I should probably angle the extenders, i guess i'll do that later on :P

And it was a bit of an experiment to see if it was partially effective, if i (or anyone else :P *coughmartycough*) were to build a HW version then i would try to fix those problems. I just didn't want it's defenses to suck hard, which is a little hard without making it overly weak/slow i admit.

ok i made it a HW, added a ramming rack, top hammer and some stuff to the wedge.

shame the wedges kinda sucks, otherwise it would do pretty well.
BSG's so i save weight and they are powerful enough to KO opponents pretty quickly.

Not much advice to give, really. What armour?

martymidget · « **Reply #683 on:** December 01, 2011, 02:21:49 PM »

I woud remove the top hammer altogether, strengthen the wamming rack and make it invertible. But thats just me :P

ty4er · « **Reply #684 on:** December 01, 2011, 02:56:44 PM »

Plastic 3.

And i shall keep the top hammer for this bot just incase it does get under anything as that hammer can be rather dangerous to unprotected tops :P

I'm really not sure about the beater bars on the wedge. I'd swap them for a couple more razors somewhere.

As a concept, though, I think this bot is fantastic. I'd probably put you in my top 10 builders on the forum. =)

It was a bit of an idea to get damage from all sides (except rear, inb4buttrape :P), it could use a bit of tweaking (e.g. SORTING OUT THAT DAMN WEDGE, which is pretty easy)

And thanks

Pity only 2/3 of it was your idea ty ;p

Interesting. Looks a bit fragile to me, but it must be the fact that it's simply very skinny.

MassimoV · « **Reply #689 on:** December 01, 2011, 04:11:15 PM »

Looks great. Do you need the beater bars on the wdge?

Naryar · « **Reply #690 on:** December 01, 2011, 05:12:40 PM »

No he doesn't. Maybe he's just using them as ballast, minor protection and slightly damaging weapons.

wait BALLAST *goes berserk*

I lol'd

lawl it was meant to ~~be a ballast~~ help the wedge, damage and protect, didn't work :P
anyway i have 4 new bots (ok one is just one updated version of that hw)

Top left: BW version of Reactivity, works pretty well i'd imagine (havent been able to test it properly D:). going to TX soon.
Top right: Another BW going to TX. Had many failed versions until i was happy enough with this, still not too happy infact. It should be self-explanatory.
Bottom left: IRL flipper that would've gone into bb5 if bully didnt do so well :P 5 ants and judge burst motor (srry naryar). I didn't want to be left out so i put some weapons on

Bottom right: Updated HW. Now has a tail which keeps the wedge down and thus the bot works properly :D

Gazea2 · « **Reply #693 on:** December 04, 2011, 07:46:02 AM »

Really like the look of the BWs and the IRL flipper. How is the wedge on the HW now?

ty4er · « **Reply #694 on:** December 04, 2011, 02:13:23 PM »

wow you guys must hate the splash or something :P

The wedge is... untested :P
I can tell it will be far better than the earlier version however.

NFX · « **Reply #695 on:** December 04, 2011, 02:17:29 PM »

It's just a bit difficult to make out the details of the bots like that.

I think the IRL Flipper looks a bit too wide for some reason. BW's look pretty good, though, how does the spinner do whe it's inverted?

ty4er · « **Reply #696 on:** December 04, 2011, 02:26:31 PM »

Oh okay, wont be doing that again then :P

I'll try and get another picture of the flipper, it isn't actually that wide IMO.
The spinner works pretty much exactly the same when it's inverted, provided the chassis doesn't get in the way (it occasionly does iirc, shouldn't be a problem)

They both LOVE wedges, shame there might not be that many D:

ty4er · « **Reply #697 on:** December 23, 2011, 12:36:03 PM »

big post ahead:
been building some failbots recently :c

It's a hammer which was build partially for teh lulz, has a lot of armour, 4 ants, plastic 3/5 and ignore the wheel, it drives completely straight.
it's about 10kg underweight...
oh and it havoks into next tuesday after a few swings:

this fail lw rammer:

It's not as bad as the other one but for some reason it never does any damage and ALWAYS manages to flip itself over somehow. Oh and the shell panels make it pretty weak if they get the right spot and the chassis is always destroyed in a match (in 123ai anyway). It's still pretty fast though.
aaaand this sort of classic style hs:

It fails mostly because of a perm 80 and hardly able to get a ko, good at box rushing though :P
I focused on endurance rather than power and got a bit carried away i guess. and 3 ants doesn't really help that fact.
However, if i have no inspiration for a few more bots (mostly MW's, dear god give me some inspiration PLEEEASE) you may be seeing this later on if all works out

NFX · « **Reply #698 on:** December 23, 2011, 12:50:31 PM »

LW is scoring no points because the weapons on the ground. You should find a way around that.
Spinner looks nice and retro. I like. Even though it's comparatively fail. =D
Hammer is an interesting design. What does the Hammer Head intersect?

Hammer is an interesting design. What does the Hammer Head intersect? i think it's only part of the belt and motor, i was aiming for an anchor shaped weight but couldn't find any, that was the closest for size i guess, i might try something like extender and a few tornado spikes on.
