RIP3 prototype. Started out trying to get two 60kg hammers on an LW VS, and it turned into this thing, which I have named Sundancer.

(Image removed from quote.)

I'm assuming thats a perm 132- because in trying to make a LW VS with a perm 132 I've practically cloned this :P

Yep. 8000 HP please. =D Perm 80 is not as powerful, and 20 times weaker.

That VS looks like it could be flanked during a rumble, and the sides look pretty flimsy should they be attacked by a high DP bot.

For the VS use NPC with mini's if you want. Roughly the same speed, but a ton more motor HP. Slightly less wheel hp, but mini's are smaller targets. It'll save you a couple KG too. And a flipper segment should be fine for the VS extenders- I see the Beaters as wasted weight tbh. If a VS does manage to hit them, I'm pretty sure it would hit hard enough to take the beaters off anyways.

Updated. Named it Moonrunner, I'm wanting to keep that name pairing with whatever I decide to enter.

Plastic 5 now, still 3 ants. Managed to make it much more stable, though 134kg appears to be asking a bit much of a Perm 132. But it's still beaten everything I've thrown at it so far, bar FFS and popups, but they're banned anyway. Also no AGOD. I just hope the skirts don't get caught between the arena spikes too often.

gaaaah why do I have no dsl motivation at all DX

Have fun against all the jugglers :P
Anyway, throw some sledge rammers at it, I'd tested my MW sledgy against HW VS and I ended up outweaponing them

NFX · « **Reply #866 on:** June 19, 2012, 04:42:02 AM »

idea get

249.0 (sans Smartzone), Tite 3, 2 ants, TWM3R drive, 1 Medium Air Tank. Wedge is decent, self-rights with the power of the piston.

Pretty awesome. Hope it doesn't fails.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #868 on:** June 19, 2012, 05:41:41 AM »

I think that the piston's a bit too far back. Might make the robot lift up, or make the wedge less wedgy. Also, it only having a medium tank kinda worries me. I'd change the drive to Slimbodies, and then, with the weight gained, move the piston forward slightly, increase to a large tank, (maybe) strenghen the wedge component, and up the chassis armour.

Pwnator · « **Reply #869 on:** June 19, 2012, 06:03:22 AM »

Downgrading to slimbodies would actually make the wedge worse. Downgrading the armor and extending the chassis to the back might be a bit better.

Also, a medium tank is more than enough for a gut-ripper design. A regular poker needs a medium tank because all of its attacks are head-on.

NFX · « **Reply #870 on:** June 19, 2012, 06:13:51 AM »

A Large Air Tank wouldn't fit into the chassis. Medium one seems to last long enough. Would downgrading to Plastic 3 be enough to get a stabilising tail on or something? Something that would be on a lower level than the chassis, and maybe force the wedge into the ground to make it a bit better.

Looking awesome. Could you use wide ant wheels and upgrade the middle DS tooth to a razor?

It would stick through the Tite sheet if it was a razor. Plus it would obstruct the two razors on the side.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #873 on:** June 19, 2012, 11:29:23 AM »

I see. never mind then.

NFX · « **Reply #874 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:04:32 AM »

Why is my showcase on Page 3? This will not do at all.

Presenting what started out as a possible CW, but has turned into a HW instead.

Actually 5mm Titanium, I has to mess around a little to get it on the weight limit. Only drawback seems to be the uninvertibleness. It should be able to scuttle around on its back a little bit, though.

Naryar · « **Reply #875 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:12:22 AM »

Gonna guess you used my method of stacking hinges ?

ty4er · « **Reply #876 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:24:59 AM »

see if dsl wheels help at all, otherwise it looks pretty good to me

MassimoV · « **Reply #877 on:** August 09, 2012, 11:56:47 AM »

How'd you get all the razors like that? I also like those wheel guards.

Skirt hinges. =P I put the wheelguards there with the weight I had left over, so I'd have some defense if an opponent were to get to my side.

Tweaked No Quarter to get it down to CW level.

599.0, Tite 3. Same insides as last time, but the middle razor rack and wheelguards have been removed, the wedge has ben shortened, and the lower rack has been narrowed. Works pretty much the same as last time, hopefully more invertible than last time now the wheelguards are gone.

Also, The Highlander 2 has had a reasonably successful run, scooping up two second place tournament finishes. So the next step would be the third incarnation, correct?

797.9, Tite 5. 4 NPCFs and Vlads, same as before, but the drums are now powered by NPCFs too. Could easily be built IRL, but everything in the game is direct drive. Also 8 ants, so it can keep going for the full 3 minutes, grinding away at opponents. Added a nice insignia on top as well.
