Got the internet working on the PC

The Jester

The King.

Voice your opinions and try to help me improve then guys.

Is the armour on the second one a tite sheet?

Oh, and don't use piglets for drive. Naryar will eat you.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:03:39 PM »

on the first one, piglets fail for drive. On the second one, is that a custom part or a reskin? It would be nice to post inside shots, weight and armor with your bots.

*Waits for a veteran to help more*

Yes, the armour's a reskinned titanium sheet. Was originally going to use it for a WBC Replica, and never change back the skin. And I can't be bothered with painting them at the moment. THankfully, I didn't use piglets for drive in the second one, so Naryar, don't eat me. I probably don't taste nice anyway. Cod liver oil and the crushed hopes of my enemies is my flavour

. Will do insides tomorrow.

give the first one micros, I've herd ants are havoc-y

Naryar · « **Reply #6 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:00:42 AM »

Might be good against gut-rippers because of wedginess but it is too tall to fair well against a horizontal weapon (HS, poker, rammer, etc).

Zog · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:19:45 AM »

I'll try to decrease the height, but that may mean less batteries, and it's only got 3 atm.

Naryar · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:24:09 AM »

A popup needs to be flat to be good. Also you need 1 ant for each drive motor and 2 for each BSG.

How many BSGs does The Jester ? 1 or 2 ?

Zog · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:28:11 AM »

Naryar · « **Reply #10 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:29:38 AM »

BSG-200 Burst motors.

Or Mag Snappers... or did you really managed to get a small JX on there ?

Zog · « **Reply #11 on:** February 17, 2010, 02:30:38 AM »

Just one BSG. I'll try to completely remake it.

What trollin bastard has given you all of this mis-information???

There PIGLETS and they have low torque. It makes for slow drive.

Nobody gave him bad information. It's just that he didn't understand the nasty pickle that happens often on small chassis with ant wheels.

What the

is the Nasty Pickle anyway?
I see it on all the tourney rules, But i have no idea of what it is :\

Doomkiller · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2010, 08:37:46 PM »

make a really small bot, and put REALLY big wheels on it. Then see what happens.

*Too lazy to try out*

I guess the chassis would spin instead of the wheels? Or itll just be uncontrollable?
Well, The Ant Wheels are rather small, You you said it happens with REALLY big wheels ;O

JoeBlo · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2010, 08:51:09 PM »

the wheels havok

look at some CC2 qualifying videos, Aggro Cube was notorious for performing it. Monster Cube also did an epic version of it triggered by Super SnS

Zog · « **Reply #18 on:** August 14, 2010, 04:03:01 AM »

-BUMP-

This is VRam, something I made when I was bored. I just wanted to see what would happen when I put a HS with a Rammer. VRam was the result.

Fantastic Flying Fish. I thought that one FS wasn't enough, so I made 2 plus a couple of spinny razor things, just for Naryar.

Popper. Another fail attempt at a popup.

Vertigo · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2010, 04:16:44 AM »

VRam:
Unrealistic
Way overpowered, needs 4 ant batts, although about 5 or 6 would be better

FFF:
Use multi extenders
2 mag motor (twm3r) face spinners would probably be better than 4 piglet ones

Popper,
Use ant batts,
NPC Fasts with hypnos would be better drive
Get a more boxy chasis shape, so that you don't waste weight,
Use a titanium sheet for front protection.
Skirt hinge wedges
You could then have 2 bsgs for the weapon motors
NEVER use mag snappers, bsgs are better & lighter
