Hello everybody! Here is my probable entry into the new Micro Mayhem, Agent Aqua:

Agent Aqua is a BW VS with 6 razors on a piglet for weapons. I realized that I was approaching the BW VS situation wrong, and that instead of having the opposing bot go up my weapon and over my chassis (like Agent Orange, a previously showcased VS), I should have the weapon either go on top of the enemy or get under them and keep them away from my chassis. This is the end result...

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Anything that gut-rips instantly beats my new rammer. You win. :P

Hello everybody! Here is the newest update to my BW VS, I call it Wraith:

Wraith is a BW VS with 6 razors on a piglet for weapons and Wide Ant wheels on Astrofilghts for drive. The problem with the old Agent Aqua (the robot showcased before this one) was that it was too slow and not invertible. With this redesign, I lightened my extenders and got wide ant wheels. I also used angled polycarb skirts for stabilizers, which gave me invertibility and made the bot more stable.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Looks excellent. Can't see that much wrong with it. How often to the poly skirts get taken off?

Almost never. Robots tend to ride up them rather than outright hit them.

Well... since comments are coming in slow today I'll just put up my next bot, Midge:

Midge is sort of an update to Nit-Picker. It has 5 razors (over Nit-Picker's 4) and a faster overall speed. It is invertible and has a weapon arrangement that allows it to better handle VSs. It can defeat all AWs in NAR AI easily.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I went searching for a bot called Ice Drop and couldn't find one so I assume it is in a later version of NAR AI.

What version do you have ? :P

Urjak · « **Reply #489 on:** October 12, 2010, 09:27:36 AM »

The one right before you started modding components.

Naryar · « **Reply #490 on:** October 12, 2010, 09:53:25 AM »

Then just put the AI folder of the v2.4 release in your game if you don't like my changes ! Most bots will work.

Wraith looks better than Breakfast.

But if it goes in Micro Mayhem, those poly sheets could get hit a lot more.

Also, I'm guessing it's called Wraith because 90% of the bot is semitransparent. If so, name win.

Hello everybody! I have a new VS to showcase, Scoliosis:

Scoliosis (name fits so well) is a MW Angled VS with 14 razors on a Perm 132 for weapons. This bot started out as a successor to Woozo II, but I found an angled design seemed to work better (though does cause a decrease of flipping power). Scoliosis can take out many NAR AI MWs.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

That looks quite destructive. Though I would be slightly worried if anything did get to the chassis. Or those poly extenders.

Damn you made my idea before I could! :P

It's awesome.

that looks awesome send it to me now please :P

Why use 2 20 cm extenders for the motor when you can use 1 40cm?

I am not sure what chassis armor it has, but if possible, lower it and put a caster on the bottom.
