Here is a bot that I made ages ago, I know the dsl bars could be attached in a better way.
My question being, why does this do so badly? It can't even win against eye stabber

Because this game is dominated by wedge bots. You have bots that just slides right under and start popping/grinding at your open bottom. So anything without wedges will need serious external armor to survive.

OK, but, all of the irons will have fallen off & eye stabber will ony have lost of pole spike

123savethewhales · « **Reply #163 on:** June 25, 2010, 12:52:13 PM »

Probably because eyestabber is under your bot, so it's hitting the extenders and not your iron.

Iron are fine as long as they are the one making contact.

Get faster drive.

Smash Hit:

I made this bot earlier.
It doesn't really act how I expected it to, it spins on one hammer, sorta like doom driedel
I've put it on the exchange, soyou can all have a look at it, its under the file name 'Vertigo_Smash Hit.bot'
Why on Earth does it do this?

Naryar · « **Reply #166 on:** June 26, 2010, 10:48:38 AM »

Happens to me all the time. Just put flippermakers like on the bot i showcased in the BTTB 2 thread.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #167 on:** June 26, 2010, 10:49:24 AM »

That happened to me as well. Follow Naryar's advice. :)

Vertigo · « **Reply #168 on:** June 26, 2010, 10:50:28 AM »

OK, I'll try that

Vertigo · « **Reply #169 on:** June 26, 2010, 11:09:17 AM »

OK, that worked thanks

<- That looks hidious lol
New bot:

Inertia 2, (first version was posted on page 2),
True popup, titanium 5, small jx's, npc fasts, about 770kg
Good wedges, overpowered but I think thats good as it is a popup
However, deals pathetic damage, it has only ever destroyed a bot ONCE (yes, this was in NAR AI)

Naryar · « **Reply #170 on:** June 26, 2010, 12:48:58 PM »

Looks decent enough, and in no way can this deal pathetic damage... that should score easily over 1000-2000 hits.

Vertigo · « **Reply #171 on:** June 26, 2010, 01:09:01 PM »

Try it for yourself, I've put it on the bot exchange

123savethewhales · « **Reply #172 on:** June 26, 2010, 04:11:01 PM »

it doesn't deal full damage because the way razors are unevenly turned. So only some of them make contact at a time.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #176 on:** June 27, 2010, 10:43:42 AM »

You really like that skin. :P

I would use DSL Discs to give it the feel of the original.
