Probably the most interesting WS in my collection- uses an offset spinner to vibrate around the arena. It moves very slowly.

*NOTE* This isn't a 100% WS. It's just good enough to earn the title of one.

I. chassis adjusted as shown.

II. weapon motor is up as high as possible. Baseplate anchors have 20 deg. angle connectors on them and 80 cm. steel blades.
The 2 blades at the front are on a 45 deg. angle connector and the blades are 40 cm.

III. Sledgehammers on a disk work best. Steel blades provide protection.

IV. Add some armor to the underside.

V. weapon motor spins clockwise. Other wiring is the same.

VI. DONE!

If WS didn't get any tinier, they just did!
I. chassis adjusted as shown. It's at the minimum height.

II. weapon motor mount is up 3 notches. Ninja Star is optional. You can put on whatever weapon you wish.

III. Baseplate anchor up 3 notches for dark plate. steel spike assembly for stability.
 
Se3.bmp


IV. Wiring- same as always. drive motor spins counterclockwise and weapon motor spins clockwise.

V. DONE!

Aren’t wandering spinners supposed to have one wheel or something

not always! they just have to be able to move forward and bounce off walls!

Anyway,
segment of a TINY multibot. Weighs 1/3 of a typical LW, but has 3/4 of the damage potential.

Shell spinner. Good at absorbing solid hits.

**beep beep**  ALERT- lots of reboots coming in tomorrow...

no offense but its really not

we just don't get what the point is when you can make something better with wheels easily
there isn't a point to have a robot ricochet off walls uncontrollably especially when you're not actually using the extra weight gained from less drive to make a better weapon. you're wasting a ton of weight on inefficient weapon setups, tons of batteries and 10mm armor when you could just add another drive motor and overall come out way ahead of your Roomba.

we're trying to help, seriously. just listen for once. i've played this game for 14 years. i know what i'm talking about. you have the potential to be a great builder but these little passive aggressive comments you constantly do dismissing others' opinions is keeping you from getting there. Not that some other members are being paragons of maturity either, but please. listen.

Sorry. I know you're trying to help. I know you're way more experienced than I am, and I respect that.

Roomba.

...That's the name for this WS!

Okay. I don't think many of you fully understand Wandering Spinner science.

It's complicated.

1008
Oh, and it's wired correctly.

1009
This is just a regular HS that you didn't wire correctly.

You can wire a regular HS to become a Wandering Spinner...if it WORKS (sorry for caps).

Also, wiring this HS normally will make it a pain in the butt to drive. This is because I tried normal controls. I wasn't able to aim it. Wandering spinners don't need steering. The spinner does it for them.

Wandering Spinner HS with 2 wheels

1. chassis as shown.
 
screenshot_10.bmp


2. RC motors are up 1 notch. All baseplate anchors are up 2 notches.
 
screenshot_11.bmp


3. How the weapon mount's assembled- 100 cm. tribar>1 cm. dark extender>small disc>motor.
 
screenshot_12.bmp


4. Use whatever weapons you wish.
 
screenshot_13.bmp


5. Wiring is the same as always. Weapon and left drive motor rotate clockwise, right drive motor rotates counterclockwise.
 
screenshot_14.bmp



*NOTE- if your bot just starts havoking, just spins in place, or lacks traction and stability, you can switch out the disks for mini wheels.

Wandering Spinner that uses mini wheels for locomotion.

5 mm. Titanium.

Why's this new bot a wandering spinner? because it hops in a straight line and it will deflect off walls.

The nature of this bot is to use off-center spinners to cause it to "hop" around. The spinners are studded with weapons to inflict damage, but the struts are the main weapons on this bot.

1. chassis made and adjusted as shown.
 
screenshot_6.bmp


2. self-explanatory.
 
screenshot_7.bmp


3. Long steel blades are ideal. I used the longest ones available.
 
screenshot_8.bmp


4. wire it. One motor spins clockwise, the other spins counterclockwise. Use the largest smartzone possible, and wire the controls shown to spin the motors in the same direction.

5. Customize it, add 10 mm. Titanium, and done!

It's always a good idea to fill your bot with armor. I've been owned by VS that attack the top. I destroyed many VS with this new design. You never know what type of bot you will be fighting...

Perhaps the shell spinner is really a cage spinner?

Anyway, wandering spinner that uses VIBRATION to hop around.

pretty sure youre overweight for shw, cut down the chassis armor and those backwards facing plows and see if you can't get it to 600

How's it a superheavyweight?
because we told you like 4 times that the weight classes in ironforge are different than in other mods
it says right on the loading screen

LW - 125
MW - 200
HW - 400
SHW - 600
but you can add up to 4 ballasts (200) on top of any of them and it won't count to the weight limit

Oh. Thank You. That means some of my HW are SHW.

I was basing it off of other bots like Clickbeetle's that are LW. and weigh 220 kg.

New Bot.

It...Is...DANGEROUS. (and overweight.)

There are 8 blades on each hammer, plus flamethrowers. It's VERY well-defended.

Funny fact- it has a spiked "tail" that it can whip around. It also serves as a stabilizer.
