Is that an HS or a Juggler? I'm just wondering why the Light DS Teeth are pointing upwards like that.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #541 on:** August 07, 2011, 03:27:59 PM »

HS-Juggler hybrid. If you've ever made one of these you know that bots often go onto your discs.

Scorpion · « **Reply #542 on:** August 07, 2011, 04:27:29 PM »

Correct, it's a HS-juggler.
I think titanium 3 is ideal personally, plastic 3 is a tad too little IMO. Anyway, I can't think of much to do with the little amount of weight i'd save by downgrading the chassis armour...

Titanium 5, 2 NPC fasts, a castor for bottom protection, 4 ants, 2 perm 132s and 320KG of weaponry.

Enigma Juggler.

'Tis not an enigma juggler, nope. This is an angled juggler.

Me trying to be original. And failing at it.

In other words, this:

IDK, Enigma feels arrogant and thinks he has built a new robot type with the juggler he last showcased. Let me see if it is even worth calling a new robot type...

*looks at showcase*

Wait, this isn't a juggler at all. This is an angled FS/popup design. Unefficient, but original as far as I remember, cause Pwn's one is a juggler with vertical discs.

Yeah, that's just an angled spinner/juggler dude...

SKBT · « **Reply #552 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:30:36 PM »

Looks like something Marty would build or kinda like this

Still cool though...

How's the exposed chassis do? I'd drop a couple of teeth for a bit of protection but that's just me.

Urgh, I hate it when somebody beats me to it.

Anyway, the teeth pretty much cover it from the front, the back could be a problem though i guess if it doesn't self right fast enough after being flipped.
I might look into doing that.

Pwnator · « **Reply #554 on:** August 08, 2011, 05:55:51 AM »

How about flipping the positions of the beaters so the teeth can be moved inward? I don't think those shell disks are strong enough.

Scorpion · « **Reply #555 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:03:34 AM »

Thnx Pwn, consider it done.

Indeed, its like turbine, but probably better because it doesn't have wedge AGOD, and a better weapon setup, and doesn't seem to need stabilisers. I would go with some back protection on it, mainly because its a small chassis and could get killed really quickly if something happens to flank it (which with my bots always seems to happen -.-) Is that a caster I see on the bottom? :D Invertibility would also be helpful.

Its more Night Horror really :P

Scorpion · « **Reply #557 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:18:23 AM »

Yeah, that is a caster on the bottom.
I'll look at improving it, and post an update soon.

But MM, you say it'd be a good idea to make it invertible?
Isn't that kinda pointless, considering the wedge would really stop it from being effective when inverted?

martymidget · « **Reply #558 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:20:46 AM »

Personally, I wouldn't want to be a popup going underneath that when its upside down :P

Scorpion · « **Reply #559 on:** August 20, 2011, 04:51:38 PM »

Let's drop some funky beats in dis house:

First up is my go at a face spinner, coz as far as I can remember I haven't made one before

Titanium 3, the wedge is alright surprisingly, the bot isn't that good though, so blergh

And now, Delirious Chaos, my entry for Steel Warzone:

Also titanium 3, 6 stacked ants, 3 casters, fatboys because they're the best option for the required size, and, yeah, it's fun to watch.
