Scorpions Totally EEEEVIL Showcase

[Somebody]

I would recommend using a metal hinge, because it creates a much better wedge than a skirt hinge. With the weight used by the metal hinge, you should just put one long wedge in the center.

I have used a metal hinge.
And i'll put a 8cm titanium skirt in the middle if that's what you mean by the one long wedge.

[Somebody]

Ohhh I see how you did it now. Yes, put an 80cm on it.

[Badnik96]

Hm. I would get rid of those end 2 razors and delete that whole extender. Then get heavier armor (like Tite 3)

I would/ did do this:

But of course yours in't angled.

That does look very cool, was it in your showcase, i swear i didn't steal the idea

Anyway, i've decided to just keep the one front wedge and get rid of the outside razors/extender (mainly to avoid having to get too complex with the wedges)



Now, I have the urge to make another robot....

[Scorpion]

Double post for the win.
Just another old design i've made somewhat usefull, i dub the S.K.O.M



Plastic 5 armour.

[Doomkiller]

That looks sweet, but you might want to decrease the amount of weaps so you can get faster drive.

Send it to me for Raging DSL MWs nontheless :D

[Badnik96]

Speaking of which, I have a few things to send, Doom.

[Doomkiller]

Well get them in XD

[Naryar]

That drive isn't even fast enough for a LW popup... remove weapons, get lighter extender work and NPCs at the minimum.

Plus 8 razors on a BSG is too much. Generally you want 4, 6 maximum.

Yes it was.

[Scorpion]

I had to redesign the chasis to fit in the npc's but i got them in



I was able to upgrade to titanium 3 armour aswell which is a nice added bonus.

[Vertigo]

You need two more ants

[Scorpion]

You need two more ants

*facepalm*
I forgot bursts need more power.

[G.K.]

Lighten your extender work.

[Scorpion]

Lighten your extender work.

Hahaha sorry for the bump, i was going to reply here a while ago but forogt.
Anyway, whats the rule of thumb for extender work, some-one said in here before (Naryar I think) said aluminium for armour and titanium for weapons.

[madman3]

Facepalm
Other way round. Tita armor, aliminium/Plastic weapon extenders and flipper segments for the attachment to the burst.

[Scorpion]

Aluminum extenders to hold DSL Bars

Titanium extenders for weapons

Don't facepalm me when i'm going on what a respectable bot builder has already told me.
I'm confused now though, as that's two different oppinions and i can see benefits in both ways of doing things.

[Somebody]

Nope because the weapons need to stay on. Weapon extenders don't get hit as much, and are more important because if you have no weapons, you can't win.
