Scorpions Totally EEEEVIL Showcase

[Scorpion]

Hello everybody!

This is my first spinner ever (I usualy make flippers) and i tried to make it atleast mildly unique.

Any tips greatly apreciated.

[G.K.]

what is the armor and how many batteries are there?

[powerrave]

unrealistic. discs go trough wheels.

Armour is alluminium 3 (best i could get for the weight)
and there are 2 of the red ones with the very long name and an ant.

I didn't realise it would have intersected the wheels 'till i had finished the weapon.

Plus i didn't realise that was that much of a problem.

[powerrave]

in DSL rule is that bots should be realistic, won't blame you for not knowing.

also, 1 ant per spin moter and try lost a load of empty space to save a lot of weight.

[Stagfish]

Ditch the reds and add six more ants, one ant for every motor except tornado mer and above. Also have a blue control board

[Scorpion]

Oh thanks, I'll see if i can get away wwith smaller wheels then.

Also, i thought about reducing the size of the chasis, but i'm not sure how to go about that as it is only just wide enoug to fit the spin motor and the drive motors inside.

Thanks, and done.
Very helpful advice.

[Stagfish]

Use hypno wheels or vlads (If they dont intersect the weapon).

No, it's one ant per spin motor. 2 is better, but optional.

Scorpion, about the chassis, take a look at (Credit to 090901)


Yours needs to be a bit bigger, but you should get the idea.

Name after a Avenged Sevenfold song?
Also, G.K., give me some credit :P

[G.K.]

Whoops.

Unfortunately it intersects all wheels, my mistake.

2 blacks btw

No, one ant for each spin motor is fine.

[Scorpion]

right, i think this is a significant improvement, having taken onboard all your tips.





I could have chopped a bit more off the chasis but i think that the front wedge could be a great help in battles.

Extra info: Armour much stronger now at plastic 5 and 7 ant batteries on it now.

[Badnik96]

Much better. Ditch the small wedge and anchor and attatch a half sheet to the baseplate.

[freeziez]

Looks a whole lot better.

A wedge will not be very useful for a bot like this, because the spinners will lift up the bot before the opponent gets to the chassis. In general, you can use metal hinges for wedges, as they make good wedges.

About the spinners:
1. Make sure all of the teeth would be turned the correct way for spinning to hit the other robot.

however...

2. If you hit F12, you can see the collision mesh of the hypno teeth, and see that they are just a small box, so it does not matter what direction you put them

however...

3. You want to make sure that the spinners are spinning the correct direction to multiply the force of the motors, instead of the two cancelling each other out

and...

4. You should change to other weapons to protect the motor and disc better, and push bots away better (a tiny box is not too good at that)

in conclusion...

Lookin good so far

I remember a member named Scorpio... no relation I take it?

The wedge was put in to help against opponents that have rammed into me through the spinning disks.
The first version was beaten by industrial coal miner due to this.
Then again the reason he was unable to get underneath me this time may be because the new chasis allows me to get away easily from opponents unlike the old one which left me easily stuck.

Also could you explain what you mean by other weapons, do you mean replace the hypno teeth?

Nope, i only discovered this game a few weeks back.
