I think it would get destroyed by anything.

Of course it would. I was just saying especially HS incase you were being serious.

Hey look it's a random SHW VS.

Swarfiga, 1088kg, Steel 10, NPC-Fasts w/ Tornados, blah blah blah.

Just a messabout.

Merrick, take a break. Wheels don't go on the disc.

Merrick · « **Reply #403 on:** July 14, 2013, 07:53:37 PM »

I'm fully aware.

It was an aesthetics experiment for disc support.

MassimoV · « **Reply #404 on:** July 14, 2013, 07:54:19 PM »

Well it looks ugly.

Merrick · « **Reply #405 on:** July 14, 2013, 07:55:42 PM »

Fair enough. Then it's a failed experiment then.

MOVE ON GUYS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

I dunno... I kinda like it, but not that much, only a li'l.

It's not really creative, it's every VS built by a new guy with some wheels on the discs.

Well no one's used vlad spikes for wheels. If I did, would that make it good?

of course not

that would affect your bot's performance. What he's doing here, is taking the look of the (I can't remember the name of those wheels for the life of me) wheel and using it as sort of hub to connect the extender to the belt of the perm, finishing off the whole feigned-motor-support thing.

It also makes sense. Vlad spikes for wheels, however, does not make sense.

I agree with Koss. I liked it.

Shhh.... Go to sleep MassimoV, you're drunk.

I think it looks great.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #415 on:** July 15, 2013, 05:29:09 AM »

I like it as well. Ignore MassimoV.

Domanating · « **Reply #416 on:** July 15, 2013, 06:17:44 AM »

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with the majority. Originality wins over usefulness. Also those wheels look like anything but wheels, honestly. They seem to fit better in contraption of cogwheels and chain wheels.

I like it as well but there's only one thing that bothers me. It's the first IRL bot I see that makes me say that it looks under-weaponed for a SHW

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #417 on:** July 15, 2013, 06:26:42 AM »

I would downgrade the armor so that it would be a HW.

Merrick · « **Reply #418 on:** July 15, 2013, 07:17:32 AM »

Changes:

- Steel extenders downgraded to aluminium.
- Discs lighter, uses beater bars.
- Ti5.
- 799.1kg

Domanating · « **Reply #419 on:** July 15, 2013, 07:54:59 AM »

That's very nice.

I do have one final complaint, though, if I may.

Now that the front support extenders are longer, to allow those larger discs, I think they now look too flimsy and weak to support that structure plus the torque of 2 high power motors. I think that it's just too much stress for IRL standards.

I suggest adding one additional extender for each support and create a triangle shape from the tip to the chassis.
