Another bot. Really rather happy with this one. It was in no way inspired by a certain multi-time Robot Wars semi finalist... honest.

Wedge is mostly steel with the upper part where nothing can really hit being aluminium to save weight. Underside is Titanium and rear is a combination of titanium and aluminium. Weapon has 4X large typhoon teeth and is driven by a Tornado Mer motor. Drive is 2X TWMR2 Drives so it's plenty nippy. 796.6 KG. Pics below:

Exterior:


Interior (The insides of this bot are a ****ing nightmare. Had to take the top panel and disc off to show the insides at all, so apologies for the poor picture):


Any feedback is more than welcome!

actually reminds me of the Surgeon General as well, if only because i think with a little tinkering it could have a similar setup. I'd potentially try and have the disks themselves less flush to the wedge, either via small disk (i think that's the right terminology but i haven't played this game since 2015 and even then it was mostly 2.1) or perhaps a drum, since that'd look slightly neater, closer to Wild Thing, and more realistic imo.

Thanks! It was actually somewhat based off Wild Thing, though the disc is a bit more effective.

I actually tried raising the disc a little with a small disc but the small disc seemed a bit too thick and made it look odd. Anything thinner that I can use?

Another new bot. A rather messy flipper extenderbot. I spent ages trying to get the panels to line up fully but I just couldn't manage it. I don't know how Tashic manages it. Here it is though. 2X Wide Medium VDMAs for the flipper so its pretty powerful. Chassis is mostly titanium, though the main front panel is steel and the rear is aluminium. 4 wheel drive slimbodies as it was all that would fit and give it reasonable speed, and even with them the wheels stick out slightly (These are the smallest ones that would make contact with the ground).

Pics:

Exterior:


Interior (Viewed from below with the bottom removed, as removing the top would require disassembly of the whole bot):


I'm reasonably happy with how it came out despite the messiness, though if you have any suggestions on what can be done to improve it I'd be grateful.

Thanks! It originally looked a lot more like Rapid (Was shorter and didn't have a sloped back) but that had to be abandoned in order to actually fit everything inside.

  • 2X TWMR2 Drive
  • 1x Beta burst motor powered flipper with 2X 40KG Counterweights
  • All aluminium construction

Feedback is welcome. Also, can anyone tell me if counterweights actually make a difference on burst motors? I'm not entirely sure.

I agree to be honest. Tried to fix it here by putting a kink in the flipper and adding a couple of pieces out the front (Which also serve to prevent the bot from tipping forward when flipping.) Still extends out the front a bit but less obnoxiously than before hopefully.
