can I ask what you mean by that ?

I have a feeling rumble format confused CF, you can see it fighting correctly against the winner in the closing seconds, didnt fair to well with multiple targets. o well at least im trying new things :-D


With CombatAnt immobilized you wouldn't have to worry about CF getting eliminated from the competition, as 1st to 3rd go through, though 1st gets that boost into Round 3. Yeah, it doesn't exactly have the control for a rumble. Well, kind of, but not for point scoring in 1 minute rounds.

Actually, the reason you got unders Reds wedges was because your wedges were longer, not because they were any wedgier.

Hmm, is that just it? That's worrying.. am always taking a full defensive option rather then sticking the wedge out so far.

The arena is great and all, but those starting positions.. not good for promoting all bot types, even less then other tourneys.

A fair result for my match though.

Anyone notice that it states no where in the rules that the bot must follow the rules of realism?


With the very tournament name acronym translating to "In Real Life", I think that's a given.

I was going to try and build a real flipper (pistons and hinges) but its proves more difficult then I thought lol

Yeah, piston flippers are hard... maybe impossible in stock (atleast competently) , but with a Storm pistom, maybe a little doable in DSL...

Now THAT is an arena. Let's just hope the flame grills aren't as much of a trap as they were in the actual Clawtop. Well, to our low-ground clearance bots anyway.

Well, I got my entry now. It's not perfect, but it does work well.

Not that exciting.

If CF puts in that kind of performance again it's not going to last any longer. Lucky CombatAnt was counted out - a sort of safety net.

I'm not sure what your goal was, but those are very generic HSes that are quite obsolete looking.


So SC4 (and it's killers) is obsolete before it even came out?

Dunno about the Nifty for the MW... but they both look OK.


Granted, they do have a bit of a power problem- but then that leaves blaring questions as to how Fury and Tempus get so much leftover weight. Well, Tempus does have plastic armor but that shouldn't save the required 14kg for a Supervolt.. because it sure moves more but loses less (power)


Quote from: Sage;78516
Why did you do the extenders the way you did for the weapon on the MW? Are they not more exposed that way?


Like having plows raised one level of elevation for a level posture. Couldn't do that so a compromise was made. As for how effective the snowplow is exposed.. well... the MW hasn't lost yet, other then being out-weaponed (twice by Fury, nothing else)

thats great.

i can never make multibots as i usually make my robots heavyweight.


Nah, they're not multibots.

They're just two different weight class bots using one setup.

Well.. I'm irritated over how everything in this era of stock spinner building looks the same. Hell, almost to the point it almost HAS to.

So... here I'll be recycling a tried-and-tested formula, with a recycled name you'll see in the very first bot in my showcase-



Here's a pair that use the completely same setup and chassis - RAD drive, nifty and a snapper at the back. They manage to go upside down too - dunno how many others like this will.

Wow...redline even when your starting playing your better at building pop-ups then me (my first is UB) *sadface*

Oh-ho no, that's not when I started playing. Was around for a year before then... atleast.

Signed up here for BBEANS 2, the official forums were still around and all.

Can't we just make a 'pre-stacked' black or something, and make it a legal component in stock? Like just the same batteries with double the weight/power


Depends if Click wants to give up one of his BBEANS prizes. (Yeeep)

A rites of passage for stacking? Haha... you guys must be clueless how easy it'd be to fake it.
