War Striker. I'm no tyler when it comes to outside armour but I'm proud of this. I did say mainly jokebots...
Loads of power, and the flipper motor is a Beta burst.
Is it good?

That really doesn't look bad at all. If I were making it I would take away the long skirt on the flipper and replace it with a more Panic Attack/Vlad -esque two pronged flipper, and I'm not sure I like the extender on the very top but otherwise I really like the design. Do something more interesting with the skin as well (you knew it was coming :P).
Overall it's far better than your other bots, IMO, and I really quite like it.

Looks a bit ugly, but if the panels were the same colour, It would be much better. Right now it is reminding me of Newcastle United and that isnt a good thing. Still, the flipper is designed well.
Also the skin colour is a little ugly.

Never ever say these words. EVER! I support Middlesbrough (with a season ticket)
I'll try to make it the same :)

I understand the skirt flipper looking bad, but it was a case of much rule 7 :'( The extended is to help self righting and the skin... I was never good at that :D

If you want me to try give it a cool skin then feel free to send it to me. I've got a case of builders block at the moment so I'm out of things to skin, and it's making me bored.

So, I'm thinking of making a new IronForge tournament. I'll make a topic on the multi-entry page but here are two robots for it that I'll be entering:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8629Smid.PNG)
It's called I Saw You, and yes, a mockery of Smidsy. I know what your thinking "why make a look-a-like" but all will be clear soon.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2292ddd.jpg)
My second and probably better robot, Atomic Fusion. Loads of poer in the flipper and a fast robot in itself. Beware.

Sure, feel free, I still don't have any robots to skin. In future you can just PM me rather than post here though. Maybe I should put that in my sig or something.

@jaydee bot looks kinda odd to me. Not sure what I think of it. Can we get a back view of it?

If it were its own robot I'd accept that, but in a tournament based around rebuilding Robot Wars bots, it makes little sense to give it a theme the original robot didn't.

Newcastle are Middlesbrough's rivals (toon raider is based around Newcastle FC, this is themed around it's rivals). As I support them, I thought it fitting to do a rival robots to steal the identity. It's about the same shape, i'll probably take the back part off and improve the flipper.

Really don't like how visually the massive flipper is held onto the bot with a tiny support onto the Beta. Why not put flipper segments on top of the top ones so it looks like its connected with segments, not just the Beta?

Not at all. The beta burst is a little OP but it's what happens if you don't anchor the bot down. Hence why I spam the batteries!
It got pinned on it's back when I tested it out (I drove it forwards and flipped it, which it toppled itself)
Title: Re: Jaydee's PROUD (Professional Robots of Undermining Destruction) Illuminati I-F
Post by: Naryar on February 02, 2015, 03:11:33 PM
Beta burst is not exactly OP. It's good to be sure but it needs a hilariously high amounts of amps to work welll and it also is rather big and heavy, therefore needing that your bot needs to have a rather tall chassis, which is more or less negative for flippers since flippers need to be less tall to protect themselves from other bots, most notably horizontal spinners and SnS.
