My hot havok'd like that recently. =P

One the design front, I think the bot looks okay. I might swap a tank for some ant batts, and maybe switch to Tite 3 to get some extra weight to play around with. Maybe upgrade the wedges a little, and possibly another ant.

I don't like how you attached your plows. They probably are going to both fall with just OVER 9000 points worth of damage in the middle, like a FSS would do.

It looks cool anyway - and i had a somehow similar havok with Infcon 2 VS DSL 2.1 Grog WAY back then.

Hit the weak spot for massive damage!


Cool bot, looks powerful.  How many hits does it take to break a shell?

updates for my NAR AI bots



added one more weapon to Black Ice, everything else is the same IIRC except the downgrade of the wedge material.



stronger skirts for Cryoseism. uses plastic 10 instead of alu 10, and doesn't seem as wedgey unfortunately  :mad:



Saint Helens' motor is now protected, also slower but I feel it doesn't need a bunch of speed.



Taupo with twice as much weapons than the original. it now uses a single titanium sheet for bottom armor instead of 3 halfsheets.

I'd keep them as they are personally, althoug I can see the benefits of having them firing forward aswell.
Maybe you could position them at an angle to try and get the best of both worlds.

Saint Helens must be your CCIV bot. I think it looks awesome, but they all do. Won't the fact that Cryoseism doesn't have any plows on the back make bots fly over the back.

It's a popup (well, side popup), so plows just hinder the design.

Disaster Box looks quite potent. Xibalba certainly looks cool, would we be able to see the rest of it?

Disaster Box looks amazing and I love Xilbalba. What if you made it a FS though?

Razors are too small for a design like this, which needs good reach.

And if it love to frontflip, just find a way to extend its stabilizers.

^ yup I agree there ^

due the to damage calculation of RA2 the more weapons that hit at one time generally the better (unless said weapon suck)
