It's cool looking, but it doesn't looks like a good counter to HS. In fact I think it would be a better counter to rammers.

Design is to counter IRL spinners by using their kinetic energy to power its own disc whilst also dissipating the force. It also provides all-round chassis protection that most rammers lack.

How can it be free spinning if the wheels cut through the disk?

It's an unpowered Ring Spinner, which is an IRL design that has to be made this way in RA2. An axle mount is used instead of a motor, which allows for more powerful drive to be fitted, and less weight required to be spent on batteries.

Just a couple of NQRW bots.

Remember, signups open on FRIDAY.

Lookin' grandiose.

Minion Beetle looks cool, but what's the bye bot suposed to be a remake of?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #1106 on:** September 01, 2011, 02:27:25 AM »

It's actually Behemoth. (No rule saying bot type has to be the same)

Battlebots entry. Just under 1600kg. 5mm Titanium armour. Dual perm powered. 6WD servo "wheels".

Looks nice. Can we have a peek at the "wheels"? They're a bit too obscured for me by the dsl bar

Servo>Small Drum>4 Small BBs

Looks very nice indeed. And it is stable enough, it doesn't start gyro dancing like Freezerburn did?

Urjak · « **Reply #1111 on:** October 02, 2011, 12:32:18 PM »

Man... that puts my SHW to shame, at least in aesthetics. Very nicely done.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #1112 on:** October 02, 2011, 12:35:33 PM »

Thanks guys!
@NFX It doesn't gyro dance as such. But it acts like a gyroscope if it is flipped over or onto its side.

I say enter that one. Much more deadly.

It looks very nice. Great job there.

The skin on TriClone is amazing! Very well done!

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #1117 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:01:07 PM »

Weird skin colour leakage...

Conraaa · « **Reply #1118 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:08:39 PM »

~~Why didn't I think of making that a multibot~~
Very nice. Shame about the weird skin glitch though.

NFX · « **Reply #1119 on:** October 03, 2011, 01:26:04 PM »

Very nice indeed. That sometimes happens on circular chassis's, though. You could try adding it as a decal if you wanted to.
