well thanks to CCAI pwn can test that fact in the very same arena :P

Yep, and it lost. XD

Now I'm working on the 2nd team for NAR AI, with Jackhammer, Hard Hat and an updated version of Flight Instructor (removed a Vlad spike and amped up drive to slims). And with them is a new bot, Umbra:

3mm Tite, 11 ants, NPCF drive, 2 Hammer 4s and 2 60kg sledges. Heavily inspired by Stratosphere, I tried to improve its spinup time while retaining its damage potential. With respect to NAR AI, Umbra only has above average wedges, but it can be a pain to get out of its grasp if it gets under you. But with the itty bitty chassis, 3mm tite here feels like 1mm plastic in Mako. I might downgrade some of the skirts so I can add 3 casters under the chassis. :D

use a dsl bar instead of a disc

Pwnator · « **Reply #84 on:** November 01, 2009, 07:48:16 AM »

I would love to, but it AGODs every time I use other components. Even the holed and armored discs make them AGOD. Besides, the HP the solid disc has is quite handy when dealing against shell and HSes.

DM543's right... DSL bars are better than discs HP-wise.

Pwnator · « **Reply #86 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:13:19 AM »

I remade Umbra, and now has a 20x120 DSL bar (the hammers are 3 pixels away from hitting the batteries :O) and a 20x40 bar on the other side of the axle for extra protection. It's slightly better since the hammers stick out a bit more so that means the shell spinners are going to have a harder time. Fortunately, its AGOD is totally harmless (both meshes are aligned perfectly but are rotated out of place), so I kept it like that. Also, here's the new Flight Instructor, and they're both in an Inglourious Basterds-themed team along with Jackhammer and Hard Hat. :D

And yes, The Apache de-shell Bane II every time. >=D

[Edit] Lol, I just realized Apache scored 12345 when Bane glitched out. XD

IDK how you managed to stabilize a metal hinged heavy duty VS without rear stabilizers...

Beware the long belt Perm though. They have only 400 HP and this one isn't protected at all .

Edit: Did you ripped that off Click's Darkling 5 ?

Pwnator · « **Reply #88 on:** November 03, 2009, 05:53:17 AM »

I originally thought of making a dual VS using Stratosphere's body setup, but I found it to be inefficient, so I used a single Perm EL instead. And I ran into the stability problem in the early stages, so the 'eagle wings' actually help in stabilizing, and they also make it look cool. XD

Also, the 60kg sledges also help a bit in adding front weight and slightly protecting the Perm at the same time. I never had the motor ripped off before. :D

DP!

Here's the MW for the team, The Bear Jew:

Using Paper Cut 3's chassis, it has 3mm plastic, and NPCF drive. It also has 3 ants, 2 medium Pumas, 2 large BBs, 2 medium BBs and 2 small BBs on a Storm Burst, with 4 Overkill blades and 3 bear claws (just for the name, but they do have its advantages). After seeing Nary's Blade Barrier, I wanted to make my own anti-gutripper variant. The wedge is really great, but if a double-wedged opponent struggles enough one of its wedges might get under, though it's not much of a biggie since the piston pushes it away. I might do some weapon tweaking especially on the piston, but it'll do for now. :D

Naryar · « **Reply #90 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:29:46 AM »

Blade Barrier is still better :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #91 on:** November 04, 2009, 05:35:15 AM »

Duh. I had to sacrifice full invertibility for the trapper. XD

Naryar · « **Reply #92 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:33:53 AM »

And i didnt even mentioned weapons with normals...

Pwnator · « **Reply #93 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:35:18 AM »

I know the claws have normals, but I wanted something that relates to the name. XD

Naryar · « **Reply #94 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:38:19 AM »

Well you should have used something else than Overkill blades then !

And you're wasting weight on the spinner panel as well rather than using it for weapons... and not fully invertible = BAD.

I'm not saying it's a bad bot though, i just think it could be better :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #95 on:** November 04, 2009, 06:51:33 AM »

By not fully invertible I meant 'Cadet-scooting-around-while-inverted'. But yeah, I'm currently struggling to make a vertical trapper while making it fully invertible. I'll probably swap the 4 Overkills to beater bar arms or something like that. And the shell plate is attached to the piston. :D

Hey, I modified Cadet just a little so it is full-invertible now! ;D

Pwnator · « **Reply #97 on:** November 06, 2009, 04:17:43 AM »

A tweaked the skirt hinge and it's fully invertible now! XD

Anyway, TBJ is still not performing to my standards, and I'm having a hard time rebuilding it. So here's the updated Paper Cut 4!

Nothing inside was changed, but I downgraded the armor to 3mm plastic, and now has small wedges and tite skirts. It can cream almost all of the NAR AI MWs and most of the HWs.

Now to built the last bot for the 2nd team... x_x

Naryar · « **Reply #98 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:45:25 AM »

HOW IN THE NINE HELLS DID THAT HAPPENED ????!?

Hopefully it's not AI-ed :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #99 on:** November 06, 2009, 05:47:52 AM »

Ohohoh, all of those matches were AI'ed (but its match against TAC was still scary :O). XD
