Here's the internal picture. Yes, I know Copals are the crappiest of the crappy motors, but it's the only thing that would fit in the bot and shell spinners usually don't need super fast drives anyway.

...Judging from the latest projects, I am not learning much about bot building. (or skinning, for that matter)



*not actually a beetleweight

And then suddenly wtfrandomUHWjokebot.


Feel free to bash these three new bots into oblivion :V.

It's bump time!
Since I've been busy with building crappy half-weight UHWs and other insanity, I kinda forgot about this topic. But no matter, I'm not dead! (yet)
Here's a few of the better results, and one that I still have no idea what to call.



Probably the best of my UHW builds, but it's very lightweight for its class. Probably not a good thing.


This one was the result of getting carried away building a HW shell spinner. How it got to almost 4000kg and how it got all those saws, I will never know. Still can't decide on a good name for it.

The only reason the desktop is not of my namesake is because I can't find any wallpaper-sized images of it. But oh well.

Latest bot has a really nice look to it, seems very aggressive.

Well, let me attempt an explanation.
The frontal plate is a large array of Hex Plates, meant to stop spinners from tearing the bot apart from the get-go.
On top of those Hex Plates, DSL Bars have been placed to provide reinforcement for said hex plates.
Lastly, there are a few steel shark's teeth and a spike strip mounted to provide damage against attackers and to complement the hammer.
The small "knobs" on the sides are the edges of the motors sticking out from the chassis.

On another note, here is a reminder that yes folks, you shouldn't build robots while barely awake. It results in abominations like this:

Even I don't know what's going on with this thing (probably accentuated by the fact it looks to be a bunch of parts slapped together and called a robot)

Here's the front of Hellcat. Due to the weight limit, the wheels have been changed to Vladiator wheels (probably not the best choice) and the front armor has been expanded slightly.
You can also see why the motor placement is stupid.

Would probably be in the best interests to get myself a showcase up (What good is it anyway when you're on a robot fighting forum and you don't have any examples of robots to fight with?), despite said robots being absolutely terribad. Granted, they're not as atrocious as the first half-dozen bots were...


Has an alleged self-righting mechanism on the rear, but it rarely works. Aluminum 3 armor.


Incredibly stupid motor placement limits this one badly. Titanium 5 armor.

Feel free to bash this thread into oblivion offer criticisms on the builds, and/or yell at me for doing something stupid.
