I'm guessing then that adding battery power increases the output of the motors?  Because 1 ant has barely enough battery supply to power 2 astroflights.

Nice!

I have a feeling you'll do well; I don't think my entry can beat that.

Do you really need two ants for that though?

But I've already built something like a Mako clone, I just don't want to showcase it because... well... you'll see in September.

*sigh* Please use proper English, at least around me.  
They're actually pretty effective, and don't get torn off easily, but apparently some people just have to object to them.
They're better than they look, so shut up!

Why is it that no one likes my rear stabilizers?!

Meh, my bot's more of a joke bot anyway.  I'd be surprised if I got past the first round.

I tried that halfsheet setup, but the halfsheets were intersecting the wheels.  I could try the setup again, but I'm lazy.

I also tried using flipper segments on versions before, but the wedge sucked:angry:.

I would love to take your advice Pwn, but I'm afraid it might not be as good as the current version.

DP!

Did some tinkering with Torrential Upbringing; the result: Torrential Upbringing 1.2:

Better weight distribution=better wedge=better gutripping power=


The insides remain unchanged, however.

Thanks!

I couldn't find a better way to attach the drive motors, so I went with the flipper segments (I suck with extenders:oops:).

And I wanted to angle the Perm so the weapon would have the lowest reach.

I took your advice, and it turned out good, maybe better than the 1st version:

Wow... three updates on 1 page.
It's now invertible (somewhat) and the weapon seems to be more powerful (but less durable, of course).  Hypnos didn't have a big enough diameter though, so I used the DSL wheels.

• 4 ants and 1 battlepack
• 3mm titanium

I just realized it wasn't realistic after all:angry:.  Here is the newer version:

Different armor and wedge setup as well as an additional ant battery.

And R0B0, can I trust you to give me advice while Nary's away?  To receive advice to get better was one of the reasons I started this showcase.

It doesn't go through anything significantly enough to be unrealistic.

And I have a few questions (may or may not be serious):

What weapons in DSL have/don't have normals?

What happened to Jules?

Do you like pie?

I know that I don't have to worry about originality at this point, but with Clickbeetle and other experienced members taking all of the ideas before others get to try them, How will I be able to develop my own style later on?

Still, thank you for the support!

Edit:

Nah, quite a few HW pop-ups are built without wedges.

Quite a few?  Then what the is up with the BBEANS5 entries?

Thanks SD!

So, does that mean that I'm still not original?

Unrealistic.  Rotate the snappers 180 degrees, and use razor tips instead of spike strips if you want to deal more damage.

DP, as well as update:

It's still underpowered though.  Any suggestions?

Is that a wammer?  It doesn't look like it has enough weapons (I'm guessing that's a middleweight).

And for wheel armor, I would try those side panels for shell spinners.
