Looks nice, but how well do the lifters get under stuff? I've never had much luck with flipper segments alone, and I usually end up using small wedges on the tips of custom flippers.

Absolutely terribly. But if it does find its way under, the recipient will need a parachute :D

Back to DSL standard...



P3, 4 ants, NPC standard...the rest you can see.

Knowing this and with Iron Apocalypse around the corner, I feel a bit trollish... :trollface

[reversepsychology]As for the robot itself, it looks too good to need small wedges[/reversepsychology]

No. Large beater is fine, and has the added effect of not wobbling after 10 seconds of contact, also higher fracture and this setup protects the disc better.

I however think protecting motors with these weak discs is doing it wrong.

I don't think he's protecting the motors with the discs, he's attaching the motors to the discs!

(after i'll get home i'll start working on a juggler team for 123AI V2).

O rly ? Then if he isn't, why does he use discs when he has far better extender choices to attach the motors ?

I think it should be pretty obvious that he's using the discs as both a mounting point for the motors and for protection. 4-Mags aren't the most durable of motors, so once the disc goes the motor would soon follow.

Lol, all this because I started off with an idea "Why don't I try making a VS with disc stabilisers?" that turned into this :P

Na your team will stay.  123AI is not an community pack and will not be.

I mean, we already have NAR AI as a community pack.  Please send teams there instead.  I do not want 123AI to be a NAR AI alternative.

That reminds me to sort out a couple of teams for NAR...

Anyhoo, this.


p3, Standard NPCs, 8 ants. Thinking of a rebuild with just 2WD NPCF + technos.

Remember this?

That VS of mine was awful, 1 hit aside.

As for the bot, <3. Will have to nick that idea for Grog, the Unleashed.

there's this skirt extender thing.  You can add it to the 2 end of your skirts and place the firestorm flipper further out.

Yeah they only got 400 hp but they really won't get hit behind a firestorm flipper anyway.

Correct xD

Productive evening, this...

Neurotoxin. Needs a cool front decal..



NPC normals, 7 ants, P5, Halfsheet on the bottom because popups are annoying, 22 Light BBs, 22 Razors. Will probably angle the Ploughs slightly less.
