sweet. Highlander 3 possibly for LDAI?

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #881 on:** August 14, 2012, 03:04:31 PM »

Or 2L2Q3?

NFX · « **Reply #882 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:51:31 AM »

Possibly. If I can put together some others for the team. In the meantime, here's a prototype for Survival Of The Fittest 2.

249.0. We're only allowed 6 flails on a team, but I wanted my LW to have more weaponry than that. Hence the assembly on the top, which does a good job of protecting the motor. Nothing intersects (much), but it's a little bit skittish, and I couldn't get a poly skirt on the back either. Only Plastic 1 and 2 ants, but it seems to do well enough in combat. Also invertible.

Cute. x

isn't survival of the fittest in normal dsl where hexplates dont attach to mags? :P

it looks like a very nice bot anyway

Right you are. Other than that, good looking bot. Was thinking about putting some flails on Peanut as well. But got lazy when I realized that would've caused the razors to cut through the wheels without a complete redesign.

yay challenges

398.7, Plastic 3, 3 ants. Normal NPC's, Perm 132, pair of 70kg hammers and a Halfsheet. Flipper segments actually don't unbalance the weaponry at all. Tried 80cm Alu skirts, and the bot kept tilting forwards whenever it hit anything, so I went for 120cm Poly skirts instead.

Yay! <3
Good job on getting Plastic 3. I think mine needs a re-build now. :P Not sure about the stabilisers though.

As I said with the stabilisers, it was a toss-up between strength and stability, and I went for stability. I could possibly upgrade to Aluminium skirts if I dropped the chassis armour, or went for Mini Wheels instead of Shiny Hubs.

Fair enough. This actually gave me an idea for another setup...

Trying to make a HW for one of the tournaments at the moment.

798.6, Plastic 10, 4 ants. NPC Normals (12KHP), Perm 132 Small (8KHP), and 40 LDS teeth. Poly skirts on the back protect the chassis a little, but mostly protecting the CF extenders. Steel skirts protecting the chassis, Titanium stabilisers, angled so as to get the weaponry as low as possible without hitting the ground. Likes removing exposed components/wheels, esaily capable of scoring over 150,000 points per match. Flipper segments have so far not been taken off. Also invertible.

Is it an upgrade of Pooh Bear Trap? then it's good. Although i'm slighttttttttttlllllyyyyy worried the CF extender will get ripped by a pop-up.

I can't say it was intentional. I thought his drums were built from DSL discs on the top and bottom. Plus there's that drum like this in my NAR AI team, I built that back in November. (Man Trap, Gauche =P)

Man Trap was the HW, Bear Trap was the MW. Scrap Daddy did build a bot called Bear Trap for BTTB2 which was HW, that might be what's causing confusion. The SHW on my team was called Death Trap, though.

Yeah, well I built mine back in October, so I win. :P

Anyways, how well does the bot fare against gutrippers?

NFX · « **Reply #898 on:** August 27, 2012, 06:10:54 AM »

Does quite well against them. Drum's low enough to deal with wedges, and there's enough weaponry and defenses to survive, and take their extenders and such off.

Anyways, new bot. Thanks to my/TRB's Randomiser. =D

248.6, Tite 1, 4 ants. TWM3R Main Drive + Astroflight Strafing Drive. Wedge seems pretty good, not tested it in combat yet.
