Also empty space.

Anyway, new bot, new armour (Better KG/HP than ramplates and castors)

Only downside is that it's WPB bait.

Is it a popup?

Yeah.

Extenders work for anything though, 1000 HP per extender (500 per kilogram if you are smart), Many attachment points (Meaning you can add razors to fight back making it better than Ramplates) and lots of area can be covered. Downsides? It's laggy if you abuse it and HS eat it up unless you use it wisely. Also: 7 part rule.

I haven't played in a while but im pretty sure extenders have less than 1k hp. Good idea though.

Reier · « **Reply #504 on:** June 08, 2010, 02:14:56 PM »

I thought it was 200 HP...

Extenders have 400hp, IIRC.

BALLS!!!

I'll get back on it...

I'm sorry to say that extenders use the default values of the base type 'Component' (the type listed in the text file) which is 100 HP with 15 fracture.

In terms of efficiency, weapons are generally the best but here are some numbers and formulas for you to look at:
(HP+Fracture)/Weight
Weapons: Bear Claw (127.5), Ice Pick(Single) (127.5), Ninja Star (127.5), Pointy Tip (127.5), and Pole Spike (127.5)
Wheels: Shiny Hub (35), Rubber (24.71), Mini (24.71), Buzzard (24.71), and SlipperBottom (23.33)
Motor/Piston: Reversible Angle Drive (26.25), Redbird (20), Burst/Servo Piston (19.09), Snapper2 Burst Motor (19.09), and Servo Motor 302 (19.09)
Component: Round Extender(20cm) (57.5), Emergency Wedge (44.28), Rotator Bar (37.14), Disc(60cm) (34.67), Disc(80cm) (30.59)

((10-SizeRank)/10)*(HP+Fracture)/Weight
(SizeRank is just the ranking that I gave the component in terms of size (some were close to the same so I repeated numbers))(10 is the number of components that I evaluated)
1. Battle Axe (30.6)
2. Emergency Wedge (22.14)
3. Ramplate (20.8)
4. Disc(140cm) (20.35)
5. Disc(120cm) (19.81)

Personally, I prefer to use battle axes, ramplates, or castors on my bots (depends on the design). Battle Axes are large and can deal more damage than ramplates. Ramplates have the highest fracture (which was poorly represented in the formulas) and can damage components from all sides. Castors are invincible but can't protect the chassis as well as ramplates. On a side note, although snowplows are wide, they have the same HP and Fracture as round extenders (which was its downfall in the latter formula).

So buzzard wheels are good after all? COOL!

plows have 100 hp O:?

Naryar · « **Reply #510 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:09:32 AM »

Stock plows have 1000 HP i think... since they're in the extras part.

No, the base type listed in the text file is 'Component' (the only base type with 1000HP by default is 'Weapon'). The category that components are placed into has nothing to do with the component itself (but the base type does). If you would like to test it, all you need to do is use this python code: plus.getHitpoints(BotID, CompID)
