yay you finally built something

Lawl I started this trend really.
It looks too thin and the chassis wedges look too long. If you look at may RIW3 bot, it has the chassis wedges angled slightly outwards from the main body. That should get you enough width without wasting weight on widening the whole chassis.
I'd also try and angle the weapons on each hex plate slightly upwards (on the top plates by using the side attachment point on the side of the beater bar) as it means the light DS tooth would be making contact instead of the beater, dealing more damage.

Thing is, I'm trying not to klone here. And the way the beaters are set up on the flatbed part maximises the surface in contact- at the moment the beaters and the ds teeth hit the underside at the same time, the other way only the ds teeth hit. However, thats logical, so it probably doesn't apply.

To be fair I don't know why I didn't think of using weapons to feed into the flatbed part beforehand. And I've been building jugglers for 2 years.

too slow

ty4er · « **Reply #764 on:** April 08, 2012, 09:24:26 AM »

4wd npcf with hypnos is not too slow

Naryar · « **Reply #765 on:** April 08, 2012, 09:29:32 AM »

Oh, it has 4WD ? My bad, I thought it had 2WD :P

martymidget · « **Reply #766 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:53:25 PM »

Because snazzy chassis.

madman3 · « **Reply #767 on:** April 08, 2012, 04:57:46 PM »

Gah, make the chassis wider, not thinner:P

Celestial Panda · « **Reply #768 on:** April 09, 2012, 05:43:01 AM »

This'll probably sound silly but I really like the pattern of the beater bars. The wheel placement/ chassis design is cool too.

It's Crazy~

madman3 · « **Reply #770 on:** April 09, 2012, 07:20:32 AM »

It looks even more like mine now :P

And therein lies my problem. So I decided to experiment with other potential juggler designs.

Plastic 5, 4 ants, NPC-F, Dual-mags, and possibly the coolest juggler setup I've ever built. Doesn't like to leave things go, either. Comes with halfsheet bottom protection, and shell panels for the front and back. Not that much will get there until the rest of the bot is shredded.

agod ololololo

looks cool, how does it go about getting flipped

FOTEPX · « **Reply #773 on:** April 09, 2012, 11:55:55 AM »

DAAAAM That's cool

For some reason, I think it should be called be Damascus.

MassimoV · « **Reply #774 on:** April 09, 2012, 12:24:01 PM »

Awesome! Great idea mounting the motors on the discs.

powerrave · « **Reply #775 on:** April 09, 2012, 12:51:59 PM »

It kinda looks like a race car.. In some way. Really cool design.

martymidget · « **Reply #776 on:** April 16, 2012, 04:30:59 PM »

AGOD can go die.

Uses a shallower angle and lower stance to make gut ripping easier, a longer wedge to accomodate, and faster drive while sacrificing large beater bars for medium ones. The discs also spin the opposite way to what you would expect.

MassimoV · « **Reply #777 on:** April 16, 2012, 04:35:42 PM »

Looks really cooll. Why the opposite spinning?

martymidget · « **Reply #778 on:** April 16, 2012, 04:42:56 PM »

I found it seems to gut rip faster that way. It works a bit like a shark tooth- it seems to do more damage when the other bot tries to move away, so I help it along a bit. The drive is sufficient to keep it under the other bot. In practice- if it doesn't do as well while AI'd, I'll make them spin the other way :P

BUILDING SPREE

Rather Large Mouse 2- adapted for HW. 14 ants, NPCF, everything else you can see. And yes, that is Al 3. What are you gonna do about it?
