Looks awesome. Is it useful to have two different wheel types?

Now for a rebuild of DiSemboweLment:

3mm plastic, 4 razors, 4 ants, everything else is visible.

It now has an improved wedge, but more importantly, it has more armor, allowing it to beat shell spinners easier.

Included DoA just because I can.

I really ought to get the latest NAR AI pack and get a look at all those shell spinners. Definitely a good popup.

Is it better with 5mm plastic and weaker upper sheets?

Problem I see is the one of a wide double wedge getting stuck between side skirts and frontal skirts, but that shouldn't happen too often.

I love the design. Great job.

Wouldn't it be better if the upper skirts were protecting the chasis more?

Moving the sheets up will probably interfere with the self-righting process.

I think you have just made the perfect popup.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #670 on:** December 31, 2010, 11:05:47 AM »

Just no.
It's a very good popup but there will always be one that can beat it.

Yes, after a sudden two week leave I'm back (Yeah I know, not very long, but then again I'm not usually away for that long), and what better way to return than to revive my showcase after three months of inactivity. Since it's been that long I might as well show what I've been up to in RA2 lately.

First, a several-month-old design:

Pretty much everything is visible. 5mm plastic, Mag drive, 1 halfsheet.

Apart from beating a few wedges, it's pretty much worthless, and only exists because I wanted to build a MW VS with a 6-Mag.

Remember that Geared-Beta hammer I posted in the battleshots thread a while back? Now here is the full view:

5mm titanium, 6 ants, NPC fasts. It has 3 side panels and 2 heavy plows protecting the front. On the bottom are 2 halfsheets with a 40cm angled plastic sheet attached to each; these are to aid its stability, but since it havoks so much they aren't really doing anything.

By now its main flaw should be evident to you all already, but I don't want to give up on it just yet, because while it's not havoking, one hammer arm can easily dish out hits of around 4000.

Next, a revision to Civil Offense:

It's a definite improvement over the last iteration, but not by too much. It uses the same chassis as before, the only things that have changed were the weapon and armor setups.

The new weapon setup is lower to the ground, eliminates the need for excessive frontal armor, and allows it to juggle its opponents easier. Using the weight gained, I managed to add some rear armor, which the last version critically lacked, and at the same time, keep the front just as protected.

Finally, something completely random I came up with:

5mm titanium, 4 ants, 28 large beater bars, 34 razor tips, one 40cm side panel, caster, and DSL disc serving as armor.

Not really sure about this one. It works best as an anti-VS, but I think with some fine-tuning it can be more than that.

Overall, nothing spectacular, but I didn't want to just sit and watch my showcase rot any longer.

Good job :D

Scorpion · « **Reply #673 on:** April 01, 2011, 05:31:02 PM »

It looks cool, but i don't get the last bot.
Does it just act as somewhat of a rammer, and hope to outweapon VS?

Sage · « **Reply #674 on:** April 01, 2011, 06:17:44 PM »

with the new disembowelment, fight DoA2 in the bbeans arena.

The new Civil Offense looks AWESOME. It's even almost IRL realistic (almost).
