whut.
Not sure that would work while keeping it realistic.
Anyways i did it  :gawe:

Downgraded the drive but HS's dont really need great drive IIRC
Still don't like it...

DP: Made a few changes to Angler aswell (for those who remember it :P)

+ More frontal protection
+ Easier to hit weapons
+ Angled weapons more

Still needs a wedge but oh well :P

No liking that rear extender work.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

On the HS, you can attach the drive to the sides of the flipper segment stabilizer, then eliminate those extenders and save 12 kgs.  :mrgreen:


What Pwnator means with the beater bars is that the flipper segments on the weapon are a weak link.  All it takes is 1000 damage to that spot (which isn't hard to hit) and there goes your 6000 HP weapon.  You can use beater bars as extenders and do some clever rotating to get the weapons angled.  The beater bars will still be a weak link but they'll at least have much more HP and will do some damage too.

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

Well the HS was a failed attempt anyway but atleast it served it's purpose (sorta).
perhaps try and get hammers on there, there's a challenge for you ;P
Challenge = won.
Anyway as i said i shall show you the finished version of angler:

I was just aiming for looks/creativity instead of complete killingness :P
Now has a proper wedge and can run inverted and self-right (mostly).
But the ford wheels are there cuz i felt like it, i was trying to be original and most of the other wheels weren't big enough, too big or had the wrong grip (too much and it wouldn't move without mauler dancing).
Plus i'm about to finish an (underweight) AW CageSpinner.
Guess who i got that from.

But i may change them to something else later on.

Then change the setup so technos are big enough

And as long as you use normal NPCs, technos won't be too grippy

Wedge is absolutely useless on such a design. Really.

...fine
But with that weapon/speed it is bound to mauler dance to death (it already does it a bit).

Wedge is absolutely useless on such a design. Really.
Ehh, i was aiming for a type of FS/TS with the wedge.

Infact i may aswell scrap it :P
More proof i don't like HW's (or atleast i cannot build them).
Anyway here is the underweight AW :D

Currently has copal drive.
If i upgrade the drive it will havok and im in a bit of a block as of what else to put on :P
Oh and the armour's plastic 1.

Can't you upgrade the armour?

If not then just add wide ant wheels instead

I was wondering if there was anything else.
And for some reason it only likes the small ant wheels on copals otherwise it shall havok (maybe to do with the mesh?).
Very annoying indeed.

Sorry 'bout the DP but think about it...
= Urjak's
= Mine's
Now mine is a bit more havoky and perhaps doesn't have as much controlled movement but they have the same drive, armour and whatnot.
I sense favouritism here ;_;

Yes, and while that's because, as you said, his was generally more well built than your bot, the main reason will be because you kloned.
You copied the design, he originally came up with it, so ofcourse his bot is going to get more respect from the community.

I think yours needs the larger chassis, to protect against Havok bombs.

I'm not talking about respect.
You were asking me to improve it, yet nobody asked for him to improve his.

Seems mostly alright at the moment, but i shall look into it.
