I changed the side plows for more weight, changed the wheels to technos@Nary you were right it makes a big difference with getting bots on top:smiley:. Put a medium plow to trap bots, got rid of the the front pannels with the light DSl teeth because thet were blocking bots from getting up the wedjes, Thanks 123savethewhales for the weapon motor guide, which I changed the NPC to TWMR(I think thats what they are). I Also found a better solution for the wedjes they work alot better know. It can beat Shebeast so I'm satisfied because shebeast is a decent bot. There is also always room for improvement so I'm all ears:-D.

This is my first BW and plan on making a HS and a poker. I was trying to make a BW Legend Killer but it was to hard. So I made BW Rammer. Armour Alum. 1, it beats all the BW the only one that gives me problems sometimes is Micro Whirl. Always open for ideas.

Viper89 · « **Reply #223 on:** February 25, 2010, 10:47:16 PM »

The insides are the same except I got rid of a ant battery. Armour Titanium 1. Gonna work on some HS's, Hammers and Poker's. Please I haven't posted in this showcase sense Sept 2009" I want some Dam opinions/ ideas

It's not bad but you are wasting weight with extenders.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #226 on:** February 26, 2010, 06:15:46 AM »

The angle connector can be replaced with a polycarbonate extender to save weight.

Naryar · « **Reply #227 on:** February 26, 2010, 06:25:14 AM »

The lightest solution is still a skirt hinge with heavier weapons on it (i call 3 killalot drills),

with just a multi-extender you might even be able to put a 70kg hammer on this...it would be unsymmetrical though, so maybe a 60kg one with either more armor or drive.

Hmm skirt hinge and three Killalot drills I like the sound of that I'm going to try that. I knew I could count on you to post some ideas

I think I created a BW Masterpiece

. Amour:Titanium 1. It has good weapons that deal good damage plus their very sturdy for this weight class, It has good defense "2 layers" and Invertible.Lol looking at the rest of the competition I feel very confident with this bot and I know Craaig won't disappoint either, Just touching up the Ai now.@ The Competition If you guys aren't worried you should start worrying " The Assassin Is Back Suckers

" Edit: Also with the edition of the hammer it really does look like a beetle haha . (The end parts of the hammer resembles bug eyes)

Pwnator · « **Reply #230 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:46:24 AM »

Bug eyes lawl.

Anyway, you'll only need 2 ants for this and you can still shrink the part at the front and near the drive. Which means you can probably use a Hammer1 or upgrade the armor. :D

Somebody · « **Reply #231 on:** February 27, 2010, 07:47:42 AM »

The beater bar is kinda worthless there. It just makes bots not hit the hammer. I would...
Replace battlepack with 2 ants, Put on Hammer 1, and then see what you can do with it.

Ok thanks for the advice. I got a question. Even with the battle pak battery it still seems like the battery is draining quickly. Are 2 ants more sufficient then a Battle pak and does driving the bot manually have more of an effect on draining the battery then if an AI did?

It's one ant to run a motor and two to make it spin for the duration of the whole match. So 2 ants > 1 battlepack. :D

Ok cool I never knew that, As for the beater bars I just put it on to add a layer to the hammer and at 10kg was the only weapon that didn't completely block the hammer. It's not as worthelss as you think I managed to get 3000 hit once in a match but that happen once and I really don't how that happen lol. How the front is setup and how short the bar is they hit at the same time more often then you think. But yes I will try Hammer1 and see which setup is better

.Edit: I tried Hammer 1 and didn't like. 1 it didn't work with the front setup I had to remove the Emergency panels. 2 don't feel like trying to rebuild front setup for Hammer 1 just for a measely 1000 more HP. 3 Like any of the BW's in this tourney are gonna be able to knock that 9000HP Hammer off anyway

. I did change the Battery to 2 ants and performance is better .

Alright then whatever works for you.

Viper89 · « **Reply #236 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:46:50 PM »

I just finished AI'ing and would like to make a special thanks to Nary, Pwn, and Somebody for your tips and help with My BW. The BW TagTeam Tourney is going to have their hands full with WAR Beetle, I almost feel kinda a bad for entering this because the 1st Degree Rape that this bot is about to deliver in this Tourney will probably get me 20 years to life haha

Why do so many people like to use Microwhirl's chassis? You could make something more efficient than that.

That looks like a good rammer, but like any rammer you have to be wary of wedges, so don't get too confident just yet.

Ha I knew you post about the Microwhirl chassis you did the last time with Legend Killer, Honestly when it come to chassis building I'm lazy nor not any good at any way so I just use already made chassis. Sometimes I look at a chassis and ideas just come to me.
Well i was going to make a BW Legend killer( My original bot that used the Micro whirl chassis) but I just gave up and made a rammer. And believe me it is very efficient and don't let the look of the bot fool you. Not really worried about wedges because the bottom emergency panel/ skirt thingy acts like one. Well if you knew most of the competition and seen how it performs AI'ed you would be just as confident. When the Tag Team BW tourney starts make sure you watch my match, Me and Craaig by the looks of it is going to be the first match. All your question marks will be answered with exclamation marks I promise you that

I am going to laugh SO hard if your bot is obliterated first round.
