Space can be used more efficiently, otherwise pretty good.

smoke on the water 3's pitiful performance in 2 tribes has prompted me to rebuild it:

same insides as the original but with steel 3 armour

Important question: Does it spikeball to crap like it's predecessor?

Tweedy · « **Reply #266 on:** July 27, 2012, 01:50:38 PM »

Thankfully not

I think the reach is too short

i think you can use a skirt hinge to attach both motors, but i'm not sure if the reach will get any better.

what you are saying will save him 1kg which he wont be able to use for anything and will cause havoks like there's no tomorrow. and it will bounce around like crazy

you think?:

btw, i'm going to post 2 new bots soon in my showcase

Your design involves a Dual Perm (which can counteract the flex due to gravity), and a disc which minimizes AGOD due to evenly distributed components.

His has Perms (and will immediately flex if one motor spins up faster than the other), and bars, which are already glitchy as is (imagine how many times you would have to rebuild it to get an evenly glitched one, let alone an unglitched setup.

So no, it's most definitely not worth the risk nor the effort. He would've been better off with more strategically placed MEs.

And stop talking back against a user who has specialized in these designs. It makes you look stupid.

Gauche I swear the next time you post some bad advice and think you're better than people that have more than twice your experience in RA2, I will start doing things worse for you than repdowns. And it's not like it's the first time.

Now on topic, on the bot, still looks pretty unstable. Have you AI-ed it and tested it enough against various bot types ?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #273 on:** July 28, 2012, 12:54:16 PM »

Maybe you could widen the stabilizers a little to get better reach?

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #274 on:** July 28, 2012, 01:20:53 PM »

some people should be banned from giving advice...

he could try attaching the perms to the sides of the multi extenders or use a different attachment point on the perms for better reach.

I tested Daedelus 2's wedges on NARAI last night and it can outwedge HNM4 about 50% of the time and it can outwedge 3rd sentinel 2/3 times

new shell spinner:

3 ants, plastic 5 armour, npc fast drive, 36 razors each on a flail, 6 mag weapon motor

NFX · « **Reply #277 on:** July 31, 2012, 10:05:52 AM »

Generic, but effective. Good solid build. Maybe a self-righting flag or something might help.

Tweedy · « **Reply #278 on:** July 31, 2012, 10:11:12 AM »

Turns out there were 4 ants in there so I removed one and added the flag:

It needs bottom protection, especially if you are going to use a weak motor for such a large shell.
