Well I got copyright claims. :P

Yep, the next BOTM should be food-themed. XD

Not only do I love to eat tofu... but one of my first effective bots was named "Tofu Delivery" (a reference to the anime Initial D)

Video: Wow, dang... that video is old.

Excellent bot! I agree with PWN too :P

I was surprised to find that the thing is still stable after losing 2 hammers right next to each other.

The hammers also spin right...? :O

Reier · « **Reply #569 on:** October 03, 2009, 12:47:14 PM »

Yes, but it would probably be better if they were stationary.

moving hammers arnt all bad, if it gets put on the wall the hammers will roll it off :-D

Great idea putting the hammers on the wheels so they spin as well... and technically do increase damage (slightly), plus less extender work.

However you don't need that many ants, i think.

Teh spinny hammers also make it a bit less stable I think because the mesh is a rectangular prism or whatever instead of round or a hexagon.

Wow, one of Firebeetle's best MW rammers back in the pre-forum days was called Tofu.

Why is Tofu such a popular bot name? It makes no sense! FB was just being random when he named that bot!

Anyway, that bot looks really good. I've always thought about making a SnS like that but never actually done it.

You are going to want to get the hammers out farther because a fast bot can sneak under the hammers. With the way that the hammers rotate, wouldn't it also have a tendency to climb wedges?

Reier · « **Reply #575 on:** October 07, 2009, 08:19:26 AM »

Tried the hammers farther out, and it wasn't as good because when it got swept up on a wedge, it couldn't get as good a hold on the ground cause they were in the way.

90%+ of my AWs havok and this one didn't so I'm happy.

3mm plastic. Had to BFE the chassis to get it low enough, but it's realistic.

Reier · « **Reply #577 on:** October 07, 2009, 01:41:31 PM »

DP to the DP.

Made a MW SnS:

Sometimes it spins "normal speed" (Like Haymaker), and sometimes it spins faster than it should. The axles fly out of the motors like a foot. Not as stable as TOFU/Convoy because less front/back support but still a killer.

Edit: 4 ants and 5mm plastic I think.

<3 the AW
BFEing the chassis height is legal IMO, if you take a look at the other AWs in DSL and some other bots too, you will notice that you cant get the chassis that low without BFE.

MW
Looks pretty good.

Cool FBSs, Reier; esp. Tofu.
If you'e able, a vid would be cool to see them in action...
