Scorpions Totally EEEEVIL Showcase

[Scorpion]

Yeah, don't worry G.K, my entry's almost finished, and so is my CC4 entry actually 
And I may remake this without the flails, then it'd be like a MW version of another bot I already made, which would be neat.

and so is my CC4 entry actually

wooo 

[Scorpion]

and so is my CC4 entry actually

wooo 

I'm AIing that right now actually 

[Scorpion]

I have a fair amount of failed experiments (i'll probably showcase them at some point for the lulz because some of them are rather...different) and I thought this was one:

I built it a little while ago as a kind of bridge to the new sdtyle of building i'm trying to do.
The point of it was to be very strong (thanks to the fullbody drum chassis protection and the crawler part getting rid of the weak wheels) and to roll up wedges with the downward spinning drum.
Instead though, it turns out it's somewhat capable as a SnS.

Oh, and the problem with it that also stopped it from fulfilling it's original purpose?
It can't move forward or back 

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Add a tail so it can move, looks like my unnamed bot.

[Scorpion]

I had a feeling a tail would make it move, but wouldn't that get in the way of the drum?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

I meant like this:

Tail, fits through the gap.

[Scorpion]

I meant like this:

Tail, fits through the gap.

I know, but doesn't that tail flip over to face the direction the bot's moving?

[Squirrel_Monkey]

No, it is the opposite side as it pushes the bot along as the drive turns.

[Scorpion]

Excellent, i'll give that a try then.

[Urjak]

Or could you ditch the tail and AI with a Melty Brain AI? Interesting idea...

[Scorpion]

Yep, tried with the tail and it fights far better previously as a SnS style bot.

[Scorpion]

DP: I is speedy, just made the setup more agressive

Turns out, it still LOVES wedges, just shreds their tops off 
Doesn't seem to fair too bad against other bot types either, but doesn't like VS or non flail SS if they chuck it round too much.

[freeziez]

Creative.

[Scorpion]

Thanks, it might apear in a tourney at some point aswell, because it can actually fight aswell 

[powerrave]

that thing looks like a cookie jar i do not want to touch.. i already have enough trouble with gears.

[Scorpion]

^Thanks I guess, although I kinda wish i'd called it cookie jar now, but then again there aren't any songs I know of called cookie jar.

Anyway, with my BTTB3 entry finished (I'll send it over today G.K, don't worry), I thought I could play a little game with you all...




Well, that's everything that didn't fail that I made for CC4, so yep, that means my actual entry is in this showcase now, a free prize for the first person to guess which one it is 
And I'd still very much apreciate constructive critisicm, ESPECIALLY if it's about my actual entry 

Oh, and no telling JB 

[MikeNCR]

I'd guess it's the dual VS. Might do well if it can get back on its wheels quickly after a flip and doesn't draw any nasty HS's

[Scorpion]

I'd guess it's the dual VS. Might do well if it can get back on its wheels quickly after a flip and doesn't draw any nasty HS's

I aint gonna say yet atleast which one it is 
But actually, it's somewhat invertible because of the rear stabiliser/armour.
And that bot like HS's if Nar AI is anything to go by.
Sheck spinners that it seems to really not like.

[Naryar]

The dual VS looks like the best, as well as the SnS.
