simplified in most regards. Back is much thinner than before as well.

Looks siiiiick! Nicely done!

Doublewheels don't really do anything, it's just a waste. Get rid of the double wheels, and then blow the rest of the weight on armour.

They don't add any more grip? Oh well they do add armor at least.

was watching some of Robot Wars series 4 and after watching Dominator 2's heat decided to make a generic axebot. Plastic 5, very unstable when firing the axe but can do horizontal somersaults if rotating whilst doing it so it's all good  :cool:

Double Torque Reaction Hammer. Firing the weapon sends the heavy spike forwards and the sledges back, and then the swing back brings the sledges back forwards. Sadly AGOD as always restricts the use of this one

Is that the next banned bot type?

dsl 2.1 juggler. figured using an inline setup for the spinners would help reduce torque problems and get the extenders to be stronger for the same weight more or less. wedges suck

good ol 2.1. shame all the zoomers hate it and and all the nu-boomers tried to appropriate it for 2.2

any reason you went with a hex skirt setup over spamming firestorm flippers
DSL-IRL is the libtard’s meta. Go drink more soylent, retard! #BLUELIVESMATTER

bobby bugatti.jpg

from the same chassis as the last one, sorta a flipping wammer
pushes them to a wall and then the skirt hinge flexes and they flip. also doubles as a wedge remover
 
innards.jpg

6wd version of the same thing. flips better if nothing else

pretty good successor. questioning the choice of iron spikes plus steel shirts on the same wedge though. something about other wedges getting under it, as well as using beater bars as wedge attachments, i understand they're tougher but if something goes under you, you're probably ****ed (would just use a 80cm Steel skirt or something)

Yeh i wish small wedges weren't so low HP but hey
the beaters are good the wedge isn't basically
would add firestorm flippers if they weren't garbage in 2.1

Bobby 3.jpg

new bot from the bobby bugatti chassis. nice and destructive, okay wedge. plastic 3 iirc
 
Justice.jpg

narmoured (yikers) angled VS. might be too fast but is at least fairly durable thinks to the lame narmour
 
Milkchurn.jpg

tracked de-weaponer. not too slow, just wide enough, reasonably destructive. plastic 1 but who really cares when its got the potters wheel discs
 
Coreblade v2.jpg

revised version of coreblade. alu 10 armour or something

Raphael.jpg

concept bot
another attempt at getting a TRFBD to have the rotation of the weapons to be so that they hit downwards whilst the robot moves forward, which would make it far less likely to be deweaponed
stable enough but the spinners have too much torque so it ends up being really slow. assumedly if i downgraded the weapon motor (mag probably) or upgraded the drive (e-tek) it'd work better
