I think flippers are not built enough in DSL, despite how effective the are in open arenas.

Subliminally, we think they suck because if the lack of flip-out arenas in stock, which most of us started in.

Hello Everybody! I finally came up with a fairly uncommon idea to build. the bot is called Le Crab:

Le Crab is a LW Side-hammer. At first I thought this idea would suck... but I was very wrong. Le Crab easily dismembers most opponents, taking off exposed extenders or striking the exposed chassis of LWs. Only opponents with strong defenses and minimal extender work (such as Gearhead) can consistently beat him.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I like it but perhaps a bit underpowered.

Can't you use something better than multi-extenders on the hammers? You can probably downgrade from steel extenders too since the razors are probably going to break before the extenders.

Probably a bit underpowered, but there is not much I can do about that without sacrificing something more crucial.

I would love to not have to use multi-extenders, but they are the only extenders that fit below the steel one without intersecting the motor.

As far as the steel... maybe I could downgrade them, but an unforseen issue I had is that robots hit the top extenders a lot, more than I expected, and cause the entire assembly to come off.

I can see a good HS tearing off those BSG's.

You would be very suprised... the BSGs have never come off once, and I've tried him against all of NAR AI LWs. The razors guard the BSGs nicely, so only when the come off does the opponent have a clear shot at them, by which point the bot is screwed anyway.

BSG has 6000 hp, they don't need protection in the LW division.

I wanted to build a LW side hammer but i just don't like green :P

It is like 6 ants underpowered, but it looks good - you might want to trade these extenders for medium beater bars however, and get the 2 razors on the secondary 2 AP's, somehow like i built Blood Knight but lighter.

Hello Everybody! I have finally perfected my ultimate shell spinner design. I give you Weapon Array III:

While a lot less visually appealing than the original Weapon Array, it is a million times more effective. The main concept of its design is to be able to destroy both wedged bots with its flails, and yet have the durability to bring down bots like Grog with the hammers. The hammers also double as mega-stabilizers, so that in essence the bot NEVER becomes unstable until one of the hammers gets ripped off, which has not yet happened in testing. As a extra bonus, the bot's spin up time is a little less than 2 seconds to reach max speed.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Awww... I don't like the way it looks now.

But it's sure deadlier, and that's what counts. I still need to make a flailing shell for once in my life. XD

Urjak · « **Reply #373 on:** January 23, 2010, 11:32:26 AM »

Ahhhh... only one comment.

Anyways, here is my newest and best LW flipper, Mini-Pulse:

Basically I was wondering if Vertical Impulse's design would work well on an LW, and it turns out to work quite well. Mini-Pulse can toss LWs and MWs alike OOTA, and has decent defense against HS. Now before you all scream at me that the bot is underweight, I know that it is. It turns out that's just how the bot preforms best. I can't really do anything much with the weight except increased armor (which is currently at 5mm Plastic) , and doing that slows the bot down and makes him less effective.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Hmmm... 11kg to spare. How about a Lightning spike on a multi-extender on the center?

Not reading posts is awesome.

IMO you need faster drive, but that's just me.

My opinion as well.

Hello Everybody! Here is my newest and best AW HS, Box o' Terror:

Box o' Terror is an AW HS with two irons on a small DSL Bar. I utilized the panic attack skirts (I agree that they are very useful) for protection and stability. Can defeat every AW in NAR AI besides Nit-picker, and its primary weaknesses are short reach and slow overall speed.

Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Reier · « **Reply #379 on:** February 14, 2010, 04:57:39 PM »

Every LW in Nar AI? :P
I had an idea for a BW almost like that, but with a beefier weapon and only the front skirt.
