That's irrelevant.

A) It's my opinion.
B) I had another point, which I forgot, so I'll say it's my opinion again.I'll edit the post if I remember it.

Find me a IRL VS with long wedges.

There's this bloke:

Who has a wedge almost as long as the chassis is wide.

People do many things to make bots "perform better" with direct loss of IRL-ness. That is my slight issue with it.

It is not a matter of "preforming better", it is a matter of functioning at all. I simply can't make the chassis wide enough for stability, thus I chose the lesser of two evils and used longer wedges rather than shorten my weapon (which would make him less able to chuck things and more boring to watch.

OK, you found me an example. Now I am happy. And have an excuse to use angled wedges on all my IRL bots.

Hello Everybody!

I made an upgrade to Widow:

I altered the chassis shape to give the bot more of a shallow wedge, as well as a massive increase in stability. This came at the cost of an ant battery, which didn't seem to alter the bots effectiveness. Personally I think the chassis change makes the bot look cooler and just as realistic as the previous version.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Hello Everybody! I have been toying around with some Cruiserweight designs, and came up with this:

Heavy Cruiser (see what I did there? :P) is a CW FSS with an externally mounted (on the largest grey disk) 6-mag powering a disk with 24 razors. The only thing I don''t like about is the only somewhat cubic chassis (at least I tried) which I will probably try to fix. It can take on many HWs in NAR AI.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

You can probably make that chassis into a cube.

Yup, with few minutes of tinkering I was able to get a cubic chassis (though said chassis does stick out a sliver over the disk, but I don't think the effect will be too disastrous).

what the

is a cruiserweight

sage have you been living in a cave practicing your magic or something?
It's the new weight class (600.0 kg) for CC5

Badnik96 · « **Reply #669 on:** July 21, 2011, 11:28:51 PM »

Awww I was gonna make an FSS for Clash Cubes.

Also Widow looks awesome. Think you could enter Blades of Fury with it?

Sure, don't see why not.

Cruiserweights ? who decides to add new weights now ?

NFX · « **Reply #672 on:** July 22, 2011, 04:18:55 AM »

JoeBlo did. Apparently he wanted to do like Clash Cubes 2 and innovate a new weight class.

G.K. actually gave it the name, NFX. :P

NFX · « **Reply #676 on:** July 22, 2011, 11:03:44 AM »

I remember GK giving it the name, but it was JoeBlo that came up with the 600kg limit, wasn't it? Or was it Click with that April Fool's thing?

G.K. · « **Reply #677 on:** July 22, 2011, 11:07:36 AM »

We both gave the name, I just prompted him for this tourney.

Urjak · « **Reply #678 on:** July 22, 2011, 11:36:06 AM »

And here I was thinking all these new posts were going to be about my bot... silly me. :P

Hello Everybody! I decided to adapt Ty4er's bot into an AW SnS of my own. I call it Pink Flash:

It has 2 spiked clubs (there tough and the large size gives added stability) with 2 small DSL teeth attacked to the tips). The drive is astros with mini wheels that give invertability. The armor is 1mm Plastic, but the bot spins fast enough so that fast rammers have a hard time getting through (there are so few AW gutrippers that I don't think I have to worry). Pink Flash preforms excellently, and I was quite surprised.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

EDIT: Before anyone says anything, I changed the four 20 cm carbon fiber extenders to two 40 cm extenders. No sure why I missed that.
