I normally don't go too far into a bot's building until the chassis is correct for the amount of ants I need. (Then again sometimes I get lucky and it fits perfectly first time)

Ya, but I was just bored and needed something to do. And one I had angled the spinners I couldnt be bothered to redo the entire chassis again. XD

It looks like one of ounce's

But i liek the name.

Bump.

New bot which I need a little advice on. I know the mags are slightly off being aligned (doh) and I will fix that, but my main question is whether I should lengthen the wedge or give it hypnos when I remove the Angled Side Panel which isn't helping much. Also, I suggest you get your magnifying glass out for this one.

Tie 3, 3 ants.
It also needs a name.

Angled panel might be helpful for invertibility (when you rotate your drive properly). As for upgrading to Hypnos, it depends on whether you're gonna focus more on speed or on durability.

32 > 16*1.5. Drop the Mag and use NPC Normal.

Shiny Hub + NPC = 47 kg. Mag + Hypno = 48 kg

If you are not on NAR AI, then the 12000 HP motor obviously beats the 400.

If you are on NAR AI, you can use NPC with rubber wheel for even greater speed, at the same cost of 48kg. Plus more HP on everything.

Basically the 4 usable drive motors in game are, Astroflight, NPC Normal, NPC Fast, and E-Tek.

At least switch to TWM3's, save 6 kg of flippermakers.

Is the wedge good ? (I don't think so right now but unsure)

martymidget · « **Reply #188 on:** September 03, 2010, 01:53:07 PM »

Its not bad. Has gotten under infection 4 head on, but since I was driving an infection is a flanking machine, I lost. :P

And 123, I think I will go to NPC's+shinies

123savethewhales · « **Reply #189 on:** September 03, 2010, 02:35:19 PM »

Actually, you might want to consider NPC + Rubber if you got 2 extra KG to spare.

On DSL, Shiny has 2000 HP, while Rubber has 3000 HP.

On NAR, Shiny has 1 grip, While Rubber has 1.2 grip.

Both are worth 1 kg if you ask me.

BUMP

New bot...

Titanium 5, perm 45s, NPCF drive, 6 ants, metal hinge wedges. Called....

Pwnator · « **Reply #191 on:** September 19, 2010, 08:53:38 AM »

Perm 45s? That's new. :P

Is the plow really necessary?

martymidget · « **Reply #192 on:** September 19, 2010, 08:54:59 AM »

LOL

Dont know why but I always call perm 80s 45s. XD

Well, it does kind of help. Will try without and see what happens.

Naryar · « **Reply #193 on:** September 19, 2010, 08:57:16 AM »

Would benefit from more weapons.

The cutting teeth are worthless and you should know it :P Hell, you might even ditch all the side extender work and use 80cm plastic angled skirts for balance...

martymidget · « **Reply #194 on:** September 19, 2010, 09:01:03 AM »

The p skirts arent even there for balance there for protection from HS....XD

And meh, just realised I used baseplate anchors for them instead of multi's...definitely been playing stock too much :O

Naryar · « **Reply #195 on:** September 19, 2010, 09:02:37 AM »

That's not going to protect anything from flails :P

martymidget · « **Reply #196 on:** September 19, 2010, 04:17:03 PM »

What do you suggest mighty nar of the yar?XD

Anyways, got bored and made something that i wouldn't normally make..

Realism Questionable. But the front armour isnt mounted on the side aps of the skirt hinges, so it should be ok. Razors on the other hand..

NFX · « **Reply #197 on:** September 19, 2010, 04:56:56 PM »

Nah, HnM4 used that weapon setup. But try and extend the front wedge a bit further back, over the top of the robot, so the razors have some distance to travel and accummulate speed before they hit the opponent. I don't really like the look of the big Tite sheets on the sides, It'd be way too easy for an opponent to get under them.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #198 on:** September 19, 2010, 11:20:17 PM »

The second wedge looks like it has too much ground clearance to work against flail SnS.

Naryar · « **Reply #199 on:** September 20, 2010, 01:39:51 AM »

3 wedges are useless on HWs. 1 or 2 is fine.
