beep beep crap bots coming up
ok so on my endless quest to make a MW aneurysm that doesn't completely suck i pulled this thing out of my butt
(spoiler alert: it sucks)
the main problem with a MW version of aneurysm is the drum diameter. i'm never going to be able to use crushing teeth which is what gave the thing most of its punch, so i guess ninja stars are the next best thing.
TOO BAD THEY BLOW since the mesh is a circle instead of following the model, it just doesn't have any updraft which makes it pretty weak.
It's also a lot harder to make invertible with the larger proportion drum so i have to add wedges and stuff which i don't like. you also run into the problem with the first versions of aneurysm with having to have external motors which is just a disaster. the drive is also a problem because with this design you need the wheels sticking out the back a bit (helps invertibility), However for MWs RCs are too weak and slims are the right speed but too big so the wheel doesn't stick out the back so it has a super hard time running upside down.
it's just a mess as a MW and while it could possibly be done, I think a design like this will always be way more effective as a HW in ironforge at least.
so i was thinking of ways to make this thing not the most crappy machine on the planet and I was like "so i want more updraft, screw invertibility on a MW with this, protected motors"...
IN OTHER WORDS A VS
so
version 1, version 1 second version
i'll be the first to admit they're not the most awesome things ever, but they sure are a
of a lot better than the piece of junk before.
steel 3, 4 ballasts for stability, slim drive (on second one), 1 black and 1 pink
updraft is decent. I kinda want help on this one more than anything. I think it could be really good if I mess with it.
Its main weakness is its still kind of unstable, mainly tipping forward. And if those wedges go its all over. I'll probably just make a bigger chassis to make the center of gravity further back but I wanted your guys' advice on this one. I really hate wedges in general but I think it's probably a necessary evil for this one if I want it to uppercut stuff or else you get into Beer Goggles territory and that thing is just a crawler.
I want to make something original but I feel like the small component selection in IF is making this difficult. I really love the mod overall but I think this will hurt it in the long run.
anyway feedback would be peachy
