I'm back, now, with a whole slew of new robots! Lets hear some critique!
With my last set of bots I was unaware of DSA armor. I fell in love; all of these bots have DSA!
Axcessive
Super fun hammer bot. Perhaps a bit slow, and once you've outmaneuvered this bot in any way your chances of winning are high. If you're cornered and can't move: you lose. A considerable upgrade from my previous Axe Smasher.
Max Power
Again, a super fun flipper bot. Not very powerful (even for a flipper), but quick and armored (plows).
Who else loves plows? Plows are great and big.
Old Razor
These pneumatic/weapon-covered bots seem to be the most powerful I have seen. Weapon-covered HSes seem to be quite damaging, but in another sense.
If this bot had some nice wedges in front, what bot type would defeat it?
Spike Entanglement
I hope you can see the parts: 6 Z-teks, 4 HP Z-teks, a stacked 12 volt, and lots of spikes. The spikes take a while to start spinning rapidly, but once they are whirling this bot will deal a lot of damage, for a long time. Hard to flip (cool).
Uh... is this bot actually effective? I'm just not sure...
Yellow Horned Beetle
A new lightweight bot of mine. Pretty strong but could likely be reworked in many ways.
Who else loves externalizing motors and weapons?!
Venom Snap
An interesting middleweight which deals an OK amount of damage. I wish and expected this weapon setup to be more effective, but the bot is cool anyway.
True Miner
This is a pretty strong spinner guy. Nice weight and nice number of weapons. Rather simple design and rather effective. I think I stacked a 12 volt in there...
Venom Driller
Super fun, balanced, and effective middleweight. Zooms around and has a good number of weapons.
Do you think those weaker motors were good ideas? Is motor stacking worth my time anyways? I found that True Miner's weapon setup is simply more effective.
Arrowhead
This is likely my most powerful robot. Super fast and high-damaging. Really fun to smash robots with this guy. Stacked a 12 volt.
Question: is this (the popup) the most powerful robot design in general? Once I outmaneuver and get under almost any robot it feels like this robot (type) cannot be beat.
Synwisp
Likely my most powerful middleweight. Again, really fun, fast, and damaging.
I felt like I may have been wasting lots of weight with the ultra-long chassis, but I decided to ignore my concern after demolishing some stock robots.
And that's that!
I had some fun using the Antimatter Neutron Star Piece, but that idea got boring fast.
And, after getting smashed by the Starcore AI Pack V3, I decided just before this post to test out the V1 pack; wish me luck!
Thanks for reading and being patient with all these damn bots. It's been an intense time building. Happy building
