I don't quite get it. Those are just HP/weight ratios. Tite 3 still has more HP than Plastic 5, even if it's a bit less efficient.

Is it? Have I been giving out bad information?

If so, then:

CURSE YOU NARYAR!

It's not that bad. It's like saying putting aluminum armor on a bot is terribly inefficient since you can have roughly the same strength for a whole lot less weight or a whole lot more strength for just a bit more weight. Plastic 5's efficient, and Tite 3's just above average, but Tite 3 still makes a good choice since weight spent from Plastic 5 to Tite 3 is worth the HP gained.

I remember writing down a table of HP/KG ratios of all the armours.

At the moment I'm experimenting with a range of weapons and weapon systems. The chassis on the HS is as small as I was able to get it while fitting 3 ants. If you saw it in the bot lab, the ants are actually sticking out of the chassis in a few spots. Haven't put astros on it, but I may test those at some point.

I think the VS is closing in on being as good as it will get. I think I may try snagging the HS's chassis and putting the VS setup on it to see how it works.

I did have a rather good flipper in the works, but it had some issues with the front hinged wedge mesh sinking into the floor of the arena (though not on the floor flippers) so it had to be at least temporarily scrapped.

Also, if you've looked through most of my showcase, I've never really worried much about the "most efficient" way of building, and it seems to work well for me.

So, in light of the request that we build our own bots for RW2 if possible, I gave the one big bot not already in ra2(yet) a shot:

Cheaty goodness:
BFE'd chassis height to roughtly appropriate height
Ruiner's weapon motor, bar and blades(not all that cheaty since they've got the same stats as their legal counterparts)
Razor's invisible 11kg burst motor to put the motor at the right angle and location.

Sweet. Lookin' to defend your second place?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #427 on:** August 06, 2010, 07:07:40 PM »

The setup's not all that great for combat in RA2, as it's got relatively few weapon HP's, but it'll at least look good.

NFX · « **Reply #428 on:** August 06, 2010, 07:44:30 PM »

The replica actually looks quite good, given that you can't round the chassis off in RA2 at all. Nice job. =P

Same stats ? I remember Ruiner's weapon bars having double HP than the normal ones...

I'm just going by what the notes in game say about it.

Here's a few new or modified cube shaped LWs

Why ymgyP?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #433 on:** August 09, 2010, 05:09:23 PM »

I tend to randomly pick teams in NarAI when testing robots.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #434 on:** August 09, 2010, 07:48:13 PM »

Cube variant of the 12 razer flailure spinner

Edit: Too many more and I'll be able to run my own LW bracket again...

Also, alternate weapon setup-

thats cool. i fear for the extenders tho.

Somebody · « **Reply #436 on:** August 09, 2010, 08:38:14 PM »

That bottom one looks mighty unstable.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #437 on:** August 13, 2010, 01:47:23 PM »

BFE'd to shorten chassis height, magmotor was placed normally. Found a sweet spot on the mesh.

How much does it havok with a chassis that small?

Haven't seen it do it yet.
