I like it.

Cool. CC4? It also has a good wedge. Reminds me of Ice Drop.

BW's:

Left, unfinished. Must add CB and movement bar. Wheels are there to confide with MM rules :P
Right, I felt like making a BW SnS but only on wheel D:

As in, I wanted to make one with RAZORS and I'm annoyed because it only has 1 wheel.

This reminds me quite a bit of BBEANS6 competitor Primal Instincts X.

New Bot:

Steel 1 Armour
BTW, the weapon just scrapes the CB

NFX · « **Reply #550 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:18:54 PM »

Looks pretty nice. How is it in terms of balance and speed?

G.K. · « **Reply #551 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:20:03 PM »

For some reason I don't like it.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #552 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:20:25 PM »

It doesn't flip over at the start of matches but does tip a bit. Speed is decent enough for this bot type.

Two discs seems like a waste when better weapons could be put on.

G.K. · « **Reply #554 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:29:53 PM »

I think that may be why I dislike it.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #555 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:31:37 PM »

What better weapons are that small?

MassimoV · « **Reply #556 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:35:27 PM »

It seems to be Orange-esque.

cephalopod · « **Reply #557 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:42:40 PM »

^agreed, but I like it, apart from the weapon choice and the below issue.

I think the skirts are angled forward too much. Could be why it's tippy, and it might give it steering problems cos the chassis will be angled so far back. Try to make it so the chassis is vertical when the bot lands, then you'll spend less time falling at the start of the match, less chance of falling over and better steering.

What? Surely having the skirts higher will give a longer falling time?
Also, the tipping only lasts about 1/2 a second.

cephalopod · « **Reply #559 on:** November 13, 2010, 02:48:01 PM »

Since I'm completely confused, here's a diagram I made.

A will have longer falling time and be less stable at starts of matches and be worse at steering due to leaning chassis
B won't have those problems.

Just angle the motor up more, then you'll be able to make the skirt angle shallower.
