would be better so it has some more pushing power, but are there any grippy wheels about the same size and weight?

Vlads.

*cough*

No, there are no grippy wheels at this weight. The only grippy wheels are over 16 kg excepted the wide ant wheel.


I do like the design anyways, but i am not sure about it's efficiency.

Nice, but may be a bit big.

i do think i can shrink the chassis by making it wedge shaped. that may give me just that extra bit of weight fore some strong improvement. not sure tho, but i will experiment around with it more. will be a V2 then as this one has already proven to be pretty good in combat for me.

'cos it's too good to criticise, (like my bots)
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

new bot:
first time i made a HW in DSL. armour is 5mm steel.

i am quite pleased with the bot, but you people will probably think differently about this.

A SnS?  It would be better if it was faster, but it sure looks tough to break through.  Kinda cool how it's sort of like a rammer/SnS hybrid.


Might be better with 4 Magmotor drive, one wheel on each side.  It would still be slow for a SnS, but it would be twice as fast as it is now.  You don't need 5mm steel; you can reduce the armor to get weight for extra drive.


Or else 2 E-tek drive--it would be better as a rammer also that way.

it indeed isn't that fast and needs time to get to a good spinning speed. then it's still slow. *is already brewing some building ideas*
what armour to reduce it to? it will take a lot to break the defence of this bot, but i don't want to by taken down with 2 blows in the chassis.

So i'm not the only one that makes bots not at all alike but give them the same name series? lol
i have done that for quite a long time. my first bot was called vulcan and used the name a lot. i have my stock N-disc series and now also the struggle series. and all my BW bot are the Box series.

you took my idea =O its okay tho lol

anyways, I thing it might get flipped easily do to the wheels. How does it do in battle?
i raided your brain for food and found this. battles pretty good. enemy's often damage themselves in attempt to attack me.

My Storm Demon is better :P

At least NPC Fast drive. NPC Fasts are awesome.

o rly? i bet that when i pee on it, it would still break down. =P

NPC Fasts are indeed awesome but with the space i have, no. i already had rebuild the chassis to be able to put in 4 Mags and still be able to get the axle mounted defence (it is far from finished).i don't see how i can have the axle mounted part when i use NPC Fasts.

Try 4WD NPC (or Fasts, if you can) with a smaller chassis, and it'll be faster. :P
