Wanted to make a trov chassis VS punter:

I like how the sides are paper-thin instead of the rear plate, as is the case of most trov chassis designs. But is the bot effective in battle?

Also are the NPCs regular or fast?

Never thought of doing a VS setup like that, that's pretty cool.

If you've got reg NPCs you might be able to get away with Mako wedges if it happens to struggle without since they seem to work pretty well on slower bots.

It's nice, and you can tell, because it already has more comments than whenever I built one.

How punty is it with 132s rather than dual perms? I mean I know it's impossible to upgrade and keep it a HW but just wondering.

Well now that my laptop is fixed, the second coming of GTMs Christ figure can continue.

Firstly, oh hai Craaig:

Plastic 3 armour, surprisingly stable and very powerful on contact. Shame I couldn't get away with longer weapon bars though.

And secondly, Ive now been able to finish this, an UHW SS, because why not, Blendo 2016:

Massive disk and only a dual perm to power it, believe it or not it spins up (albeit slowly) and gets faster quickly when the ridiculous amount of sh** on the disk ends up breaking off.

madman3 · « **Reply #625 on:** January 07, 2016, 06:52:26 AM »

that layout at the side is going to make fighting sns literally impossible, but the VS is otherwise pretty cool. Sledge 30s?

uhw looks pretty gangster but you don't need that plough inside lol. also dunno if the flamethrowers will actually hit anything

cephalopod · « **Reply #626 on:** January 07, 2016, 07:55:03 AM »

Yeah VS looks cool but SNS will be a problem, as will weapon durability. How low do the bars run to the ground?

Scorpion · « **Reply #627 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:45:22 PM »

Oh SnS will no doubt wreck the VS its a bad enough match up for VS in general, I'm just pleased its stable really, and the bars are this low to the ground:

Just finished off this trilogy of trov-chassis VSs with a single dual permer:

Naryar · « **Reply #628 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:48:33 PM »

it looks badass, despite the fact that you'll lose stability more easily with smaller weapons.

madman3 · « **Reply #629 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:24:23 PM »

looks pretty sick tbh, good stuff man

Oh hai DSL 2.2! Lets get things started with an irl bot, Elipses:

798.5, Aluminium 1, not that it matters with all the outer steel armour (underneath as well) and the meagre amount of weaponry it has. I made a more competitive version as well just for kicks, but it was pretty pointless haha.

Naryar · « **Reply #631 on:** March 05, 2016, 04:48:25 AM »

worried about exposed motor... although it should have much more hp than in dsl 2.1. I'm not sure how much it has ?

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #632 on:** March 05, 2016, 09:32:02 AM »

just checked the text files, it has 2320 HP, so while it's better than the 400 it had in DSL 2.1, it's still not exceptional

Scorpion · « **Reply #633 on:** March 06, 2016, 10:52:28 AM »

I know about the motor, its stylistically designed to be that way. Another version use a 150cm disk instead of a bar for more weaponry and motor protection, but it just looks crap.

Scorpion · « **Reply #634 on:** March 14, 2016, 02:12:45 PM »

Messing around with drums:

799.8kg, Titanium 3, motor guard also allows it excellent wedge ripping capabilities. Still messing around with other versions of this, this one has nice wedges though. Sadly that is as close as I can get the snowplow with it still protecting the bottom half of the weapon motor, but the 60 Matilda teeth reach through enough.

Scorpion · « **Reply #635 on:** March 18, 2016, 07:44:51 AM »

So I've always wanted to use the linear actuators for a weapon system:

HW, Titanium 3, the idea behind it is that it can wram an opponent, then extend its weaponry to allow it to hold/damage the other bot further.

P.S spike strips are sexier than razors...

Naryar · « **Reply #636 on:** March 18, 2016, 08:08:43 AM »

wait, how does it extend it's weaponry ? is the whole weapon on a single linear actuator ?

intredasting anyways

If you look at the top and bottom you can see the weaponry moves behind the plow.
