Shield's dumpster

[Shield]

First of all you are going to want a halfsheet or something covering the bottom. I also see no point in using mags with technos. I would personally just enlarge the chassis and put on some type of NPC with vlads or grannies. And finally, your weapon set ups seem pretty horrible.

>prototype

...What are you even trying to do? Both of those are just really messy.

Half crawler hybrid

[Clickbeetle]

To do a half crawler, you want to flip it around so the weapons cover the chassis and the wheels are out back on extenders.  Regular NPCs are the motor to use here for their 12000 HP.

...To be honest I'm not even sure if a half crawler would be good, but that's how I would build one.

[Naryar]

tbh halfcrawlers are pretty much on the ghey side of the spectrum but I told myself "hey a half crawler hybrid it'll definitely be unique and interesting, let's go with it" and I said ok.

also they are not messy, it's just that the motors are poorly set up.

and click about that... yeah the original half crawler that I did indeed had the chassis protected and extenders outside but if he loses ONE motor he's doomed because of the Mutations controlled movement rules.

But yea it definitely is a half-crawler.

let's be honest what are the chances that i'm ever going to win anyways

so if i'm not gonna win might as well be the one guy who did something different

hw side hammer/dustpan hybrid

never tested it in combat yet

i could try and cut it down to mw

but it looks like it'll go down to cruiser at most

[Naryar]

looks derpy tbh.

looks derpy tbh.

thank you

i like the concept but the execution is ...
odd

Use a heavy plow instead of all those dsl bars and put technos on. I would also drop the sledge hammers and use beater bars instead of alum extenders then to hold razors. I also think it would be a good idea to use a DSL bar or beater bars in the place of the flipper makers. What kind of armour do you have on it atm?

Steel 5 or steel 3

also i have no flippermakers on this bot

[Badnik96]

Etek seems like overkill imo.

woops, i was thinking the titanium extenders were flipper makers

[Mr. AS]

What burst motors are you using? Don't tell me you're using mag snappers...

servo motor

my showcase in a nutshell

soon to be dsl bars

After the recent update on the battlebox, it appears that multibots in a bb tourney have been made a reality

i was saving these two for whatever may come my way, and i just might enter the next battlebots with them (i like to plan ahead) if mass decides to go with "combined weight must not exceed 800" instead of each robot must be under 400

[Badnik96]

I think if you had Mantis as a horizontal spinner like it was at the beginning of your showcase your clusterbot as a whole would be much better.

I agree, the weapon synergy here is pretty bad - the VS is a weapon that needs a very specific position for a payoff, while the pusher/rammer just moves everything around, possibly messing up a hit for the VS. (Also those spike strips are really bugging me as a vs weapon)

wanted to pay homage to the swarm. shame there's not too much media of them

and yea, Mantis doesn't like to play nice

yes, thanks... The bots look ok. I like the wedge honestly.

probably not gonna stop anytime soon either. these things are bundles of fun

i've been meaning to use the techno brackets for quite some time. didn't know that they were actually pretty darn wedgy
