I like how you make these bots invertible.

I think you should use only 1 wedge with FS. You only need to get into a wedge lock for FS to work.

It's just me, but every single Etek drive FS i saw failed. Or faired very averagely.

It's not the E-tek's fault. FS in general isn't that good to begin with.

BUMP :P

Well. Bumped with a fail unrealistic juggler. I would bump with something else, but thats in the 10 minute challange thread (Will update that tommorrow D:).

Titanium 3, 6 ants, NPCF, exostacked piglets (¬¬)

That is really cool. i thought that was a SHW at first. Great job.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #304 on:** November 17, 2010, 05:04:34 PM »

That looks great. I honestly cannot think of any way to improve it.

protect the flipper segments much better as they will get raped pretty fast.. (maybe a re-review of that wedge system)

oh and you haven't exo stacked the piglets.. they were allowed to move outside the robot as specified in the text file

Yay :D

And now for a bot that fails. I had hoped it would counter shell spinners, but not quite. Plastic 5, 6 potters wheels, NPC drive, 6 ants, 4 perm 80 M's.

Potters wheels don't have enough DP for what I wanted. Or perm 80's aren't strong enough. Meh.

Caaaaarl...

SKBT · « **Reply #308 on:** November 19, 2010, 03:42:36 PM »

Hmmm you just gave me an idea!

That bot does look cool. It might work better with the spinners horizontal instead but I don't know.

Erm, why is he there?!?
I'm surprised you didn't squeeze the chasis a bit tighter, there's not much weight to be saved there but still.
It does look cool though (like a lot of your bots actually)

.
Perhaps try getting rid of a few of the disks to upgrade to 130s instead.
And bigger wedges maybe, or if you want to be very bold, none at all

Try fewer PW's and perm 132's.

NFX · « **Reply #311 on:** November 19, 2010, 03:48:54 PM »

It does look a bit too wide, in my view. I think the discs should be kinda curved inward slightly, to kinda "trap" the shell spinners, so to speak.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #312 on:** November 19, 2010, 04:39:31 PM »

Potter aren't good as weapons. Putting them on motors are a huge waste of weight. DS Light on piglet deals more damage than them.

Think about it this way, motors increase damage both way on a weapon to weapon clash. So if you just want something to last longer at the cost of lower damage, keep your high DP weapon and use a weaker motor. It will have the same effect and cost less.

Potters are very good as armor though.

MassimoV · « **Reply #313 on:** November 19, 2010, 07:17:57 PM »

Are there any good rep discs or weapons?

A lot, actually. It's just a matter of which weight class they're good at. The only fail disc I know is WhirlWep's (and possibly Pussycat's, though its high DP might still pique interest).

i tried a a dual billy bot saw VS for my match with pwn the bot was a fail but the saws seemed pretty nice.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #316 on:** November 19, 2010, 11:22:48 PM »

As weapons, Saws > Rep Discs.

Naryar · « **Reply #317 on:** November 20, 2010, 04:23:15 AM »

Even the high-fracture 259 disc ?

MassimoV · « **Reply #318 on:** November 20, 2010, 10:21:25 AM »

I don't know but I've always taken a liking to it.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #319 on:** November 20, 2010, 01:27:16 PM »

I don't know, I just can't see how 250 fracture is high per say........ Almost every weapon to weapon clash can deal more than 250 damage.

Fracture is one of those things that either you reach it or you don't. fractures in the 100 range are pretty useless, while heavy plow never breaks with 2000.
