Maybe consider taking off some weight and adding Slipperbottoms instead, looks awesome though. I don't think you need all of them extenders to be poly's though, you should remove a few. Also, i believe Plastic five over Titanium 3, but i'm not sure.

[G.K.]

Why would he need to add grannies?

They're Aluminium.

That's what i meant, replace the alu's with Polys and add some Slipperbottom wheels.

Asylum Seeker does.

It does turn, just not very quickly. I tried putting hexplates on the edges of the extenders, then it wouldn't turn at all.
 
Meanwhile, in the Bot Lab...
 
Another possible Clash Cubes IV entry, though I just wanted to try a LW Dual VS. 247.4, 4 ants and a mini CB, all wrapped up in a 1mm Titanium box. Spears violently to the left when it drives forward, for some reason, and quite unstable, but it is invertible. Sort of.
 

I'm gonna call her Cubeslice. 

[NFX]

Double Post. Of Death. But not really.
 
Since there's a lot of talk about a Total Annihilation 2, I figured I might as well give the champ a bit of an update. Smaller chassis, tougher armour, more weapons, and 9 ants (Batts I used last time were too tall for this version) for maximum pushing power throughout. Certainly an improvement, in my view.
 

[Pwnator]

You can still shrink the chassis up to the width of the outermost MEs. And 8 ants should be fine for maximum power. You could downgrade to plastic 5 and add external armor with the free weight. :D

[Thyrus]

If you shrink the chassis like pwn says you could add top and bottomarmor. I would accept a reskinned one

[Somebody]

Downgrade the armor, add titanium halfsheets.

[NFX]

Any feedback on Cubeslice? =P

[Vertigo]

Valid Query 3 vs Bulldozer 4 = Valid Query 3 OOTA ;P

[martymidget]

I sense a grudge match coming to fruition...can I join, but does it have to be Clowning arounds remake :P

It should still be a juggler

[NFX]

Maybe so, in a direct head to head. Unless I take your JX's off.

[Somebody]

Psst: JXs have lots of hitpoints.

I like the idea of a grudge match, if we could get craaig to join then I think it may be worth going ahead with :D

True, though VQ3 often scores in the 3000-4000 region.
 
A new version of my BTTB 2 entry, this time a true popup, somewhat inspired by HnM4 in NAR AI 2.3, which it outwedges around 50:50. Tite 5 (I think), 797.0. Beater Bar assembly on the top is largely to prevent bots from Rage III'ing against it, and three tite halfsheets on the bottom that offer oddly poor protection, HnM manages to kill it in two to three hits, so I think I'll leave them off VQ3 for now.
 

[Somebody]

How many weapons are on it?
