Not realistic as the razors go through the middle of the hinge.

Meh, may aswell post what would have been my RA2TC2 entry had vertigo not been annoying.

Had you read the rules :P

madman3 · « **Reply #422 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:22:43 PM »

Eh, you caan't go all the way through an extender and its possible connection points realistically. Looks fairly cool mind.

Scorpion · « **Reply #423 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:29:43 PM »

Most popups do though really, still, let's stop this deabate aswell, there have been countless discussions about this already it seems XD

And thanks BTW, first comment on the actual bot rather than the controversy I cause with my awesomenez ;P

You know angling it outward like that is going to result in lost of damage, because all the razors can't make contact at the same time.

Scorpion · « **Reply #425 on:** February 22, 2011, 03:37:50 PM »

123 you magnificent bastard I read your book!!
Seriusly though, didnt think of that just thought it looked coooler angled like that, still, a fixxx is obviously in order for that ;P

Well, here's my RA2TC2 Entry, it shall either fail gloriously, or pwn gloriously!!!

Weight is 398.5, armour plastic 3 and yeah, very fun and fast, can punt MW out of the arena, which is fun.
Well, I needed something mad to counter the wedgy flippers, and overkill is the way lol.

If the goal is to beat flippers you might want to think about finding a way to make that invertible...

Also, fast NPC's with Technos are better (at least in terms of speed).

Looks powerful though.

Not only in terms of speed, but of torque as well, of weight, and of wheel HP.

However, fast NPC's will be more fragile even when attached to the baseplate. If 200 damage somehow gets to your motors, then they will start to smoke and lose power, but the Etek has much more hitpoints.

Hell, hitpoints doesn't only count outside the chassis.

Hmmmm, I didn't know about that, but, yeah, it is invertible IIRC, although that may have been when I did have it with technos.
Anyway, i'll definately see what I can do to get technos on there, I don't want to lose weaponry though tbh.

Bots a bit generic, ive seen alot o them, but good design.

I don't have seen much original designs coming from you

Vertigo · « **Reply #432 on:** March 05, 2011, 10:19:27 AM »

Yeah, only real problem is lack of invertibility

Scorpion · « **Reply #433 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:30:55 PM »

Meh, wanted to make a LW to get me back in the mood for building:

4 ants (meh) and titanium 3 armour, normal NPC's.
I feel it can be tweaked better, but I just wanted to use this setup with the shell panel and all that jazz on a LW popup quickly ;P

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #434 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:49:10 PM »

Hmmmm... I am thinking downgrade the armour a tad and add hypno wheels instead. Grippier might give you a better edge at hitting opponents head-on and wedge them better. Just a guess... might be worth the testing.

MassimoV · « **Reply #435 on:** April 06, 2011, 09:10:31 PM »

Hey , that reminds me of my bot Helium, your's is way better though.

Done and done, weird thing is it's wedges seem to be better when it's not going at full speed.
I guess it must be a weight distribution issue, which still makes no sense, because I thought this setup would weigh down on the wedges and make them notably better, but they're just good, not brilliant, so i'm dissapoint.
Wedges, I just can't win with them XD

And thanks Massimo, although I must admit I don't recall seeing your bot.

Scorpion · « **Reply #437 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:06:08 PM »

Oh RA2, my mistress, once again I suckle at your dark teet...

Now this bot I like, titanium 5 armour, normal NPC also 3 ants in case you can't quite see, and yeah there's two hex's there.

NFX · « **Reply #439 on:** April 07, 2011, 03:11:12 PM »

So 12 Razors, then? I think NPCs and Technos might be a bit fast in this instance.
