Well, put a ragetoon on it of course :P

And better wedges. It's probably too fast to be really good, plus it does not look invertible. Honestly 2WD NPC Fast + hypnos is generally enough for any MW, or just 2WD NPC normal + Techno wheel drive if you really want it to be fast.

And with the spare space, you could allways add a storm burst motor with a couple of spikes on or somethin'...

I wouldn't. Keep it a wammer, not a poker hybrid. It's already hard enough to come up with a good wammer/poker hybrid with Hypno drive but with Techno drive, in no way you can come up with something good.

I even doubt you can really build a good MW wammer with NPC/Techno drive (Devil III failed enough), but a MW wammer/poker hybrid with NPC/Techno drive...

I made a new robot based on the bot Clickbeetle made for last BOTM.

But it`s left and right flipperarm got raised up in the air when I push the forward button. the one in the middle works perfect.

here`s a video also:

It's the weapons weight distribution, the middle points forward and leans down, the irons lean back.

Thyrus · « **Reply #245 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:17:21 PM »

that`s the 3rd modification of the two other arms. the original were the same as the one in the middle but they has the same issue like they have now.

Location of hinge maybe?
Can't you just use one?

Thyrus · « **Reply #247 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:23:43 PM »

I could. But I thought it would be more effective with 2 more. I`ll work on the hinge location a bit... tomorrow.

Naryar · « **Reply #248 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:34:53 AM »

2WD NPC Fast + Technos is faster, less battery consuming and lighter than your drive.

Might also want to put the two left and right hinges farther to the side so that your wedge covers more area.

But pretty good. I like it

Thyrus · « **Reply #249 on:** May 14, 2010, 06:42:50 AM »

I`ll make it like you said.
what do I do with the left over weight? it should be a HW for some reason... *coughthenamesaysitallcough*

and thanks Naryar.. that`s a day to remember :P

More armor? More batts ? More weapons ?

nah, I`m thinking about adding some piglets and a bit ballast.
or I do the thing with the weapons... let`s see :P

Looking good, whats the armour?

Thyrus · « **Reply #254 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:44:49 PM »

can`t remember but it`s one of the plasic armors I think.

NFX · « **Reply #255 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:50:52 PM »

Looks quite good. =) I'd use Irons instead of Spike Strips, personally, you could get better armour that way.

Thyrus · « **Reply #256 on:** July 03, 2010, 05:52:10 PM »

Thanks ^^
I made a version with irons and let those two fight each other. This one won all the matches.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #257 on:** July 04, 2010, 08:50:26 AM »

Wait, is that Ant stacked INSIDE the flail? You know better, Thy.

Thyrus · « **Reply #258 on:** July 04, 2010, 02:01:30 PM »

Have to check over that again. Made that bot some time ago.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #259 on:** July 04, 2010, 03:39:51 PM »

It looks like the flails are stacked in the control board as well.

And I'd be surprised if it doesn't Havok with such a tiny chassis. You have an extra 1.6 kgs; maybe make it a bit bigger.
