You could add a snow plow if you used battle packs instead.

SFTW? Don't be so hard on yourself, dude. Your FSes is better than my FSes. :P

thats not bad, but if the wedges are going through the floor its one of 2 things
1: Its at too much of an angle
2: the collesion mesh on the skirt hinge is screwy. You'l have to replace the skirt hinge. that happened to me with decoy

The protagonist from the little-known Japanese arcade game known as "Mr. Heli" has traded his helicopter blades and shoes for a set of wheels and a Son of Whyachi inspired weapon.

TP-3 Mr. Heli - Horizonal Spinner Prototype

Technical Data:
2 ant batteries
2 Slimbody motors
Generic mini wheels
Weapons: 3 standard 30 kilogram sledge hammers on a "tribar"
Weight: 247.9
3 mm plastic
Hit range: 100-?
Highest hit: 450+

Main points:
+ Fairly durable weapons
+ Hits fairly big
+ Decent battery power
- Extremely unstable (weapons rotate so fast it **LIFTS** the front)
- Speaking of fast rotation, it's slow to start up a spin.
- Weak armor
- Name sounds like it came off a kids' show
- Slow
- Unstable
- The driver sucks at driving

Those drive motors are actually Astroflights.

Reduce the empty space and also make the tribar smaller. You can use the leftover weight to add another ant battery and maybe switch to slimbody motors for drive instead.

The robot is unstable at this size - do you know how much more unstable it will be if it were smaller?

Naryar · « **Reply #70 on:** July 03, 2009, 11:58:04 PM »

less empty space.

more external stabilizers that will help in armor too.

grippier wheels as well, like wide ant wheels.

Over the last few hours, the TP-3 series has gone through some renovation and redesigning. These proof-of-concept robots are developed with increased stability in mind.

TP-3a Mr. Heli II -Clash Cubes Lightweight Concept-

Although Mr. Heli II has shrunk in size, his weapons have not. Another ant battery was added, as well as small aluminum skirts which protrude from the corners of Mr. Heli enhance stability slightly. The biggest changes, however, are the externally mounted drive motors and the change from a TWM3R to a Brushless Piglet. As a result, he is now much faster in drive, but his weapon seriously lacks the nessessary hitting power. He is fully capable of beating "Ribbs" Gyroman3, but just simply cannot deliver the killer smash.

BW-TP-3b Mr. Heli III -Beetleweight Horizonal Spinner Prototype-

By simply swapping the SoW-inspired tribar weapon with a simpler DSL bar and mace system, the speed of the weapon increased dramatically. Everything else in this rendition of the little helicopter remains the same as Mr. Heli II. His competence in the BW category is questionable, but here he stands a much better chance at winning compared to the much heavier counterpart.

I like the BW better. Whats the armour for that?

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #73 on:** July 04, 2009, 11:12:48 PM »

1 mm steel is used on III, 3 mm plastic is used on II.

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #74 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:27:58 AM »

After Mr. Heli III got his ass handed to by Microwhirl of the Arthrobotics team, Mr. Heli has gone back to the drawing board with his weaponary.

TP-3c Mr. Heli IV -Improved Beetleweight Horizonal Spinner-

This revision of Mr. Heli has decided that all jokes are off. He's come out practically with guns blazing! He now sports a spike strip and his DSL bar weapons are now two spiked clubs! Mr. Heli may be a tiny bot - but this little guy AIN'T going down without a lot of kicking and screaming. Too bad he's not that stable once he loses one of his clubs. He's kind of slow to get back on his feet if he flips over as well... not to mention the classic 1 mm plastic TakatsukiYayoi seems to love.

The Ounce · « **Reply #75 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:34:16 AM »

Use Astroflights instead of Piglet motors for drive. How stable is the bot after it delivers a hit? For some reason, it looks really unstable to me.

takatsukiyayoi · « **Reply #76 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:45:49 AM »

It's actually kinda quick with Piglets. I guess Naryar was right when he said these were okay in the sub-weight classes.

Pwnator · « **Reply #77 on:** July 05, 2009, 01:49:07 AM »

Hmmm... try this. Use the spike strip's other attachement point and stick it directly to the wedge instead and attach the plastic extender to the middle of the bar instead. See if it can self-right better.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #78 on:** July 05, 2009, 02:36:16 AM »

Naryar's gonna explode when he sees the piglets for drive. You better censor those quickly, or better yet, change them!.

(I think he meant that they're okay for weapon motors)

trumpetguy · « **Reply #79 on:** July 05, 2009, 06:31:18 PM »

Astroflights are lighter so use them for now.
