I'm assuming no one has anything to say about my last bot, so I'm going to move on.  Here's Disembowelment, my LW popup:


  • Reversible angle motors with shiny hub wheels
  • 1 supervolt
  • 4 razors on a snapper2
  • Snapper II wedge
  • For armor, castors and either plastic or DSA (I can't remember which one, probably the latter)


It has a very powerful weapon, but it's not very fast or wedgy.  The castor armor was to defend against HS, but it only proved to be a waste of weight and wouldn't allow opponents to climb up on the wedge.  The wheels are exposed as well.

Snooping as usual I see Naryar?

Well here you go anyway: the new Crosswind.  The inside was left pretty much the same, the outside however...


Improvements:
  • 4 Vlads on 4 drive E-teks
  • 4 60kg sledgehammers
  • Flipper segments and DSL bars for armor

Spins faster and just as stable as the first one, but it's much less durable.  It can also fight better in arenas with low walls because of the decreased weapon diameter.  Though the top and bottom are pretty vulnerable if reached.  I also feel more like a ripoff artist because S32 entered something exactly like it in CC2.

I could get rid of a couple of those batteries, but I wouldn't know what to do with the remaining weight.

And Sage, thanks for clearing that up.  I just felt that this bot was really unoriginal.

For your first question: Yes

For your second question:  DSA stands for double-strength aluminum.  You get it by ignoring the armor menu in the botlab.  It's very effective in stock, but sucks in DSL.

Those drive motors are actually Astroflights.  

Reduce the empty space and also make the tribar smaller.  You can use the leftover weight to add another ant battery and maybe switch to slimbody motors for drive instead.

I actually don't know what the current version of Pinball looks like.  I just know that this bot was inspired by Pinball.

I really don't want to showcase this bot.  Sage and Naryar, you have permission to kill me.  Still, here's one of my best HWs, Crosswind:



  • Techno Destructo wheels on drive E-teks
  • 8 ant batteries
  • 4 70kg hammerheads
  • 5mm titanium


Strengths:
  • Heavily armored
  • Durable weaponry
  • Remains fairly stable even after losing a weapon head

Weaknesses:
  • Pinball ripoff
  • Doesn't spin as fast as some SnS
  • Gets launched over walls easily
  • Underpowered by about 10 amps


It does well but ultimately loses in arenas with low walls.  It's quite resistant to wedges for a SnS. It can thus beat all of the DSL HWs (with Pon2n being an exception, for obvious reasons), but I'm pretty sure its performance against other bots will change when the Nar AI pack comes out.  It's still an excellent bot and I love driving it.

I'm pretty sure that it has enough battery supply to swing that much weapon mass, so I'm not too worried.

I had no other options, so I decided to take Sage's advice:


7 ant batts and 2 battlepacks.  5mm Titanium.

Hooray for battery and armor overkill!

Then can I say that I hate Ribbs now for confusing me?

Read the thread: "Mythbusters: RA2 Edition" and go to page 8.

Unfortunately, thanks to Ribbs' recent discovery, half of my primary team's robots (signature team, actually) have been put on hiatus.  Here's one of the few robots that remain: Devil's Rosebush:

Your average 36-Mace, Including:
-DSA
-Servo-mounted weaponry
-HPZ drive with shiny hub wheels
-2 Supervolts

I've built other 36-mace HSs; this one's quite outdated, but still pretty good.

Yes, Somebody, It is using DSA.  I'm also seeing a lot of people with SCv4 but it doesn't appear to be on Starcore's website available for download.

Where do I get it?  I'm confused:?.

Taka, read Naryar's posts in the previous page.

@ Naryar:  It is, but strangely, none of the SC3 MWs can knock it clean off, not even Praetorian or Ad-Aware.

@ Sage:  Pyscolone may be right.  Even with just 6 razors, it has been able to KO most of the SC3 Middleweights with no more than 4 hits, and Fury, Ultraviolet, and Meteor have been OHKOed by it as well.  It still can't beat Octomini Xtreme though...

You were right.  I didn't really need that smartzone, but what if I want to AI it or if it needs to be AIed?

Rubbers are 5 kilos heavier than shinies, so it will weigh 400 kgs and no longer be a middleweight
