I thought I left a comment, guess not, really nice design and you've set it up really well, though I don't know which teeth I prefer, naturally the beaters will do more damage but the matilda teeth look much better.
The tooth change was also driven by the fact that they hit the floor after I adjusted the supports to prevent the bot front flipping when it hit stuff unfortunately.

Thanks for the feedback though

Looks good. I always liked the shape of that robot wars s4 bot, Scar, that got trashed by Firestorm. Nice build.

It is two discs with a drum attached in the middle, and the drum having four beaters (I think, correct me if I'm wrong though)

Close. The beaters are actually attached to the inside APs of the discs though

Here's a new one. This was supposed to be a CW but it rapidly gained weight and so in the end I actually had trouble getting it into the HW limit let alone the CW one (It weighs 798.9KG). Drive is provided by 6 slimbodies, while the front snowploughs act as a flipper, powered by 2 medium VDMA R/Ps. Construction is mostly aluminium, save for the polycarb panels on the top and the rear wedge which is steel.

that plow is just adorable I love it, it's also nice to see you do MW builds too, I think I preferred it with the white sides but that's just me

Thanks man! Was originally intended to be my CW entry for OWO but that didn't pan out. Will have to come up with something else for that

Niiice, I like the use of that plow, Its like killertron and behemoth had a child.
The plough was basically the main driving force for making this bot so I'm glad it came out okay

that plow is just adorable I love it, it's also nice to see you do MW builds too, I think I preferred it with the white sides but that's just me
The sides on the first version weren't actually white, that was just the light bouncing off due to the angle of the first screenshot. Thanks though!

And here is a CW version of it for the OWO CW division. Very happy with how it looks actually. Dropped to 4WD slimbodies from 6WD, and down to very small VDMAs from mediums but other than that it's largely the same. Battery life may well be an issue on this version though as it only has one of the big tall black batts for power. 599.6KG

Another one. This was originally supposed to be an SHW but in a pretty new problem for me I just wasn't able to get it up to weight so it came out as a slightly underweight HW instead. 4WD flipper which I'm pretty happy with looks wise. Drive is 2 TWMR2s and 2 Astros so it's pretty zippy, and weapon power is 2 medium VDMAs. Weight is 749.2KG overall

The small front wheels and the wedge ends overlapping the wedge itself looks a bit weird.

Cleaned it up a tad, though I've kept the front wheels because I think it would look really generic without them

Aaaaand here's another. This one's my SHW for the next Orc's Wars I think and my feelings about it are very much mixed. The name I think is a nice descriptor of the bot itself  :dance:.

My goal with this one was to do something that wasn't a vert or a flipper since most of the rest of my lineup is one of those, so this is what I came up with. I was also insistent on having a dual perm for the weapon motor once I'd decided on an HS, so I went for an S5 wild thing style design. Drive is dual NPC fasts but the tyres have ridiculous grip so it's actually not that slow, and the weapon is powered by a dual perm as mentioned. Srimech is a medium VDMA and the armour is pretty ridiculous with the sides of the wedge having 2 layers of steel plates, plus steel angle corners on top of that to deflect other HSes. How it'll perform is yet to be seen.

I think it looks cool man, I think a disc would suit the shape better than a bar but that might just be personal opinion

Thanks! I went for a bar because I felt that if I went to a disc it would feel like too much of a clone of S5 Wild Thing for me.

So I'd been wanting to build something mental and/or stupid for a bit, and last night I had the idea for a 4 bar flipper where at least 1 of the bursts was a beta. This is the result. It's somewhat ugly, and doesn't hold a candle to a conventional 4 bar like Azimuth, but it works and I'm pretty happy with that. When it actually gets under stuff fully (which is pretty rare due to the fairly steep wedge necessitated by the Beta motor's height) it flips really well. I may up the drive at some point from the dual TYWMR2s I have at the moment to try to assist in getting fully under opponents.

I wasn't able to have both bursts be betas unfortunately so the top burst is a wide medium VDMA. This causes 1 other issue as VDMA bursts retract a lot quicker than the beta, which sometimes leads to the bot flipping itself, but after a lot of fine tuning it's now fairly rare.

By most standards it's a pretty ugly bot, but for something with a giant ass beta burst crammed into it I don't think it looks TOO bad. My only personal niggle with it is the hexplates which were the only thing both thin enough and with non-awful APs that would work so I was forced to use them. At least I managed to get them symmetrical though.

Fair play for pulling this off and IMO it doesn't look that ugly
