No kidding.

Would be a good idea to send it to me for Masters Of Disaster.

You may want to slightly downgrade the weapon so you can fit better drive and batteries in. I reckon a small DSL disc with four Typhoon teeth will hit even harder, should save you some weight, and you can put like a Lightning spike or something on the middle of the disc so it doesn't get stuck on it if it's flipped.

...how stable is this?

Badger · « **Reply #226 on:** February 03, 2017, 05:44:01 PM »

That's a funny way of leaving GTM

Anyway you should move the drive motors to the back I think, since it needs a longer wheelbase rather than width to be stable. And move the drive motors up a couple ticks too. Can you replace a few of those ants with 1 black?

Kinda looks like a face does it?

396.6 KG, Alu 5, and I just realised I have some extra batteries.

Where did all the weight go?

Alu 5, the drivetrain and the discs I think

Discs are really weight inefficient when you're only using 2 of the attachment points. That drivetrain seems a bit overkill for a MW HS too, you should consider downgrading that and spending the weight on something that will help you against gutrippers. Those extenders and exposed weapon motors probably aren't going to last long. Maybe look at Thrackerzod's Clash Century bot from Ironforge.

Hands Down, this might actually be a good bot.

398 KG, Aluminum 5.

too slow, too make weapons on the bursts, beaters arent good for popups, and ants sux

Reier · « **Reply #233 on:** February 11, 2017, 03:32:53 PM »

also its thumbs are on the outside

Baconus_Yum · « **Reply #234 on:** February 25, 2017, 06:13:53 PM »

RedditBots HW is done (BTW 03 Won)

LW is starting soon, lets make something (saying rules are the same)

Overhang. Was too lazy to make a skin. 249 KG

(after looking at it again, I might change the name)

Internals? It needs to have a lower ground clearance for that.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #236 on:** February 27, 2017, 12:33:26 AM »

...it's a box. congratulations

Mecha · « **Reply #237 on:** February 27, 2017, 01:00:50 AM »

i'm sorry but that's kind of horrendous

Philippa · « **Reply #238 on:** February 27, 2017, 04:43:44 AM »

Isn't this just Lawnmower with a 10% less sh**ty skin?

Badger · « **Reply #239 on:** February 27, 2017, 04:47:25 AM »

I think it would be a lot nicer if you moved the drive motors up one or two ticks, to reduce the ground clearance. You didn't exactly take a flattering screenshot either :P
