Here's a vert design I've wanted to do for a bit now. Had been interested in doing a plough setup like this since I saw someone make a DSL-S bot with a similar setup fairly recently, and thought it looked interesting so I figured I'd try to transplant that design to an IRL bot. Weapon motor is a perm 132 and drive is 2 NPC regulars. Ploughs are mediums while everything else is Alu as weight was a big issue here. Backlash disc probably gets 0 bite but it looks pretty decent and is fairly light so that's what I went with. No srimech either and I hightly doubt it can aftershock its way back onto it's wheels but I guess we'll see.

That's definitely one of the more unique VSs I've seen in a while.  I for one like it.
I have several opinions.

Unique was the goal for the most part so I'm glad I at least somewhat accomplished it

Here's a little cruiserweight vert thingy. Dual perm 80s for the discs, TWMRs for the drive so it's not the fastest bot in the world. Steel front wedge, everything else Alu. Somewhat based off the featherweight "Argh!" from Robot Wars Extreme 2 but I made pretty extensive changes to the design. May go to a single flywheel at some point just because I think it might look better, but I'm interested to hear what you guys think on that front.

Here it is with a single disc for comparison's sake. Obviously less powerful but IMO better looking. Also allowed me to add some wedgelets and make some parts look cleaner

I really like Thyco, but in my opinion the dual discs look better.

Still ****ing about with this thing. Made an HW version with a perm 132 instead of an 80 and 4 wheel drive (2 TWMRS and 2 astros so it's hardly greased lighting but it's faster than the CW despite being 200KG heavier. Disc is a mini minion and it also has a srimech now. 2 black batts for power. Internals are ridiculously tight but I managed to get it all to fit eventually ( ;))

That disc looks great, amazing how just a black disc can make a Minion disc look so different! Love the backpack thing as well.
TY man! The backpack thing sorta arose out of necessity with how much the perm stuck out but I think it came out looking alright. Glad you like it too!

Here's a superheavyweight rammer/lifter thing. 6WD with 4 slimbodies and 2 TWMR2s. Front and back are all steel, top is Ti, the rest is Alu. Flipper is powered by 2 medium VDMAs and the srimech is powered by a short.

Made some changes as a result of the thundering response that this recieved. Reprofiled the front end a bit to deflect spinners better with some additional steel sections. Also did some work on the top "horn" bits, and also swapped the srimech burst to a medium as a small didn't have enough oomph to reliably self right an SHW

It’s even sexier now wtf

Love the color scheme and the front is gorgeous
Thanks for the feedback my man :heart_smiley:

I'm pretty happy with how it's come out myself. Might have to try and replicate this design a bit in a lower weightclass where I can get some more use out of it.

This is probably gonna get buried to sh** with all the discussion about 2.3 going on ATM but hey ho. Here's an extremely underweight (-720KG) HW flipper thing. Dual NPC fast drive and 2 small VDMAs for the flipper. Armour is Ti for the tip of the flipper, Steel for the side triangle pieces and Alu everywhere else. May try to drop it to a CW at some point but for now I'm fairly happy with it looks wise.

I'm a sucker for flippers with angled armor pieces  :heart_smiley:

Sexy internals as well, I'm loving this whole build! Happy 100th post by the way,  :dumb)

Love the triangle bits. how good is that flipper though?

Thanks for the lovely feedback guys  :heart_smiley:

The flipper is surprisingly alright. It's not gonna be roofing stuff by any means but it has no trouble fliping other heavyweights at all.

I've also done a CW version with a front hinged flipper instead of a rear hinge. Had a tinker with getting a rear hinge config into the CW limit but it didn't work out. This looks slightly less nice but I still think it looks pretty good and it's safely in the CW limit which I'm happy about. Front wedge is now steel, but the side triangles have been dropped down to Alu to make weight. Also switched to NPC regulars but the 200KG decrease in weight means it's basically the same speed wise as the HW version.
