Might do that, slightly wider attack radius, and extra protection for the mags..:P

EDIT:Doing that, the beater bars go through the mags, so not entirely realistic. Damn XD

Instead of using tite extenders, just use medium MEs. Saves weight and has much more HP. :P

Thats right...its been updated again XD

Now titanium 5 armour, 10 ants for a little extra power, side panels which I may ditch, all weapons are on a single mag. May downgrade armour and do something else to get dual mags for the Backlash Discs, but that may make it too good at throwing things around, which isnt the main thing I want it to do. There is some empty space in the chassis as I had tried several different setups before hand. But not much. Suggestions?

I preffered the first version

martymidget · « **Reply #144 on:** August 02, 2010, 04:22:34 PM »

What, the 4 sawed one? It looks cool, but its not very good. The weapons normally last about 30 seconds on that one, which isnt enough time to KO anything much. On this one the weapons last much longer than the first one, and slightly longer than the last one. It has better armour and everything (wedges!:D) over the 2nd one. XD

I do love the way that thing looks. Though I can't tell what the spiky things are in the middle, are they Lightning Spikes?

martymidget · « **Reply #146 on:** August 02, 2010, 04:32:05 PM »

That they are- razors were too long, DSL teeth werent long enough/didnt last long enough for me and I cant think of any other 7kg weapons :P. Plus I like the way Lightning Spikes look like teeth/fangs.

Another update on the bot. I love this thing.:P

Improved the wedges to 80cm angled steel skirts, upgraded the weapons to irons (because I felt the FS needed more reach). Downside is the armour is now tie 3 again. But im not too bothered, as this is what happened with me testing it...and hopefully the AI does the exact same. XD

Pity it didnt destroy it, but it was going that way. Only lost a backlash disc :P

I still don't know which is the flankiest and wedgiest bot in NAR AI. Dies Irae outwedges HnM4, but HnM is adept at flanking due to its relatively short stance.

Aaaanwaaay, you might want to swap the positions of the FSes and VSes. Saws can't return damage from the sides, and you might even want to angle the FSes slightly upward for extra coolness. XD

The discs are there to correct a problem which SD pointed out with the second version- they protect the mags nicely. And how much HP do they have in DSL (or are they cheatbot 2 parts:P) since I build exclusively in NAR AI but for DSL tournaments. :P

As for the wedgiest bot.. FnF can be very wedgy- I'v ehad bots which have outwedged HNM4 but not outwedged FnF. It all depends on the placement really, though I have found that Fat Rat is stupidly wedgy. Though this bot does outwedge that one..sometimes....:P

Backlash discs fall off pretty quickly, and are hard to attach sometimes with the funky attachment points. Try Mechavore discs and see how it does. (They have about twice as much HP I think).

martymidget · « **Reply #151 on:** August 03, 2010, 08:54:21 AM »

Well, it seems to be going well at the moment.....Not even narmour will protect you..

I did use mechavore discs before, and I might try them again to see what happens :D

Its definitely going to go into a tournament :D

Lol NARmour would be much more God Mode if he sink in everything (other than the skirt connection point) by 1 square.

martymidget · « **Reply #153 on:** August 04, 2010, 03:06:31 PM »

I decided I would try and make the new Clowning Around. Intended to be not as high, better drive, no snowplough on the back, its ended up looking very similar to infcon 7...But enough of that, I got bored of trying to fix a realism issue between the weapons and tried something else for the luls. I think you would classify this is a HS..

And no, its not effective. The real bot will be coming soon :P

That's odd, all my bots had no problem outwedging FnF, and Swordfish tends to have a better wedge than Fat Rat.

So, the next generation of clowning around is finally here and nearly fine tweaked. Unfortunately, I could only find one picture of it...

Nomming its father :P

Lets see how much info you can deduce from that picture....:P

Vertigo · « **Reply #157 on:** August 05, 2010, 01:28:36 PM »

Not a lot

Pwnator · « **Reply #158 on:** August 06, 2010, 02:21:50 AM »

4NPCFs, a Firestorm flipper as the holder, with 10 Lightning teeth, 8 heavy DS teeth and 8 small BBs on 2 TWMR2s. I think.

martymidget · « **Reply #159 on:** August 06, 2010, 07:44:58 AM »

Ever so close- Just normal Mags, as I couldn't fit the big boys in. Not much difference in damage I find either, since its basically a FS pointing upwards.

It has about 7/8 ants for extra power as a juggler needs all the speed it can get, and it has titanium 5. I think.
