Um. Realized I should do something for CC3, so I just built this thing. Alum1. 4 Ants.

I wanna improve it, any ideas?

Isn't it a little bit unstable, especially fighting in the CC arena.

Just use a 20X120 DSL Bar, it'll last longer than that polycarbonate skirt and extenders, and don't use mini wheels, go for hypnos.

looks like a miniature mammoth

stability looks ok for now but as soon as either of those sheets go, its making a trip straight oota

also I only see 2 ants ? not 4 ?

Just noticed that most of the bots entering so far are VSs.....FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

There either above each other or he stacked them.

Above each other.

The DSL bar was too heavy... and same with the hypno wheels. If you can come up with the 16 KGs needed for hypnos, please share.

Very stable, but can't self right if it loses momentum.

Just put the DSL Bar on, but use 30 kg hammers instead of DSL hammers.

you could drop an ant to free up a bit of weight

dont forget you only need to power the robot for 2 mins

you could also, reduce or remove the polycarbonate extender holding the half sheets and change the spinning arm to just a DSL bar (shorter then your current set up) with the 2 hammers

which may free up enough for hypnos

Nice looking bot.
One thing- does the bar go through the back support? I don't think it does but I want to be sure.

Sage · « **Reply #110 on:** December 19, 2009, 10:55:27 AM »

Just a little bit, but barely. IRL I could either cut a slot or bend the bar.

Aluminium armor ? Ewww

Sage · « **Reply #112 on:** December 19, 2009, 11:49:30 AM »

Yea, if the chassis is hit it's basically done for. Good thing it's hard to hit.

What would you recommend Nary?

Naryar · « **Reply #113 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:07:05 PM »

Plastic 1 or titanium 1 (Ti 1 is better)... Aluminium is just less efficient as a chassis armor material than Titanium or Plastic.

Reier · « **Reply #114 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:08:10 PM »

Plastic 1...? Do you mean Plastic 3?

Sage · « **Reply #115 on:** December 19, 2009, 12:08:16 PM »

I would love to use Ti1, but I have no weight.

Sage · « **Reply #116 on:** December 22, 2009, 11:47:06 PM »

Updated a little, much better now, even if it was small updates.

I has some battle shots but am much too lazy to post them right now. 398.6. Plastic 1 :D

JoeBlo · « **Reply #117 on:** December 22, 2009, 11:57:22 PM »

thats a lot of polycarb, maybe it should be renamed to Fantastic Plastic :P (joking)

looks good, only thing I can think of is Caster Armour realistic ? (I dont know, Naryar or someone please enlighten me)

Naryar · « **Reply #118 on:** December 23, 2009, 12:15:38 AM »

It's as realistic as putting halfsheets on the bottom of your bot.

Still i can just see it getting shredded. Does it fights well ?

Sage · « **Reply #119 on:** December 23, 2009, 03:35:26 PM »

Well, once is loses a hammer its doomed, but if it doesn't it owns. Rarely do the extenders get knocked off, usually the drive motors do though. Im gonna try something different with the drive motors.
