Neither.
If my bot is slightly efficient then I think that's a good thing.
If it looks kinda like it could maybe apply to IRL rules, then that's a good thing.
Would you see some of my 'bots as more suitable for IRL or efficient combat?



Camemberta won the third prize at BB9.
Also apparently she was real lucky.

Rammers. I like rammers, Tornado's my favorite rammer. I also liked the Crazy Taxi rammer from the Live Designs pack (Groovy Taxi as pointed out below), so I decided to make it into an underweaponed non-invertible as-of-yet unskinned lightweight.
It's fun to play with, and that's pretty much its only redeeming factor.
Mundane Taxi 1 was far worse, so all it gets is this mention.

Thoughts?

Steel sucks. 2mm steel is hax and should not exist.
Get tite or plastic and more weapons cause right now it's rather... mundane.
Also it's overpowered and the beater bar in the middle will not do anything and should be removed asap.
oh and make the chassis as airtight as you can to squeeze out the extra kgs.

Whoops that was meant to be 3mm steel.
I'll get the titanium and the more weapons, and will promptly remove that beater bar.

1. Not always, there's one variation of steel armor that is pretty average, but steel is a little too strong for a lightweight. You don't really need all of the strength Steel has to offer. And if you really do, Tite1 or Tite3 should supply you enough.
2. The weapon setup was the point of the bot, it's supposed to look like Groovy Taxi (middleweight gottagofast ramming type bot)
3. I'm assuming this is IRL, so the chassis counts as an aesthetic part of the bot. And it's not bad in the space department.

Other than that, try to make it invertible/self righting, and do remove that rather useless beater bar. I get the point of it but those irons won't fall off for a while especially on a lightweight so yeah.

It's an IRL bot, its supposed to look COOL, not most effective thing.

Yay, people are remaking my bots now!

Looks pretty cool for a LW Groovy Taxi.

I just realised the chassis don't match up.
Mine has an indent while yours has a proper taxi bumper. I HAD ONE JOB.
Oh well. I'll remake it then skin it, I suppose.
By the way all of your bots are just so unique, simple and characteristic! Thought you should know.

Dexterhunter made a sit n spin bot called Brutus. I don't really like full body spinners, so I decided to make a far worse one. I could have easily down-graded the Iron/Metal/Obsidian/Worst 3 armor a bit to save weight for decent weapons. However the weapon design ended up being too much like the original so I'd prefer to post this slightly-more-original design. The post containing the other bot would've just been "here's a smaller version of another, better bot".

tiny weapon on the back is practically useless.

iron 3 is also not an armor
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.

you could get rid of/replace the small beater and replace the iron with something (another beater maybe?) and you could do with some alu extenders or something reaching across to the bar to act as supports

almost :P
try and have the extenders reach towards the bar from the corners of the chassis(ish) and have the weapons in a u shape around the flipper segment

Couldn't do double extenders and had to remove two front-dsteeth due to weight.
Oh well. How's this look?
