Thanks Hercules. I think I'm getting the hang of how you guys build bots here, going through all the tips was a big help.

Get the batteries right you've got yourself a damn nice-looking IRL flipper.

Am I the only one to grimace at the really slow turning speed?

No. Your drive are waaaaaaaaaaay too close together. Space them out a lot more. That and more power and youve got a nice IRL bot.

Also, use the blue controlboard if you have the space cause its lighter

yeah rotate the motors so the wheels face outwards. Besides that it looks really nice.

Thanks for the advice guys. New robot:

U3: VCR Vengeance.

H: .245001
W: 698.2
Independent 3 way fire control, flip proof and duel controls. I'm just saying words now.
An attempt at a poker, quite happy with it. For some reason it sounds like something out of BSG which isn't a bad thing.

why does the 3rd pic show it with pole spikes while the other show it with irons?

Unreal · « **Reply #48 on:** February 29, 2012, 02:57:19 PM »

Thats the first version.

It's better with Irons and no Skirt Hinges. Opponents aren't going to get to the skirts anyway. I think the shape is really good, personally. I think a spike weapon that extended one end and retracted the other, similar to the Terrorhurtz axe might work quite well for this bot.

And plastic sheets.

You wouldn't mind if I borrowed the chassis to this, would you? I've envisioned a design for it.

Help yourself. No problemos

MassimoV · « **Reply #53 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:18:39 PM »

Keep the irons. It looks cooler. It reminds me of H-Bloc by DSC.

Unreal · « **Reply #54 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:36:27 PM »

The one with the irons was the version I used. Does OK, but doesn't do alot of damage, but get points.

SKBT · « **Reply #55 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:44:05 PM »

Nice dude. You've got a cool build style.

Unreal · « **Reply #56 on:** February 29, 2012, 04:48:37 PM »

Thanks SKBT. I just want to ask anyone who knows, does the AI have a handicap with regard to damage? I'm just wondering as although the spikes get points I can play 5 min matches against some bots, continuously spiking away and do no armour damage at all. What's going on with that?

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #57 on:** February 29, 2012, 05:49:44 PM »

The AI has double strength armor for some reason.

Unreal · « **Reply #58 on:** March 01, 2012, 12:13:27 AM »

To be honest, I suspected something like that was going on. Is it possible to change this back to 100%?

Unreal · « **Reply #59 on:** March 01, 2012, 02:55:37 AM »

Fought all HW bots with VCR, bots it beat: Biohazard, Beta, Behemoth, Ronin, Overkill, Snow Job, Bad Dog, Killdozer, Veloxiraptor, Chaors 2, Minion, Tornado Mer and acquarius 2. It did quite well against the 'IRL' bots but didn't last long against alot of the others. The armour took only two or 3 hits against some of the hammers.
