okay idk how this new attachment system works so forgive me if this looks unorganized

-simplified extender work on the sns, and it gave me weight for bear claws. they last longer, but don't do nearly as much damage. the axles also don't come out anymore, unfortunately
-redid the lw hs. dsa, everything else visible. took a while to get the ba/nifty stack just right, but was worth the wait

DDTs can hold 3-4 and Snapper2s can hold 2-3 (unless you want the flipping power)

-yeah, the hw popup is going for flipping power. also, since there are only 2 razors per ddt, each one fires really fast and since there are 4 ddts, there's no need to worry about a lack of damage. a good run-up usually results in a 1hko. because axle glitch of doom, i'm just sticking with the static setup.
-trying to build a mw chained hs. not entirely sure what i'm doing

I really dig lightning strike

thanks man

so this?

also more rebuilds

new version of cyclonic winds. internals are same as previous

it can do this


made some tweaks to lightning strike. can't decide which one i like more. wedges are about the same for both


scavenger's daughter rebuild. plastic chassis. had an extra 2 kgs to use, so i put an extra extender facing down on the robot to try and help if it runs into any popups

thanks


rebuilt the popup 3 times

last one has more weaponry, but a smaller chassis and a slightly steeper wedge
which one do you think is most effective?

Flextop (hazards off) vs. a pushier thingy.

tbh i think the clawtop might work better, but the idea is noted. thanks

poll so far seems to heavily favor MW so if enough people are opposed to that, vote now because i'll be closing the poll tomorrow. also -

I AM ALSO TAKING SUGGESTIONS FOR OTHER CHALLENGES SO IF YOU HAVE IDEAS GO AHEAD AND LET ME KNOW

just saying

can you shrink protostar's chassis so the plow doesn't need an extender? you should be able to get a 10kg weapon for the breaker

like this? made a new chassis and stacked the snapper in the nifty again. also exostacked the ba

wedgeless popup might need a minimum of bird drive for it to actually slide under bots

preference? first one has the extender for extra armor since idk what else to do with 6 kgs

Building Rules:
-MW Stock 1.4
-No BFE/AAM/Hax Mode/etc.
     -Ro7 break is allowed. All other uses of RA2CF are not
-Bots that have their drive designed to break off and SnS bots are banned.
     -Multibots are now legal, and both parts must be eliminated for an opposing robot to win against them.
-All robots must show controlled movement via at least two powered wheels
-AI parts/140cm extender/blue snapper/etc. are allowed
-No cheatbot2
-After sending your robot to me, you may update it only once, and only before signups close.

Tournament Format:
-1v1, unlike previous tournament
-Unlimited entries (1 bot per person)
-Arena will be a reskinned BBEANS v2 arena with hazards on (same as last tournament)
-3 min time limit
-Before each match, robots will be seeded based on how well they do in a pre-match fight/challenge. This fight will cycle every round between the following:
     -Destroying a SFTW-esque bot
     -Taking on two lightweights
     -Surviving against a heavyweight
     -A sumo match on the clawtop arena (hazards on) against EMERGENCY
Here are the robots being used:

Dummy robot:

Lightweights:

Heavyweight:

All of these kinds of matches will be in the combat arena with hazards off.
-After robots have been seeded, the ones with the lowest rankings will enter the arena first. As each robot is eliminated from a round, the robot with the next lowest seed will enter the battle.
-Each robot starts the tournament with 3 lives
-A robot can earn an extra life by taking out 5 other robots in a single round. Unlike the previous tournament, this can be by any legal means (KO, immobilization, OOTA, WBP, etc.)
-Havok restarts will only be done if the havok explosion is game-changing (as the host, I will determine what is considered game-changing). Any robot that causes a havok restart twice within the same round will lose a life and be out for that round.

Other:
-I can AI, but it is preferred that you do it yourself. That being said, no cheaty AIs. If I AI your bot, you may not complain unless I have made an obvious mistake.
     -No meltybrain.py
-I will be entering with this:

-Virus Bomb gets 2 entries if he wishes
-Winner will be allowed two entries in my next tournament, as well as a preview of my updated AI pack if they wish

Lightning S.
NeonCalypso
Fracture
WenXiangLee
Silverfish
RedAce
Dark-Al
Dreamcast
Badnik96
Virus Bomb
Virus Bomb (2nd entry)
Meganerdbomb
Shield
Avalanche
090901
Badger
Kurt
Pwnator
Mr.AS

normal = good
red = problem

No time  left to enter.

rebuilding some older bots also birthday post woooo

made more efficient versions of protostar by stacking the snapper in the nifty. tbh i feel like in doing so, it lost a lot of its personality

this will probably be the final version. uses old internal setup, but has better front protection and still has a static weapon

new version of jolt. chassis is wider, still has a wedge, drive is external, 3 razors. took forever to get that ba/supervolt stack

since jolt has a wedge, i figured this lw popup wouldn't need one. much wider chassis and 4 razors. might change the weaponry, or just shrink the chassis a bit so i can get the razors alligned

new robber fly. changed the setup and weapon extenders so i could get the weight for HPZs

new blizzard. used less extenders on the drive and weapons which gave me enough weight to play around with some extra stuff. decided to put on ice picks since it kinda matched the theme of the bot

thanks to mr.as for advising a static setup; this one is so much better than the previous versions. wedge is decent, brackets+plows do a good job of stopping HSs, 3 razors. ba/supervolt stack didn't take nearly as long on this one for some reason

rebuild of mother brain. not as many spikes at only 16, but has much better defense (which probably goes along better with the robot anyway). didn't have weight for 2 supervolts or room for a nifty, so i just threw a couple extra pinks in there and called it a day. drive setup just barely breaks ro7 so if anyone is triggered by that i'll consider redoing it

also easter egg on this robot in the botlab for whenever i release it

i need to get a component skin pack or something. these baby blue plows just don't cut it

rebuilding some bots from my ai pack

new version of abort retry fail hw for super secret team. 2 black batteries, 12 razors, 799.9
not very good, but still better than the old one
also breaks ro7. is this a problem or does anyone care

can someone please tell me how to make a decent mw hammer
4 plows, 3 razors, 395.4. i want to trade a couple plows for more weaponry, but the ddt can barely even handle what's there already. also the hammer arm gets ripped off the second it touches anything

i'm seeing more and more robots nowadays with spinners that only have one tooth, as opposed to two, three, or a more traditional number. i understand why they're doing this, but i'm wondering how. how do you figure out the way to make a disk/bar/spinning weapon bigger on one side and still be balanced?

lightning pulled a massive bro gambit and it did nothing lol, he's the rightful godfather

Lightning attacked me but I was hiding behind AS at the time.

At least, that's what I assume happened.

this is indeed what happened

i'm still mad
