Well since signups are open now I might as well post my Orc's Wars Overclocked lineup here. Not including what events they're in so folks can't enter stuff specifically to counter them  :dance:

They've all been posted in here before but I'll give each bot a quick rundown for those that may have missed them.

Ey, looking great, personally I'd say Dambuster is the weakest of the lot, due to it's lack of KO'ing capabilities compared to the others, but it's probably one of the better looking ones imo.

Also you got a shot of Cicada firing?

How can it be speed demon if theres no speed?  :really_makes_you_think:

In terms of fighting Dambuster and maybe Resolute are probably the weakest yeah.

Here's a sh**ty pic of Cicada firing. The fact it works at all surprises me so I'm willing to overlook how godawful it looks when flipping  :dance:

 
Cicada Firing.png


The Speed Demon name was mostly from the fact that it uses the martini racing colour scheme on the chassis. The fast drive of the old one was part of it, buit it just caused too many issues with the bot flipping itself and sucked up weight that could have been used on features that are actually beneficial like a srimech and better armour.

Ah sweet, didn't realise it uses hexplates for supports.

Yeah the hexplates were the only component thin enough to mount the top burst of the 4 bar that didn't have atrocious APs. Would have used a less ugly component if I could.

Knockout stands out as the coolest to me, I like how you didn't use a mecha or typhoon teeth, extra bonus points for that

The 259 flywheel just happened to fit pretty much perfectly in the gap that there was for the disc. It's an underrated component I'd say. One of the cooler looking rep discs and surprisingly effective too.

Yeah I agree, I stopped using it in 2.1 as it seemed to break ridiculously easily but hopefully that's changed now

Tonight on extenderspam nightmares: A bot that was intended as an HW but ended up becoming an SHW...

Had this design in mind for a flipper and managed to execute it pretty much exactly how I envisioned it, however it's ended up being A: Absolutely ridiculous in terms of number of extenders used and B: 50% heavier than I wanted it to be.

Other than those two factors I'm really happy with how it came out. Weapon is powered by 2 medium VDMAs which is almost certainly not enough for an SHW, and the armour is almost all Alu other than a little pit of steel on the front. Drive is 2 NPC fasts along with 2 TWMR drives so it's not fast but not slow either.

Looks pretty good to me, I love the front wedglets. The wheels poking out looks a bit odd to me though, any way you could tuck them in?

I'd originally planned to have doubled up wheels so they were fully exposed, but weight rapidly became an issue with this bot so they had to go unfortunately, leaving the wheels in the state they are now

Here's a thing. HW flipper boik. TWMR2s for drive, 2 Med VDMAs for the flipper and a mix of Alu and Steel for armour.

Does pretty well surprisingly. Better than the regular config if anything.

I meant both configurations, although I don't see the first config getting under much at all.

It looks like a Minecraft mob.  I was surprised to click back a page and find out it was called Ridgeback and not Enderbot or something.
