I need to be updating this more often....

Anyway, hi guys :D this crapcase is back, because there's a bot I want to show to y'all.

A Wammer called Ram Jam

(I know the name doesn't fit because it's a Wammer, but still =P). This is a possible entry for BoF^2.

Tite 1 and regular NPCs.

Reminds me of Bullet Tracer.

Ugly. Make it a rammer and put actual aesthetic features on like consistent angles and neater exterior armour.

FTFY

also this is what you've sent now so it's much more than a possible entry :P

All i'll say is its wedge sucks, combined with its speed and low walls.... :P

so... much... unneccessary extender work...

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #325 on:** February 02, 2012, 01:58:51 AM »

Hmm.. I can't even say is that supposed to be IRL design or not

smashysmashy · « **Reply #326 on:** February 02, 2012, 03:08:30 AM »

Thank you for all of your kind words <3

Nah, but seriously, that's a bit soul crushing. Is it really that bad?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #327 on:** February 02, 2012, 04:00:26 AM »

I'm not whacking or anything. I just wanna know is that IRL design or not o_o

Naryar · « **Reply #328 on:** February 02, 2012, 05:37:56 AM »

What matters to me is that 4WD drive is overkill on a MW wammer, the extender work is bad, not enough weapons, what else ??

It's not really bad, it's just awfully average...

In terms of IRL, it's a decent bot, although the wedge is just plain bad. If you were to widen the front of the chassis, and shrink the front wedge so it fit, like Plunberbird 2's Bulldozer Blade, that would give it a much better appearance, I reckon. Or even just bend it over so it faces upwards and merges in with the ramplates and the rest of the front bits. It'd suck, but at least it would appear vastly more IRL, in my view.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #330 on:** February 02, 2012, 11:01:38 AM »

Or maybe it would be better to scrap it entirely?

Maybe that sounds a bit pointless and drastic, but from the feeling I'm getting from the reaction is that: Even if it was improved, the principle behind the robot is flawed anyway, and so would always be too <expletive> to be worth keeping hold of.

Also, there's quite a lot of complaint with the exterior armour. Is that just the extenders or does that also mean the ramplates are at fault as well?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #331 on:** February 02, 2012, 12:42:22 PM »

Nobody?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #332 on:** February 02, 2012, 03:24:19 PM »

Well, ok then.

Badger · « **Reply #333 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:57:53 AM »

Do what you want. =D

Maybe you could do something really IRL, like something you'd see on the show, not just IRL but effective, if you know what I mean.

No? OK then... *Forever alone*

smashysmashy · « **Reply #334 on:** February 03, 2012, 03:51:02 PM »

OHAI TRB =3

Yeah, I guess you've just summed up the idea of IRL building right there =P

How about a Team Whyachi-esque huge bloody great big spinner on a shuffler bot? =D

Badnik96 · « **Reply #335 on:** February 03, 2012, 05:18:25 PM »

what, you don't want to use Steel Arrow?

well there goes 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Thank you.

Also reier tried a shuffling spinner. However he made it to the walker weight limit and couldn't send it. Sad really, it would have been entertaining ;D

Badger · « **Reply #336 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:04:57 PM »

Try making a HW walker, but nothing from the weapons tab can be connected (directly or indirectly) to a ztek, hpztek, Redbird or RAD. See how quickly you can defeat emergency.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #337 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:08:29 PM »

but this is a DSL tournament, and therefore Zteks, redbirds and RADS are not allowed

Badger · « **Reply #338 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:11:39 PM »

Who says that it's for a tournament? I was just sugesting something to build, possibly resulting in a nice and 'different' challenge. What tournament is this, then? I'm not up-to-date on all this tourney stuff.

smashysmashy · « **Reply #339 on:** March 01, 2012, 03:38:01 PM »

Wow, looks like I never read this.

Sorry TRB, I'm not going back into Stock. For now. And sorry Badnik =3

Anyway, a new bot. I really wanted to do something a little different, so how about a non-invertible pusher with a really powerful Srimech attached in such a way it does not get in the way of the drive? Coming right up

Tite 3 and it's weird, I know. Oh and it's a judge burst, because it would not self-right with either a bsg or a mag.
