'Cause Urjak beats KM in flippers anytime, maybe ?

I wouldn't go THAT far, but I would say that Urjak wins when it comes to looks.

How well does it flip? Because some things flip different. 120cm skirts are good, 80cm skirts are great, and 120cm angled skirts are pretty bad.

It does the job, I can say that. It is not as strong as Second Sentinel though.

Hello Everybody, being the old and masterful person that I am, here is my first good LW Drum, Warfly:

Warfly is an adaptation of my MW drum Warfrog, which in turn is an adaptation of my HW Drum Warpig. It has 10 light DSL teeth that are attached in a perhaps semi-realistic manner (I attached a second poly-extender onto the end of one of the aluminum extenders, and only attached weapons to the part that didn't intersect the other aluminum extender). I am not planning to enter it into any tourneys though, so it should be alright. The top and bottom protection allows it to take some beating from gut-rippers (not as well as Warpig or Warfrog) and even beat some popups.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Plastic 1.

NFX · « **Reply #633 on:** June 29, 2011, 02:41:36 PM »

And you can afford this if your opponents can't reach the chassis. =]

What I might try is get a second disc on the top of the robot, instead of the DSL Bar. Maybe you could swap the alu extenders holding the weaponry to poly ones, maybe the ones holding the Piglets as well. That should get you the weight for a DSL disc on the top. 4 ants?

Ehhh... it is a tough call. I don't think 4 ants is going to happen, but I could reduce the piglet extender work and afford a DSL disk. I'm not sure how risky it is, though the extenders were never knocked off in testing. I do not want to drop my drum extenders though, as they are hit surprisingly often.

NFX · « **Reply #635 on:** June 29, 2011, 02:53:21 PM »

Really? I'd have thought the weapons would protect them. If you settled for 8 teeth, that should get you the second disc and another ant, plus some extra weight to beef up the extenders if you need to.

Scorpion · « **Reply #636 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:00:03 PM »

You could try and get those stabilizers to 40cms, if needs be you could use flipper makers on their side instead of the aluminium extenders to make them further seperated to do that.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #637 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:10:16 PM »

For top armor, I prefer the double 40cm skirt, or the side panel, over DSL Bar.

Drop the wheels down to shiny so you can afford the 4th battery. If you start out underpower you are going to be just as slow anyway.

Well, I downgraded my piglet extenders to polycarb, and got a DSL disk (it helps a log against popups due to greater coverage area) and upped my stabilizers. As far is the ant is concerned, I did some testing with an extra ant and it only prolonged battery life, and not increase speed. I think the extra weapons are of more value.

@Scorpion: I assume you mean 80cm stabilizers, for I already have 40cm ones. Unfortunately, aluminum 80 cm skirts are to heavy, and I do not want to use vulnerable plastic ones.

@123STW: I am not sure exactly how I would use two 4cm skirts to cover my chassis (its too wide for the skirts to cover). Like I said for NFX, the extra ant does not increase speed.

Just drive with drums off, then with drums on. It all depends on how many motors you have on at the time. It will be slow when all 4 motors are on at a time.
