Here's my first AW, Jackhammer. 1mm steel, and you can see the rest.

I would've used 1mm plastic and a 25kg hammer, but I couldn't shave off 1.8kg from the chassis without making the attachments unrealistic.

And most of you must've already seen Grey Matter (either from CC or NAR AI, they're the same). But after seeing how hard NAR AI is, I decided to improve my old team as well. So here's Grey Matter 2:

3mm plastic, NPCFs, everything else is visible. I kinda liked Dark Matter's style, so I mixed it with Grey Matter's power and I came up with that. What annoys me though, is that it occassionally gyro dances when it steers too fast and it also bounces from time to time during the start of the match. I might use Hypnos instead and widen its stance for the next revision. :D

this seems like a promising show case.
to follow.

Maybe a little too fast for my taste, but pretty good.

Also steel fail.

PB: Thanks. :D

Nary: I had about 1-2kg left on Jackhammer when I used 1mm tite so I used steel instead. And sometimes GM2's speed is also its weakness. Its speed combined with SnSnSnSnS's power would fling both bots OOTA in the Electric Arena 2 (though sometimes SnSnSnSnS would stay in the arena). XD

I love the look of it and it looks effective too....

I was thinking CCIV (if it exists) would be HW again but who knows, its rather far away to really have anything set in concrete

Pwnator · « **Reply #25 on:** September 21, 2009, 03:32:41 AM »

Heh. GM2 couldn't beat half of NAR AI shell spinners (primarily because of the insane KE from the hammers, though it would fare better against the ones with irons and razors). But if CCIV is going to be HW, I assure you that I wouldn't enter a VS this time. :P

that JackHammer is pretty good, Better than my Fruit Drill... >.<

Darn. Missed SC's birthday. Belated happy birthday anyway, Starcore! :D

And here's a new old bot! :P

Some of you might have seen Dreamcatcher already from NAR AI. And since I'm rebuilding the whole team...

It seems like DC's the easiest bot to rebuild. It now has a slightly smaller (and lower) chassis, upgraded from carrots (I love the nickname) to small beater bars. Also upgraded the armor (forgot the former one) to 5mm plastic. It only improved slightly performance-wise, but an improvement nonetheless.

Currently building Grey Matter 3 at the moment, but the weapons keep AGODing. D:

Naryar · « **Reply #28 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:20:30 PM »

AAAAH YOU GOT SLASHBACK 2

Seems the fight was a difficult one though...

Also you should get 50kg hammers rather than these 45 ones + beater bars.

That AW gives me ideas for a new BW poker...

Naryar · « **Reply #30 on:** September 27, 2009, 02:52:51 PM »

hehehehe i just realized that only MY popup gave you trouble... not Ounce's or Urjak's !

Pwnator · « **Reply #31 on:** September 28, 2009, 10:50:12 AM »

Yeah, I was surprised that it actually had a harder time against some steep wedged bots (Insanity was slightly easier, though).

Anyway, here's the second rebuild for the team:

Infection sucks a lot since it's too slow and it's not protected well. This version is a huge step up. NPCs, 3mm plastic, and 4 razors. Though it uses skirt hinges, I was lucky to be able to make it get under some of the metal hinges (

, it gets under Enfilad3 from time to time! AI'd!). It still hates SnSs, though. :D

Naryar · « **Reply #32 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:01:49 AM »

Bah. Too fast.

Pwnator · « **Reply #33 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:05:29 AM »

Couldn't beat MWs without it. XD

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #34 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:09:25 AM »

mmmm yeah I would prefer to slow it down as well...

Pwnator · « **Reply #35 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:11:10 AM »

I'll see what I can do. But Infection 2 will stay as is. A slower version will be on another team. :D

Reier · « **Reply #36 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:20:22 AM »

<3 skin

Naryar · « **Reply #37 on:** September 28, 2009, 11:25:49 AM »

Yeah you would be better off with 3mm plastic and Magmotor drive.

And Insanity is really weak as well...

<3 skin, very original !

Fixed

Pwnator · « **Reply #38 on:** September 29, 2009, 10:45:40 AM »

Now I'm REALLY happy that Infection 2 had NPC drive! Because...

First try. It couldn't go under HazCon most of the time, but it still did. XD

Anyway, here's the rebuild for Paper Cut:

When I first built Paper Cut, it became my best bot (Nary also agreed on that before). But this time, I spent some time to improve it. 3mm plastic, 6 razors, 9 ants (yes I'm 4 short but it still performs nicely) and NPCF drive. BUT IT STILL COULDN'T GET UNDER THE DEVIL'S LIME!!! >:E

[sarcasm]Oh, and I made a new skin specifically for this bot.[/sarcasm]

Sooooo a Zapper clone. >:O :P
