Should have some sort of 2 vs 2 match where a flipper flip bots up onto the grill.

A spatula bot?

Probably something like your Cargo Bay but with a hovercraft instead for consistency. :P

Oh, that's beautiful xD

Okay, now for a serious robot. =D Lightweight Trov Glitch Rammertime. Marvel at my crappy half-assed splash.

And yes, that's 2 ants in there. 8 Small DS Teeth, 2 Large DS Teeth and 2 Razors. Hypnos were swapped for DSL Wheels purely for the larger radius, which makes it fully invertible. And they look cooler on it. Some things that won't be in the splash, it's beaten Beserker, Roly Poly and Hammerhead Shark in NAR AI 2.3, it got Infection 4's control board into the yellow after 2 seconds with the first hit, and it ALMOST beat HazCon. Almost. Biggest hit it's had was just over the 6000 mark, but I missed the screenshot with that one. FFFUUUetc.

It looks cool but is messy at the same time. If something rips off these panels before the weapons go out... :P

If it can beat popups, it's good enough for me.

Cool idea... there's really not much chassis for popups to hit. I'm surprised it doesn't Havok though.

It actually hasn't havoked at all so far during testing, Click. =) But it is fast as all

, and the weapons seem to do a really good job of protecting the panels.

And this is why I was scared of facing 1.8 in the first place. XD

1.8 is a fail 5 minute bot, you cant be afraid of such thing....

Naryar · « **Reply #210 on:** September 10, 2010, 09:00:34 AM »

Apart from exposed NPC fasts it's not a failbot.

Is there a tutorial anywhere to the trov chasis glitch?

G.K. · « **Reply #213 on:** September 11, 2010, 02:41:03 AM »

Sage has a video.

Builders block sucks. Especially when it throws AGOD in your face. sStarted out trying to klone Fight Or Flight from BBEANS 2, and I ended up with two bots that look almost identical. Both have Tite 3, NPC Fasts, three halfsheets on the bottom, and are between 796 and 799 kg.

Downfall

19 ants, and is pretty much a clamp robot. Haven't tested it in combat, because initial impressions in the Bot Lab Testing Grounds were that it wouldn't be all that great. Though it was more stable than I thought it would be, it doesn't rear back all that much. So I tweaked it a little bit and turned it into a pure flipper.

Uplifting Experience

I cannot count the number of times this thing has AGOD'd on me. Skirt hinge was absolute murder to get right. Even now the AGOD still isn't gone. I tried Nar's trick, and it didn't work. So I'll be working on that pretty soon. 22 ants here, and a mini CB due to lack of space. Flipper is very very powerful. When the AGOD isn't biting me in the ass. Wedges are awesome, by the way, gets under just about anything.

4 small jxs are plenty for a hw flipper, just make sure you have enough batts

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #216 on:** September 24, 2010, 12:42:48 PM »

But four large ones are better.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #217 on:** September 24, 2010, 02:17:11 PM »

If you are having problems with AGOD, you can use BSG for wedge, which can also increase flipper power. But since it doesn't AGOD then it's fine.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #218 on:** September 24, 2010, 02:26:57 PM »

Both looks nice, but...

Downfall, 3/5
It's a normal design, good wedge etc.
But I don't think that one hammer
is enough to beat opponents.

Uplifting Experience, 3/5
This is normal design too, but I prefer
to put the large JX's. Otherwise ok.

Actually, one hammer is enough to beat most shell spinners. However, the hammer's not causing its theoretically weak performance. Hammers need trappers so they don't get de-weaponed easily.
