Interesting, however it'd be more helpful if you were to show the insides. However I will say it's a solid design looking at it
Front hinger AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Why the 45 degree ange on the left wedge? That's atleast 1kg less iirc
Few things.
1. the wedges, I recommend you use the skirt or metal hinge piece, found in the extenders tabs, this will certainly increase the effectiveness of the wedge.
2. I think you should try to make it as compact as possible, this would allow you to add better armour or add plates of armour.
3. The front armour plate should be wider I feel, this would allow you to armour better against spinners.
4. Flat sides. I changing this to a more angle side would do 2 things, deflect spinners better and not allow you to get stuck on it's side which I see you've tried to counter with the extenders.
It's certainly a good bot, just a few refinements and it'll be top tier
correct me if i happen to be wrong, but the flipper having it's hinge set somewhat high up the wedge could reduce it's flipping ability than if you set the hinge further down the wedge, again, this is just a theory but if you have spare weight i suggest you try screwing around with that and see if it has any effects
Moot Point 2The arm just looks a little out of place with it being so wide
It now has Alu 5 armour, a wedge attached to a metal hinge, sloped chassis and it's slightly more compact (I think)

I don't really like how the wheels stick out a bit now but I think overall a slicker design

A duck with a skull on it's head? Spooky.
it looks cool, but yeah that disc is going to be insanely fragile on a middleweight. if you took the dsl discs out of the pussycat wheels and shrunk the chassis a little bit, you'd have more than enough weight for a tougher disc.
you can double or even quadruple the size of the default skin template when you start a skin to make it higher-resolution.
I would also use a better font. I use this ting https://cooltext.com/
cooltext is some oldschool stuffI don't even know you could get plugins for paint.net I'm a check them out
if you download paint.net and get some plugins like outline object and drop shadow you can do all that and more

So I made a kind of generic drum spinner.
10 plastic armour, can't self right and the drum doesn't seem to hit that well or do as much damage as I though. It gets stuck a lot and runs out of battery towards the end of most fights... apart from that it's great
Any thoughts on how to address any of these issues would be great!
looks good, nice job dude
give it a better skin and it'll be great
I appreciate all the advise I can get! and with it I've created a much better drum spinner. Even if it is basically a Minotaur clone

(https://i.imgur.com/qqErNyo.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/sPG6QCp.jpg) decided to go back to simplicity with the drum
(https://i.imgur.com/mUoaI0U.jpg) It isn't 100% protected but it does have Alu 10 armour
Any comments?
While I ponder how best the give Lynx a little improvement I made a robot I've had an idea for a while.
The name says is all really
(https://i.imgur.com/jyYVnid.jpg) because f**k spinners! (https://i.imgur.com/rZUVGpR.jpg) i ran out of room and weight to tidy up the back
(https://i.imgur.com/rwhF1BL.jpg) pretty simple insides
Plastic 10 armour,2x medium pistons, doubled up medium colson wheels, steel sides with a titanium scoop, 4x slim bodies
It isn't hugely fast and doesn't through bots miles but it's durable which was the whole point
Thoughts?
After putting about 6 hours work into this I finally came up with Spinna Killa 2. 5 and a half hours went out into making the scoop not being too heavy that it was able to self right OK. This started out as a kind fun design to deflect spinners but turned into headache so this was the best I could do and I'm done with this design. After finishing this I went to the pub for a well deserved drink! Tita 3 i think, 797. KG or something I just don't care anymore

(https://i.imgur.com/lfWULph.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/mtrHOxk.jpg) all the panels are Titanium(part from the obvious polycarbs) and some of the extenders are Aluminium

Rather nice, love the scoop style you've gone with something I'd like to use myself at some point. Bit boxing but I think that's fine. I think if you can blend the poly a bit better it'd look rather nice.
Keep it up man, doing great
Not a fan of the wheels poking out or the yellow extenders connecting the flipper arms. Other than that, it's alright i guess. Needs a good skin.
Great for a first attempt. However I recommend giving the bot armour underneath to avoid it getting gutripped. You might have to make it smaller to get some extra weight to armiur to bottom of the bot. To do this you cam more the pistons closer together making it more narrower but still effective and correct me if Im wrong but I only see 2 black bats which wont be enough
Looks good. I'd personally go for smaller wheels, like 2 vlads so you get similar width to the n12s but a smaller diameter, but otherwise looks pretty neat, especially for a first extenderbot.
Looks good. Great job man
That's hot stuff.
Like the style, just not the wheels being outside.
How do they look inside?
You are defiantly improving :) panther is my Favorite of all your bots
The spinner needs some extra support

The discs have that inner circle, I would recommend using that as a good measurement of weapon support

That's rather neat actually, but you don't have enought battery life, I actually recommend turning the the storm into a vdma and then adding more batteries.

I did seriously consider using a normal VDMA but this seemed a bit more outrageous, as for the batteries I though 2 reds would be plenty for a 3 minute bout. Then again it hasn't been battle tested at all yet
As you have 2 reds. 1 red will go to the drive and 1 will go for the storm, which isn't enough.

