Both of these are looking great now. If the white one is still an MW then it's very impressive that you got it in weight.

Look forward to seeing the yellow one in OW2. Maybe I'll even get the chance to fight it  :smile:

thanks man I'd like a the chance to go up against some of your machines too  :smile: It is still a middle weight, I think it's like 398.8KG or something so its really pushing the weight limit now!

I really like the look of the Apolloish one. You're getting better pretty much everyday. Meanwhile, I'm barely getting any better, lol. My only suggestions would be to make the chassis white (the red really stands out) and make the flipper arm thicker if possible.

thanks, but that's B.S man you're a good builder and getting better too! I was being a bit lazy with the chassis so I'll have a look at the colours tonight

Really impressive extenderbots for a newbie, keep up the good work.
Nice bot dude! seriously you are improving by  the second its great!

thanks both I appreciate the feedback  :thumbup

Yes, it is possible to make a Tsunami clone.
No, it isn't my best work but I think i'll try to incorporate the flipper design into an extender bot

+ good flip power with 2 medium VDMA's
+ 10mm titanium armour
+ lowish front
- mostly chassis armour
- buster wheels, and they stick out
- aluminium flipper is fragile

In my opinion not as good as the previous bots but I like the overall colour scheme

Pretty nice actually, great job on that flipper. You could probably get away with Ti5 and use the weight to add some plating on the sides to protect the wheels. But it's a great bot and I hope to see you improve it in how you see fit

I tried to make an extender bot version but it kept getting stuck on its side, its annoying because the thing that made it cool is now the thing stopping it from functioning. I've spent like 3 hours trying loads of different extender set ups but nothing seemed to work   :(

Tried to make a more powerful CW version of Silver Lining... spent 30 mins on upgrading Silver Lining D'oh
It now has Pussycat wheels as the I realised the Vlads weren't quite big enough to get the front running flush to the ground and I made the back a lot tidier

The CW I intended to make earlier, looks good from some angles, looks sh*t from others

If you can angle the sides right this could be a very cleanbot although even without that it still looks amazing!

You'd want to angle the sides triangles by 30 degrees from the looks of it. Then it'll be a clean bot.

My final entry into Orc Wars.
I tried to make a Series 5 Tornado clone, with the drum,  but was rapidly running out of time to get an entry together so it came out as this monstrosity...


I'm not expecting a lot from this one but it could surprise me

Hey that's really cool. You can probably have 2 less black bats. I also recommend if it's not already that you hinge the prongs at the front. And maybe put the weapon out further for more reach. Nice job man

As suggested, Nibbler 2 now has less batteries, hinged prongs and more power!

It's a lot closer to what I intended

I got you in the first round best of luck :)

good luck to you too :)

Thanks man  :thumbup

Mechavore tore the whole front corner, including one of the drums, with one attack! so I managed to add some armour in and sneak inside the weight limit. Detracts from the aesthetics a bit but is necessary

When you're stupid enough to scrap a robot without exporting it and you have to make a full rebuild...  :rage

Revo being a combo of the words REbuild and EVOlution, same mechanics underneath just a few cosmetic changes that make it a bit cleaner

Its pretty good although still the wedge at the front should be angled but overall Its a really was cool and well built machine. please add an internal shot tho just so we can give some extra advice :)

I like everything about it other than the weird gap in-between the flipper and sides. I also think that the darker red may make it look more appealing.

Internals are identical to Richter, see up the page a bit. Also bad luck in Orc Wars, Gamma Ray was doing real well until AI screwed you over I would've liked to see it in the real completion. I hope you enter it into something else :)

I'm 99% sure I used the Dark Red panels, Maybe I could have used Maroon or something. I don't really like the gap either but I ran out of weigh and I'm pretty inept
