Hopefully my only LW shell spinner DOES NOT USE FLAILS.

K, need some help here

I got a nice design going here, but every time I try to do the anti-AGOD technique when I go into battle, the wedges end up stuck in this position:

Which causes the bot to only be effective while upside-down.

Technos, NPCFs, 6 ants, 2 battlepacks, 16 razors, 5mm titanium.

I might end up just scrapping this bot, but I really like it, mainly because when it's upside-down, it becomes a deadly undercutter HS (which I find the bot more effective that way, other than the more exposed dual-mags). It's overpowered as well.

If I do that, then it will lose its originality (although I don't think it's truly original because I think this design has already been tried before).

DP, yet again.

After seeing one of Inf's most recently showcased DSL bots, I wanted to see if I can improve his design. Here's what I ended up with:

4 ants, 3mm plastic.

In my opinion, it's not too good, but better than Inf's :P. Beats most HS and rammers, and anything it can get under, but it's a bit wobbly. And yes, I used axle loading to attach the chewblades; I don't know if that would still be considered realistic.

I know it still needs improvement, but I can't think of how to improve what needs to be. Any suggestions?

Unless I'm seeing it wrong, it would appear that the blades cut right through the skirt hinge, making it unrealistic. I would try to fix that to make it realistic. Besides that it looks good. Compact and well built.

Regarding the AGODding, try exporting and importing it. This sometimes worked for me.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #229 on:** September 20, 2009, 09:00:37 PM »

Not realistic and not better than mine.

Naryar · « **Reply #230 on:** September 20, 2009, 10:02:50 PM »

Nice exposed 1000 HP extender in the middle...

...And chewblade are so damn weak.

Condor33 · « **Reply #231 on:** September 21, 2009, 06:07:52 AM »

Use saws, and if you have the weight a spike in the middle.

I must say I really like the look of the HW, interesting design... I have actually been working on a few robots designs similar but the drums are in a VS style position

The Ounce · « **Reply #233 on:** September 21, 2009, 08:54:27 PM »

C33: I built a version that had saws before the showcased version, but it was much too brittle, even with the side protection. I decided to use chewblades instead, but that one wasn't much better; I'm just not good at building sawbots. And I tried your suggestion regarding the HW, but after many times, it still didn't fix it.

JB: Thanks, I drew some inspiration from AWTH and a sideways drum posted by Naryar about two months ago. Too bad I rebuilt it, but I still kept the original version. So, which do you guys like better: the first one, ...

... or this one?

4 ants, 2 battlepacks, NPCFs, 12 irons and 4 medium beater bars on 2 perm 80s, 5mm titanium.

Personally, I like the first one better. It had a better weapon system and was original (I think).

MrRoboto75 · « **Reply #234 on:** September 21, 2009, 09:16:25 PM »

The vertical version looks quite nice and unique. Reminds me of a windmill, only deadlier. The horizontal one has a much better weapon system, though.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #235 on:** September 22, 2009, 03:32:25 AM »

I agree the first one had an awesome look to it but the newer one looks more effective but still I admire originality higher then effectiveness :-D

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #236 on:** September 22, 2009, 05:10:43 AM »

Omg... looks very Deadly...

Naryar · « **Reply #237 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:17:07 AM »

Flails are teh ghey - also 140 kg of weapons on a HS isn't a lot.

Condor33 · « **Reply #238 on:** September 22, 2009, 04:39:48 PM »

That bot is awesome. If you could replace the odd beater bars with more flail, then it would be perfect.

The Ounce · « **Reply #239 on:** October 01, 2009, 06:47:58 PM »

I never really liked how Explosive Material's design was done, so I made my own:

3 ants, 1 battlepack, 3mm tite.

I find it rather wedgy; usually gets under Saberteeth, but it has trouble keeping the other bot on the wedge. Maybe angle the front skirts so they act like trapping sheets?
