I'm just finding it harder to make decisions.  The fact that I'm against ^this guy^ again isn't helping.

Just choose something, ok? Dont really feel like waiting yet another 2 weeks, besides your bots look like they have good chances agains GKs bots.

Ounce!! Just one bot! To me it looks like you dont even care that you have a chance of winning a tournament. If you are unable to PM me with wich of your sent bots you want to fight against GK in the final by next saturday midnight (gmt+2), im going to refilm losers final and make Jonzu the winner! I do not want to have to randomize the bot for the grand final!

Finally got rid of builders' block somewhat and made a few designs in the past few days.

5mm plastic, normal NPCs, 40 small beater bars and 16 light DS teeth.

The idea was to put as many individual weapons as I can on a HW VS.  It reminded me of Second Sunrise when it was done so I named it Dual Sunrise.

5mm titanium, 3 ants, 2 large CO2 tanks, normal NPCs, 28 razors and 2 beater bars.

Another design built to take out popups, attacks the top and rear of bots. Had the idea for a few days, but didn't realize it was like 123's first showcased bot until during building.

5mm titanium, 2 ants, 520 kgs of DSL hammers.

It's really a for-fun design, and another case where I wanted to put a lot of weaponry on a bot, but in this case, it focused on shear weapon weight.  It's very unstable and realism is questionable.

(Image removed from quote.)

That looks too complex to be even possible. Very nice, i'm stuck for ideas on how to improve it. Maybe try and get Killdozer's at the front, just to be 100% sure? I think that a Sheck Spinner or Rammer might rape it after the scoops come off.

Kewl, but unsure about extender work. Maybe use DSL bars since they're tougher than extenders

Major Uproar:

5mm plastic, 3 ants, Normal NPCs, 12 small DS teeth and 4 large beater bars.

I wanted to make a Candy Bar-style VS, as well as a VS with an E-Tek (I think I have yet to make a good bot that uses an E-Tek weapon motor).  I didn't expect it to perform well after seeing how exposed the chassis bottom was, but once I put it in the arena I was quite surprised:

Can't believe I managed to beat Second Sunrise with one disc, nor that I beat Erasure at all.

Kewl.

Also, you shouldn't be surprised you beat Second Sunrise and Erasure 2. If you've noticed, both have weak stabilizers. XD

Maybe you can put a caster on the bottom if you want more protection.
