Liked the design too much so I just added some beneficial casters here and there.

One of the best popups I have ever built --- it rapes RPB and NWB 100% every time. You guys are going to hate going against it (;

I assume the arms you used for the razors are already at the 7-part-limit, right?

desafortunadamente.


I mean you could throw another black in there if all else fails.


I could, but the weapon DDTs are already bursted...and I figured I'd spare 30kg on this one towards armor/protection.




..I think I'll try to mount a plow in the middle to protect the "dustpan" walls a bit...and maybe just blades on the wedges.

update y'all!

after a few days of failed rebuilds, I finally have a keeper.

 



I give you Death Switch, the replacement for the original Switch of Death for the next installment of IIAI. Pretty much a finished project, I am really happy with it. Only thing is that it is a tad underweight... I just don't know what to add since I cant stack on any more weapons. That's the only thing that I am really looking for advice wise...what to add with all the weight available.


All components can be seen in the insides shot........3 blacks, not 4.

Anyways, enjoy!

EDIT: wow I reallly messed up the one arm of razors -_- fixed it tho

I was going to suggest something along the lines of this:

*img*

...then I realized you had 4 blacks. >.<

I probably will do something along those lines I guess, if people dont like this setup. With 4 blacks tho, and the snappers rotated 180 degrees.


it looks ugly compared to the old severe imo. is that the widest you can make the wedges in that chassis? i would try out green snapper wedges and see how they work out.


widest with DDTs unfortunately.....going to think about different setup to widen them...


I was going to suggest something along the lines of this:

*img*

...then I realized you had 4 blacks. >.<
personally i would use 2 blacks (1 pair stacked) ...


4 batts = quick 2HKOs bro

Built this the other night. Haven't gotten a chance to post it yet because I've been so busy with spring break baseball.

Future update for Se\/erE (SeVere II)



However, I'm not quite 100% satisfied with it. I mean, it wayyyy out performs the old Se\/ere, but it is just not clean enough for my tastes yet. Retains the same basic components of the old one (4HP drive w/ rubz, 4 blacks, 2DDTs w/4 razors each, lotta caster armor), the big upgrade being DDTs for wedges instead of the sucky blue snappers. However, the wedges aren't wide enough for my taste, and it currently weighs in at 796.4kg. Meaning I have no weight to widen them even by 20cm.

I am interested to hear suggestions from other builders on possible tweaks before I make a final edition w/ skin. I tried to do my best to give a clear look of the insides, but it was very hard to do with the setup I utilized.

FYI, 6kg of extenders for each blue snapper (1 20cm, 1 40cm), and the wedges are on 80cm ones. Also slight AGOD on two of the drive motors, but for some reason it doesn't AGOD  what-so-ever in battle. Wedgy-ness against RPB&NWB is 50/50; not elite but much better than before (mostly due to narrowness).

I'd be interested to see which version is the best by setting them up head to head against each other. I still like v2

148
Well, it's certainly unique

Looks siiiick. Doesn't the guardian razor actually mitigate damage by blocking the other 2 though?

Nope. The new razor setup has a HUGE effect on the durability of the weapons. De-weapons the old Spektrum pretty much 100% of the time, or it destroys it first.

Awesome. I've been thinking how a LW HS would be if all the razors went around that chassis instead of just pointing out, perhaps you could try that out?

*ponders*...

ooo bretty gud, def liking that electric-blue edge line on the skin aswell as the rainbow gradient (or rather, spektum) on the top.

how well does it do against iron/mace/bear claw hs? the razors low HP has always been a turn-off for me when choosing a weapon for my hs

Did well against all the other LW HSes in IIAI v0.1. The guardian razor really helps.

It would rupt better with 1-2 razors on each arm rather than 4.

Do the razors scrape the ground? If so, rotating them 90 degrees might help. IIRC theres a glitch where weapons touching the ground don't do damage.

Nope. Wasn't the razors causing the drive problem; it was the center of the tribar being a little bit lower than the wheels. Fixed it in the update below.

diggin the extender setup, but i dont think its worth flippin the tek for invertibility. low sweeping>

Agreed my man.

Anyways, slightly tweaked the snapper setup as AwesomeSawce recommended. Freed up a tad of weight but not enough to make a significant addition. Added a extender to guard the main extender in the back where the snapper arm is. Drives well now, and seems more deadly actually. Skin added as well.

You could align the razors better (to protect the T) but it looks good regardless.

I unfortunately don't have that extra weight Trov. I did have another bot in my pack similar to Spektrum with the 40cm extenders, and I haven't decided whether or not it will be included into the next update.

As for the way I mounted the motor: I was lazy and did not bother trying a different setup. Pretty stupid of me really... I will probably use something along the lines of what Mr.AS suggested to tweak it a bit.

Aye, updated the Twists of Fate team splash because of the upgrade to Spektrum:

Here's a close up shot.



Debate the upgrade all you want. May not drive perfect now but the weapons are now a lot less fragile and it seems to hit harder. I know the top extender makes the weapon system vulnerable to hammers and whatnot, but idrc. I'm going for my traditional flare here.

EDIT: Dont know why I posted without giving him a nice skin.....I will later after baseball.

Probably with the way you have the piglet mounted from a 90 degree extender. I would lean it forward a bit and move the AP of the extender back more on the chassis and see if it helps.
