I agree with most of those points above. Another thing which annoys me is invincible halfsheet armour, even though I use it to attach a whole robot sometimes.

Anyways, following scorpions advice of adding a weapon and making it a pure popup or VS, i made it a popup. A fairly realistic one, as they go. :P

(Image removed from quote.)

Large JX's, Tite 3, A large amount of razors. Poly angled skirts of self righting. :P

Lol, that's a nice pic, but whats the thing on the back?

Stabilisers so it doesn't fly too far back when it pops.:P

Nice touch

Can it self right? I thought the stabilizer will get in the way.

The poly skirts are attatched to the Bursts, so it self rights perfectly unless up against a wall. However, they do stop popping power in tight spaces, so when they are lost damage potential goes up a little.

It looks kinda heavy, you could probably scrap it for an independent self righting mechanism an it would be lighter.

Black Cyclone 2 is old. I'll send you Diamond Cutter for a real challenge, if you want.

Poly skirt only cost 7kg each.... You can't make an independent self right mechanism with 14kg. Nor are independent self right mechanism ever worth the KG. Burst motors + Batteries are way too expensive if you are not putting weapons/wedge on it.

Bleh, sorry major mess up there, I thought it needed the back stabilizer and the poly skirts to self right, not just the skirts

Looking good.

Just wait for King Grog :P

A possible entry for COTT, since my juggler fails.

One problem... The sirk drills intersect with the extender holding the two outer discs on (one extender on each side) :O

Will have to shelve this one then.

Scorpion · « **Reply #271 on:** October 15, 2010, 12:48:32 PM »

I hope you find a way to get that to work, it looks really cool and it'd be fun tosee it destroy some flippers in COTT

Are those the biggest disks BTW, because I tried to do something similair (the plan was for a giant nightmare) but couldn't get it to work because the front wheels kept going through the floor.

martymidget · « **Reply #272 on:** October 15, 2010, 01:32:17 PM »

I have a solution..

The extenders could be welded together to let a slot for the sirk drill to pass through. Sure, slim bet, but hey :P

And are sirk discs even in normal DSL? (I use NAR :S)

Nope, 200cm discs.

Do those snowplows ever fall of? And why are those clubs there?

(P.S - Did you get my PM?)

EDIT: 1700 posts! :O

martymidget · « **Reply #274 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:12:51 PM »

No. Not against any of the SHW's anyways. My computer just wouldnt be able to keep up in a battle between NAR's UHW and mine. :S

The clubs? For weight I suppose. And the offchance a popup breaks a razor on a club. :P

Badnik96 · « **Reply #275 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:35:26 PM »

Yes, SirK Drills are in normal DSL.

I like it though.

Naryar · « **Reply #276 on:** October 15, 2010, 02:42:04 PM »

Nice bot, nice name also

martymidget · « **Reply #277 on:** October 15, 2010, 04:13:15 PM »

Would using 'bountyhunter' be any good on a VS?

It can't self right unless you drive it backwards :/

Pwnator · « **Reply #278 on:** October 15, 2010, 09:29:26 PM »

Not sure if it works efficiently on VSes, but try it. Just use the largest SZs and put them around your bot and do the rest. :D

How much grip is on the Overkill wheels?
