i like it
weak armor is weak but you know that
its an uused design which is a strength
and a weakness as well

So I saw some videos of ComBots and this amazing Spinner. I wanted to create one (middleweight as usual) but ended up with a lightweight that seems extremely effective! I'm very happy with how it turned out for it's weight class.

As always I really do like seeing comments on my bots. It makes me happy to see peoples reactions. Helps me learn and know what looks good/bad or works well/doesn't.

Updated bot/stats:

Before Edit (I still like this bot a lot. I think it does better in quite a bit of combat situations compared to Edit #1)

Standard
Armor: Aluminum 1
Weight: 246.9

Edit #1

Standard
Armor: Aluminum 3
Weight: 245.5

Not too bad at all. It's maybe worth shrinking the chassis down a bit further and compacting everything as much as possible to get either more weaponry or better armour as the armour you have is pretty weak.

that looks good, could probably beat any of my standard middleweights, but yea it could use better armor or more weapons

Puppy · « **Reply #44 on:** June 05, 2014, 04:28:16 AM »

Updated the bot. It has much more survive ability. I removed excess weapon components that weren't helping in fights to get enough weight for more armor. The weapon overall hasn't changed much. Wheels also act as decent protection as well (as long as they stay on). Thoughts?

replace the small control board with a blue one. the blue one is lighter

Looks better, although the weapon durability worries me. You might be able to upgrade those small beaters to medium if you do what Shield said.

Puppy · « **Reply #47 on:** June 06, 2014, 01:09:57 AM »

That was barely, just barely, overweight. Anyhow, I decided to create a middleweight spinner and here it is! It seems to work rather well in combat.

Updated bot/stats:
Armor: Aluminum 3
Weight: 398.3

Edit: Added 4th image to show weapon doesn't hit the tires or any inner components. Hard to get a good picture instead of video. It doesn't hit any of the inner components or itself (barely).

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #48 on:** June 06, 2014, 05:09:42 AM »

I really hope it doesn't cut through those wheels...

cephalopod · « **Reply #49 on:** June 06, 2014, 05:34:08 AM »

Yeah, realism is my concern here. Do the hammers cut through anything?

at least to me i think the spinner is on top of the bot meaning it wont cut through things
but if it does thats bad

martymidget · « **Reply #51 on:** June 06, 2014, 09:19:19 AM »

too much drive. Honestly you probably had the top limit before, but now..

Puppy · « **Reply #52 on:** June 06, 2014, 02:49:47 PM »

The hammers cut through the armor a bit. I'm not good at painting the bot so I had no way to represent. The batteries/controls/tires are all safe from the spinner.

Yeah, I kinda agree. But these motors fit the best and aren't to overpowered that I'm worried about it.

Edit: I was more worried about the belt/weapon not having a support beam, but that fell under the game mechanics so I felt Standard was still a thing. I'm adding an image to show it doesn't hit tires/parts to the bot post.

Naryar · « **Reply #53 on:** June 06, 2014, 03:01:51 PM »

No, Marty, a fast HS is fine. We need more of these.

martymidget · « **Reply #54 on:** June 06, 2014, 04:22:37 PM »

wait, that's a MW. Durr.

That's fine then, lol.

Puppy · « **Reply #55 on:** June 06, 2014, 05:48:00 PM »

And now for this. Not sure what categories bots really fall under. Either way I was inspired by another video I saw and made this.

Updated bot/stats:
IRL
Armor: Plastic 3
Weight: 394.9

Philippa · « **Reply #56 on:** June 06, 2014, 05:53:44 PM »

That's not Standard, that's IRL building.

Also with a name like Puppy I would try to run away from Jonzu if I were you.

Anything that classifies as IRL is on accident :P I don't know much about IRL stuff and intend my bots to be good in-game against opponents. But, thank you? :3

Puppy · « **Reply #58 on:** June 06, 2014, 06:55:07 PM »

A new attempt at a previous bot I built. Unneeded armor but wasn't sure what else to put in that area. I would make the weapon better but then I don't have room for the forks I want.

Updated bot/stats:
IRL
Armor: Steel 5
Weight: 388.6

Edit: Changed the forks a bit. (Shown in left.)
