ME's are the only things that would fit there, annoyingly

try axle loading + alu extender

The ME's are attached to the Aluminium extender supports. The collision mesh of the Storm Arm is off to one side, so it was quite hard to get ME+Alu Extender in the position I would have wanted.

Apologies to Mr. AS, I hit the Modify button by mistake.

6WD Magmotors ? Seriously ? What were you drinking when you built that ?

It's only 2WD Magmotors. It might just look like six because of the Storm Skirt bits sticking out the sides. I should have painted the sides something other than black.

lol, I was wondering how you fit 6WD in there with that weapon system. Silly Nar.

MMMMMMMNNNNFFFF. Yes. That looks awesome.

MassimoV · « **Reply #828 on:** May 11, 2012, 06:27:21 PM »

Storm arms are probably the coolest component ever.

NFX · « **Reply #829 on:** May 18, 2012, 05:13:05 AM »

One design for RA2 Olympics, and two others that I never bothered to showcase.

Braveheart: IRL MW Drumbot. 6 ants, Plastic 3. Piglets are inside the drums, which would work if they were hollowed out and went back over the motors, like that one bot SKBT made. Yay vagueness.

None Shall Pass: LW Ramming Wall. Wanted to see how many weapons I could stick on a decent LW, while ty and SM were going at it. Far too fragile, and gets stuck on its face too much.

In-Capacitor: Generic MW True Popup. Sort of a Middleweight Hairline Fracture. 7 ants, 12 razors, Plastic 5. Wedges are actually quite good, I think I know why my wedges used to fail now.

I have an extreme phobia of IRL Drums due to the considerable weapon weight people get away with (damn you Skidmark), but that looks good.
Popup looks a little fragile armour wise, and is very unoriginal, but so long as it works.
Rammer looks cool but useless.

Are you from Scotland? Well it looks great. You can also enter NSP into the LWs.

NFX · « **Reply #832 on:** May 18, 2012, 11:31:04 AM »

Technically Great Britain, devolution hasn't quite happened yet. But if you've seen The Highlander in the Home Nations tournament I did a while back, and the Battlebots tournaments, then you'll know I'm from Scotland. =P

And I might enter NSP if I can make one that doesn't suck. Or Fatal Exception into the SHW bracket.

SKBT · « **Reply #833 on:** May 18, 2012, 12:07:56 PM »

I'm loving the drum. I like the use of hexplates and teeth. Wish I thought of that...

MassimoV · « **Reply #834 on:** May 18, 2012, 12:18:23 PM »

Well great. I just wanted to know because the skins have to represent your country of origin.

Thyrus · « **Reply #835 on:** May 18, 2012, 12:23:35 PM »

can we see insides of the drum? :)

i think its (at least partially) justified that they're pretty much glass cannons against wedges and hammers
i mean skidmark vs. a hammer with a heavy plow in front = gg

That's true. Go watch my HW match against Virus Bomb in Battlebots 5. =P Click did say that they could have the most weapon weight invested in them, although if you're in an OOTA arena, then the Judge Burst becomes the component to use.

I did use the hexplate + cutting teeth setup on SWARM, mostly because that was what it looked like when I originally made it in Rhino, but it seems to work extremely well in RA2. Plus looks awesome.

I'll see if I can get an internal shot at some point. Only has Astros, so not the quickest. But who cares. =P

NFX · « **Reply #838 on:** May 19, 2012, 10:10:31 AM »

More RA2 Olympics planning.

Wheels Are Tasty 5. 248.6 kg, Plastic 5, 3 ants. Narrower stance and slightly less chassis armour compared to WAT 4 1/2, but better protection for the motor.

Not only is it completely invertible as well, there are two versions, which are both absolutely identical in construction, but are effectively one bot able to start the match either way up. The idea is to help avoid what happened against Bane in Clash Cubes IV, on a similar principle to JoeBlo's Iron Outlaw.

Woah, that looks excellent!
