Couple of new bots. First a concept LW SnS/Flamer thing.

247.6, Plastic 3, 2 ants and a Large Air Tank. NPC Normals. Doesn't spin fast enough for my liking.

A generic MW Rammer that I'd forgotten to showcase. Can't remember why I built it, probably just trying out the weapon setup.

Can't remember the weight or the armour. Probably 2 ants and NPCFs. Front razors should help prevent facestanding.

on the mw rammer, do the razors prevent the opponent from hitting all the other weapons, or is the collision mesh not stick out far enough to do that?

(edit: i talk english good yes??)

Access Denied.

398.0, Plastic 3, 2 ants, NPC Norms for massive HP. Steel skirts on top, 2 casters on the underside, because halfsheets are legal too.

Nice work, looks very solid.
I'd say that the steel skirts are a bit overkill given that the side panels they're attached to would surely break first against most opponents, but that's it really.

Wow, looks great.

Got inspired by 090901's thing with the wheelguards.

396.7, 8 ants. TWMR3 Drive, Piglet saw on the back, flipper uses a hacked Skirt Hinge that works as a burst motor. More powerful than a Large JX, but less powerful than the Judge Burst. Bit annoyed by the ME's sticking out (they hold on the Hworf pieces), and the skin doesn't really match up with anything else. Might change it at some point.

I liked it until I saw it uses a custom part D:

naah, it's still awesome. That saw mount is beautiful.

Looks sick. Awesome stuff.

MassimoV · « **Reply #929 on:** October 17, 2012, 04:20:14 PM »

Awesome build.

Looks like something that came from one of the first series of Robot Wars... I like it :)

Good idea with the Skirt Hinge, a true forward firing flipper motor is needed badly in RA2.

I'm pretty sure I saw this done in Wham's AI pack. It's alright if you're doing IRL building, in my view, because - as you said - there's no proper front-hinged flipper motor in RA2, just by virtue of the game mechanics. It's kind of in the same vein as BFE'ing the chassis height is alright.

But I do like the early RW designs that you saw in the first couple of series, the one-at-the-front-one-at-the-back designs, like Stealth, Centurion, Roadblock to an extent.

Something to round off one of my LDAI teams.

NPC Norms, Plastic 10. Pushes stuff around. Most of the weight's towards the back with the tail and batteries, so it doesn't get stuck on its wedge.

NFX · « **Reply #933 on:** November 19, 2012, 07:50:13 AM »

I think this is my first triple post ever. To commemorate this occasion, have something for LDAI.

796-ish, Tite 3. 2 ants, 2 NPCFs, 2 small Air Tanks, a Flamethrower and a bunch of flipper segments, side panels and spikey things. Probably sucks in battle, but it looks cool.

...wha...?

NFX · « **Reply #935 on:** November 19, 2012, 09:30:56 AM »

Nice comment.

The robot will make more sense to anyone who's been over to ARC and seen my CAD showcase there.

CameraFan · « **Reply #936 on:** November 19, 2012, 09:38:31 AM »

that thing looks awesome.

Conraaa · « **Reply #937 on:** November 19, 2012, 09:42:19 AM »

Beautiful. Are you going to make a whole team like that?

Can't really say anything else, really. That bot is just too epic to be described in words.

Possibly. It depends on how many of my remaining IRL bots I'd like to put in. I've got Mastodon and Cage of Mirrors lined up, maybe the Golden Fox or Pursuit. Can't think of any others that haven't been submitted already.
