The near-placed one is slightly wedgier but it also makes it do frontflips more often.
I'd supply evidence if it weren't so hard to shoot a pic that's not one of them frontflipping on the other or frontflipping away or havock-bombing science HQ while doing mid-air stunts I'm pretty sure even real-life antweights can't pull off.
How can I prevent this from happening? Also,

I tried to do front-hinged flipping and ended up with a hammer-flipper hybrid.
The motor ain't clipping with the spike strips, but the battery is (really slightly like not even unfixable if it were IRL) and I'm not sure how to fix that.

Camemberta won the third prize at BB9.

Really the spikes clipping the battery is so slight you could probably cut out a slot for them IRL.

Also I doubt it turns very well but I can't see how you can fix it without making it ugly.

This totally needs its own post AND bump.



Thought about doing something with a ladybug-esque thing. I could turn it into a lobster but that's more for claw bots.

Redid the most of it, it fits now.


Does the placement of the control board matter? I could push it under the burst motor but if there's no point then I won't.

honestly, this is just a popup trying to pass of as "irl", and no, CB placement does not really matter. putting it in front will help the wedge just like ballast does, but chassis wedges are automatically unwedgy anyway.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Aye, that's what it is.
In past me's defense, he did attempt to give it a theme.

Tried to do a scoopbot, ended up remaking my LW Razer.

It's horrible (bad wedge, clipping, no damage) but I kind of like the way the piston in the back looks.


It's effective in combat.

I also redid some MCB wedges to put more pressure on them.

Icicle looks nice and simple. Could you find a way to eat up the last 4.8 kg at all?

Maybe take out the long battery, add two ants, and you might have enough left over to buff the armour?

The MCB wedges are kinda worthless. I'd stop using them.

it would look better if you got rid of the big single tooth and replace it with two smaller teeth.

Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.

I think I have finally answered the question we've all asked ourselves at least once.
"How do I create a sawbot with all of the downsides of a sawbot but none of the benefits?"
Behold.




Also I made a generic flamethrower (steel 10, maybe) and a generic LW HS with the usual balance issues.


And last and least, a useless drumbot I cloned off of MikeNCR just to give it a cool skin like I did last time with Little Mike (skin will be posted later).

(Name's WIP, steel 5mm)
Except I didn't even include the medium beater bars and instead went for the small ones.
I'll redo it later because I really like the design (partially because I didn't design it).

Not bad. Make it invertible.
I would if I could.

Also, sometimes the boxing gloves on Belt just decide to not deal damage anymore.
Does anyone know why this happens (or how to prevent this from happening)?

First Ech! Named after an embarrassing typo.

Also it has a cool pattern on its bottom surface and it's kinda not bad in combat sometimes.
