What's the big deal about metal hinge wedges?
There's nothing not realistic about them, they're just very good.
Get everbody to not use them for IRL bots, and you'll just be back to skirt hinge wedges anyway.

...That's one weird chassis shape on Widow.

These are OK, not the most realistic bots I've gotten but they're OK.

Widow has empty space

Here is my current design for Conraaa's Home & Away tournament:

Its called Octomination (a play on abomination), and it is a melty brain SnS with 4 NPCs Fast and two normal NPCs for drive, as well as 68 razors for weapons.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Pretty cool and original. If only it didn't use so many flails.

Oh, and glass cannon ahoy.

Sweet sequel.

Only if they can get under it... which is pretty hard. Fat Rat (SHW version) and Shiva were unable to do it, with Claymore able to KO him unreliably.

68 razors for weapons.

You should've added another one.

Unless my eyes are tricking me, those poly extenders are for raising the drive, right?

Yes, raising them was well just giving a spot for the motors to be attached (the attachment points on the CFs are too close to other components).

Why do you need the polycarb? Just use double section carbon fiber.

The motors need to be raised for invertability (and it helps to have lower ground clearance).

Humm, I guess I might have to use my shw wide popup then. I am pretty sure that is more consistent than king rat in killing SnS.

I don't know..... I was expecting a lot of shell/SnS just because it's rumble. Maybe I can enter an SnS instead.

I'm not so certain about the shell spinners. I find it harder to build good SHW shell spinners because of the lack of a more powerful weapon motor. Then again I guess that just means there will be a bunch of bad shell spinners.... which is popup fodder.

I decided to prove myself wrong and built this:

Wreaking Havok II (see what I did there?) is a SHW FSS with 56 razors powered by a Dual Perm with two NPC fasts for drive. After painstakingly Effeing the axles on, I was able to get a satisfactory number of weapons onto a smaller disk than my first SHW FSS; this allows for a much quicker spin-up time (just a little slower than Weapon Array). I used overlapping half-sheets on the bottom to offer bottom protection (damage can still sometimes get through however), which allows it to beat the SHW gutrippers like King Rat, Shiva, and Claymore.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

...Woah, Just...Woah. I couldn't make something like that. Excellent Job, Urjak!

Can't you upgrade the extenders holding the top skirts?

Or put them on an alu skirt :P

Looks very nice though :D

I could.... though that extender is just not going to get hit before the poly skirts do.

NFX · « **Reply #758 on:** August 19, 2011, 03:09:56 PM »

Looks pretty insane. Would it work if the poly extenders on the shell were pointing upwards instead of sideways?
