A new bot called Snuggles. Let us see if anyone can guess what it does.
Stats:
5mm Steel
NPC motors
Can beat most DSL bots
Was inspired by a video

linear actuators...?

it hugs the other bot. i can see a line of spiked clubs going down the sides.looks alright.

Urjak · « **Reply #123 on:** September 27, 2008, 05:23:07 PM »

I know, it is a horizontal hammer bot with spike clubs stacked one on top of the other. Or wait, he also might be a linear actuator powered bot with the same weapons.

Thats a horizontal hammer, there is no space for even firestorm pistons(unless stacked)

It looks good, but wouldnt it get destroyed before the other bot gets inside?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #125 on:** September 27, 2008, 10:12:24 PM »

definitely 10mm steel i'm guessing by the lack of components and its weight.

Somebody · « **Reply #126 on:** September 28, 2008, 07:59:38 AM »

You guys did good it has 2 linear actuators, but only 5mm Steel. ICM got beaten before it could KO it(although it only had the top spinner left)
Inside pic coming soon.

Edit: The inside pic and the long overdue pic of Asplode II

Asplode 2 can barely flip anything, as the pistons are alot weaker than the Storms

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE LINEAR ACTUATORS

TAKE THAT EVERYONE

I saw the name "Snuggles" and instantly thought "Huggy Bear". Betcha one of Huggy Bear's fights is the video that inspired Somebody.

Bots look pretty good, but Asplode 2 is severely drive-challenged. FYI, using two wheels on one motor doesn't make you any faster.

Somebody · « **Reply #130 on:** October 02, 2008, 03:15:53 PM »

Asplode 2: It actually drives alot better than you would think.
1. I put to wheels for possibly better grip (I didn't know if it would help or not) but the main reason was:
2. If a bot knocked off the outside wheel, there is still another wheel to drive with.

The inspiration was Madiaba's BigtimeWrestler bot in the Mad's Mods. The shape was inspired by Huggy Bear though.

My ELBITE bot.

I can't really see well...

No, wait, this is a Perm 64-powered drum... Are you really sure a drum will fair well in a tabletop? Because this perm is visibly attached to the chassis and IDK what you're gonna do with a vertical perm in a tabletop.

By the way, you seriously need to have less ground clearance and grippier wheels.

Somebody · « **Reply #133 on:** October 05, 2008, 09:12:30 AM »

Wait, so everything that is attached to the baseplate has to stay?

If so, I need to start rebuilding.

Naryar · « **Reply #134 on:** October 05, 2008, 09:46:31 AM »

Yes! Have a look at the rules.

You can't change/move:
-the chassis
-everything that is directly attached to the baseplate(excepted that you can rotate the skirt hinges, but not move them), the battery/airtank setup

You can change:
-everything that is attached to a baseplate component (wheels, weapon heads, skirts, etc)
-the chassis type of armor.

Okay, I actually made a drum-flipper bot. When it has faster wheels, it tips and is impossible to turn.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #136 on:** October 05, 2008, 03:47:51 PM »

i thought it was stock?

System32 · « **Reply #137 on:** October 05, 2008, 03:58:48 PM »

He changed it.

Drum and flipper? Unefficient hybrid. With the flipper flipping the bot, the drum will spin uselessly 3/4 of the time even if you get under the other bot.

I mean, in AI! The AI will fire the flipper every time it can and the drum won't do much damage .

It would be a good hybrid if the flipper was used just once to get the other bot on the drum. But this is something an AI can't do.

Reier · « **Reply #139 on:** October 05, 2008, 05:40:29 PM »

I think he might mean he replaces the flipper on the TT & the drum in battle. As in they're interchangible.
