(Double post sorry)
I took the concept of Batman and made this HW:

Here are some insides (Some stuff is missing from this pic, this is because I added them later.):

Do robot wars bots have 3 hammers? (hint: no, they don't)

If you want to play for max efficiency, go for DSL-S. IRL isn't for efficiency.

Besides, a bot with that many hammers and that few batteries is gonna run dry in 30 seconds flat. Looks good, but Badger's right: it's too unrealistic for IRL and too artsy for DSL-S.

Ill have to agree with the hammer issue. HOWEVER there are 2 black batteries in there, as well as the 2 ants, the black ones just blend in too much. I might convert it to a HS.

put a beta in there

I turned it into a VS. This was either a really good, or really bad idea.

Internals are the same, except no hammer motors, added some mid supports, changed wheels, and moved batteries and control board.

I-... I don't like it anymore

It's not bad. Weapon motors are weak though and Mechavore discs make me sad like that.

I knew the mechavore discs will make people mad.
Changing the discs if 2 more say that was a bad idea.

(double post again, sorry)

Ok, I changed it up a bit...

(Not in pic: I realised that it was now over 800 KG, so I removed those useless beater bars above the wheels.)

TheRoboteer · « **Reply #130 on:** December 18, 2016, 04:42:42 PM »

If it were me I'd probably make the discs themselves bigger and the teeth a bit smaller/less stick-y out. Looking pretty good though.

Probably Rob · « **Reply #131 on:** December 18, 2016, 04:55:58 PM »

Actually, I didn't like it because it's not the hammer version anymore

Oh.

Anyways, other news: Apparently my weapon clipped my batteries, which clipped the control board, so that's fixed. Also edited the weapon.

Now I am faced with a decision. Should I do 2 Mechavore discs, or the setup I have now? VOTE IN THE OFFICIAL BACON BOWL POLL!

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #133 on:** December 18, 2016, 05:40:22 PM »

how about one disc with a stronger motor?

Added idea to the poll

kix · « **Reply #135 on:** December 18, 2016, 05:47:35 PM »

Maybe an Horizontal bar.. like Ironside 3?

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #136 on:** December 18, 2016, 06:16:07 PM »

Looks like 1 motor won. I tried doing this, I have no Mechavore discs.

It's starting to look ugly. Stick to the axe/hammer variant

You know what, I agree.

Gonna change the original hammer version later.

(I hate all these double posts, but they always have nothing to do with the post before)

I went back to the hammer design, and had some extra weight left over...

It is now a mix between a hammer, and a flail SnS. The axes do not go through anything, so it (should) be IRL.
