I didn’t know it was possible to make something so great to be so light
Something something I haven't really done anything notable to mention

I was really surprised that I actually managed to get it in weight given that it has the same flipper power and isn't all that much smaller than the HW version, but lo and behold I managed it

It looks good. I think you should put screenshots showing it with the flipper extended
Guess who's back

I added a hinged wedge so it should be fairly decent

Made various small updates to some older bots to fix some niggling issues I had with them.

First up is Anguish. This one has seen probably the most major changes of the 3 bots. First off I added a srimech now which should hopefully make it slightly more combat viable (as much as a vert with a single small typhoon tooth can be combat viable), and I also redesigned the disc completely to hopefully be less havok-inducing. This one now uses 2 sandwiched medium 2 discs with a couple of extenders and counterweights inside to balance it. The disc is physically larger than the old one and it's debatable if it looks better or not, but it uses like a third of the components of the old one as well as avoiding 10 degree angle extenders which supposedly contribute towards havoks and crashes, so that should be a good thing.

Next is Astra. I mentioned in the "which bot are you most proud of" thread that this was the build I was most proud of, but despite that I've always had a few small issues with it which I finally took the time to fix. The first of those is the wheels. The way they always clipped through the body unsupported always bothered me, so I added these little wheel guard/support things which, IMO, look great and add a lot to the bot. The other issue I had was the panel gap between the front triangles and the sloped sides. I honestly have no ideas why I left that gap there initially as it's a super easy fix, makes the bot look a lot cleaner and really there's no excuse for me not to have added it given that Astra is an SHW where weight really isn't an issue. The result is now definitely worthy of being the bot I'm most proud of, in my opinion.

And finally Sabre IV. I know full well that I can't stop banging on about Sabre and the many iterations of it and bots based off it that I've made, but it's my personal favourite bot I've ever built and every time I can't think of something new to build I come back to it to have a tinker. This is no exception. Spurred on by the ban of skirts in Brothers in Arms, combined with the fact that I've always thought that the Skirt wedge on Sabre was maybe pushing the limits of my own strict definitions of IRL a bit too far, I finally decided to have a crack at a non-skirt wedge solution for Sabre. This is the result. I think it looks a whole lot cleaner to be honest, and from testing the wedging ability seems similar to the old skirt wedge, so I think it's a win-win really. I'm eager to know you guys' thoughts on it though.

Anguish and Astra 10/10
Sabre 11/10 but mainly as I don't consider the skirt wedge as IRL either

Thanks man!  :heart_smiley:

The new wedge on Sabre is a definite improvement. More realistic and looks better too I'd say. Blends in a lot better with the rest of the design.

nice look to them. esp the VS.
Thanks! The VS obviously isn't gonna be very competitive but I'm pleased with how  it came out looks wise and then new disc is definitely a big improvement in that it might not make hosts want to tear their hair out so much I feel.

looking cool is all an irl bot needs to do. think you did a good job in that dept

may look better without the antennas imho but it's not a big deal. your call.

Here's a thing. No actual clue what it's meant to be really. Perm 132 for the weapon, dual TWMR2s for drive. Twin slow mags for the srimechs

Thanks guys!

Here's another one. Speed Demon is probably one of my most successful bots but I still have ideas how to improve it. This is the result of those ideas: Speed Demon V.

Compared to the previous version it's upgraded in just about every aspect. Drive has increased from dual TWMR2s to dual NPC fasts, the weapon motor can no longer fall off incredibly easily, angled armour pieces have been added around the weapon axle to deflect HS hits, and a quicker, more reliable srimech powered by a Vsmall VDMA has been added.

Weapon motor is a perm 132, drive is 2 NPC fasts, srimech is powered by a Vsmall VDMA. Weight is 799.7KG

Tfw speed demon has gotten slower as it's evolved.

But for real it looks much more durable than before and I love the supports you've done using the angle pieces and I love me some wedgelets. Sick work dude as per usual
