S32: This guy's already better than you when it comes to building. Also, that was the dumbest posts I've read in a while.

I like your VS Ounce. I think that as long as the rear stabilizers are required, I like them.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Robo, your sarcasm detectors are failing, and just because I can't have more than 60 components on a bot (DSL or Stock, it lags to heck anyway) without 1 fps-ing doesn't mean I suck.

I'll take that as a challenge.

I was making a point about generic advice.

I made one on wedges with No Rear Entry, I'll make one here.

I see what point you were trying to make now. My bad.

I also see no point in making that point. Nearly all bots benefit from stuff deemed "generic" (low centre of gravity, more damaging weapons, better drive, stronger armour, etc). Which, suprisingly, is why it's become "generic!"

Also, I'm glad you saw that as a challenge (seriously). Now, please impress us :)

BACK ON TOPIC!!!

Here's a bot that I have had for a while that I've just been revising occasionally: Lightning Assassin:

 With the exception of the control board being between the drive motors, everything is pretty much visible:
  • Hypnos on NPC Fasts
  • 4 ant batteries
  • 2 30kg sledgehammers
  • 3mm Al


Not as good as some of my other lightweights in my opinion, but pretty damn fast.  I kinda just posted this out of boredom.

Also out of boredom, state your opinion:

Do you think Naryar is going to be pissed when he get back?  How much?

Like I said, it's not a bad bot, I think he just put 1 side 20cm longer than the other.

I FINALLY DID IT!!!

Sorry about the big text, but this is probably the most accomplished I've felt during my short time here.  I finally created a version of Pulsar that's actually stable: Pulsar, version 7.4:


Not too much of the bot was changed, except for the more durable weaponry, and, of course, the new, more effective stabilizers.  I think the increased stability may be due to the stabilizers being much closer to the bot's center of gravity, but that wasn't enough, so I added front and rear stabilizers as well.

All I feel right now is...

Plus it can actually fight in low-walled arenas, and it still delivers some nasty hits.  Still has that exposed weapon motor though...

Trivia: Crosswind was going to be my entry for CC2, but after seeing that both the main bracket and the wild card bracket had been filled up, I decided to keep it in its weight class.  Three total versions of it have been built.

Did you use an anti ballast? I thought 799.9 was as heavy as you could go.
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
         You have relieved me in my distress;
         Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

No, in some cases it will let you build to exactly 800 kgs.  I don't know how that works, though.
