it's ok, i guess. more on the tough side and less on the spam weapon side. 5mm plastic.

edit: it has normal npc's

roflmao mnb reported you for not building a hybrid

Would prefer wider supports, but hexes are much weaker than discs, so I guess this is probably the best you can do with durable components in mind.

you can probably use the new armour plates, as they have a better hp for weight than skirts iirc

Naryar · « **Reply #2543 on:** March 19, 2016, 08:14:52 AM »

it's unstable when it spins in the direction i want it to spin but stable when it spins in the direction I don't want it to spin :P

every time i build a 2-bar SnS this happens...

And yes, I made it a SnS instead of a thwack. Because let's be honest, SnS>thwack, and the only reason to build a thwack is to hybrid it with a frontal attack bot such as rammer.

otherwise, NPC fasts, 1 WP836E, probably can downgrade it to a battlepack, and I think 3mm plastic.

next to come, RED ALERT and SaberTeeth

Naryar · « **Reply #2544 on:** March 19, 2016, 10:56:36 AM »

alright, i've stopped building averagely

RED ALERT 3 (or should it be 4 ? maybe). NPCF, 10mm plastic. it's pretty tough. perfectly invertible, the weapons do not touch the ground so i consider this a success

Smilodon.

3mm alu, npcf. i couldn't effe 3 ice picks on each extender (for some reason, maybe it's the touchpad that's doing that) so i went with this superior weapon setup.

and yes, it aims for the wheels.

and i have no idea on how can I be so active bot building wise

Naryar · « **Reply #2545 on:** March 22, 2016, 12:28:53 PM »

improved some of my former builds

civil uproar. 4 ants, 3mm alu. it's somewhat in between the stock civil disobedience and the DSL civil uprising. couldn't make it an undercutter with the stock design so i made it a wammer/HS.

i think it's pretty cool. not the most efficient use of weight but who cares about that when you're trying to build interesting designs.

devil 5, now with less huge chassis and more weapons. wedge is also longer and it has some bottom protection in case the wedge is poor. 3mm plastic.

also important : it looks badass. it doesn't even need a skin, the plastic basic one is fitting with the original devil :D

the new ripblade. think it has 1mm aluminium or something, normal npc's.

quite fast, a bit unstable but that's due to speed. the VS doesn't bounce.

any resemblance to AS's new ripblade is purely fortuitious and due to me realizing that the light hammers are now pretty good due to no normals.

civil uproar <33333
i wonder if you remove that large beater than you could get enough weight to add an actual wedge with the spike strip onto of it (small wedge + extender)

Bobyasianboy · « **Reply #2547 on:** March 22, 2016, 06:14:05 PM »

I like the design of civil uproar but I don't really get it being wammer hybrid. I can't see it being that effective since most bots are just going to get knocked out of the way.

Really dig the new Devil though, looks great.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #2548 on:** March 22, 2016, 06:14:47 PM »

You know I can just send my version of ripblade to you? You don't have to go and clone it but with less weapons and a more vulnerable setup.

Naryar · « **Reply #2549 on:** March 25, 2016, 09:11:23 AM »

berZerk. if you wonder why it has a capital Z in the name, think of the team.

nothing exceptional. it's still extremely unstable when hit and flies all around, very powerful, but hey : if it wasn't that it wouldn't be a good Insane Berserker rebuild. 1mm plastic.

Dread Chopper. Decided to make it an actual hammer/rammer instead of the hammer with spikes ! that it was originally, and I wanted something else than a bog standard hammer with a plow (which Tip of the Iceberg will be, doubtlessly, but then it's in character for the team). Think it has either 1mm ti or 3mm plastic

And a hw for once...

It's better than the previous one, I'm quite sure of it. Still not invertible but it's hard to make it a gutripping poker while being invertible.

I COULD make it a Foolishevil style poker with static weapons, as well. But it always had a wedge in DSL, so there's that.

A bit of empty space and it has lots of armor, aka 5mm titanium. But I don't feel like rebuilding to use up all of that space. Chassis needs to be a bit big to not expose it's wheels, after all.

Naryar · « **Reply #2550 on:** March 25, 2016, 02:31:14 PM »

3mm steel. I think the goal is pretty much reached, fast, powerful flippers, and wedges will have to be seen.

two cent question : guess this bot's name

Mini Emergency? Fatal Emergency? Emergency Jr.? I still think it should be named Emergency baby in my opinion.

The bot itself looks pretty good. How strong are the Emergency wedges? If they are fragile, then that might hurt this bot a bit.

Naryar · « **Reply #2555 on:** March 25, 2016, 04:31:09 PM »

Yes, it's Emergency Jr.

And I am tempted to name it Emergency babyyyy, but somehow I prefer it like that.

Emergency wedges are pretty fragile. However, it wouldn't be emergency without them. Maybe use emergency wedges for the actual wedges and skirts for the flippers ?

Got two more bots to showcase. Maybe a third if I am productive. I expect more than 0,3 comments per bot posted, though...

4 bots built today. i am on fire apparently

new VENGEANCE. nothing exceptional. but a fast HS, as the previous one. think it has 5mm aluminium (which is pretty rare). NPC fasts.

it's pretty balanced in armor, speed and offense but a bit unstable. Then again, it's a fast hs. Live fast, kill quick, die hard !

Dark Wind, fourth bot in BLACK STORM. 3mm alu. Never really tested it, i bet the single FS ****s up the wedge but that's the design's flaw. Inspired by Coal Miner AND the original NAR AI Darkling, which was the former fourth bot in BLACK STORM and was a trapper.

Also I am having great difficulty finding a good name for it, fitting for the team. Dark and Stormy Night ? Storm Cloud ? Dark Wind ? Storm Warning ? Ugh, none of those strike me as particularly good.

And then I fail at building clamps

Well, it succeeded at the weaponed flipper part. Not the clamp part.

Still quite damaging and it's a "popup" (sorta kinda) with A LOT of weapons and very strong power. It's lacking a bit of chassis protection, to be honest, but then I wouldn't have that many weapons.

Not exactly sure what this is. Weaponed flipper/popup hybrid ?

anyways, Clanky Clampy (yes, it's a silly name, but then this is a Cranky Spanky rebuild so i'm forced to go with a similar name) NPC fasts, 5mm titanium. may rebuild it, but I'm happy with it. It's not exactly generic and if it gets under an enemy bot, then the enemy will know pain. VDMA bursts OP.

Untested yet. I assume they have no normals, though.
