New one. This actually started as a vert but at some point I decided it would work better as a hammer, so that's what I did in the end. 1 frenzy hammer powered by a medium VDMA so should hit decently. I need to add a couple more batts, which I have spare weight for, but I can't be bothered taking this thing apart right now. There's been some discussion about the plough on the front in the discord, and I was considering skinning it as I built the thing, but that will depend on how hellish the mesh for it is. Some people said it looks good as-is though so swings and roundabouts innit.

you still continue to amaze me in how your bots are so good with such limited tools

High effort skin on the scoop. Wanted to do something more complex but was having a nightmare. IK the wedgelets don't look great with how they go further up than the orange line, but believe me I spent the best part of 2 hours trying to find a better solution to no avail

Honestly I might prefer it unskinned, the lack of texture on the plow is a tad offputting to me. Maybe overlay the current texture on top of the original at like 70% opacity or something?

what if you made it so that the wedges were in line with the weapon support, and maybe do orange stripes to line them up?

Done. I have the unskinned version as a backup I can revert to if this doesn't look any good, but I think it looks pretty decent.

Everyone else is posting their WWRA2 bots so **** it I might as well too. This is Adrenaline. Goal was to do a rear hinge with an interesting shape to it while being reasonably effective, which I hope I achieved. Drive is 2 NPC fasts and weapon is 2 Med VDMAs

I also decided to renovate this old thing for some reason. Made it less crashy, gave it a frenzy hammer and gave it some nice angled armour bits around the beta motor

Oh, and I also made some changes to Adrenaline. Cleaned up the flipper setup and also lightened it a ton so it flips better, and swapped to wedgelets instead of a panel wedge. No matter what I did with the panel wedge it just couldn't get under anything despite my success with them on other bot types, so I made the change

Haven't built a drum in yonks so here's one. Etek for the drum and 2 NPC fast drive. It's a fair bit underweight ATM but I'm largely happy with it.

Edit:

Edited the supports because it was tipping forwards on hits with the old ones, and altered the drum setup because people didn't like the axle extenders.

Haven't checked the showcases in a while but I didn't expect anything not good looking in this one. You never seem to disappoint :)

Probably the last in the line of weird ass nondescript amphibian themed clamps I've built over the past 3 years. Dual TWMR2 drive so not particularly quick, small VDMA for the clamp and a Vsmall VDMA for the srimech. I wonder if this thing will be appearing in any tournaments in the near future

Not just eyes, it ALSO has a head and upper mouth, practically a face. THAT'S personality. It was even built out of components rather than just plastered on as a skin.

A third version of Zealot. Big changes. Overall smaller and cleaner. Where the old one was the size of the international space station this one is a more reasonable size. Drum is now powered by a hubmotor etek rather than the ugly dual perm 80s of the old one. Also uses beaters now instead of typhoons. New wedge setup too that's gonna be really sh**ty at wedging but looks infinitely better than when I tried to give it wedgelets, and lastly a lil panel skin at the back. Pretty happy with it I think it's a big improvement over the old one.

As you can see, there is a distinct difference between Spicy and very spicy.

But seriously at this point it almost comes off as spam.
