:D I thought that design might catch on...

What armor did you use on it? I want to fit 4 orange batts in mine to!

Do you think it's the placement of the wheels that makes it spin faster? I'm trying to figure out what makes falcon punch spin so fast with less batteries...

it was MY design... i use 3mm plastic. But guess what! it only has 3 orange batts... the very first one had 4, which is what i remembered. but when i rebuilt i musta only put three in...

a TS with 1mm aluminum. 4 (fast) motors. weapon on dual perm. 5 red batteries and one small orange one. extenders are a roll cage and also hold other bots in place.

name is Dune Buggy

this is the old version. i wanted to make the chassis smaller, and i got a bit carried away.

What is it called?

Reier · « **Reply #23 on:** October 18, 2008, 09:30:10 AM »

Wow, that's the most original design I've seen in quite a while. That's a pretty tiny chassis fo such a big bot. I like the design. It's sort of like NWB's cousin. =P

EDIT: i moved the picture of the old version to the top. Look how much it changed.

You got to love axle wedges. :D

Naryar · « **Reply #26 on:** October 18, 2008, 11:18:04 AM »

@Sage: ... OMFG ! Although these extenders won't last long.

@Reier: TINY with a dual perm ??

Reier · « **Reply #27 on:** October 18, 2008, 11:32:15 AM »

Sorry, I meant the Chassis on the first one.

Sage · « **Reply #28 on:** October 18, 2008, 11:49:18 AM »

yes the chassis is tiny. took me FOREVER to get the right width so i could fit the dual perm and drive motors in the back. that was the 5th setup i tried to get those drive motors on. 3 of em were variations using a skirt hinge, and when i finally got one that worked, it would AXLE GLITCH OF DEATH. (for those who don't know what AGOD is, it's when a motor glitches its wheel or extender off the main axle, and it stays like that, even if you restart the game.)

anyways, it was hard. and i claim it a TS (top spinner). we will use this for bots like neglected waterbug, hazardous contraption, etc.

No, they are called Jugglers.

Nice bot, Sage. If possible i'd add to the weaponry a bit. Cool design.
How does it fair against the classic bullies?
And 'TS' seems appropriate too.

V1 > V2.

Don't use pointless weight with a Dual Perm.

Ugh. For the last time, they are called Jugglers. How about I put up a search?:

Quote from: Naryar;7563

I agree
so Juggler: Neglected Waterbug (he's the only juggler i think)
Any other ideas?

Quote from: Scrap Daddy;7229

Aww.....Exactly what mine looks like but mine is pushed to the weight limit. I was going to post him night too......Well not bad. i guess it would be considered a juggler because of the way it preforms.

Even Starcore used it. But Oh, We'll let you change the name of a bt type, let's also rename Pop-up's into Weaponry flippers! It's been used many a time, it's official. OK?

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #33 on:** October 18, 2008, 05:38:36 PM »

Dude, don't get your panties in a bunch. Just because Scrap and Naryar said it dosen't make it official.

Personally, I prefer TS too. It's much easier to type, and more accurate of a description.

Somebody · « **Reply #34 on:** October 18, 2008, 05:44:07 PM »

True. To be an actual juggler, it SHOULD grow hands, rip the bot into 3 pieces, and juggle it.

Sage · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2008, 06:17:22 PM »

it fits too. TS, FS, HS, VS, SnS.

anything that spins should be called a _S

Madiaba · « **Reply #36 on:** October 18, 2008, 06:24:06 PM »

S-32, I've known about the term 'juggler' long before you were ever around (as though it matters). I just wrote an AI.py for this kind of bot. And BTW, I've worked with SC quite a bit, you know. We also talk on the phone, I'm sure you know. In fact we just talked (IM-ed) today; but I'm sure you know that too.
Something else you might already know: SC's 'juggler' describes a bot with 2 discs on top of the bot that might tend to juggle opponents back and forth between them. Sage's bot has a single spinning disc, so it cannot do this.
I was merely telling Sage that I think that Top Spinner seems like an accurate label for his bot; which it is. Next time I'll ask for your consent, before I give my opinion... You can proof-read it yourself for accuracy....... if you're still around...

System32 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 19, 2008, 05:51:18 AM »

Whoops, sorry.

Soo, one spinner, TS, more than one, Juggler?

That seems fair.

I'm pretty sure most bots will fall of the new version.

Sage · « **Reply #38 on:** November 22, 2008, 07:23:21 PM »

yea. possible wild robots entry.

Naryar · « **Reply #39 on:** November 22, 2008, 08:00:59 PM »

Yeah, flamethrowers pwn. I wanted to enter one in GUMBA.

But what is the secondary weapon? Is that a hammer?
