That's cool.

If only it was a better fighter though. But I guess sometimes you just have to waste weight for the rule of cool.

Very cool.

Not sure if you need 2 hex plates though. I guess if it looks cooler with them then it's fine.

The 2nd hexplate is there to act as a spacer to center the beater bars.

Also if I remove the wheel guards and stuff that makes it look cool, and add 4 more beater bars it's actually a pretty competitive regular DSL bot.

Front hinge judge burst flipper...

I named it Splat

*sees 3 metal hinges*

Are you gonna enter this in b4ttlebots ?

Metal Hinge Wedges = Poor show.

Looks pretty good, though. Don't know about the Cutting Teeth on the back, though, but it looks like it needs something there.

The metal hinges were added as an attempt to cover up my lack of DSL bar to chassis blending and to make it look cleaner.

The teeth on the top are there to trap the other robot like this

I did not enter this in BB4, I entered my Complete Control style clamp bot.

I see. I'm guessing they would still work if they were facing backwards, it might look a bit cooler. I'm guessing you could try a Skirt Hinge with the Small Wedges on, rather than three Metal Hinge ones, or rather you could try a slightly wider front end of the chassis.

In response to Urjaks HS

Looks pretty nice.

Great work there. Perhaps the rear bar could extend all the way across after the wheels.

nice one :) love that scoop that will never do anything :D

Maybe add an extender to represent the piston.

NFX · « **Reply #654 on:** November 27, 2011, 10:57:00 AM »

Looking excellent. Nice work. =)

Looks great!

Beautiful.

*+1 imaginary rep*

They both look great. What does the one with the scoop do?

Same bot...

Wow. I can't believe I didn't put that together.
