Electrichammer can make them work. Shame that I can't work out what I do wrong in the bindings.

If you don't mind cheating a little bit, you can use the Beta Geared, then change it from SpinMotor to ServoMotor in the bot file so it doesn't havok half the time.

Personally, I liked DW more but you could use a whatever those double Magmotors are called.

After days of frustration, I've scrapped Thunderhead. Working on a MOE based robot now. Any suggestions design wise? (stuff I should avoid)

As you may know, Voltergeist is the only one my original robots to be returning for BB7. Here is the replacement for Death Warrant, the M.O.E. based Texas Tornado. It's drive system is four NPC's and allows for a balanced control and the MOE motor allows Texas Tornado to chew up other robots like a F5 twister in a trailer park. The weaknesses of Texas Tornado though are it's exposed wheels and it doesn't like dustpans.

No Death Warrent :,(
If you really want to go with this bot, you should make the chassis thinner. WAY too much empty space.

What Hello said, Too much empty space.

Beaters are too long, looks weird, But that's just me.

EDIT: 500th post, Imma heavy now :3

You are pretty much doomed against any VS and I have a feeling there is gonna be a ton of them. Really the only think you can do is shave down the chassis and then throw some Titanium sheets over it (which would cover up the paint job sadly).

come on now, are you seriously giving a damn about chassis space in IRL? #doinitwrong

Even if it's supposed to be IRL, it still doesn't need such a large chassis. Even M.O.E wasn't as large. Just because it's IRL doesn't mean it can't be efficient.

Doesn't matter.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you're blurring the aesthetical building of IRL with the efficient rules of standard DSL, you're seriously doing it wrong.

The chassis is fine.

helloface · « **Reply #212 on:** July 24, 2013, 04:41:48 PM »

Just because it's IRL, doesn't mean it has to be bad and/or inefficient.

But it also doesn't have to be all that good or efficient.

That MOE motor he's using is pretty long too, and I'd think it'd look strange if he shortened the chassis. The autistic collision of the NPC's might not allow him to narrow it either.

Still, (at Scrapyard now), you have plenty of weight left over. You could probably do some sort of wheel guard with that.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #214 on:** July 24, 2013, 10:58:51 PM »

the only thing i would do really is make the chassis higher to hide that belt, and add some typhoon spikes or something to fill the empty weight. looks good tho

Hydro · « **Reply #215 on:** July 24, 2013, 11:03:21 PM »

That looks pretty. I concur with AS though.

helloface · « **Reply #216 on:** July 24, 2013, 11:12:00 PM »

Really? I think the belt looks cool. You should add aesthetics like AS said and/or add wheel guards.

Hydro · « **Reply #217 on:** July 24, 2013, 11:13:03 PM »

Waaargh, forgot to specify. I was referring to the extra weight.

Scrapyard24c · « **Reply #218 on:** October 04, 2013, 01:35:10 AM »

I've been thinking about Voltergeist for a bit now and how it appears it was thrown together from some rusty metal. Well I decided to update it's paint scheme and make it look like a proper fighting machine. It's flame job was inspired by Grave Digger except the colors are reversed in this case.

The successor to Enforcer has just been rolled out of the RA2 Dispatch Center, meet Enforcer's Revenge.

Enforcer's Revenge is meant to be a crossover of the original Enforcer and some of today's modern flippers such as Sub-Zero and Bounty Hunter. I was originally going for a design similar to Live Free or Die but due to game restrictions that fell through. It has a strong custom built flipper powered by a Judge burst motor, is surrounded by two 40 angled steel skirts, and utilizes the same drive system as Enforcer. It can readily self-right and it's easy to control and has 3mm Titanium armor. It's weaknesses are the exposed wheels and and the more than obvious high ground clearance on the sides and rear.
