i thought the whole robot had to be a cube, not just the chassis.. that robot looks round to me but you can make a square FBS.

The chassis has to be cubic, not the bot.

In my experience with shell spinners, that does not happen.

what about that one separated shell spinner from bbeans 4 that got his ass kicked

if your referring to my robot thunderstruck! it wasn't a bad design.. it just got a bad draw.

Urjak · « **Reply #245 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:58:38 PM »

I don't see how Thunderstruck! relates to the current situation. He lost for other reasons besides the gaps in the spinner.

the tournament rules was a chassis that had to be a cube so the bigger the base the higher the bot challenging builders to find the right size not just base but height to, but yes your more then welcome to work outside of the box

lol (yes the pun was intended)

interesting FBS, maybe not enough weapons.

Urjak · « **Reply #248 on:** April 20, 2009, 10:34:11 PM »

Weaponing this bot took a very long time due to stability issues. I believe it is as good as it can get, though I would have liked to put flail weapons on it.

Can you say Daisy Might? Needs smaller chassis and more weapons.

Urjak · « **Reply #250 on:** April 21, 2009, 09:07:27 AM »

Condor.... I can't make the chassis much smaller because it has to be a cube. Also, bigger chassis equals more stability, and the few Kgs I could save wouldn't be much of a use.

EDIT: If I hadn't had this restraint, I would never build a shell spinner like this.

Hello Everybody, here is my newest Top Spinner, Little Door Rat:

Little Door Rat is probably my best lightweight. It defeated all the LW AI very first try. Its wedge is very nice, probably a little better than Scout's. Its major weaknesses are its relitivly low armor (1mm Titanium) and lack of side or rear defense. I had considered putting something to stop bots from flying over it, but I chose instead the ability to self-right.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Best TS i've ever seen on these forums.

A little overkill on the weapons though... and you should definitely get this 3 ant batts.

Urjak · « **Reply #253 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:11:23 AM »

Ah yes.... another weakness, low battery life. I may be able to squeeze another ant in. If not, I will probably remake the chassis.

Urjak · « **Reply #254 on:** April 29, 2009, 06:27:59 PM »

Okay Naryar, I took your advice and removed my center DSL tooth, thus giving me the weight to add in another ant battery.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #255 on:** April 29, 2009, 08:38:00 PM »

I like it, but I doubt it as good or built as well was MikeNCR's PowerRad or MadPower (You get it.)

Hello Everybody, here is my newest and probably best BW, Hexy Dominator:

Hexy Dominator is a BW HS with four Iron Spikes and two Razor tips on a Piglet for weapons, and slimbodys with ant wheels for drive. He deals very good damage, and can take on all the DSL BW AI. He is invertible, but does not preform as well upsidedown. One of his primary weaknesses is being flanked, as his turning is not quite as fast as I would have prefered.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Please be realistic...

That is realistic.

System32 · « **Reply #259 on:** May 07, 2009, 04:05:54 PM »

It looks like a battery scraper from that angle, IMO.
