Done:  It now has 14 ant batteries and a 40x160 DSL bar at the back. Chassis armor is the same as the first. Its performance in battle hasn't changed much. Now for two bots that I built in October but for some reason didn't showcase:  3 ants, 5mm plastic, normal NPCs. This is Iron Tumbleweed VII. It has an improved weapon and more chassis protection, at the cost of a decreased width. This means it's now more specialized towards being an anti-wedge bot and stands less of a chance against HSs.  5mm plastic, 3 ants, 12 irons on an E-Tek. This was more of a for-fun design, but once I put it into the arena I was surprised at how deadly it was: It destroyed Razorback 3 and Major Uproar. If I ever get around to fully optimizing it I will get rid of that useless extender on the right (I don't know what I was thinking at the time), and give it better drive. I will NOT give it different weapons. Other weapons I tried did not work as well with this design.

Better?
Yep. You can switch to wide ant wheels since you have enough weight for them. Compared to the wheels it has now, they're tougher and have more grip, meaning your bot will move faster.

Not bad. I would raise the motor up so the weapon doesn't cut through the wheels. Also, last time I checked, tribars aren't that great because they're weak. Use a DSL bar instead.

Oh Christ Skyrim took more of my time than I thought.Anyway, after B4ttlebots I made a vow to myself that I wouldn't build IRL bots again. ...yeah it didn't take very long to break that :P I've decided to give IRL building another try, mainly because I wanted to resurrect my showcase before the year ended and because "normal" DSL building is dead for me. Also I think I need to relearn what real bots look like. So I would appreciate some help in building true IRL bots, though I may or may not need some for this next bot, which is also a bit of a tribute bot, Nouvelle Cruauté:  8 NPC fasts/Technos, 8 ants, 5mm titanium, 4 40x200cm DSL bars. One  of a pusher, if you couldn't figure that out one your own. Surprisingly it can stand up to a couple wedges as well. I think its pretty realistic, apart from there being nothing at the back that can provide support for the bars. I think I should drop the top and bottom armor altogether to make room for a plow or something at the back.

That thing's amazing... I don't know what else to say! Also, happy birthday.

I like this idea, and I'll gladly send a team. Now who should I team up with...?

No surprise that Infestation won the prelim. round, but I didn't think I would win against it myself!
I'm confident I will win my next match, because unlike Redalgo, 8Rec can self-right and isn't bouncy due to using a skirt hinge. I think I'll fall at the semi-final though, If I'm up against Bully, but I might make it to the final if I face Drumbledore.

*sees splash and brackets*
I'm starting to think I shouldn't have even bothered entering.

I feel bad now that I've stolen your spot. Your bots deserve to be in B4ttlebots way more than mine do.

I've read the first two books and enjoyed them, and I'm currently reading the third. I'm not sure what to think of the movie after I watched the trailer, but I'm still going to see it.

I plan to enter a LW and a MW. I might send a HW and SHW if I come up with something decent.

It doesn't matter to me what positions the bots will start in. I'm still going into battle against a wall and two wedges that I can't do significant damage to with less than half my weapons and no defenses left. I'm not going to win this. On the bright side, I'll still get an award for being the Technical Winner.

I can't believe it: I pulled it off, I'm in the grand final!
Good job to my opponents. Your bots fought well, shame they couldn't have gone farther.
Thankfully I still have 4 wheels, but how will I do now that I no longer have wheel protection and 1/2 of my weapons?

Just did a search for Ice Tornado, and wouldn't you know it, my bot is in the first 15 results in Google images. In other news, look who just returned:

It's a pretty decent bot, but 10mm plastic is overkill. If you drop it to 5mm plastic (which is lighter but just as strong), you can use the weight on wheels with higher grip, more external armor, or more weapons.

That is very strange, but somehow I really like it. It looks like The Ounce's birthday cake =P

You did a good job, but it's not as realistic without the gap. Doesn't seem as wide as mine either.
That said I'm curious as to how you got weight for more armor, because yours weighs about the same as mine.

OK WTF, why did I have to be put against him?!
