Bunch of newish bots, forgot that I'd already posted the SHW in the back.

Looks pretty cool.

Pretty interesting concepts there...

The bot in the bottom-right corner - Looks cool. Is it a flipper or popup?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #684 on:** May 01, 2012, 01:53:11 PM »

Flipper. I was trying different setups for a MW IRL flipper. The one to the left of it and the one in the middle row on the left are from the same tests.

Woah, nice to see you building so much still.

That flipper with the Wedge of Doom arm is cool.

Looking spectacular. Only problem I can see is the beaters on the flipper segments in the middle impeding the bot from one pair of drums. If you attach them flat, then I reckon the drums could come into play more often. Axle-mounted Spike Strips also look cool, though might not be terribly effective.

The top of the beaters on the flipper sit just a hair lower than the teeth on the actual drum, so it doesn't seem to hurt it much, it also reduces pressure on the drums when you've got a HW sitting on them, meaning the drums tend to keep their speed better.

Is this IRL or efficient?

"MikeNCR's Legendary Bots" indeed.
and you could just keep bots in there and grind them up. :D

liking the 2nd setup more

MassimoV · « **Reply #695 on:** May 10, 2012, 06:18:51 PM »

I look at these and I'm like, what? They're so freaking insane.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #696 on:** May 10, 2012, 06:25:29 PM »

ok this is amazingness.

NFX · « **Reply #697 on:** May 11, 2012, 03:51:11 AM »

I do prefer the looks of the second one, personally. It's like a big dragon-looking thing. Beater Bars don't appear to fit, in my view, but that's the only worry for me. What's attached to the Judge Bursts on the second one? (I assume that's what they are.)

So it's a triple hybrid, wammer/flipper/flamethrower ? That's pretty damn cool, I should build one of these.

Both are built on the same platform, which includes two flipping arms attached to the bursts.

Bot on the left would need custom AI to use, as the intent is to grab with the mag snapper arms, hold for a few seconds, then flip.
