Doesn't look too bad. Though I'm guessing Sage knows what he's talking about better than I do. =)

I put mine on MegaUpload, 'cause I couldn't get the gmail to work. But for BBEANS 7, we could just start the sequence over again.

I'd quite like to enter, but if there's no room left, then I guess it's alright. =)

I tried that, but two problems came up. The first was that the front wedge prised the robot off the ground, so it was kinda stop-start movement as it bounced around a bit with the small contact patch, and it also put the robot on exactly 800.0 weight, which for some reason isn't allowed. So shinies it was.

Okay, I've had a look at Altitude IV, I've taken on everybody's advice, and I built this bot in the Starcore AI Pack 3.0. Only real weakness is horizontal spinners, but it is capable of one-hit knockouts, though it sometimes takes a few more hits to get the job done. 4 HP Z-Teks 2 DDTs 3 BlackVolts (2 Stacked) 16 Razors DSA And snappers for the wedge. Also self-righting, unless it gets perched at a slightly obscure angle on the side and the corner of the front ram plate assembly.

Oh, DSA armour. And the top ramplate was put there to try and stop Jabberwock and his infuriating razor hammer weapon. Which works. Sometimes. Normally I just lop his wheels off. =)

Been busy on Starcore 3, after losing to Rebel 2 quite a lot, due to my poor frontal wedge assembly. But I reckon I've sorted it now, and I've got the fourth incarnation of Altitude. =) Kudos to whoever gave me the hint about using Iron Spikes instead of Strips, by the way.  This machine is now capable of three, or even two-hit KO's. Just has a little trouble self-righting if it's overturned. 2 BlackVolts (Couldn't stack them for some reason) 4 DDTs 2 HP-ZTeks 20 Iron Spikes

To be honest, if anyone's going to get pwn'd in the first round, it's probably me. Partly because my bots are kind of at the halfway stage, but mostly because I very rarely use DSL. XD I just built something that did alright against some of the LW bots in the pack.

The two baseplates are to get the Snappers pointing upwards, so they rotate horizontally. And I tried putting a BlackVolt in there, but it just wouldn't fit, so I had to use seven pinks. It is quite underpowered, it uses around half its power in a minute, but it smashes up the other bots pretty well enough to compensate.

Thanks. =) Is there anything I can improve on with this one?

Trying something different here, a brief foray into the realms of snapper loading. Seven pinks in there, six of them are double stacked so it only looks like four (I know they're rubbish, nothing else would fit), two Snapper Burst Motors, two regular ZP's for the drive, and two HPZP's for the weapons. Also DSA.  EDIT: Okay, when I took the Print Screens for that picture, Robot Arena crashed, so I had to build the whole bot again, from scratch. But now I have, it turns out it's also invertible. Just. It does run upside down, with the maces basically brushing the floor, which is good for taking out mini wheels, I suppose. XD MORE EDIT: Another couple of tweaks to the bot. Stuck a caster on the back to keep the spinners angled downwards at the front for more damage, and undoubtedly the best improvement I could have possibly given this robot...  A smiley face.

I've signed up. Probably get owned, but what the  . XD

That's kind of the thing with my bots, they're probably not the most efficient machines out there, but they look cool. XD
And just a heads up, I've entered BBEANS 6. I'll upload some pics of my bot once the tournament starts. =)

Yeah, it's out of date, but I like using the stock stuff, even if nobody else does.

It might look underpowered, although I have got two stacked Blackvolts in there, as well as a couple of pinks. I know they're considered worse than useless, but it was better than leaving it as empty space. And the square is more or less the right length, so I have the ram plate right on the top of the bot.

I really like that bot...I couldn't make anything like that. XD

Yeah, I did draw some inspiration from that particular bot. But the motors are pretty much fine, they don't get knocked off that easily...

I probably should put some weapons on Altitude. I had a spike strip on the back, but I removed them because someone told me to. XD Here's an improvement (hopefully) of Cyclone, after reading a few more of Beetlebros. hints and such. The snowplows are there mostly for stablilty when turning, and the front wedge is mounted on a servo, originally because a Snapper2 Burst Motor wouldn't fit between the Baseplate Anchors, but I've since discovered that it can, somehow, lift bots into the main weapon!

Doesn't look too bad. Does the spinner actually hit the bot, 'cause I think it might only hit the spikes. Maybe it's just the pic, though. =)
