Hmm, you could downgrade the armour for better wheels atleast, probably vlads in this case.
If I were you i'd get rid of the top motor as that opens up a lot more optionsfor that bot, but it's your choice.

Not fast enough, yeah. Ditch the whole 100cm disc thing, and attach your weapons to the chassis (using a flippermaker if you need one). It's just a waste of weight.

I'm off to the botlab! Thanks everyone.

Zinc-70 looks awesome! May not be very effective, but at least you got the cool factor down.

I would put the middle weapon motor higher (perhaps use a 45 degree angle rather than 60), so the lower ones juggle bots upward and they get trapped against the top disc. Since the middle weapons won't take as many hits, you could downgrade the razors to 5 kg teeth or beater bars, and use the extra weight to make it faster (either upgrade the wheels or the drive).

I'm honored Clickbeetle. Thanks for the idea too.

I start my new team, The Noble Gasses, with Argon:

I tried to make Thorium-232 a HS

3 mm plastic
5 ants

Constructive comments are always appreciated.

Unrealistic, isn't it? And NPC Fasts w/Technos should be more than enough for a bot like this one.

MassimoV · « **Reply #87 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:13:47 PM »

It's all realistic bro. I'll change the drive now.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #88 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:14:24 PM »

What about the hammers...

NFX · « **Reply #89 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:18:25 PM »

It's not realistic. The hammer weapons are clearly going to pass through each other.

MassimoV · « **Reply #90 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:19:13 PM »

Ok I'll fix that. By the way, the drive is much better.

SKBT · « **Reply #91 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:22:32 PM »

I'd not mount everything off that shell disk. While it looks cool with one lucky hit your whole bot will fall apart. You might be better off with a stronger disk and or a better mounting method.

MassimoV · « **Reply #92 on:** December 05, 2010, 02:46:42 PM »

Thanks for the advice everyone, I made a new version:

Now I shrunk the chassis to a cube, upgraed the armor to Titanium 5 mm, added motor defence, and upgraded the disc area.

Looking good. That looks to be a static wedge though, and you would benefit from either going wedgeless or getting a better one.

powerrave · « **Reply #94 on:** December 05, 2010, 04:28:56 PM »

yeah, might want to get a better wedge there.

MassimoV · « **Reply #95 on:** December 05, 2010, 06:46:15 PM »

I'll try. It'was meant as a stablizzer though.

MassimoV · « **Reply #96 on:** December 08, 2010, 05:49:58 PM »

Here's Helium:

4 Razors
2 ants
3 mm plastic

Coments are appreciated :D.

Naryar · « **Reply #97 on:** December 08, 2010, 05:59:11 PM »

WAAAAY overkill on the hammers. That's MW-grade weaponry, not LW.

As a general rule of thumb, 2 BSGs on non-flipper LWs = unefficient.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #98 on:** December 08, 2010, 07:16:23 PM »

yeeaah you have ridiculously weak drive which means your probably going to get shunted around the arena before you can even hit anything. swap one hammer for more drive and perhaps a bit more armor/stability.

MassimoV · « **Reply #99 on:** December 08, 2010, 09:50:24 PM »

Sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the tips Naryar.
