I only did that to get attention.

I don't have much made, so I'll just post a wheelosaurus replica I made for ELBITE.

This is the batthe version. Mt TT has a ramplate, and KOTH has DSL bars.

You could:
-remove a lot of batts. This bot is seriously overpowered. One 20kg black battery is enough for two drive magmotors, and if after trying you bot it's not enough you can add an ant batt.
-use the baseplate extenders, the tall black and red things rather than the classic anchors. 1kg lighter, smaller and has more AP's.

How does it fight, and could you show the other ones too ?

(BTW the tabletop version can't have damaging weapons and the ramplate is one)

Sorry.

The extra batteries are for weight. I had one big one, and I saw snails faster than it.

What? that ramplate is a weapon? I thought you could use Ramplate as armour or a pushing tool.

This one can either ram, or spin to attack.

No need to get sorry. Ramplates do light damage, hence the name.

I was feeling nice so i built that in a little more than 5 minutes. It has 3mm plastic armor, three baseplate extenders, one 20kg batt and one ant batt as i suggested, and the battery is half-depleted after a 3 minute fight. Decently fast.

No, I was curious about how the other versions are built and how do they fight...

Well, the King of the hill has beater bars instead of weapons and irons on the wheel sides, and You already heard about my Tabletop pusher.

All bots are invertible and can cause decent damage.

it's a preveiw of the bot without weapons.

That's the bot, losing to chaos.

It needs to be a MW.

Naryar · « **Reply #7 on:** October 04, 2008, 08:22:05 AM »

The only tabletop that I've heard of was the weird control board one... and remember, you must make bots with the same chassis. if you use that Wheelosaurus replica in fighting, you'll certainly just use a rammer on the KotH (neat idea, that said) and a pusher on the KotH.

Somebody, I know! But that was just an example of small chassis.

Sorry, I didn't notice that You posted it.

When Overkill and Pillar of Fire reproduce, the result means trouble:

Be afraid. Be very, very, afraid.

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** October 24, 2008, 02:28:14 PM »

Afraid of this?

It has crappy wheels and isn't even invertible.

System32 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2008, 02:34:14 PM »

Meh, It still creates a LOT of damage compared to other BW's. I'll revise it if you have to be that much of a critic.

Hey, Are there going to be many BW's in the DSL AI pack? Or is it going to be filled with a bunch of Mako clones?

Naryar · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2008, 02:40:43 PM »

Yeah, I'd like some BW's on the AI pack. Each of my personal teams will include one.

Seriously, you should go with grippier and bigger wheels (Vladiator's), and this bot is underweight.

System32 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 24, 2008, 02:49:23 PM »

Ok. I've angled the blades so it doesn't bounce like a football and lose momentum. Thanks.

Somebody · « **Reply #14 on:** October 24, 2008, 03:00:51 PM »

You have a little under 20 pounds left, make the extenders or motors stronger.

Sage · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2008, 03:31:41 PM »

use hypno wheels, if you don't care about i being invertible. you have the weight, and it will spin faster.

System32 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 24, 2008, 03:53:40 PM »

I hate it wnen this happens. Three different people giving me advice. Can't you see I've taken Nar's advice. I'm pretty sure I DON'T have any weight left.

Somebody · « **Reply #17 on:** October 24, 2008, 04:01:54 PM »

I didn't notice the second page.

Naryar · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2008, 04:06:13 PM »

ZOMG he took my advice !!1!one!

Sys32 please don't moan, we are just giving different opinions and trying to help you. I would make it invertible because one of the things that made Pillar of Fire lose is it's invertibility. If Haymaker wasn't invertible, it would have sucked. That's my point.

System32 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2008, 04:09:02 PM »

I think Stability is before Invertibility. What's the point of a SnS that can be flipped when it can't spin right? Also, I'm working on the next BW.
