Also Kentehz isn't Sys32, it's my girlfriend Edith.

NOTE: I didn't ask her to register here so don't flame me :<

Well I hope she had fun while it lasted.  :gawe:

Set it up like this:

Then you will be able to add more spikes with all the saved weight.  Nothing wrong with carbon fiber extenders if they are in your chassis.  Hopefully it wont be too tall though.

I was single for Valentines Day as well, but as many said, it is nothing but a commercial holdiay anyway.

The best part of being single?


TOGETHER ALONE

I loled... and den I loled again.  XD

It is a very realistic racing simulator.  I signed up this past week and I gotta say it is pretty intense. I've been waiting for a decent sim like this to come around.

I like the use of the Behemoth scoop.  Did you plan on using that from the beginning?

My original goal was to use the Overkill Wedge and shock everyone... but it was too heavy to be really practical for my build.  The scoop became a really suitable alternative. It certainly has not broken off in any of the testing that I have done.  It compliments the metal hinge wedge rather nicely.

Lulz. If you had said please I would have made the awesomest replica you would have ever seen.

You did not pass the test.  :p

Beaters on top of DSL bars are a waste of weight. Remove them, add 2 moar ants.

And these are not hypnos...

Gah!!!! Technos... I meant to type Technos.

And yeah, you are right.  I put the beaters on there because the maces cut through the DSL bars making the setup unrealistic.  However, now that I look at it again... I think I can rotate the DSL bars 90 degrees and ditch the beaters.  Will take care of that ASAP.

Don't use a multi extender to attatch th PA wedge on the back, Use aluminum or titanium extenders.

Got it! I was being lazy there because the other extenders were too fat to wedge in between the drive motors... I will fix that.  :D

Nah use grippier wheels.

And really that weapon setup *ahem* *cough*... i know it's for cool looks but it is quite messy. Try discs.

Thanks! I will try to find better wheels for the setup.

Actually, I started with discs and went with this design because I get 4 Mounting points per arm.  The weight comparison seems to be comparable.  The other thing that I like is each arm has its own DP and it is nearly impossible to knock off all the weapons.  With a disc, the bot could/would lose all its weapons in one sweep if the disc is knocked off.  After a bunch of testing, I rather like setting it up this way.   Oh, and it is surprisingly stable as well. One arm can get knocked off and it still spins rather well.  I weapon-spammed the heck out of each arm at first, but then didn't have enough weight for efficient drive after, but there is a lot of potential (IMHO).  I appreciate your feedback though!  You still are the king.

Give it a shot naryar, you would be surprised how efficient it is.

Drop walls?

Also, feel free to test in the arena with BTTB AI.

Yeah, doesn't the twisted arena have walls that drop down do bots can fall over the edge? (or am I thinking about Clash Cubes?...)  I guess I should go check out videos from the last BTTB and find out. :D

Thanks for your feedback. Should I shoot for 4 wheel drive? Or are there more efficient motors that I am overlooking?  I don't want the bot to be super-fast because GK's Twisssssted arena has drop walls right?  Thanks again.  Will try to work on it this weekend.

Preliminary design for BTTB tourney. Still working on ways to save weight to boost the armour.  Any feedback is cool.

I would put somebody in charge of the player that knows your new music, but they would have to have access to my FTP and that ain't gonna happen, also they would have to be admin, and that ain't very likely either.
 
I will look into other players that work better and not so damn hard to load.

Ah, cool. Thanks for looking into it. I appreciate that.
