Sometimes it can but most of the time it needs a wall. The disks are too small and spin too fast to get enough bite to kick it back up.

Same with Father of Flaze.

That looks so cool though.

Plow extender work can be better IMO. Also would it be better with only 1 disk on each perm and heavy DS teeth ?

Looks pretty nice. Mechavore discs aren't great, IIRC, I'd try and protect the extenders you have on the weapon arms instead of the perms.

flip those plows over so it can trap better.

the mechavore discs aren't doing much here.

Make it a classic hammer/pinner hybrid rather than bothering with HS.

BRAVO for doing a UHW hammer.


I thought about it... but when it came right down to it, I didn't have the guts to try building one.  It's a risky move.


Also, what everyone else said about the spinners.  I would put another two plows above the lower set in order to protect the Betas and trap bots.

Nice.  I have a bad feeling it won't drive straight in reverse though.

Looks quite good. Regular NPC's seem to be a bit slower than I imagined on rammers, though. How's it for invertibility?

Silly Pwn. Thanks to the shape of the BSG's, it's unlikely that he'll get to the chassis. Besides, my teeth clamp from the sides, so unless he deliberately goes for the side due to AI'ing, he'll walk right into my trap, and his chassis will be all mine.

Sorry to burst your bubble and all, but skirt hinge rammers are not that special. Heck, you didn't even design them (I think)

FOTEPX if you don't have anything constructive to add, then do not post. kthx.

I have the same feeling as click anyways. But why the crossed rammer design ?
