It can drive straight.........most of the time. Sometimes when it accelerates it veers to the right a little bit, but it's not too much of a problem. It hits the target most of the time.

Also, another new robot, AW Crawler this time.

I actually had this idea in a dream last night. Plastic 1, 2 ants, mini CB, the rest should be visible. Took a few tries to get the chassis right, but it's worked. =D It even turns properly. Also, I can't use stronger extenders for the "tail", because if it was any shorter, the bot would spin around uselessly and not move towards the opponent at all.

You don't have to make it a tailed crawler. A simpler 'A for Abstract'-style crawler should be tougher to kill.

LOL

Does it torque-reaction-hammers properly ?

NFX · « **Reply #363 on:** October 31, 2010, 08:12:09 AM »

It does, yeah. Works much like the RW Stinger does, and it sometimes gets stuck on its side and spins the tail around at great speed.

That's pretty amazing. I have never senn an AW crawler.

Rebuild of my BW Rammer, probably entering this into MMR unless I can find some way to improve it.

Plastic 1, NPC Normals, large CB and 2 ants. The rest should be visible. I downgraded the drive and wheels from the previous version, and it is MUCH more controllable. It no longer veers off to one side when I accelerate, it's much more effective when it's inverted this time around, and the wheels haven't been taken off yet. I used the extra weight I had left over to add some more weaponry, it now has 6 Razors and 2 Light DS Teeth, which also defend the sides fairly well, Only drawbacks are that weak armour (1.9kg chassis won't last very long, I imagine), and the poly extenders can be a little bit suspect at times.

AI it like AoN!

NFX · « **Reply #367 on:** November 04, 2010, 01:07:26 PM »

Which AI did AoN use?

Also, I've gotten Clash Cubes IV on my mind again, and the third incarnation of Wheels Are Tasty.

Tite 3 armour, 2-Wheel Slimbody Drive with Hypnos, now mounted internally for better protection, and more weight left for other stuff, 4 Ants, regular CB, the rest should be visible. I can't remember who had the 6-razors-on-a-hex-plate idea [possibly S_M], but kudos to them.

Nice!

FOTEPX I believe had the hex plate idea.

Looks great. Will lose to my SnS though >:D

NFX · « **Reply #371 on:** November 04, 2010, 03:23:46 PM »

It may do, but I just wanted to have something a bit different. =D It was designed to take out wedges, and taking out wedges is what it does well.

Yep, with Red Rampage V3.

Oh, Jonzu?

MMR Rules - Bot must have atleast 2 Wheels

...you never mentioned anything about motors. =P

Granted, in combat, it completely sucks, with Plastic 1 armour and an Astro running off of one ant, but I just wanted to be nit-picky and annoy you.

Pwnator · « **Reply #374 on:** November 04, 2010, 09:13:33 PM »

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But try a Mag + 2 small ant wheels with less razors (OH NOEZ). That might be better.

NFX · « **Reply #375 on:** November 04, 2010, 09:17:37 PM »

I'll give that a shot, and if it works, I will enter it. Because it will be legal. =P

SKBT · « **Reply #376 on:** November 04, 2010, 09:19:04 PM »

Thats awsome NFX. Try using a NPC or mag motor less razors and stick the second wheel on the polycarb extender instead of on a motor.

Well your going to kill me in MMR with Puncture II.

More Clash Cubes IV prototyping. Another version of Wheels Are Tasty, now with added invertibility!

This thing LOVES fighting wedges. Especially now it's invertible.

The 8 razors on the main disc pretty much tear off skirts and panels with ease, while the Matilda Tooth on the underside (That's to keep the razors off the ground) grinds away on any flat panels on a metal hinge. The odd "turnstile" arrangement on the top is partly to stop robots climbing on top of the disc and attacking the Perm, which has so far never been taken off, but mostly to keep it totally invertible. Without it, the disc would be too high, or the wheels would be lifted off the ground. Also, if the main disc happens to get taken off, the upper razors can still deal some damage to opponents.

Only problems I've found so far are that it sometimes tries to gyro dance, much like Final Z did in BBEANS, and that it kinda needs the Tite 5 armour with that tiny chassis. But with the Tite 5 on, it's never been KO'd before it had been completely de-weaponed. Astros and Shinies haven't been taken off in testing yet either.

Doesn't like SnS's with long arms very much, but it's beaten just about everything else: Rammers, SS, HS, VS, Flippers, Popups, Hammers...it basically takes its opponents apart piece by piece until there's only the chassis left. And then you die. =P
