Orc's Wars Series 2 - 49/96 entries!
« Reply #120 on: January 30, 2018, 07:06:05 AM »
5.   No more than 1 Beta Burst/Motor, 2 VDMA R/P Bursts/VDMA Front Hinged/Storm Burst on your robot (depending on which one you choose, don’t mix and match).

I was thinking of making a 4 bar lifter (like Storm 2 or Biohazard), by using a Storm Burst and a VDMA. Would that be allowed? as it would technically be mixing and matching
I thought I'd better ask before I started building

I'd say use a larger VDMA for the bottom one and a smaller VDMA for the top one, asked Roboteer about it and he did that for one bot and used 2 Wide Medium VDMAs for another! Hope this helps!

Anyway, hello all! Sorry for the radio silence but I've been busy sorting through entries that people have sent me...good grief we got a lot! I've had little to no issues with robots and for those I have had issues with, I've contacted the builders to let them know that they need to make changes!

List of robots so far:

So we have 49 entries already, this leaves 47 entries to go! For those of you who have submitted 3 entries already, you'll have to wait for next week to enter anymore (if we get that far!) and if you haven't entered the max of 3, you're able to do so until next week!

Thanks for the clarification I couldn't really get it to work with a storm burst anyway
Also I'm gunna send you an updated version of Big Cat (sorry to be a pain) but I changed the skin so it doesn't look like arse now. I'll send it when I get home :)

I will just say that we have a lot (I mean A LOT) of spinners so far...hm.

In other news, this gives us 71 entries! Only 25 spots left open....although I may have to do something about all the spinners I have/will receive. :really_makes_you_think:

I'll make sure to counter that. How many of each bot type are there so far? Would like to make something a bit different.

So weapon distribution right now as some people have asked: 14 flippers, 47 spinners, 6 axes, 2 rammers/pushers and 2 clamps. If you do enter, thanks for keeping this in mind Mouldy! :mrgreen:

Some more entries!

Jamie took out Definitely Not PP3D and entered a new bot as seen above, which is why we have the number 71 appearing again...REGARDLESS: 78 entries out of 96 maximum...which means there are 18 spots left! If you haven't entered anything yet or haven't used up all your spots and want to do either, now would be a good time to do so! :mrgreen:

Not really new builds from my part but mainly improvements of previous machines.

Ryu 2 is the classic 4WD pusher with a spine which is turned into a fronthinged like flipper weapon
Forward to Death 2 had a wider wedge, better drive, and a more powerfull weapon
R4 is the latest in the Rejector series.
