So I moved to make a bot for the August BOTM after hearing about it - on the 31st July (Yeah, I'm well out of it)
Finished it today to find the votes are already being made.

Spins downwards. It's competent for a bot only intended for show but not definitely not a ground breaking design. Ravages any wedge it can get under.

Take a look at the collision mesh of the hypno teeth. You're probably going to want to change them.

RedSawn · « **Reply #122 on:** August 02, 2010, 10:03:45 AM »

Oh finally, a comment.

Well, they sure seem to be working fine... but either way the bot's really intended for show.

Somebody · « **Reply #123 on:** August 02, 2010, 10:49:02 AM »

Well if its only for show then it looks fantastic!

:D

Looks great!

Condor33 · « **Reply #125 on:** August 02, 2010, 09:21:39 PM »

Looks awesome but I think Hypnos have normals.

RedSawn · « **Reply #126 on:** August 07, 2010, 06:48:57 PM »

Thanks. Nah, they don't.. atleast in NAR AI.
Anyway;

If it's one thing I'm known for, it's pitting my lighter bots in ridiculous matches. Another thing is winning them.

Had a go at HazCon LW. Titanium 1mm I believe. Control board is debatable in realism but the extra KG left means it can still exist in it's current form with a micro control board.
Previous version had a 40mm titanium sheet on a multi-extender for a pinning device. Didn't offer enough space so it was opened up with this angled extender. Does a good job so far.

Debatably underpowered. (3 ants feeding 2 mags/2 piglets)

Also been working on my CC4 entry. Slaughters Devil III, gives Shebeast a good run before getting pinned, and lasts 3 minutes with Circle of Thorns III without backing off for a second.

Wow, That looks awesome. The only thing I can think of is losing as much weight as possible so you can have 4 razors on a Hex plate instead of your current setup. Other than that, I love it.

Looks like Shilka. A lot like Shilka.
Can it self-right?

RedSawn · « **Reply #129 on:** August 07, 2010, 07:27:31 PM »

Hasn't had to so far. The titanium sheet-stop version got beached. Since the angled extender is much lower down I think it'd brush the discs/teeth, so atleast it has a theoretical chance.

EDIT: What is Shilka?

Somebody · « **Reply #130 on:** August 08, 2010, 07:41:40 AM »

Temi's BBEANS 6 bot. It was in the wild card rounds.

RedSawn · « **Reply #131 on:** August 08, 2010, 08:38:21 AM »

Oooh.. yeah. It only has similarities in the weapon and I suppose drive system though.
The original version used beater bars.. I'd consider going back to them if they didn't leave such a gap in the middle of the bot where the discs wouldn't reach.

Somebody · « **Reply #132 on:** August 08, 2010, 09:50:30 AM »

I think you're fine as is. How well does it gut-rip if a bot jumps on top?

RedSawn · « **Reply #133 on:** August 08, 2010, 03:26:32 PM »

Results are actually mixed - since the discs hang over the wedge, unless the opponent likes to wheelie or has a high ground clearance, it's hard to even get it up there onto the discs. When it does it's pretty good.
Stable targets with low-ground clearance (I.E: Nearly everything) can get pinned by the bot's forward motion if it sticks on the wedge and be continually grinded at by the spikes, but it's not as effective as gutripping.

Both cool bots. I should ripoff that LW.

RedSawn · « **Reply #135 on:** October 28, 2010, 07:25:27 AM »

First robot submission since my PC harddrive screwed up! So I've lost everything. Unless Sage wishes to donate Doomsday Device, LRA2 with DETERGENCY, I can get Big Flip's Revenge from the BBEANS pack ofcourse, eventually AoN (DDMW isn't so good :P) .. basically, whatever tourney bots people still have.

This is my proposed entry for that Robot Wars Resurrected thing FOTEPX is doing. Even did the splash in pseudo-RW style :D

And here's the robot itself, just because the paintjob is class :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #136 on:** October 28, 2010, 07:29:23 AM »

What's with the red extender lolz.

AND THAT MUST SELF-RIGHT (or at least scuttle around)

RedSawn · « **Reply #137 on:** October 28, 2010, 07:33:00 AM »

Let's just a say it's an X-Terminator 2 knockoff, with a fake rotating light

It can definitely self-right when on it's front wedge (But I don't think that'd happen often)
Falls onto it's back if flipped onto it's side and tries to self-right, does scuttle a little on it's back (Might even go onto the rear with an assisting light push)
And on it's rear.. could probably use axe momentum to go upright.

It's not DESIGNED to self right

How did you make the Splash!? O_O And it's beautiful. <3

G.K. · « **Reply #139 on:** October 28, 2010, 07:49:39 AM »

The bot is brilliant - and I'll see if I can find the PM for DETERGENCY.
