Nice job! I really like them all.

Gyroscopic Degree is really cool. It also has a nice compact chassis.

Odd Redirection Code is impressive. How fast is it? If you have the weight, you might want different wheels.

Figurehead is amazing. It must be really quick with 8 wheel drive. Just wondering, do the hammers extend out in front of the razors?

keep up the good work.

first off let me fix the name of the first one. the font type isn't that clear with the S. it's Gyrotic Desire. i do wonder how you came with Gyroscopic. chassis is compact bit now still need to change the mount for the piglet... and this also probably the skirts and stuff.

ORC isn't that fast and those wheels were the best i could find at that time, looking at the weight of the wheels.

Figurehead really is fast with 8 NPC Fasts. it actually is able to ram itself out of the arena. at the centre the hammers don't come into play, but when an enemy is a bit off with its aim.. or be being off with aiming, the hammers do get to hit.

yay me, i made LW bots to show.

not bad at all, but flipping power decreases quickly as i wasn't able to put in much battery's.

at first i didn't even intend to build a popup. i know it's underpowered, but it works very well for me. and i like the name =]

Nice popup, upgrade the armour if you can.
As for the flipper, wayyyyy tooooo slow. You need at least Mag+Hypno (i.e. like my one) or more

Naryar · « **Reply #84 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:29:20 AM »

yup, the flipper's too slow

powerrave · « **Reply #85 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:32:08 AM »

can't upgrade armour, makes it overweight.

dunno about the speed on HM, fast enough IMO. oh well, then i'll mass downgrade armour.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #86 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:33:40 AM »

I'm a bit confused as to where you lost weight on the flipper.
I can get most of that in a cube chassis with Mag drive.

powerrave · « **Reply #87 on:** October 10, 2010, 11:41:31 AM »

dunno. Ti 3 armour and 2 BSG take up most weight i guess.

Just have one wedge in the middle, and make it metal hinge -> 20x40 DSL Bar -> Small Wedge. Drops 4.4kg from your current setup, and wedge is better for it.

MassimoV · « **Reply #89 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:01:44 PM »

I like both. If you can you should try to make the flipper's chassis cubed. I'm just thinking along the lines of CC4.

*cough* Everyone's done that now, it's soooo last month.

powerrave · « **Reply #91 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:10:30 PM »

this upgrade made the wedge... i dunno, not tested yet. and is just a tiny little bit faster, nothing worth noting.

weight now is 249 exact. armour steel 1

Exposed rear extender=BAD

powerrave · « **Reply #93 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:53:47 PM »

its acts as stabiliser.

Somebody · « **Reply #94 on:** October 10, 2010, 05:22:53 PM »

You are going to want something better holding your drive. I would say a flipper segment.

NFX · « **Reply #95 on:** October 10, 2010, 05:33:00 PM »

Remove the stabiliser altogether and use a Flipper Segment, like Somebody says. If you make it 90/60 degree, it's as long as you can get. And I might put TWMR3's on with Hypnos, if you have the weight. If not, drop down to Tite 1, it's more efficient than Steel.

ANOTHER cube flipper? *groans*

powerrave · « **Reply #97 on:** October 11, 2010, 05:14:41 AM »

with the flipper segments and hypno wheels, i had to downgrade armour to plastic 1. i also tested the wedge and it feels like it is actually worse then the setup it had first. this entire modifying the bot made the bot worse then it was at first.

powerrave · « **Reply #98 on:** October 11, 2010, 06:18:51 AM »

DP: i changed the Mags for Slimbody's with hypno's. so now it is a tat slower, but atleast i could upgrade stuff instead of downgrade. changed Alu skirts to Ti skirts and armour back to Steel 1. the wedge... tho i was able to outwedge the old HM, i'm still unsure about it.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #99 on:** October 11, 2010, 07:52:57 AM »

Look at the LW cube flipper in my showcase, it has mag+Hypno and decent armour.
