now you need to support that one axel (the one the disk is attached to, not neccesarily the whole motor) with some extender work because if you're building IRL it has to look like something you'd see in real life

and real life doesn't have floating axels.

But Naryar told me to ditch them.

Remove most the ant batteries, you only need 3. Right now your drive is super slow (Taz wheels aren't that grippy), you should upgrade to mags with vlad wheels. And if it is possible at all, I would try to get the weapon motor inside the chassis.

The ant batteries serve as a ballast, without them the bot goes flying. And the drive is made to be slow because the bot is VERY unstable. Turning is a very huge risk for it.

After being corrected by the all knowing Naryar, I hung my head in shame and lumbered back into the bot lab to correct my wrong doings. Armor is Tit. 1mm

And, if I'm not mistaken, Rob Collins is hosting a DSL MW tournament, perfect opportunity to really bring out the flaws in Son of Hurricane.

you need to make the legs look more reinforced as well, they just look fragile atm.

More weapons. also it needs motor protection. If you were able to tighten the support extender and got rid of some armor you should be fine.

I don't exactly have enough weight for any of those changes.

Flamethrowers eat through all armors equally, you know.

also, more weapons. Yes, I must repeat myself.

The aluminum extenders serve no purpose, and you can just use multiextenders with everything.

You don't need your perm on a poly extender either, just attach it to the multi.

I thought Flamethrowers burned through Tit. and plastic armor faster?

More weapons... not enough weight.

Wouldn't that leave my bot more fragile?

It can't, half pf the perm will stick out the bot while the other half stays in. I can't put it on the chassis either because then the discs would be too high.

Updated. Again. Armor is steel 1mm.

Now, before you go on and tell me that steel is one of the worst armors I can choose, let me explain my actions.

I hate flamethrower bots. Absolutely despise them.

So by giving Hurricane steel armor it's my way of saying: "F*** YOU AND YOUR FLAMETHROWER"

Sorry got a little off topic there.

But anyways, here's the update.

Updated Son of Hurricane. Lowered the height.



But the lack of a support means that every impact the discs make sends the bot flying.

astroflight drive on a HW ? Surely you don't want to be as slow as a snail stuck in glue ?

You need to lighten up your extender work, it is too heavy in general.

It's a MW, I want it to be slow because it is extremely unstable.

Either the discs are too big, or too small, there needs to be a bridge in the middle of this gap.

I dont think there is. you tried  140cm disc?

It was too small, one of the motors just went right over it, meaning that the motor would be holding opponents and weapons back from the disc.

EX is taking IRL and punching it in the face.

Ugh, why is there no 160cm discs?

If there is, I've never heard or seen one

Anyways, just wondering if these are IRL enough or not.

Son of Hurricane looks IRL enough, but mybe EX is pushing it a bit

Not sure if it's IRL enough tho, discs seem a bit too large...

Not too sure how I feel about naming almost all of them Hurricane. Then again, Thyrus has Ryu's...

Irons suck as popup weapons. Use razors instead.

I've already sent it to 090901 T_T

get rid of the extra wheels and get stonger bursts
He doesn't need stronger bursts, its not a flipper.

It can actually work as a flipper too, and I can assure you that it can flip plenty well as it stands.

Dude, you need this to be in sign-ups before you can accept entries.
