Cheers, it'll probably be Option C then, maybe I'll edit it quickly so the hexplate extender sits under a flippermaker for protection.

Any other ideas for a movie based AI team?

The Ring, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Polterguiste.

Sue me.

Is this a first? A (kind of) serious AW DSL popup?

Micro Launch Platform beat you by about two years.

naryar made an AW named Deep Cut (its in nar ai under robotic ruin i believe), but this is probably the first side popup. his also had a razor/mcb wedge

Ah, fair enough. Yeah, being beat by 2 years fits with being gone for 2 or 3 years.

No, you certainly did not.

I'm still trying to come up with ideas for this team I am going to call Hollywood's Finest.
In the meantime, Good Burger v2.

124.9kg, increased damage, actually gets under things, but at the cost of 1mm Plastic instead of 1mm Titanium. Worth it though.

Naryar · « **Reply #189 on:** February 10, 2013, 07:24:01 AM »

a razor would be better in terms of both damage and collision mesh.

RedSawn · « **Reply #190 on:** February 10, 2013, 07:29:26 AM »

True, but at the same time a razor havoks 90% of the time the weapon is fired, and has to be fit in the chassis in a way that doesn't pass through the blue controller or the BSG, but also doesn't poke out of the chassis and become the equivalent of a non-damaging flipper. I don't have a spare gram, let alone a kilo for the small controller.

Nope. It's robot-related.

You're seriously going to try to argue that was a constructive post aren't you?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #193 on:** February 10, 2013, 09:09:13 AM »

If you're planning on making Good Burger part of the LDAI team then make it a weaponless flipper, popups aren't IRL.

Still useless.

RedSawn · « **Reply #195 on:** February 11, 2013, 06:45:43 AM »

To comply with regulations, Good Burger now uses a 40cm Titanium extender for it's flipper. Now, moving on...

Godzilla isn't designed to win by knockout. It's designed to survive, relentlessly pushing forward, attacks bouncing off a nigh impervious defence while chewing up it's opponent with the jaws and ferocity of such a mighty beast. Nothing's managed to get it under 90% health yet in 3 minute testing.

That's an Extra Wide armor plate on the front between the spike strips.

Nice.

Been watching Nostalgia Critic have we?
Good bot man. Looks cool and clean.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #198 on:** February 11, 2013, 06:16:59 PM »

4npc (fasts?) + rubbers isnt even that pushy.

looks very tough (for an irl bot anyway) though.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #199 on:** February 11, 2013, 06:19:19 PM »

Nicely put together, but as Mr.Awesum pointed out, the lack of drivetrain "oomph" is a worry for a bot with such limited versatility in terms of how it will win battles.
