Looks good. I'm still trying to see how you attached the disc, though.

Upside down baseplate anchor, axle load the wheels off, attach disc.

Ahh.... Ok. Great bot, then. :)

Yet another VS:

NPC fasts, 3 ants, 6-mag, 20 beater bars, 24 small DS teeth, 2 halfsheets.

Before you ask, no it's not a Hellish Uproar rebuild, but since that is what it reminded me of, I gave it that generic flame skin used on the other Uproar bots.

Adept at killing wedges including wammers, as you can see, but that rear armor hinders its self-righting capabilities, and doesn't do a very good job of protecting the bot. I'll have to fix that.

Also, this is my 1000th non-playground post (real post count is 1094)! w00t!!!

Certainly an interesting design there- can't think of much else to say :P

And congrats on becoming a Superheavyweight

Are 2 halfsheets even necessary... and maybe more battery power ?

The Ounce · « **Reply #606 on:** September 12, 2010, 11:30:12 AM »

There's no harm in having a little extra armor, and it's more realistic that way. I don't think it needs more batteries; it already beats Savage Assault pretty much every time.

I now present Bullet Ant 6:

5mm plastic, 8 razors, 6 ants.

Definitely the best one in the series by far, combining elements from the 3rd and 5th versions (in case some of you are wondering, the 4th one was never shown because it wasn't much different from the 3rd version). It can out-wedge anything (inconsistently, but still), has powerful attacks, and best of all, no AGOD!

The angled 40cm skirts from BA3 are back, but this time they're mounted on the burst motors, so now they not only work as armor, but they act as a flipping mechanism to keep its opponent in the air while it hammers on its chassis (no, they do not block the razors), and they also act as a srimech aid.

"Building wedges in DSL is bullsh**", eh ?

'cause it is.

Awesome!

Woah that's really cool. What are the 2 titanium skirts on the side for?

Doomkiller · « **Reply #611 on:** September 12, 2010, 07:20:03 PM »

That is wicked.

Sent it to me for Raging DSL MWs *shameles plug*

You know, I've had that in my signature for half a year :P. Notice how many wedged bots I've built during that time and how many were actually successful.

Read the last paragraph.

Nothing spectacular, but I've made a couple of modifications:

As you can see I've changed Europa's weapon setup (the reason I didn't use a 100 cm disk in the first place was because I thought the increased weapon diameter would take away from its stability) and used the weight gained to add a rear stabilizer.

By slightly changing V.M. Worker's weapon setup, I've made it much more stable. It also has a couple of really lucky wins under its belt:

Not that surprised against I4, but Star Dust? :O

Badnik96 · « **Reply #615 on:** September 19, 2010, 06:41:19 PM »

Europa looks awesome :D

And when did Star Dust get sledges? O-O

Pwnator · « **Reply #616 on:** September 19, 2010, 10:32:10 PM »

In the latest (or probably second latest) NAR AI.

Ugg no........ I never put sledges on it.

Naryar · « **Reply #618 on:** September 20, 2010, 01:36:47 AM »

123 hates sledges :P

3mm plastic, NPC fasts, 3 PC645s and 3 ants.

Haven't really built anything good in DSL recently. This is the most decent thing I've built in DSL over the past month. Still its wedge is pretty good and it's quite the flipper despite being underpowered.
