I like that bot. Looks very stable, and 100 kgs of hammer is a lot of weight to be swinging around for a MW VS. If you enter that in Clash Cubes, I'll be doomed if I face it.

Except... the chassis is not an exact cube. It's a little bit too tall. Might be close enough though.

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.

Use normal TWM3s they have 8000 HP.

I like the bot, Sage. Especially appreciate it's somewhat originality. Now just tweak it out to see what she can do...

Sage · « **Reply #123 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:32:02 PM »

YES.

Exchanged the drive motors for the normal motors (more HP), larger wheels, extender more protected. Better.

Huge thanks to Urjee for helping me get those wheels in the skirt.

I'm glad you didn't resort to BFE'ing like some people I know...

System32 · « **Reply #126 on:** December 25, 2009, 09:11:53 PM »

would lol hard if urjak used BFE.

hmmm... i spy a cube shaped chassis. :D

Edit: D'oh... i should have read deeper in the thread... it is a revision and clearly your CC3 entry. Looks good!

No, he just taught me the glitch. The bot itself is 100% built by me.

the weapon is aluminium and polycarb isnt it ? both wouldn't be the strongest but could handle it couldnt it ?

The weapon ain't realistic though.

Carbon fiber can't hold that weapon realisically like that, but this is the new DSL age, so who gives a **ck about the realistic rule.

I care about this actually... it tickles me off as well when i see a 70kg hammer on a poly extender.

Awesomeness. Can it self-right? :D

Sage · « **Reply #133 on:** December 26, 2009, 10:01:43 AM »

Most of the time it does. The only time it can't is if it gets flipped over and the weapon motor is pretty much stopped.

About the polyextender-hammer thing, theres just somethings that can't be made truly realistic. Like the perm motors. this bot basically has over 100 kgs on an axle that is just floating out in space.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #134 on:** December 26, 2009, 10:12:47 AM »

I always wonered should the pers not have an "arm" or soemthing to the axle? :P

still legel enough for CC3

Breakable-ness makes me skeptic.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #136 on:** December 29, 2009, 10:41:15 PM »

You should call that bot "Specter" or "Phantom" or "Unseen" or something ghost-related because it's almost all transparent. At a glance, all you see is the chassis, the wheels, the Perm, and the hammers floating out in space!

Sage · « **Reply #137 on:** January 15, 2010, 05:10:15 PM »

My failed attempt at a UHW. It was going great but then for some reason the weapon motors just glitched, so I stopped building. I had a ton more plans but I'll build something else. Dual Perms chained with one of those hexagon things.

Non drinve Eteks? OUCH.

Avoid chain motors when you are dealing with 1000+kg worth of weapons. Even if it doesn't glitch in lab it will havok in match.
