I think you out VS'ed me...

How's the stability when it hits something. I've always found 120 cm skirts too small in that setup.

[dare i ask] how far does that toss bots ? i can imagine that theyd go flying halfway across the dsl tourney arena lengthwise

Oh god, I was confused trying to figure out why one of the hammers was floating :p

MassimoV · « **Reply #643 on:** September 12, 2012, 08:42:49 PM »

The stability is pretty good though it does sometimes bounce around after a big hit. And yeah, it tosses things pretty far...

Why the 4 hammers? Why not 2? If you lose one you're screwed anyways.

How do you know how far it tosses thongs? XD

I like it, even though its similar to Punterator...

Hasn't been done before. Well anyways, I decided to go back to my old nemisis, the flipper.

Huge HW punter:

I think you can put the 2nd bar like as if it's the 1st bar's shield, like this:
I I
I I
I I
I I
I I
And EffE the third and 4th hammer on the 2nd bar.

The bouncing around are the most powerful moments for a VS.

Naryar · « **Reply #651 on:** September 14, 2012, 04:05:38 AM »

you need moar stabilizers

Scorpion · « **Reply #652 on:** September 14, 2012, 05:29:54 AM »

I agree with the stabilizer points, especially considering you've mounted your drive on there.
Stabilizing large VS like that one is always the most difficult part of making such bots.

MassimoV · « **Reply #653 on:** September 14, 2012, 09:43:05 PM »

Any suggestions on how I should mount the stabilizers? I don't know what I should do with the problem. Oh and I decided to make a SnS CW:

yea

hows controlled movement on that ? ive tried 2wd crawlers and theyve only been able to turn left and right, or is there a stabilizer on there, and does it get stuck on its sides often ?

MassimoV · « **Reply #656 on:** September 15, 2012, 07:31:11 PM »

The movements pretty good and it doesn't normally get stuck on its side. There is a pull to either side though when it bounces around.

MassimoV · « **Reply #657 on:** September 15, 2012, 08:22:00 PM »

Probably my SW2 entry:

Pwnator · « **Reply #658 on:** September 15, 2012, 09:07:09 PM »

Seems pretty brittle for an unrealistic bot. I was kinda expecting a dual HS for a nice mix of defense and reach.

MassimoV · « **Reply #659 on:** September 15, 2012, 09:20:41 PM »

Then I'd be copying Conraaa.
