RIPOFF!

Well, if you have a better suggestion for a wedge/armor than a 30kg titanium plate, then I would love to hear it :P

Pretty good - seems overpowered though.

Since FnF has a relatively average wedge to modern standards it's not that difficult to beat it with such a wedge design...

I hope it can self-right this time. :P

And hooray for small wedges on flipper segments! :D

[Edit]Oh, and I would LOVE to see a match of that against Paper Cut 4! XD

Zapper needs to be rebuilt.....
........again.

Probably won't be building many MWs for a while after the rape and murder of my beloved BA3, but at least I have a pretty good LW:

Pretty much another Blade Barrier ripoff, but was also inspired by Urjak's Lasceron.

2 ants, 1mm titanium

*ahem* I don't have any other MWs that can beat BA3. :P

And schweet LW. :D

It looks very good, but i would get these 2 multi's closer to the center for protecting the front of the bot.

Maybe also less of an angle between your 2 weapons. I say 100° would be good.

The Ounce · « **Reply #267 on:** November 23, 2009, 08:03:54 PM »

Well, both of the MEs were already rotated 40° inwards, so the angle was already 100°, like this:

and I would bring the MEs more inwards if the collision mesh of the CB weren't in the way.

As for its bigger brother...

Switched out the front armor for a Sir Killalot drill, and gave it a different armor setup. Couldn't use the middle AP to attach the side panels; the rear side panel reaches higher than it looks.

God, I wish I knew how to BFE :-(

Either add me on Yahoo! Messenger or just send me the bot and tell me what to do. I'll try to help you. :P

Woooo, first bot on the new forums, and 400th post, sweet!!!

Corvus II

NPCFs, Technos
4 ants, 3 PC545s
Large JXs, 12 razors
5mm titanium

A completely original hammer design :P. Wedges are really good, but it can't use them most of the time unless I can keep it on both of its wheels at least 90% of the time.

Definitely needs some improvements, and some suggestions from our main hammer builder would be nice too.

OK, so wide wedges work REALLY well on hammers, for stability and trapping. Also, you want something on the top in front to keep other robots down. The skirts are a nice idea for a srimech but they add a lot of weight to the hammer, so you might want to think of something else. They also unbalance the bot.

Wider wedges would be the first thing I would do. With all that chassis armor you don't need Tit 5. Also, Medium plows would work fine I think. Use the extra weight to widen the wedges and add some sort of upper trapper to keep bots down. You could take off 2 of the razors on each burst if you wanted.

Naryar · « **Reply #271 on:** December 02, 2009, 03:40:57 AM »

Ahaha... You're not the only one that struggled to make a DSL hammer stable

Anyways, keep heavy plows, and you even might attach them directly to the chassis (like RGBear) since they seem to be tougher that way. The drive might be a little too fast for my liking as well.

Oh and for your wedges-go-off-the-ground problem, it's because of the bouncy skirt hinge rear stabilizers. Use STATIC rear stabilizers.

Pwnator · « **Reply #272 on:** December 02, 2009, 03:42:38 AM »

If you attached the skirts in such a way that they act as a counterweight and srimech at the same time, that would be awesome. :D

And yeah, you could probably remove the front shell panels and add a trapper of some sort. :D

The Ounce · « **Reply #273 on:** December 04, 2009, 06:11:58 PM »

4WD NPCF/Hypno wheels
8 ants, 1 large CO2 tank
8 razors, 8 medium beater bars, 4 light DS teeth
5mm titanium

Something I came up with yesterday, but I couldn't test it much because:
1. I was extremely busy,
2.

This actually happens to me quite often with this setup, and it's starting to make me dislike it, "efficient" as it may be. In fact, that's the main issue with this right now:

Speaking of which, armor is now 5mm plastic and the srimech skirts are now 120 cms, straight, and plastic.

At least neither of them are suffering from AGOD.

BTW, Happy B-day Mike!!!

Your poker really has a weird weapon setup and 1 large Puma is clearly not enough.

The hammer looks better.

The Ounce · « **Reply #275 on:** December 04, 2009, 09:26:45 PM »

Well, it's kind of a poker/juggler hybrid, and I don't really know how power consumption works on pneumatics. Maybe I could put the pistons and plow more towards the rear to solve the wedge problem?

Sage · « **Reply #276 on:** December 04, 2009, 11:28:35 PM »

Still need wider wedges on the hammer. Turn the top snowplow upside down. Need more rear stabilizers.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #277 on:** December 05, 2009, 12:09:48 PM »

The first one is awsome

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #278 on:** December 05, 2009, 12:39:07 PM »

I like the first one as well. It looks great!

JoeBlo · « **Reply #279 on:** December 05, 2009, 09:08:56 PM »

D: my idea has been stolen lol

I tried making something like the first 1 in stock but never got it to work as efficiently as a pop up, congrats on making one that looks pretty effective

like Naryar said it will need "more gas in its ass"

(hehe another futurama quote, that makes 2 today)
