Wrong. But anyways, you definitely don't need technos for a S-DSL BW. Try getting tornados or vlads, get faster motors, and a stronger extender.

Good evening again.

First thing's first--CONGRATULATIONS MASSIMOV FOR POSTING THE 100th REPLY

I'D MAKE A SMILEY PARADE, BUT I WOULD LIKELY GET WARNINGIZED FOR IT!

[info]Warningize (v.) To increase one's warning level on Gametechmods.com for any reason, most commonly from spamming or trolling.[/info]

Second thing's second--UPDATE! on Speedy

Armor is Titanium 3.

The drive is 16kg lighter than before. This allowed me to increase the armor strength and the extender strength.

Thoughts?

You've actually made it worse. Despite the better drive, it's spaced narrowly which reduces its spinning speed. Get ants on mags and it should spin almost as fast as your first one.

Good evening, Pwn.

I know that you give good advice, and I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help me (either that or you are just whacking me).

Armor is Plastic 3
This might have been a bad idea, but I modified your suggestion while generally keeping it the same: widen the wheel base. These 40cm CF extenders have the same HP as a 20cm Polycarb extender.
EDIT: Those are now 60cm CF extenders.
Thoughts?

Although I hate SnS, I think it's a lot better than before.

Pwnator · « **Reply #105 on:** July 21, 2013, 02:09:22 AM »

In general, strong motors with weak wheels are better than slow motors and nice wheels, as a fast spinning speed renders your weak wheels virtually invulnerable (unless you're against a wedge, which is pretty much a hard counter anyway).

So yeah, upgrading to mags is still the recommended choice.

And no, I don't whack people (at least intentionally hahahaha), but I do use sarcasm from time to time to make a point. Not this one, though. :P

Good evening, O mighty-but-not-as-mighty-as-Naryar Pwnator.

Here is the new version of Speedy with a NEW NAME!

NEW NAME! is officially 180-Degree Arc Pounder. It is a BW Rammer/Thwacker hybrid.
I took Pwn's advice and upgraded to TWM3 drive. Regular mags instead of the TWM3RD motors because wider wheelbase without extenders. If only DSL just includes the regular shafts...
By the way, armor is Plastic 3.
I downgraded the extender type to CF/Poly which allowed me to keep the Hypno wheels without sacrificing armor. Another advantage of the extender update is the fact that the new extenders have a longer reach than before.

Thoughts?

helloface · « **Reply #107 on:** July 25, 2013, 02:06:18 AM »

Looks good. FYI, the motors you are using right now are more powerful than TWM3WD drives.

Pwnator · « **Reply #108 on:** July 25, 2013, 06:07:49 AM »

Yep, that's pretty much what I expected. I guess you could still toy around with the extender type but it's pretty good as is. :3

Good evening. I have UPDATED! Cutting Wedge III and got an EXTREME CLOSEUP! of the innards.

Armor is Titanium 3 and those are fast NPCs. I want it slightly underweight so that it is fast.
I am seeking advice on the wedge. Without the skirts, I have 371kg to work with, meaning that a Titanium half-sheet is practically out of the question. The current design is still fairly wedgy and can self-right, but it isn't as wedgy as the version I showcased right before this one.

Suggestions?

Tweedy · « **Reply #110 on:** July 25, 2013, 09:09:39 PM »

You NEED a wide wedge on this, use the larger control board to save weight, you only need 7 ants for it.

Naryar · « **Reply #111 on:** July 26, 2013, 06:35:32 AM »

You failed on that wedge, make it wide else HS, SNS are gonna sweep you to the side.

Bad idea, you need all the weight on a MW popup. NPCF+hypnos is just fine in that case.

Kossokei · « **Reply #112 on:** July 26, 2013, 04:48:52 PM »

You forgot to rotate the razors so they're all orientated the same way.

Personally, I think you should rebuild a chassis wedge into the chassis. You'll still get sweeped pretty badly no matter how you fiddle around the skirts. Not sure if the two before me meant that but yeah.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #113 on:** July 26, 2013, 07:57:01 PM »

Good evening and how about now?

Armor is still Titanium 3 and those are still Fast NPCs.
I widened the wedge with the intention of bringing me one step closer to giving HS and SnS the middle razor.
Cutting wedge is still an egotistical jerkface no matter how many times I boardwash it into being nice

Thoughts?

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #114 on:** July 27, 2013, 11:09:22 AM »

longer wedge please

ty4er · « **Reply #115 on:** July 27, 2013, 12:15:42 PM »

make the chassis thinner and make those wedges longer. you can use firestorm wedges, though they have rather annoying attachment points.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #116 on:** August 07, 2013, 05:26:27 PM »

Good afternoon.

The end of Cutting Wedge III is here, bring on Cutting Wedge IV

Armor is Steel 5. Those NPCs are fast. There are eight ants. Wii sales recently hit 100 million units.

I made the chassis as small as I possibly could. This has caused some headaches regarding the chassis height. Not only did I have to put the lower skirt hinge off-center, but for some odd reason, Titanium Half sheets refused to attach to the bottom

Is this realistic (not IRL)? If it's not, then I know why (the ants right by the extender), but that will make it underpowered by one ant.

The wedge is short because if the wedge was longer, it couldn't self-right. This is why I shortened the wedge on CW III.

Thoughts?

Naryar · « **Reply #117 on:** August 08, 2013, 01:42:26 AM »

Not DSL-S. Moving extenders cut through batteries.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #118 on:** August 10, 2013, 01:05:18 AM »

Good evening.

I updated CW IV.

Armor is Plastic 10. There are two unstacked and non-intersecting ants hiding behind the razors in between the battlepacks and the NPCs. I really want to learn C++ but I don't have the time. WOE IS ME!

What I was going for with this iteration of Cutting Wedge was to make it DSL Standard with the smallest possible chassis.

I think that the only thing preventing it from being DSL-S is the fact that the extenders slightly touch the batteries. If it's a problem, consider it fixed.

Thoughts?

And one more thing. This is ridiculously off-topic, but...

School gets back in session for me on September 4th. I will be entering the eighth grade. This means that I won't be posting as much starting then.
Any advice on trudging through the potentially murky swamp that is the eighth grade?

With the bot, use a metal hinge for the skirt in the middle that is a polycarbonate. On Eighth Grade, it's generally easier than Seventh since by now you might know your place in the community, unless you're new to the school.
