As to not spam up Sage's RAW thread with pics of our own bots, and so that we won't have to look through 20 threads to find bots. Just post your RAW bot here:-D (if you want to). That way everyone will know where to look.
I will start with mine: Thor 3

The second pic is missing 30 kgs because of a top plate that is missing. (A 30kg Titanium sheet to be exact)

Ha!

Yeah, this is my RAW entry, the second version of Infernal Contraption. Was fighting against Grog and... THAT happened. The game lagged when i ripped off his spinner shell.

Same drive as Infernal Contraption 1. Weapons powered by dual Magmotor gearboxes (something like TWM3R2). Four battlepacks.

I was sticking to beater bars and heavy DS teeth, but these razors are extremely damaging and not as frail as I expected.

And, great thing, IC 2 now features 5mm Ti armor !

That is probably the weirdest Havoc Explosion result that I have ever seen. Infernal Contraption 2 looks...deadly.

If you want to see how it works, it is on the last match in this video.

Madiaba · « **Reply #4 on:** September 12, 2008, 08:02:30 AM »

In the vid it looks fairly stable, Joe. Nice job.
I'm trying to picture how it'll do against Someone's and Nar's potent bots, but I can't seem to picture an obvious victor. Have to wait and see.

Naryar · « **Reply #5 on:** September 12, 2008, 08:43:31 AM »

Well, there's NO way IC 2 can't get under Thor 3- look at that big ground clearance.

Against Destroyer (what a generic name...), I really don't know - Destroyer can't possibly flip IC 2's wedge design and IC 2 won't get under Destroyer easily. I have the edge in defense/mobility, he has the edge in offense.

These DSL bars are a great idea indeed. I find them more cool-looking than the usual hinged wedge.

I feel bold, so I'm gonna post it.

Somebody · « **Reply #7 on:** September 12, 2008, 03:29:56 PM »

Only 25 to go. All these bots look good. Naryar, when you said alot of Ground Clearance, did you mean Thor 3 or IC 2, because Thor gets under Smashbox 2 EASILY.

I like your bot, Nar, cool design, but I can't picture how it would do battling a large VS. You may be right, we'll see. Hope you do well.

Nice bot, K-3. Watching these big VSs go at it will be fun.

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** September 12, 2008, 03:54:08 PM »

Thor 3.

But if Thor 3 can get under Critical Emergency or Second Sentinel, he has better wedges than IC 2. IDK about Smashbox, at all...

If it continues like that, it is gonna be better than BBEANS 4 bot-wise, because all these bots look good. (Ripterra's now way outdated, huh, SB?)

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** September 12, 2008, 04:01:15 PM »

(sorry for the double post, but can't edit my previous one)

@Mad: Well it is Neglected Waterbug DSL...

Against a Mako clone with the same wedge system it should be fine, but against a bot like Far Cry with small wedges or Destroyer with no wedges... i really have doubts.

I think Infernal Contraption will have seriously more trouble than his little brother.

The names are intentionally generic, and there are some times when it will tip over even with those bars, like it did at 5:30 in the video.

Somebody · « **Reply #12 on:** September 12, 2008, 05:22:21 PM »

Yes, I do think that Ripterra is a little (alot) outdated.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 12, 2008, 08:07:42 PM »

Here is a new video, and incase you want to see how well mine can really do, watch what Destroyer does to Mako

.

Hazardous Contraption's greatest strength is its drive, in my opinion. It wouldn't be half as good if it was any slower. For that reason I don't think Infernal Contraption will be quite as dangerous--at least it will be possible to escape from. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I think it would be a lot better with 4WD.

Not that it's not scary enough as is... especially when I'm entering another flail-hammer bot! Probably also the only one. Yay for novelty designs!

Epic Flailure has an ace up its sleeve, though... you can't see it well in the picture, but it has armor covering most of the bottom. All it needs is a few opponents with exposed tops.

Oh, and those battle shots vs. TuniT 3 and Shebeast are with AI vs. AI. I just fought Big Metal Friend as human to show how much damage it can do.

JoeCB1991 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 12, 2008, 10:10:21 PM »

I like the idea.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2008, 01:32:18 AM »

Hahaha. System Failure... Epic Failure...

I did a large version of Enfilade for my RAW bot. Presenting obZen:

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** September 13, 2008, 04:35:58 AM »

This is Infernal Contraption 1

This is Infernal Contraption 2

Same drive train, the screenshot isn't just as precise as the first.

For the differences between 1 and 2, I slightly resized the chassis, swapped two ant batts for a battlepack, and other things (i didn't really needed a heavy skirt for the lower wedge), but most importantly changed the weapons because these Magmotors on hinges (quasi vertical weapons) wobbled too much to be efficient, and upgraded the armor from 3mm Ti to 5mm Ti (i rarely use heavy armor). But the drive is the same.

These DSL cutting teeth are supposed to fend off HS attacks, but they're nearly useless.

________

But it isn't as efficient (in his weight class) as HazCon.

In fact for this design, I think MW is the best class to go. I don't really know if i can make a LW version, and that said it won't be very efficient because of the need to have wedges and two spinning weapons (these will be piglets for sure).

Good thing, the arena hasn't a central blade, so InfCon 2's can rush in and strike quickly.

And another good thing, that HazCon never did...

Somebody · « **Reply #18 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:43:40 AM »

The side teeth look cool though
obZen is the first bot I have see that I am having doubts about me being able to beat it.

Its kind of cool how everyone is sort of still thinking of BBEANS with their Raw bots. Examples:
Somestrangeguy's bot is Smoker's Revenge
Naryar's is a HW of his BBEANS bot.
So is Click's
ROBOSH4RK built a HW version of his BBEANS bot.

There are more people posting on this thread than I thought there would be.
