So 12 Razors, then? I think NPCs and Technos might be a bit fast in this instance.
Hmmmmm, hypno's aren't large enough, I could use vlads as a downgrade though.
Don't know what to use the wight on though, the rule of 7 stops the rule of MOAR RAZORZ here.

Yeah...you could try making it properly invertible with the DSL Discs you have on the side. Add a couple more angled skirts on the top side attachment point.

That's a sweet idea! Oh, and:

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

That's alright, I haven't posted in a while, but I am still building.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA:


Downgrade the wheels a lot, tweak the setup, and we have 3 more razorz, an upgrade to plastic 10, and better bottom armour, aswell obviously as proper invertibility like NFX suggested  :approve:

Try something other than shell plates. They fall off and you fall over.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Well, I don't know what else to use that doesn't suck up too much weight, or raises the razorz up too high (or leaves them too low and hitting off the ground).
It does still manouvre fine with one shell panel surprisingly enough, but still, yeah, they do get knocked off as you said, which is irritating.

That looks so much like Ounce's MW VS. That I don't remember the name.

Use normal NPCs and lighter wheels.

Nice
I'd use hex plated to attach the weapons though

I would use a 20cm plastic extender to do it, but the problem it reduces the radius of the spinner, therefore reducing knockback.

If you used Hexplate or Poly Extender, you might want to use the end extender point on the hammers, rather than the side, just to get the extra kickage.

Obviously, either it's going to suck hard. I still think that Scorpion is cunning enough to guess that.

I've used two poly's atatched to each other, so it's saved about 6kgs and it keeps the weapon radius, infact, I think it's increased it slightly, so even lower to the floor.
Upgraded the armour to titanium 5, with the saved weight....can't think of another, better way to use it.

Trolololololol


It's stable....untill it hits something.
The back part of the P.A skirt helps it rebalance though without flailing around on it's spinner first thank god.

You might want to slightly angle each of the hex plates so that the razors can better hit bots on top of the disks.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

LW - Micro Wheels are fail. Replace them with Minis for a few more kg to use on that vulnerable weapon bar.

SHW - Looks awesome. I slightly agree with Urjak, but then the lower razors really wouldn't be doing anything.

Ah, fair enough, I didn't realise micro wheels are fails, they seemed quite good to me.
And alright, I'll tilt the razorz on the SHW.
