:D if naryar agrees then it must be true! i just need to wait for ironclash signups and then BOOM ill enter and hopefully my bot may not be considered SFTW, the showcase wont be dead though, i will just experiment with some designs with servo, i have an idea for a crusher, you guys got any other ideas?

Servos dont really work well with crushers for damage, because they dont cause frequency damage (Like saws.)
But that was what i tried. For an idea, How about a side hammer? (Like Splinter from Robot Wars)

i reckon i could make the crusher work with some preserverance, that side hammer idea sounds good as well! would a lifter work perhaps? or mabey i should try a replica...

Lifters dont work in RA2 without special burst motors, or just making a flipper.
Side hammers work well for hybrids as well, so mix that with a Axe/Hammer. Make sure to have synergy if you go for a hybrid. No point in having a Flipper next to a Horizontal Spinner, because the HS will hit away the bots
before you flip them. A flamer/side-hammer/Rammer could potentially work, if the rammer acted as a pushbot.
And Naryar loves hybrids. Just go to his showcases.

i like the sound of that, making a hybrid but i think a Wammer+thwacker hybrid would be fun (i love static weaponry and i dont know why i might be addicted plzhalpme)

AYE AYE CAPTAIN!!

Naryar · « **Reply #107 on:** August 07, 2015, 02:30:21 PM »

lol i did one and it's not hard

nor is SnS/wammer really

ecolusian · « **Reply #108 on:** August 07, 2015, 02:38:15 PM »

i made it a focused wammer, by the end i didnt have enough room for an SnS attachment

heres the bot and the armour is steel 10

playzooki · « **Reply #109 on:** August 07, 2015, 03:29:59 PM »

you dont need all that side and back armour plates, the ai only attacks with the front. the top armour isnt that necessary since most successful rammers dont have top armour plates

Reier · « **Reply #110 on:** August 07, 2015, 03:31:00 PM »

playzooki you do need side armor on this because its a narrow bot and it will get flanked

helloface · « **Reply #111 on:** August 07, 2015, 03:33:21 PM »

If you use only the center attachment or the two side attachments on the wedge, it should be a lot better. Also, you don't need St10. Get some external armour of the front of the chassis and more weapons.

what do you mean with wedges part helloface?

Look at the splashes or watch some of the videos from here to see how some of the different kinds of wedges work.

Naryar · « **Reply #114 on:** August 08, 2015, 03:31:17 AM »

You need less armor and more weapons

ecolusian · « **Reply #115 on:** August 08, 2015, 04:57:21 AM »

ill do that stuff but in the meantime have a look at my attempt of an antweight called A N T B O I Z. the armour is plastic 1.

its incredibly unstable for some reason and i dont know why =(

helloface · « **Reply #116 on:** August 08, 2015, 05:04:23 AM »

I don't know how, but you managed to make an AW underweight. Isn't the limit in Ironforge 75 for AWs?

cephalopod · « **Reply #117 on:** August 08, 2015, 05:27:56 AM »

Yeah, and you're using a tread motor for a wheel.

Naryar · « **Reply #118 on:** August 08, 2015, 05:32:48 AM »

also why is it not invertible

ecolusian · « **Reply #119 on:** August 08, 2015, 05:38:25 AM »
