I second this, especially the 120 cms that are very awesome if done well.

My hiatus has ceased! A new bot has been made!


Yes, I would. The armor is titanium 3 (I believe). Not sure what to do with the extra weight. It can outwedge most of DSL 2.1's AI.



I made this cool spray that I was going to use for TF2, but it said "file corrupt". A possible skin idea, but I don't know how to skin.

I think it needs more batteries, especially with the weight left over
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

I do believe Natef used 6 ants on this, that is sufficient for such a popup...

That brings a question however. Is 7 ants better ?

I count 3...

But the more the merrier instead of wasted weight.

There's three obvious ones, one under the anchor and maybe two hidden under the two next to the motors.

Pretty good when I tested it, flinging robots high into the air. Very slow, though.

You only need 4 ants.  Remove one ant and upgrade to Astroflights.

I think he liked BW Rammers a lot. Anyways, it looks good. If you have the weight, I would upgrade the extenders.

BW TRUE popup. =P And probably not terribly effective, I'd say it was more of a flipper thing that causes damage. But it's still quite a good build.

A little underweight, get rid of an ant and use grippier wheels (or maybe Slimbody motors))
