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

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

they are knocked off in this picture, but its 2 120cm skirts on top that serve two purposes.

they srimech, and they trap the other bot in the flames.

i KOed with the 2 little bar thingys i have in front for a little damage. the point is to lower the health and have the partner come in for the kill.

It looks nice. I will definitely try the flamethrower overload bot. How many d'you have? 4? 6?

But the problem is that if you want to enter that in the team battle, you're going to enter that into the main tournament too... and here you will have no partner.

EDIT: there is also a problem of randomness in the tourney. That bot will work well only if it and it's partner attack the same bot. And that isn't guaranteed at all.

I think that that would be a good match for Haunt, because its weapon is always on the opponent, while Haunt bounces around the arena sometimes. And it also has protection incase Haunt goes flying the wrong way a couple of times.

if i dont die, then i WILL win by points in a one-on-one.

this bot is FAST (4 npc fasts with hypno wheels) and has aluminum 10 armor. there are 6 flamethrowers and 2 little drum bar things in the front in case i'm going solo.

Grim Reaper looks good, but I have a feeling that something will get around the back of Lion King because of the outward spinning blades

Wow, good looking bots, and I like your re-skins.

Naryar · « **Reply #47 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:07:17 PM »

I have doubts about Grim Reaper's wedge.

SnS on tabletop = WTF ??

Somebody · « **Reply #48 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:23:37 PM »

And I thought that each one had to have the same name?

I don't see why it should matter too much, although it might cause confusion. :?

Naryar might be right about the TT version. I don't know how could SnSs do on Table Top matches. :neutral:

My idea was that everyone is gonna have fast, pushy bots. So instead, im gonna use a SnS to dodge them and have them throw themselves over the edge. the sns isn't to hit the other bot, its to avoid them.

Ahhhh... Did not see it that way. It might not too that bad after all.

Sage · « **Reply #52 on:** February 16, 2009, 04:13:04 PM »

wild robots bot. i didnt use the flame thrower one cause it had a hard time finishing off the other bot.

this one is aight except for the fact its no invertible. pretty well built IMO. 6 ant batts.

Naryar · « **Reply #53 on:** February 16, 2009, 10:37:27 PM »

Pretty good, although 6 ants on a HW isn't a lot of total power - you're going to get reaaally slow after 2 minutes. Plus it looks great.

Did you used axle loading on the rear set of wheels ?

I just built a sick saw bot but it crashed while i was wiring so it will be a while before i built i again. Thought i would let you know.

Urjak · « **Reply #55 on:** April 16, 2009, 06:46:55 PM »

Sweet... I love Sawbots! :)

Naryar · « **Reply #56 on:** April 17, 2009, 06:50:18 AM »

Sawbots own when correctly designed - that is a good wedge, fast, a good weapon choice (e.g. a sawblade and a magmotor or a Backlash disc and a double magmotor) and a well armored weapon (unless the weapon is sufficiently tough (see Purple Pest)-

I hate it when that happens, now days I click either Test arena or Back every so often so it saves the bot

Yeah, I started doing that after I lost a SHW I was building....

Sage · « **Reply #59 on:** April 17, 2009, 04:51:40 PM »

:/

10 batts. 5mm ti. those weps in front are deadly and can KO without the blades.

could have made it much better but was lazy. Will rebuild with 4 blades and less armor.
