Aaaaaah ok. That makes sense.

You're gonna use the same bot for two of the competitions? Giga did tell he will higly prohibit it...

(Although I do agree with you, because I can't figure how to change my KotH bot to deathmatch one)

Somebody · « **Reply #141 on:** October 06, 2008, 07:03:09 AM »

There are 3 different drums. A powerful one for Deathmatch, a rugged one for KoTH, and one with extenders that flips bots.

and one with extenders that flips bots.

I actually thought of that design for my bot, a modulable classic VS (disc) with non-damaging parts for the tabletop...

But the problem is that there's NO way a classic VS can win a tabletop or a KotH. VS have generally low drive train and drive train (and a good wedge) is king on tabletops. Without mentionning their unstability.

Here is a new bot the will KO all of the DSL AI, in AI style. It just cant Kill Mako, It gets under it though. It has 10mm Plastic. It is called Razorodia.

Naryar · « **Reply #145 on:** October 16, 2008, 03:55:48 PM »

Not bad at all. Although I'm not sure about the weapon choice.

You really like those titanium sheets dont you?

As Nar said, looks(and sounds) pretty good.

Naryar · « **Reply #147 on:** October 16, 2008, 05:26:32 PM »

Oh, and the wedge!

The ground clearance is great but i don't see any consistent wedge on this bot.

Builders' interpretations of realism is becoming less and less realistic...

Naryar · « **Reply #149 on:** October 17, 2008, 07:04:17 AM »

Indeed.

Although stacking the battlepacks in the motors is nice.

That said, I bet you can make this realistic, by placing the batts another way, and by assuming the spike strips are welded together.

And that titanuim sheet?

H@zm47 · « **Reply #151 on:** October 17, 2008, 08:42:39 AM »

S32: It's totally feasible having weapons pass though the titanium sheet as it would be possible to cut holes in it.

Somebody: that's a cool bot but idk about the exposed wheels. But what do I know? I can't build a popup for peanuts...

System32 · « **Reply #152 on:** October 17, 2008, 09:57:11 AM »

No, It's not centered properly. That's the problem.

Somebody · « **Reply #153 on:** October 17, 2008, 03:27:32 PM »

I like the weapons because of the long reach and 336 DP, which is better than Iron Spikes. I had the weight anyway. There is actually some room under the mags, and I could raise them up, get rid of some armor, and put some more in.

Edit: w00t! 800 Posts!

Some new bots
Haunt 3 and Razorodia 2
Haunt 3 has Aluminum 3(you don't even need to say it Naryar, but it was the best that would fit under the weight limit), and Razorodia 2 has Titanium 5.

Somebody · « **Reply #155 on:** October 26, 2008, 07:05:10 AM »

Some battleshots of Haunt 3

Looks scary. Nice work

Somebody · « **Reply #157 on:** October 29, 2008, 06:06:49 AM »

My first ever splash. It is crap. I know

It is the ultimate grinder because when it hits bots, it doesn't really throw them, they stay on the blade and it keeps spinning as it is racking up points.

Naryar · « **Reply #158 on:** October 29, 2008, 06:35:03 AM »

That bot has nearly no defenses at all. Must be pretty fast for a HS, that said.

Oh, and this armor problem must be fixed if you want to enter into my pack.

Somebody · « **Reply #159 on:** October 29, 2008, 12:50:18 PM »

I know. It is very fast though, and is hard for wedges to get under. The ground clearance is so low. I could probably get better armor if I took off the DS teeth, becasue all they do is fall of and unbalance the bot.
