What wheels are those? They don't look familiar to me.

Reskinned Ants? I dunno, i think that's my closest guess.

Vanilla DSL 2.1 large ant wheels.

Looking great. Like a bigger version of ty4er's VS. I'm guessing HW, but the DSL Bars look a bit pointless. Maybe some top/bottom protection wouldbea better use of their weight. Any specs/internals at all?

npc, 4 ants, ti3, 799.7 also has ti 1/2 sheet bottom and 2 steel skirts for top armor. i originally had eteks and less weapon. thats why the drive setup is kinda stupid

I think you need some more weapons to be honest.

Naryar · « **Reply #886 on:** November 12, 2012, 08:19:38 PM »

also double discs = seriously doing it wrong

looks nice

If the DSL Bars were lost, and the Alu extenders swapped for CF (it's not as if they're going to be hit), that'll reclaim 84kg to use on more weaponry.

you guys do realize that if he's serious about weapon weight, he needs to free up 180kg right?

Yes, a VS like that needs about 320kg weapons nowadays.

basically "false popup" without the popup part and a reverse flipper thing....

Interesting. How does the weight distro change affect wedginess?

SKBT · « **Reply #892 on:** November 23, 2012, 03:09:21 PM »

win about 4/10 of wedge on wedge with the original. might have to play around with counterweights but it's still stupidly wedgey.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #893 on:** November 23, 2012, 03:37:53 PM »

Be sure to test it on the anticipated arena floor. I find that when setting up wedges like that it will vary in effectiveness depending on how much they cut into the floor itself. Sometimes the metal hinge wedges will dip into the floor and make the upper (skirt hinge?) wedges graze the floor instead. Making the setup useless.

In summary, be sure to test it on the floor just to be sure.

so why exactly do you need heavy armor ?

from the sounds of it a bunch of people are entering non damaging sns and the wide design is good at stopping sns.

you can build wider with lighter materials, just saying

dustpan with a roller on a servo. the roller works like a pickup brush on a vacuum cleaner and sucks robots into the claw and helps hold them in place.

Naryar · « **Reply #898 on:** November 24, 2012, 03:49:41 AM »

Interesting. Does it work well ?

NFX · « **Reply #899 on:** November 24, 2012, 05:46:20 AM »

Now that is an interesting idea. It'll be good to see whether it works or not.
