I have no idea why you would build that (unless there were another Not Quite Replica Wars coming up)... but the handle needs to be on a piston.

"For the lulz" is an applicable reason, right? XD

Someone confused NQRW with ORAD

Whups. You know what I'm talking about though. The one where you build replicas of random objects that aren't robots.

Well I'm back after 4 days (hols) so of course I made some bots (A total of 5)
Anyho here are two bots of that total:

Infestation:

I believe the armour is Al or Tita 5 but I'll have to jog my memory

And Infectious:

Now this has Tita 5

, but it is quite slow

Now questions you can answer:

What improvements can be made?

Would you like to see insides?

What are your thoughts?

I just tried standard

But I'm S***

Plastic 3, powered by 4 ants,

It's just painful to look at

Thoughts?

Not even nearly enough weaponry. Use 1 perm and a disc rather than a drum would be my advice. Also, the NPCs will attach directly to chassis but still mainly be outside, try it to save some weight.

yeah that's some pretty horrendous extender work. Try to clean it up a bit, especially the flippers (angle extenders are fragile af)

Natster-104 · « **Reply #112 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:30:24 AM »

I think a different skin can make the world of difference

Looks a bit better to me now, want to do something about the wheelguards/extenders because they won't last long

Thoughts?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #113 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:49:16 AM »

Or perhaps wheelguard option 2 is to your liking?

Pick your fave
Edit: And I'm not gonna enter that SHW, its just crap and slow

Shield · « **Reply #114 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:52:33 AM »

i'd go with option 2, it's messy but it looks better

also the skirt hinge is sticking out

besides that, functionally the bot is okay, what motor does it use?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:57:14 AM »

Flipper motor: beta burst
Drive: 4 NPC's

I also forgot to post the back of it, but it doesn't matter it just has a back flipper maker plate sort of thing

DId you use the Spring loaded one or geared?

Natster-104 · « **Reply #117 on:** April 21, 2014, 09:50:35 AM »

Spring loaded

Lemonism · « **Reply #118 on:** April 21, 2014, 10:31:12 AM »

I too prefer option 2.
I think that would look much cooler with a scrapyard/junk themed skin, but that's personal preference.
Also personal preference, but i don't really like the non-matching front wheels.
If you want to keep them for the speed increase then go for it, but I think it would look so much better without.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #119 on:** April 21, 2014, 10:35:48 AM »

Its for a speed increase, without it it won't get under things quite well + won't be better at pushing
