Yes.
Yes it is.

Continuing the random wedgeless spinner trend:

Titanium 3
4 ants (herpa derp)
Yes those are 60kgs
Very stable

Nice exposed extenders there. :P

The 400 HP motors are more exposed then the extenders, so he will probably lose those first unless it's on NAR AI.

If you could somehow centralize it so that the motors are inwards (as well as the extenders) and the hammers are outward providing side clouds of protection... it would be better.

Naryar · « **Reply #465 on:** May 29, 2011, 07:21:46 AM »

Yeah, attach both of these motors to a single central alu extender. Not only you'll save weight but your motors will be more protected.

Or you can just use perms.

Scorpion · « **Reply #466 on:** May 29, 2011, 11:12:56 AM »

I'll try fixxing the setup in abit then.
I originally had dual perms on there, but it turned out to be too weak defensively, so I switched to the 6 mags, if that's what you meant?

Sometimes, I just like to try and pretend i'm Urjak:

Titamiun 1 armour
One wheel copal drive
Problem?

Yeah, you spelled titanium wrong. :P

It looks good...havoky at all?

NFX · « **Reply #469 on:** May 31, 2011, 05:55:53 AM »

Weak poly extenders. =] Just the single razor attached straight to the disc would be fine, and provide better coverage.

It looks like it would be a MASSIVE havok timebomb, though.

Scorpion · « **Reply #470 on:** May 31, 2011, 06:24:53 AM »

@MM Shhhhhhhh ;P

@NFX, I put the razorz on the poly, to provide better vertical coverage, I don't see them being as useful that high up, especially at knocking away wedges. DOA2 couldn't knock the poly off atleast ;P

About the havoky-ness, so far as I can see, no havoking on its own, however against DOA, it may have havoked a bit, but only when DOA got right underneath it (although, not by much, i've seen LW VSs act like that just from the force from DOA's weapon).

Lucky! In my game that sort of chassis would never fly, especially with copal drive.

Scorpion · « **Reply #472 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:13:41 PM »

@ Urjak I guess so, i'll have to capitalize on that by making more mini bots in the future

First, i'm gonna post this, since it didn't do too bad (by my standards) in RA2TC3, and it's my first trov glitch bot:

NPC fasts
Titanium 3

And here's a HW popup I just botched together:

Titanium 3 again, and 4 NPC fasts
24 razorz in total.

Ideally you want 3 ants per BSG, or for spot on weight effeciency, a battlepack per BSG, as they take up the equivalent of 2.5 ants of amps.

Meh, i don't like battlepacks, too bulky ;P
But no, I get what you're saying, but it can get by on 12 ants (it's 2-3 ants for a bsg after all ;P) and I can't see what I could sacrifice to get an extra ant in there, nevermind a battlepack conversion!

madman3 · « **Reply #477 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:30:20 PM »

Less weapons, you need a max of 16 if you're using 4 BSGs, otherwise that's just wasting weight.
You could also fix up your awful armor setup you've got :P

EDIT: You could also possibly make it a normal popup (hey, it works for my bots; really, wedges are too random and a standard popup can almost always inflict for more damage without wasting weight on weapons or motors.

I dunno, maybe, I wanted 24, whole point of the bot really...
and i need something to fill that huge chasm in the middle! ;P

NFX · « **Reply #479 on:** June 01, 2011, 05:36:24 PM »

On the popup, I'd suggest narrowing the front wedge, getting rid of the Skirt Hinge extenders, and just using the three normal AP's. You can still have the angled panels, but with a single straight skirt in the middle, with hopefully enough weight left over for another ant.
