I will be shocked if that spins smoothly.

Well... I have tested, and it spins smoothly.

lawl it looks like the bot that some random n00b would build, not GTM's old master :P

Heheheh... watch it win!

It does look quite unbalanced to me. But hopefully it should all work.

I am not surprised.  After all RPP spins fine after losing a whole side.

Hello Everybody!

Here is my entry for Battlebots 3, Totality:





Totality is an SHW Nightmare-style VS with a dual perm and two 70kg hammers for weapons. It is driven by two NPC fasts with overkill wheels. This is probably my favorite IRL style bot that I have built, and it is fairly effective in combat as well. The steering is very fast, thanks to the wide stance, but with some AI tweaking I was able to prevent it from flipping itself over. Speaking of which, the bot can self-right, though if the weapon is stopped while upside down it will be immobilized. It is fairly stable thanks to the steel and polycarb sheets. Armor is Steel 10 to make the chassis as heavy of a ballast as possible.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

That looks sweet. Could give a huge hit it looks like.

[Jack Daniels]

Nobody in their right mind would put polycarb sheets on a bot like that IRL.  (change them to aluminum and I will forgive you.  )

Otherwise, it's awesome.  An amazing effort at a IRL bot from you.  I like seeing your IRL designs because I know that you absolutely strive for efficiency with DSL.  It is like seeing an artist create something out of his element.  Good work man!

I guess I'm not in my right mind but I did it for different reasons that will only be understandable after the Franklin Cup next week.


Urjak that VS looks awesome. I'd be slightly worried about the whole drive being held on with exposed flipper makers. Could you drop down to Techno wheels and cover them. It also might make it look better.

Oh all right, I'll swap em' for aluminum. :P

Honestly, I am not all that concerned about them coming off, as no bot I have tested against (and this is NAR AI) has been able to get to flipper segments before they just destroy the legs themselves. However, I do worry about the wheels, so the extra HP of the Overkills helps resist attack, as well as not sticking as far out as technos do.

EDIT:

Made the changes you guys recommended (kept the Overkills though):



Enjoy.

We already know you are crazy.   

Your argument is valid.  However, my basis for the critique is that his bot is a SHW and I just can't imagine a true SHW using a material that would break off in a heartbeat with that class.  Any form of metal, instead, just seems more feasible.

Thanks for making the change Urjak.  Looks awesome.  Can't wait to see it in action. 

[Naryar]

Oh, a combat efficient IRL bot. This is what I like.

Well, you managed to convince me to enter the SHW division just to face against you.

BRING IT ON, OLD MAN !

[NFX]

I'm glad I didn't enter the SHW division with that thing around. Looks really devilish, it should do well, provided it can keep its stabilisers and such.

[FOTEPX]

Totally is Totally Urjak and Totally Awesome.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Should still be able to knock this aside if I can spin up.
