Earlier tonight I threw together a quick, proof of concept "Pile Off Parts" model of the IRL combat robot I am building (12 or 30 pounds, it could go either way, not sure), showing off the wheels, saw blade, etc.

The black/brown thingy under the blade is a cardboard and plastic strut I built to keep the blue tub lifted off of the blade to give a better sense of what it might look like when it is built. The odd looking sheets on the wheels are sander pads thrown on as a design feature. Of course the wheels will also be lower in the back, which will make the chassis higher, so I will have to find a way to keep the blade from scraping the floor (probably with some kind of cardboard or wood strut.)

[Badnik96]

Surely you won't use a saw on the actual robot right?

Other than that it doesn't look bad, a little unconventional, but definitely not a horrible design.

Cool looking saw > Boring bar


Besides saws do well in sportsman classes.

Made a list of rare thrash digs I found on youtube. All are good, I've listened to each at the behest of my buddy KILL on Sputnikmusic (no relation to the one we have here since he's a brit). I've put a star next to my prefered tracks:

Kill’s and my own Thrash Recs:

 Obliveon (*)

 Assorted Heap

 Cyclone

 Torture

 Despair

 Leeway

 Protector (*)

 Thought Industry (*)

  Hexenhaus (*)


 Aversion

 Vendetta

 Epidemic

 Deathrow

 Depressive Age (*)

 Atrophy

 Realm

 Aspid (*)

 Exumer

 Believer

 Deathrow (*)

 Stone

 Razor (*)

 Devastation

 Anacrusis (*)

 Carnivore

 Cyclone Temple (*)

  Hirax (*)

 Mortal Sin (*)

 Sacrificer (*)

Some thrash educated peeps may recognize a few of these.

Whatever you do please name it no strings attached...

Originally it was going to be a finalized, smaller version of what I had going on here (name included)
http://buildersdb.com/botdetails.asp?eventid=&BotID=9047
But I think you might have just changed my mind.

Also that POP shot of the original "TweakMaster" is pretty outdated, since I got rubber wheels, attached a wedge to the larger chassis, made a baseboard for it, etc. If I end up using the blue tub I don't know what I'll do with it though...the other set of wheels are on something else now, I could prolly take them off...

Seriosuly, SCP-087-b is scary. Slender is not.

[Jamin]

and yet just a few minutes after making my post, I find a better choice of armor



Might end up being in the 12 pound class from the looks of it...I dunno maybe I should actually order my electronics now 

Also, whats up with the buildersdb? I changed the pic to this one yet it doesn't show...

Well I just checked and someone deleted it. No one really cares about RA2 outside of these forums dude.

[Jamin]

It's not really that no one cares, its a completely irrelevant and useless fact for that wiki. Not to mention Mako's builder never even said where he got the name from.


So don't go and spam our sh** places where it doesn't need to be.

^THIS^
scproetdrptodrpt 9059304583405 isn't scary IMO, but playing Slender in complete darkness and headphones on full volume is.
