You have a good point there. What do you think about the bots themselves?

Somebody · « **Reply #41 on:** August 18, 2008, 05:38:09 PM »

I like The Ugly, but The Bad has a little to much open space, and if it is supposed to be a MW, it isn't.

both are supposed to be LW.

Somebody · « **Reply #43 on:** August 18, 2008, 05:48:09 PM »

I meant for them being a multi-bot.

Urjak · « **Reply #44 on:** August 18, 2008, 06:42:08 PM »

yeah your right.

2 The Uglys might have a chance against DOAM.

If they are supposed to be multi-bots, they can't compete at MW.
Together they weigh a good 90kgs over the MW limit.

However, The Ugly does look like a well built bot.

Yeah, I know, I will have to cut down on weight.

Just make a new The Bad, and make it more like The Ugly. Like how Gemini in Robot Wars, both bots were the same.

What are you talking about? Both bots are nice for LWs but each could be slightly improved by managing space.

This makes me want to build a multibot. However, on the spinner, use ant wheels or DSL 1s. They are both more efficient, the ant ones for weight and the DSL 1s for grip.

Hello everyone, I have not posted in a while so here is my newest robot:

Psyco Sweeper's Revenge:

Psyco Sweeper's Revenge is a new and improved Psyco Sweeper. He has four Fast NPCs, with Hypno Wheels and three Iron Spikes. He is FAST, able to launch opposing MWs across the arena. His main draw back is MAJOR instability.

Comments and criticisms would be apppreciated. :D

4WD NPC fast drive with Hypno wheels ? Isn't this a little too much? (although, i love that drive wheel/motor combo, especiallt the ground clearance)

That's Infernal Contraption's drive and he's already fast!

I'm satisfied with the empty space management, although you could still win a little more.

You should add more weapons, 3 irons is not enough for a MW.

Perhaps, i'm saying perhaps because of your tastes, you should use the same drive as my Headache 3 (Techno Destructo's on NPC Fasts), it's lighter than yours, is still VERY fast and doesn't sucks that much power.

But it is indeed superior to the first, and looks cooler too.

I I had DSL working I'll gladly rebuild that for you.

Hello, I have to keep this showcase going, so here is my newest bot, Lousy Launcher V2:

Since Lousy Launcher is going to be decimated in RAW, I have decided to desigin Version 2. Powered by two Spring Beta Motors, and Techno Destructo wheels on two fast NPCs. I also noticed something odd. When I angled the skirts on the Beta Motors using those grey conectors, the flipping power was greatly decreased. When I just made them parallel to the Beta Motors arm, the flipping power was greatly increased. Does any one else have this same problem or know why it happens ?

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Thanks, do you know why angled skirts on Beta Motors have decreased flipping power?

EDIT: Looking at Second Sentinel's chassis, components, and battery usage really helped me develop Version 2.

Good wheel and drive choice. Neat tight chassis. Looks cooler than the first. Better wedges, I'm sure.

This wipes out temporarily my spite for flippers.

I'm being an ass because this bot is great but if you want to upgrade it even further:

-If you put the fast NPC's vertically (exactly like my tabletop pusher) on the baseplate and stick a techno destructo wheel on them, you'll have really very few ground clearance. (nevermind if you already have very few)
-I'm sure that with another cleverer chassis/component setup you could put better batteries than ant ones.
-It still lacks side armor.
-If it isn't done, be sure to use titanium armor.

I will definatly try to reposition the motors and see what happens, and I have had HORRIBLE luck with other batteries, especially the red ones, they just do not seem to fit. I will definatly add side armor. And if I am going to have side protection, I will put my armor at 5 mm Titanium. (Is now 5 mm Steel.)

Thanks for you input Naryar.

Naryar · « **Reply #58 on:** October 04, 2008, 12:22:09 PM »

5mm steel is not armor, that's madness. I don't think you need that much armor on a flipper, or even on any bot.

Why? Simply because if your flippers get shredded, because these are the most exposed parts, your bot will be nearly useless, and all that heavy steel armor won't help.

Focus on having wide and great wedges, and a little front defense. Don't use armor that heavy. I would go with 3mm titanium - or go 5mm if you feel it's better after a few fights.

You should divide the armor rating by the armor weight for all armors, as I do, it will show you the best armors.

Woah, okay I wil keep that in mind.
