Wheels look like Hypnos from the collision mesh.

Not axle, and it's NPC FAST.

That bot looks awesome from that angle, but a few more angles would help as well.  I had to think for a bit to figure out what it was.


You're already very pressed for weight, so the only way you'll get a wedge on there is to sacrifice drive, which means you'll stand no chance against spinners.  If you do add a wedge you'll have to drop down to Astroflights (Slims will only save 10 kgs).  Then use a metal hinge with a long skirt on it.  Depending on what material the wedge is, you may have weight to strengthen the side skirts (which need strengthening).


And 8 light teeth should be enough for gut-ripping purposes.  It looks like the side skirts could help scoop bots on top of the weapon.

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Two piglets pointing straight up+Lightweight=Bouncy wedges, so scrapped that, made this:



Armour is Plastic 3? (The 2nd lowest)

Use hex plates instead, make the chassis smaller, drop the armour to plastic 3, add more razors.

Unless he sacrifices a whole lot, odds are he will not be able to add four more razors.

Drop the plastic 3 armour to plastic 3  :confused:
The main problem I see here is the exposed astros which can get destroyed VERY quickly.
TBH though, I preffered your previous bot more.

It doesn't look terribly bad. I might actually try Hexplates with three razors on the edges and one on top or something like that. You could upgrade the weak poly extenders at the back, I reckon they might be very suspect. Maybe shorten the extenders holding the piglets on, and upgrade the armour a little bit. Tiny Plastic 3 chassis like that probably isn't going to last too long.

FOTEPX, enough with the bad advice already !

Interesting design, but this needs more speed. You should get lighter extender work, notably by not using overly long Alu extenders and maybe shortening the wedge as well.

Why put a razor on top of the hex? It wouldn't realy come in as usefull as the extra armour for example that he could get with that 14kg.
But yeah, everything else is spot on, infact if you do bring the weapons further back, it may help defend those wheels aswell.

Yeah, I guess not. I just wanted to keep the 8 razors on there somehow with something other than the heavy drum component or a disc. 6 razors seems quite low for a LW now, I think.
