If you're thinking of ant saws, you might as well turn it into a drum. :D

Ooh, sounds nice. Might try it. Tell me what you think of this:

*Deep breath*

Moved 2nd extender and the piglet up to the top of the 1st extender and changed the 40cm alu's to sixty cm Carbons. Kept the same weapon setup, and changed the tite 1 to plastic 1. Sound good?

Plastic 1 is fine, but CF extenders as stabilizers are a no-no because in this case, it acts as your armor as well.

Oh, and you might want to post this in your own showcase next. This is Urjee's showcase. XD

FOTEPX your arrogance has lasted way enough... you LISTEN to top builders, not try to prove you're better than them when you're quite clearly not.

@Urjak: Is 2 ant batteries ok ?

Urjak · « **Reply #444 on:** July 05, 2010, 05:47:53 PM »

Two ants powers the bot fine. Would three be ideal? Yes, but 6 kg is too much to spare.

Pwnator · « **Reply #445 on:** July 05, 2010, 11:25:48 PM »

I just built a clone with 3 ants, but it can't self-right since it uses wide ants.

Hello everybody! Here is my newest and one of my best LWs, Dances with Knives:

Dances with Knives is a LW HS with 6 razors and 6 typhoon spikes as weapons. It is slowish in speed (not much of a problem) and quite damaging. It has Plastic 3 for armor. It can defeat almost all LWs that I have tested it on so far, with the exception of Gearhead (has some trouble). This bot is my likely CCIV entry if I don't build something better.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Looks...

Unbelieveably awesome.

You might want to downgrade the extenders to poly and and the wheels to shinies in order to make it so you have 12 razors. That's really all I can think of.

Needs more ants

That would help give it some more punch. I have already began construction of one with a bigger cube to accommodate another ant.

I couldn't get AtaxiA to be very effective unless it juggled, which requires speed and wedginess. Also, you have some needless extenderwork that can be cleaned up with a couple of multi extenders.

That is very odd. My bot does most of his damage HS-style, only occasionally juggling its opponents. And my bot has a very nice wedge, but is slow.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #452 on:** August 24, 2010, 05:40:38 PM »

I agree with Stag. To get the most out of the weapons you should make a bigger cube and use shinies.

G.K. · « **Reply #453 on:** August 24, 2010, 05:44:14 PM »

It doesn't need to get slower guys.

NFX · « **Reply #454 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:26:16 PM »

Looks brilliant, and if it's as damaging as you say it is, it should do really well in CCIV. I'm slightly worried about the extenders at the back should someone get to them, and as Stag says, it is pretty underpowered. I almost always make a point of slightly overpowering my bots, just to keep them going at full whack for the full three minutes should I need to.

MassimoV · « **Reply #455 on:** August 24, 2010, 08:01:08 PM »

It looks really good. I'm guessing you might defend your title if you out wedge all off the flipper.

Hello everybody! Did some upgrading and ended up with Dances With Knives II:

I took R0B0's advice and cut down my extender work. This gave me sufficient weight to give me another ant. And before anyone says I should get more razors, it is simply not worth the cost of downgrading my wheels. And besides, the extra damage (HP is the same for typhoon spikes and razors) wouldn't really get me much, as the robots who out weapon me currently would just as easily out weapon me with razors.

The bot preforms much better now. It is faster and more damaging thanks to the juice for the extra battery. He also has a great wedge (out wedges FnF and a few other HWs) and only has trouble with bots who out weapon him (flail shell spinners and Hammerhead-type bots).

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Sweet. Those spikes dont have normals?

G.K. · « **Reply #458 on:** August 25, 2010, 02:03:07 PM »

No, they don't.

Naryar · « **Reply #459 on:** August 25, 2010, 03:44:05 PM »

Nice bot, probably should be faster though.
