Looks dope, got any better views of this saw trap system?

Here you go:

All saws are set to spin in a way that pulls the other bot deeper into the rack.

Very nice bots, Mike.

Decided to try making a MW version:

Racked up 26,000 points in 30s and finished the match by picking hypno up and dropping it outside of the arena as the disk broke. Suffice to say I was amused.

Oh dang. That's nice.

That's a lot of drive for a mw clamping sawbot.

I like them.

What's the one on the top?

Front-hinged flipper, I believe. Similar to one of the attachments for his new robot Nyx in the Real Robotics section.

I think the spinner looks a bit flimsy, though, in terms of that Perm and its attachment. I'd lighten up the hammers, personally, and invest a bit more weight in framework for the motor.

How is your motor attached on the spinner?

Multi-extender lifted as high as it can go with the ti(iirc) extenders attached to it, motor attached to the ti.

Can I get another angle?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #612 on:** January 13, 2012, 09:03:49 AM »

it'll have to wait till tonight, since I don't have RA2 on my work computer.

Flipper looks nice... I still don't get these motor-on-top spinners though...

Make that two of us.

Front-hinged flipper is awesome.

Oh, also, have my eyes gone funny or are those an wheels re-skinned so they fit with the chassis colour?

EDIT: Scratch that, no they're not.

As requested:

There may be other ways, but that's the setup I use.

So technically it is still unrealistic....

Yep, it's only considered realistic by a lot of people/tourneys because it's simulating something that can and has been done repeatedly in robot combat.

I think using Click's setup is more visually appealing for the motor... maybe if you combined that tactic with what you are trying to do here then it would look more realistic.

Or use my setup, higher chassis, place Multi extender where the Perm would attach on its side attach point. BFE chassis lower and attach perm. Then no extenders are cut by the weapon.
