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

That would prevent me for attaching an axle to the top attachment point on the panels.

Oh but i see one panel has 3 flails and 2 are on a poly extender, wynaut put them on the panel itself :P

*headdesk* Good point. Though concentrating the razors lower would help better fight off undercutter SnS or HS.

Hello Everybody! I decided to take a break from Sheck Spinners for a while (I know how much you all love them :P) and rebuild some of my old bots. First up, The Devil's Cherry:

The Devil's Cherry was a decent bot during the time it was built, but bot building has seriously evolved since then. I first ditched the clubs for razors and expanded my disk. I then upped my weapon motor to a dual perm and the drive to NPC fasts. Lastly I gave him metal hinge wedges.

This bot is probably one of my favorites (of the bots I have built). I like the look of the bot, particularly the weapon motor in back. With only 12 razors, High DP opponents are tough to beat. However, that Dual Perm packs a serious punch, able to score 6000+ hits occasionally. The downside to that is the torque of the Dual Perm works against the bot, constantly turning it. When driven by a human, the bot can be driven with some tactical driving, however I don't think an AI driver would work (though I haven't tried yet). The wedges are surprisingly good, and the 360 degree weapon radius makes flanking the bot quite difficult.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Interesting design, should be great combat wise.

You should be able to make it work using Axle Loading/eFFeing at the same time, having the disc floating in space and eFFeing the stuff on like that. You need an insane amount of spatial awareness, but it'll definitely work.

I think the axles would be occupying the same space (I.E. they would be stacked) if I managed to attach them.

Well, I said I would build a sawbot, and so I did:

Preforms pretty well, but the wedges have AGODed (still decent though).

No, kidding. Actually you probably know that motor spam = less efficiency, but just went on for the lulz :P

Yeah, I realized that 12 weapon motors is probably pushing it, but I wanted to keep going for... well... the lulz.

Yup, quite nicely actually, especially against bots with large, extender filled undersides.

Never saw (pun) so many blades on a bot. Looks cool none the less.

Should be called Motorload.

Lookin' good, but... Eheh... Uhh...

Well, everyone else is posting their NQRW bots, so here's mine:

The bot, named Calm-Assertive, is based off of Frenzy and uses those cheaty hammers to deal large amounts of damage with 10,000 HP.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Why such a weird chassis/wheel/motor choice?

This is for Not Quite Replica Wars, I can only use components found on the DSL replica Frenzy.

I like how there is always a comment like that when someone posts a NQRW bot.
My mind can't work out if it's even close to being rotationally symmetrical though.

Idk if I can beat it, looks pretty good.

Well, the weapons are rotationally symmetric (or very close), it is just that the center of said symmetry is not the center of the bot. By that I mean the weapon heads are close to the wheels on some sides and farther on others. Not quite sure if that really helped simplify it. :P

Much faster than I expected given the motor/wheel combo.
