I seem to be faster than you often :P

And like I said, I don't know how power consumption works on pneumatics, and the picture above explains why it's not effective right now; I need a wedge setup that won't lift the wheels off the ground.

Either the showcase section has been rather slow lately, or I seem to have nothing better to do now.

Anyway, you know you're running out of ideas when you end up copying another person's style piece by piece:

NPCs, 5mm plastic, 2 60 kg sledgehammers on a Perm 132.

What prevents this from being an orthodox anti-gutripper is
1. The chassis is easier to hit than it looks
2. I can't armor the chassis anymore without causing problems with invertibility
3. The bot easily flips over on a charge even against an opponent without a wedge

Combine those together and you get a dead VS in less than 30 seconds >.<

Pwn's been showing off his juggler a lot lately, so I might as well show mine:

Telescopic Sight

The usual characteristics of my HWs
6 ant batteries
8 razors, 8 med. beater bars on 2 Perm 80s

Basically just took GUTD and turned it into a full juggler. This took a lot of skirt hinge work, and surprisingly no AGOD. It doesn't have the same wedge problem as my other HWs that use the same setup, thus it has really good wedges. However, I'm reluctant to call it better than Pwn's, but on the other hand...

...nah :P

bah Builders Block nothing :P you made what is one of the coolest looking jugglers imo

What your juggler has over mine:
- Protected bottom
- Stronger front armor
- Possibly better wedges

What mine has over yours:
- Self-rightable
- More damaging weapons
- Active side protection

There's no perfect juggler. But if both bots were pitted against each other, yours would probably win just because of the wedges. But I hope both of our bots can beat Nary's. :P

:O Pwn and Ounce teaming up to de-throne Naryar

As for the bot, very nice, probably couldn't to much better myself

Naryar · « **Reply #287 on:** December 08, 2009, 05:10:30 AM »

Two challengers appear ?

I appreciate the support, but I don't need to team up to kick both of their asses

Noooooooooooooooooooo.....
maybe is like karma or something, but I am in the middle of making that wedged poker, with a defence style of a juggler....

The Ounce · « **Reply #293 on:** December 10, 2009, 08:08:56 PM »

Too bad that mine is not very combat effective, as it turns out (mostly because of those stupid wedges

).

And Pwn and I vs Naryar doesn't sound like a bad idea, and it would probably boost Nary's confidence.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #294 on:** December 10, 2009, 08:13:33 PM »

well if you want to lay down the challenge I can host if for you as a bit of practice since CC3 will start within the week