You were right, I shouldn't have questioned you. I hang my head in shame and also make changes

Now I feel bad, its a great bot none the less, just battery was a concern. But now that bot looks great.
that's alright, I tested in a battle and I just spammed the flipper button and I was at about half power about 1.00 in so I appreciate the advice. I also forgot the batteries in 2.2 produce different outputs to 2.1!
2nd faivorate bot you've made so far :claping
If you can find a way to clean up the rear, and the very front edge of the wedge this would be top notch. You can probably ditch one of the battlepacks as VDMA bursts use a lot less power than the front hinge ones which should give you some weight to play with. I'd also switch the shiny wheels to vlads too even though they're marginally heavier just for looks.2nd faivorate bot you've made so far :claping
Thank you dude!
I hope you and everyone one else will enjoy another robot with another crude splash made in MS paint, because that kinda seems to be what I do now... anyway moving on to the bot
(https://i.imgur.com/0oyrNX0.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/OJM3Lks.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/o2y6B8c.jpg) ran out of weight to tidy up the back so it has a dodgy skeleton thing going on which kinda lets it down
You sir are really impressing me :claping. Defiantly a better extender bot then I could ever make. As for advice the roboteer said it pretty well
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:
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.
Really impressive extenderbots for a newbie, keep up the good work.
Nice bot dude! seriously you are improving by the second its great!
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
I got you in the first round best of luck :)

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

good luck to you too :)
Now that is a nice machine. 10/10.
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.
While I'm on a building hypeYour best bot so far. Looks great. The lil embellishments on the wheelguards are a nice touch.

Tbh, you could probs weaken the burst to a vdma. Therefore have better bat life.
2 more bots to show ya

Big Cat 2, more stable and has a deadlier weapon. Would have been my 3rd entry to MM but I thought it was too similar to Big Cat 1.1 that I entered, and didn't qualify, for Orc Wars
and

Taurpedo, a very unstable CW
Big cat 2 looks very nice. I'd like to see how you did the weapon setup cuz it looks pretty cool.
Taurpedo looks like it could be made wider and flatter to help with stability. Really like the bar on it.

nothing fancy just a perm 132 with small typhoon teeth and small beaters attached to small drums, with small DSL discs at either end for a bit of protection and so it aligns properly
Looks pretty neat, but idk if those beater's will do damage.
Potenial AW for Robo Games, I went for an undercutter to get at all those exposed wheels in this weight class. Not sure it'll stand up to all these bar spinners I've been seeing though...
(https://i.imgur.com/oeNbxI4.jpg)
Same as hoppin. Great incorporation of an underused rep disc. Just make sure it doesn’t touch the floor so it does full damage.

Was going to be my HW entry for RG but I'm not sure I like it enough as it didn't quite come out how I wanted and I doubt the weapon is potent enough
Are Heavy Metal Noise teeth legal in Robogames?
They are cheatbot. I'm guessing you downloaded avalanche's version of the game which Mr AS's balance patch pre installed which makes a bunch of cheatbot components available by default.Are Heavy Metal Noise teeth legal in Robogames?
They aren't cheatbot so I'd assume so but now I'm unsure...

Very neat, clean and well made looking, if fairly conventional in its design. Nothing really negative to say about it other than it could do with more antennae ;)They are cheatbot.

That is exactly what I did and I had no idea that was the case! thanks for letting me know :)
On a different note here is another one of my potential RG entries for the CW division. Taurpedo 2
Ditched the giant bar as it was a bit fragile and gimmicky. Not many people seem to use these style discs (not sure what their name is) but the 100cm is perfect size and fits the aesthetics of this robot well

The skin is really nice, the weapon support looks good, and the weapon looks deadly, all in all a really cool VS! Makes me disappointed in Babaulti :confused:.
The only negative thing I can see is that it might get stuck on its sides (although that’s pretty unlikely).
Aside from the wheels, that 'bot is clean as ****. I love it! ^_^

Somebody got an upgrade after it's rather lacklustre performance in DeathMatchI like it a whole lot. I like how it deviates from the run of the mill drumbot design without going over the top or trying to cram too much in to the point it looks messy. Your best build so far I'd say. Nothing negative to say about it.
(https://i.imgur.com/Mu7sfMt.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/QuyPTJF.jpg)
Still a CW at 596.something KG, now with 4wd, steel teeth on small drums, a Perm 80 to drive the weapon and Steel 5 armour. It's now faster, more stable and more deadly with a slight sacrifice on chassis armour.
Thoughts are welcome as per usual
Was not impressed by the hate Steg 2 got on the discord yesterday, so I made a MW inspired by it just to spite everyone and because I like it.Damn that's lovely. Nothing negative to say about it. Your best bot so far I'd say.
Happy with how it turned out, apart from the wheels I might have to do some fiddling with that
(https://i.imgur.com/ymEGRqF.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/chQD1f0.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/CeXHuEY.jpg)
I like it. Can it actually OOTA anything? What burst are you using?
something like this?
(https://i.imgur.com/6eWSiBI.jpg)
Jilted Lover - The bot itself looks really solid, well constructed front, sides and rear. My main concerns are how well it self rights, Im sure it's fine, but just based off looks Im not exactly sure. The other concern is how to the polycarb would withstand vertical spinners/axes when hit. But I still really like it and am sure the points of concern are solved for or don't exist.
Inhaler - Great name, great bot. The colsons you've added really make it look much sleeker and I love the floor hugger wedgelets you have. How strong is the front side to allow for better durability against HSs tho?
Insane Beserker - I think learning BFE would be a great idea to help with the compactness of the bot, allowing for better armour on the bottom. That and I believe 2 bursts would be substantial enough for flipper power whilst allowing you to save and burst, arm and battery. Again allowing you to spend more weight on drive or armour.
Looking great, best bots by far <3
