Use RA2CF to get past it. :)
I've managed to remove a few components so that I can put something on the Hex Plate without using RA2CF. The issue now is that nothing will physically fit in the gap where the hex plate is.

Right, this one really IS my second Annihilation Nation entry. Witch doctor / Brutus style VS MW. Perm 80 powers a mini minion disc for weaponary, while drive is 2X NPC fasts for plenty of power. Front armour is titanium while everything else is aluminium or polycarb. Disc doesn't have as much power as I'd like, but there's not much I can do about that. Pics below:

Thanks for the feedback! Apologies about the name. Wouldn't have named it that if I knew someone had used the name already.

Flipper Version:

Internals:


The axe/flipper is supposed to look like a garden fork, and the bot is based off of Alan Titchmarsh's show "Ground Force" from the late 90s / early 2000s. Why I decided to build a bot based off a 20 year old gardening show I have no idea.

After that memery here's a more sensible bot. A rebuild of Ovid. Entire frontal construction except for the flippers is Steel, rest is Titanium. Wheels are now fully enclosed and the flipper now has angled edge pieces to give it a 'spinner killer'-esque wedge.

Internals (minus top plate as per usual):

Three bots for you today. Two lightweights and another remake of the first bot I ever submitted. First the lightweights:

This is a new version of Zanzibar which I submitted to Redditbots for the new LW competition. I wanted to withdraw it and replace it with the second lightweight in this post when I saw how many spinners were being entered, but unfortunately he wouldn't allow resubmissions. So here's a generic ass VS. 1X TWM3R for weapo power, 2X Slimbodies for drive. Pics below:

Exterior:


Interior:


Now the second lightweight.Sundown. It's another front hinge flipper, and is essentially a lightweight version of Bocuma, but this time designed with Bocuma II's design in mind rather than the original like with the previous lightweight front-hinger I posted a while back. This was built to replace Zanzibar in Redditbots due to the high number of spinners, but got turned away. 1X Storm front hinge burst for the weapon, and 2X slimbodies for drive.

Exterior:


Interior:


And finally the heavyweight. This marks the seventh version of Tommib, and the very first fully IRL version. Blade no longer clips the motors, and there's no intersecting parts. It's also been rebuilt using DSCs IRL packs, and has been given a srimech arm again as I wasn't happy with the speed or reliability of self righting just using the disc.

Exterior:


Interior (Minus Top Armour):


(The disc just clears the batteries, though this image makes it look like it'll clip with them because of the angle. Honest  :P)

why did your flipper get rejected? it looks fine to me

zanzibar's pretty unique for a lw vs, reminds me of a beetle with that shape

the hw is also looking solid

Flipper was rejected as I'd already entered with the VS. I tried to replace the VS with the flipper when I saw how many other spinners were being entered, but he doesn't accept replacement bots unless there's a glitch or something with the first bot you sent. Kinda sucks but oh well. At least I tried to replace it.

Cheers for the feedback.

I gone and done made a thing. HW VS called Spartan. 1X Perm-132 for weaponary, and 2X NPC fasts for drive. Front wedges are all steel. Srimech is powered by a very small VDMA burst. Pics below:

I really dig the wedge panels, the beaters aren't working for me.

I agree. The beater bars are there for function rather than aesthetics sadly. It has real trouble hitting stuff without them. Any suggestions as to a better looking solution?

I would usually recommend small typhoon teeth, but they will collide with the ground... Will they?

Yeah they collide with the ground. They were the first thing I tried.

Continuing with my theme of making bots based off of completely retarded concepts, here's a bot which is themed after the Curly Wurly chocolate bar. Designed to be a combination lifter/ spinner / thwack. It's a MW and the lifter is powered by an extra small VDMA burst, so it's pretty underpowered. Spinner is a perm 80. Pics below:

It's only after looking at that last robot that it occurs to me how to properly use NPCs. ...I'm slow.


Anyway, just out of curiosity, is the unused space just for the outside's aesthetics? thinking on it probably but you never know
If it can have a spinner, put one on there.

The way to make this the most competitive is to get rid of the flipper entirely and make it into another tombclone - although I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that. :P

Please post the weight and armour used with your bots, it makes it very hard to recommend upgrades without them.
