On Cyber-Swish, use Techno Destructo wheels instead. I really like the idea of Dolphin 4, but I'm not sure about the hypno teeth and its wedges. I'd consider upgrading the teeth to something else.

QFT. Their only problem is that they can't throw other robots around.

Although it is a good thing for a grinder like this.

As I'm too lazy to showcase any more robots, I decided to make a video instead, to do it all for me :D

Most of them are poorly built.

I like Draculerse's skin.

Btw, TWM3R2s are bad for drive.

How many flippers are on HACE (havnt a clue either)

Six.

I'm sure we can all agree that Skurge needs much improvement. Well, I agree, so I completely rebuilt 'em.

I didn't quite use up all the space or weight, but eh, it's a work in progress, and empty space can be excused in a wedge, I'm sure xD

Somebody · « **Reply #31 on:** February 23, 2009, 12:43:23 PM »

Fill up the weight with better armor or something like that

Use better tires

What are the arms, I can't see them.

Whoops, used the wrong screenshot for the internals >.<
But meh, it's pretty much the same as the original's, except with Iron spikes instead of Spike Strips

it's better, but i 'm not sure you should go far in a tourney with that bot yet.

first, like Naryar likes to tell it, avoid black battery.

Second, smasher (horizontal burst motor) are very hard to build as deadly bot : compare to whipper (those which turns on themselve) they give hardest beat but so less often that they can't expect much victory.

Third, if you look at bots like 'enfilad' (bbean) or deprivator (raw), you will see that they have much more weapons attached to there burst motor, each strike is thus more deadly.

So, how to do a good smasher ? well i don't know !

why not suggesting to ACAM a "BOT of the month "on this subject : heavy horizontal smasher : maybe we will see good innovation ?

what you should do to improve your bot is to raise weapon on its top (see
Psycho sweepr of Urjak in BBEan 4), once you will be under a bot, -> it will be hurt by these vertical weapons and it should not escape while you cut its wheels with your lateral strikes : this is the idea of infernal contraption which forbiden any escape once it holds a bot.

anyway, i like you paint job.

Techno Destructo wheels would be better, I think.
Lower ground clearence & better grip.

Somebody · « **Reply #35 on:** February 23, 2009, 01:38:34 PM »

I would go with some weapon motor guards, and also, it would have to be a DSL BOTM, because either Frag Beetle or Vise would win a stock one.

Naryar · « **Reply #36 on:** February 23, 2009, 02:08:51 PM »

-Paintjob is cool
-Better management of space = :D
-N-20's suck. Indeed, Techno Destructo's. (it'll be really fast though)
-WP836E's suck. Plus, the bot is underpowered (do not underpower bots with active burst motors) and looks like it has low battery power. I'd go with 4 battlepacks and 4 ants.
-The 41kg of rear armor would be more useful as better chassis armor IMO (titanium is the best, then plastic)
-You can put a double metal hinge wedge on that, or maybe even a single snapper wedge.

Mmm, but the back was a bit weak spot on the previous version though. I'll see what I can do though =)
