You do know that 2 of those ultra-large drive motors (forgot the name) is better, right?

Nope, 2WD Etek + Techno is insufficient for a SHW rammer.

Eteks are actually less efficient than NPC Fasts, and they're just so freaking bulky and unwieldy to work with.

However, 4WD Etek + Techno IS more powerful, less draining and lighter than 6WD NPCF + Techno, but then again enjoy either your huge chassis or huge external exposed motors.

Oh and why the

have I said that it doesn't need 9 ants ? This is 6WD not 4WD as I thought when posting my last post. 9-10 is fine, 8 batts are OK but your bot's power will run down at the end of the match, 6 is the strict minimum necessary.

I think it's awesome.

From BOTM Winner to Steel Warzone Champion! (Hopefully)

4 Ants (Stacked), Blue CB, Aluminium 1. Couldn't do anything else with the weight, and it's not as if it's going to be gotten to.
Tite Halfsheet & 2 Small DSL Discs. Good underside protection against popups and the like.
2WD NPC Norms and Mini Wheels (Again for the weight). AI'd as an SnS, but it still works well.
2 Perm 123's, each powering 16 Flail Razors. 32 Flail Razors in total. Deals between 80,000 and 150,000 per match.
Single 40cm Poly Sheet to hopefully help with self-righting.

I don't konw why I didn't showcase this before.

Don't get your hopes too high

Anyway, I see a partially exposed perm. Add to that the fact that you have two weapons rather than one powerful one I can see it being taken out quickly by a Popup. Really I can't see a real advantage to the two disks other than having more protection and a slightly longer lasting amount of weapons.

A very partially exposed, 8000HP Perm. =P

It's designed to be a compact Flail Sheck SnS, so it's got the damage advantages of a regular Sheck Spinner, but hits the side of its opponents in the way an SnS does. It's worked very well in testing.

Does it spin rather slowly?

Hmm, I'm glad my bot is rather wide. We'll see what happens, I guess

How does it react to being flipped? Is self righting okay?

NFX · « **Reply #627 on:** October 26, 2011, 02:25:54 PM »

It spins slowly compared to other SnS, but it spins quickly enough for the purposes. And it self-rights okay, just spikeballs slightly before it gets it right.

lolI'msogladIdecidednottoenter

I actually dreamt last night that I was Dantomkia and I went against that. Much death ensued D: (I know I wasn't registered but I've been looking at past BOTM's)

It's a great bot, by the way

Okay. Hope to see it in the tournament, just for interest, I guess.

Darn, it doesn't look very puntable........

martymidget · « **Reply #632 on:** October 27, 2011, 04:11:50 PM »

Oooh, nice exposed motors. However, those flails could be a problem...

With looks alone, this is amazing.

Immense.

Darn it. I should have built something pretty instead of something ugly and fail-tastic.

However, is it me or will that disc hardly punt anything away? Isn't the Clep disc like a massive sawblade?

NFX · « **Reply #638 on:** November 13, 2011, 08:25:07 AM »

I think it has a square collision mesh, or something along those lines. Might do reasonably well at punting, but not as much as a bar or something.

powerrave · « **Reply #639 on:** November 13, 2011, 08:34:01 AM »

Almace may have a hard time with that one.
