Well, if you liked that one. I'm confident that you'll like this even more, I decided to do a themed bot, it's been a while. But I think I have my mojo back xD (I hope~)

Specs:
Pistons are used to 'slither' across the ground while 1 small wheel at the back of the bot is used to turn Nigel around
Powered by 1 Big Battery & 3 Energizers
Titanium 3 armour
It's a rammer! (ish..)

Ha! That's brilliant. Good job man.

I know I was told not to release a bot every day. But this one was sitting in my Bot Garage for ages.

(I might release Nigel the Carnivorous Snail for you lot to play with. Lol, he's not very good)

Anyway, he's another theme-ish bot.

TBH it doesn't really matter unless you don't listen to advice and just spam bots. Flea looks pretty good.

Yeah I know. The main focus was to create a bot under 100kgs. Which I have problem with going over xD

Flea looks pretty cool for what it is.

The snail looks pretty awesome as well.

Thanks dude. You'd be surprised with how many watermarked images of 'flea silhouettes' there are on Google Images.

the beetleweight limit in ironforge is 90kg. still a good bot.

Main aim was to keep it under 100kg. Wasn't intending to make a Beetleweight.

And Nigel the Snail doesn't leave a trail. How realistic were you expecting?

You were told to not release a bot everyday IF you are struggling for ideas

No one prevents you from posting 50 bots per day and nobody forces you to build one per day or week or month or year or decade either. As long as you have the inspiration AND will for it you are free to build and showcase as many as you want.

Cheers. May I ask, what did you think of my newest bots? (99%, Nigel The Carnivorous Snail & Flea)

Leaving trails is impossible in RA2, jumping is.

I like the skins you made on all 3, specially the Flea.
99% has an interesting chassis look though I think the hammer could be a bit longer.
The snail is just one of those original just for fun bots that I'm all too aware about :P
I'm wondering if the top Sickle on the Flea is powered by a burst motor? Also if you aim for just under 100Kg you could add some additional extender work on the front and create a grid like simple armor.

As suggested before, you should add an extra pic with the insides. It will help us a bit more on understanding the bot and on advice

Wanted to try out a tracked bot, as well as to mess about with burst pistons.

Jaydee99 · « **Reply #117 on:** February 10, 2015, 12:10:23 PM »

Looks like Drillzilla, I like it.

Here's a bot jaydee can use for his identity theft tourney thing

Texture makes it look like it's made of wood, hence the name. Also the style of weaponry is basically Splinter's.

Looks like Splinter took 'roids. How's it like for self-righting?
