A rough first idea of the revised Pandemic.

Now with aluminium skirts, Ti 1, and some sort of spinny razor thing.

Yes, the skirts aren't aligned. The next revision will fix that, along with a better weapon.

Change weapon motor to piglet, remove the 2 rear skirts, add 2 razors on your weapon.

Something like this?

Mr. AS · « **Reply #163 on:** May 17, 2013, 06:25:21 PM »

yes almost exactly like that. but with 3 ants between the mags instead of 2 battlepacks.

Naryar · « **Reply #164 on:** May 17, 2013, 06:32:14 PM »

actually go with 4 ants and get angled steel skirts.

if you can't because of the weight limit, get a Ti sheet at the middle

Merrick · « **Reply #165 on:** May 17, 2013, 06:35:32 PM »

Exactly the same weight.

what is this i don't even

Remember when I said I'd start attempting to build efficient 'bots, while listening to any advice I was given?

That was a fun 10 minutes. Back to the old routine.

Like Bigger Brother but with A LOT of pointy things. I like it.

If this is standard, it needs a smaller chassis, and alot more weapons.

It's an attempt at efficient IRL.

Anyway, what up post #300. (this is madness)

Everybody seems caught up on planning their next Battlebots entries despite the current one having finished roughly 48 hours ago. I figured, what the

, let's have a bit of a practice and join in. See what I've learnt from the tournament, etc.

Here are some rough prototypes and ideas that I want to incorporate into potential futute designs. Wham's possible RW tournament is one I have my eye on as well.

Et voila.

I've gotten a couple of ideas buzzing in my head so more to come later.

Man, harvester looks awesome. We should make a bit together sometime.

MassimoV · « **Reply #171 on:** May 25, 2013, 07:57:12 PM »

How'd you get the chassis on the hammer to do that?

madman3 · « **Reply #172 on:** May 26, 2013, 02:23:22 AM »

Maxwell's looks damn good, as with Fluorescent, you're pretty good at nailing the aesthetics of bots.

Harvester is perhaps a little too messy to look good, maybe with some fine touches on the extender work (maybe some small ds teeth on the extender ends or something) will make it look better. Still, pretty good.

Large H-shaped chassis. Very simple.

lol what up double post

Have some DSL 3.

Kossokei · « **Reply #175 on:** May 26, 2013, 10:28:37 AM »

Yep. I came.

Try using a disk on that second bot if you wanna use those teeth; might look better.

What's worrying is that this is one of the best compliments I've recieved.

I haven't really grasped the new battery consumption stuff with the new DSL yet, so I figured I'd just go with as many as the weight would allow. Keep the flipper going at full pelt for as long as possible, y'know?

Yeah, like that and move the weapon motor up a little farther, then it'll be fine.

That flipper rocks my socks.

Merrick · « **Reply #179 on:** May 28, 2013, 06:34:38 AM »

I don't even know what I was thinking when I made this one. I don't even think the weapon is IRL.

ANYWAY.

Terminal Traction, 1199.3kg, Alu 10.

Some sort of axe/spinner hybrid? I'm not sure.
