Really liked the Enforcer bot, despite how simple it's aesthetics are.

Well I could use some advice on one of my latest projects. It has to do with the middleweight below. It's current design is an invertible wedgebot that so far in testing has a very low ground clearance. However I still think there is something missing. If there are any ideas to add a weapon to the empty wedge area to this bot while still keeping it IRL, they would be greatly appreciated. Current armor is 3mm Steel and current working name is Chevy Metal Noise.

if you lower the chassis to minimum height and switch the wheels to hypno disk wheels you could make it a vertical spinner thing like "witch doctor" or "k2"

No there's four of them, the control board is back there too.

Piglet and ant blade? Just for at least some damage points?

Finally decided on a static Vladiator spike for the weapon. Now named Joust, this middleweight is now using 3mm Titanium armor and uses it's Vlad spike, wedge, and 4WD NPC drive train to slam other bots around the arena. This doesn't mean it hasn't lost. It has been screwed over by the likes of The Boxer Returns (Havok Explosion) and Lock-Nut.

Joust reminds me of one of my older bots, Sonic The Hedgehog.

It reminds me of one of Wham's old bots of the same name which was basically the same thing, it just had more spikes.

I wanted to put the spike on a burst motor so it could lift other robots, but there wasn't enough room.

MassimoV · « **Reply #190 on:** May 14, 2013, 09:26:11 PM »

Could you put it on a spin motor?

Pretty sure if you replaced the front NPCs with the other-direction facing ones and then moved the rest of the electronics elsewhere, you could fit a small JX or BSG/Magmotor in there.

This is one of my possible entries/ possible replacements for Death Warrant for BB7. This robot's name is Thunderhead. It is supposed to be a Terrorhurtz based bot with it's symmetrical design and it's weapon, a giant hammer. The only problem is that I can get the hammer going fast enough to cause any real damage. What can I do in order to remedy this problem? Current drive is a 4WD system using NPCs and armor is 5mm Steel.

MassimoV · « **Reply #194 on:** June 22, 2013, 11:18:44 PM »

That motor powering the weapon isn't allowed. Switch it with an NPC.

I was actually planning on removing that, it's barely strong enough to lift the hammer.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #196 on:** June 23, 2013, 12:19:06 AM »

Somehow get a geared beta in there?

Merrick · « **Reply #197 on:** June 23, 2013, 09:10:56 AM »

Surely Terrorhurtz style 'bots aren't IRL because the motor will spin 360 degrees straight through the rest of the robot as soon as it leaves the ground?

Scrapyard24c · « **Reply #198 on:** June 23, 2013, 11:30:11 AM »

Any idea of what Ressetti uses in his Terrorhurtz replica?

Which is why there are a couple, or some motors that can only turn 180 degrees.
