Looks good, it must take ages to get chasis's that tight.

Also, wat are the large battery's equivalent to in terms of ants? I always thought they were equal to 10 ants?

Looks cool, most likely something similar would become if I rebuilt Elevator a second time...

That is extremely good chassis management, well done. If you used straight panels for the front armour, and added a Small Wedge component to the front wedge, would that help?

Fastest MW Beta flipper I've ever seen.

He said the wedge is already pretty good. If anything, it needs a bit more battery, but obviously that's not going to happen.

I had just realized that Gammaraze V had AGOD

So I made a new one:

It uses the same internal setup as the first one, but I managed to gain enough weight to upgrade the wedges, and it now has an aluminum skirt at the back to increase stability.

Don't be stupid, why would ounce use DSA?

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #628 on:** October 21, 2010, 08:47:32 AM »

I have to agree with Naryar... Top builders wont use DSA in DSL. It's obvious...

It could have been a mistake. Just asking 'cos it has a white skin.

I'm pretty sure you remember this from TAR:

OK maybe not since I never used it :P.

Still, now it's back, in HW form:

5 ants, NPCFs, 5mm titanium, 24 razors, 22 beater bars, and the rest is visible.

I know it's essentially ReFraction with a vertical spinner, and I know the VS weaponry is kind of mediocre, but it has a pretty good wedge, and the spinner makes it less boring to watch than ReFraction, so I'm happy with it.

Pwnator · « **Reply #631 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:29:41 AM »

How about removing some of the razors from the racks and putting them on the VS instead? A dual mag seems to be overkill with that kind of weaponry.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #632 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:34:40 AM »

I agree.. the VS part seems rather worthless with LW class weaponry

123savethewhales · « **Reply #633 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:35:47 AM »

Agree with Pwn about the motor, but I suggest reducing to perm 80 or mag for more weapons.

It is refraction after all. Time is not of the essence.

Naryar · « **Reply #634 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:40:38 AM »

Plus you screwed up invertibility with the extra long ME...

123savethewhales · « **Reply #635 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:43:28 AM »

Maybe it can self right........ If not then yeah that need to be fixed.

If it's for the sake of non-yawner matches, then why not? :P

The Ounce · « **Reply #637 on:** November 26, 2010, 07:26:18 PM »

Really the VS is there only to de-shell SS, so I really shouldn't worry about having little weaponry on it. Besides, Kheper got away with weighing half as much and having half the weaponry.

Still:

I would call this version better. Apart from the VS, everything is the same.

Doesn't make a difference, this one drives inverted just as poorly as the first one.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #638 on:** November 26, 2010, 08:05:14 PM »

Well the way this game works HW need more than 2x weapon that of a MW. Because batteries, chassis, metal hinge, small wedge, and NPC Fast are all fix cost. This is also why a SHW tend to have 2x the weapon of a HW while weighting only 50% more.

That said, I just thought it was too much motor/extender weight for that weapon system, when a Perm 80 would do just fine.

The Ounce · « **Reply #639 on:** December 04, 2010, 04:20:21 PM »

Ugh... I can't believe I've had to rebuild this so many times, but here's another version of Pulsar, vDB2:

5mm titanium, 5 ants, NPC fasts, Extra Large Perm 132s.

For once I've managed to make it fairly decent. Fast, durable weaponry, and hard to KO. The only real problem is that the wheels are very exposed and will inevitably get torn off in most matches, but if you think that it is completely helpless without its wheels, then you are DEAD. WRONG.

Also, yes, the weapons are concentric and they counter-rotate, for those who can't tell.
