SHW popup, titanium 5. I'll let you work out the rest as I'm feeling lazy. Efficiency is unknown for now, thanks to AGOD. And about the bears, I was thinking about A'bear at the time..

Skis FTW!  (those are really handy for protection.)

I rather like it.  Poor wedges are all funked out probably due to AGOD.  Looks like it has potential when it is happy.

Skis are kinda useless as they are right now. You have more than enough armor with the 2 heavy plows.

Unsure about the efficiency of katanas as well.

Replace katanas with BEAR CLAWS.  Come on this bot is about BEARS.

As for the skies, yeah they aren't very useful.  You gain more protection by investing 5kg on another skirt hinge, and widen the second wedge by removing the overlapping.

Then again, it's doesn't matter that much if it can get under flail SnS consistently.

Craaig helped me to overcome builders block, cos he is cool like that. I've been meaning to update Eye Eye for a while, but this bot turned out differently enough to be called Eyelid Lid. Yeah, go figure. Any ideas on how to lighten the extender work/make it more realistic? I could use DS teeth instead and angle the perms a little more, but we shall see. Top armour is the highest priority, followed by realism and back stabilisers. And yes, those static razors are there for decoration XD

Titanium halfsheet on the bottom instead of casters, and try and work off that instead?
Definately try and move the wheels further back, rather than move the weapons forward, and also changethe wedge, if you want to keep it similair, i'd still recommend changing the flipper makers for a half sheet, so if the wedge comes off, your big ol' wedge isn't useless.
Personally, i'd change the razorz for small ds teeth anyway, but it's your choice ;P
And you should try and upgrade to titanium 3 aswell.

It did have two half sheets, but they had to be changed to casters because of weight issues. :P

The rest of your suggestions make it more generic, 'cept i need the ds teeth XD

Well, there's a reason why all the bots end up looking that way.  It's just the cheapest way of doing things.

Although yeah, but lack of efficiency can only be justified with extra creativity or extra eye candyness ;P

It can probably be made invertible if you try.

Thought I'd throw in some bots I made while trying to get back into the swing of things. Well, 2 anyways.



The top right one is months old...and I still <3 it :D

And a new one, a half failed experiment.



Those are NPCF and perm 132s. Did have drive e-teks at one point, but then I couldn't armour it as much. Anti popup skis :D. Fails against VS, drums, anything that deweapons it (like most things) and probably hammers.


I should build me some LWs and MWs..
