I've beaten Lock Nut on several occasions with it.

Cool. I don't think I did that with Dynamo, though I guess I could with a bit of luck.

Good bot, but could use more spikes.

@ Red: You're right, I just got lucky in that match; it loses 75% of the time.

I think the spikes are fine, though I wonder if the placement of the 2 weapon types should be reversed (put the Light DS Teeth where the razor tips are and vice versa), or left the same.

Well, my LW poker has 6 pointy tips (Will probably change sometime), and my BW poker (Dynamo) has 3 razor tips. My 172.1kg bot almost matches your LW's attack potential.

EDIT: Oh wait, I didn't notice the light DS teeth. But they're useless until the razor tips go anyway.

Nice. Very nice. but the ripping teeth arnt gona do much because the razor tips are in the way

Fixed it. It now has a better weapon setup:

better. allthough unless ur vs a slim bot the ripping teeth will probaly not hit the other bot because of how long the razor tips are

Still can't believe you took out a sledge with 4 razors. :O

I still liked the first one better...but I do not know much about DSL effectiveness.

Wrong. This design of weapon can do well against weapons like HS and VS by trapping them in the rack. It also can cause effective damage if it attacks a wheel or corner.

Also, Do you come from an english speaking country? I hope you don't, otherwise The future is ****ing doomed.

First one's weapon system and weight distribution were definitely better.

Ever wondered why 90% of Stock pokers and rammers have their all their weapons in a straight line (NOT a V-shaped setup, but a wall of irons/maces/etc) and use only weapons of the same length ?

Well it's the same in DSL.

System32 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 22, 2009, 12:10:49 PM »

Because they usually have to fight 5 HS with large tribars and large weapon diameters in any tourney?

Because they usually have enough left over space to use a Snapper wedge?

Because they haven't got enough weight due to a lot of weight spent on a HPZ drive?

I give up, tell me.

Which is better?

Anyway, really, put both designs in a AI violence fight.

The Ounce · « **Reply #36 on:** June 22, 2009, 02:04:23 PM »

The reason for the second weapon setup is so it can do better against VSs. The V-shaped setup generally does as well as the plow-shaped setup and can beat Poison Stinger more easily.

@ Nar: I don't really know how I can have a weapon array in a straight line without taking necessaries away from the other systems and stay at the weight limit at the same time. Smaller beater bars maybe?

I believe Australia is an English speaking country. So you are ****ing doomed.. That and I don't have much experience with this game yet.

Here's a robot that's annoying the crap out of me to perfect and you could probably guess why. Here is Pulsar v6.0:

2 Vlads on NPC Fasts
6 ant batts
2 60kg sledgehammers attached to 2 70kg hammerheads
3 titanium half sheets for defense against gut-rippers
5mm titanium

Strengths:

Very durable weapon
Self-rights well
Overall decent defense

Weaknesses:

Very unstable
Exposed weapon motor
Slightly overpowered

It beats Industrial Coal Miner, Grog, the Vengeful, and WIIDE LOAD all fairly well. Can beat CE in the BBEANS Arena, but not Smashbox 2. My main goal with this robot was to make it stable, but also realistic. I gained one of those elements, now I have to work on perfecting the other.
