Surely that flamethrower setup would explode IRL...
Assuming they're directly behind each other, you're right.

Goddamn it, GF. If it explodes it ain't realistic =P

So today was productive in terms of pens and tables.

I got given a broken pen to break further so I did, but it spat ink onto the table, so I tried to wipe it off and effectively ruined the table with my large blue smudge, giving me the new pet name Inky from my girlfriend. So now I'm a Pacman Ghost. ^^
Congratulations  :gawe:

So today was your first day back?
Nah, last Monday.
Heheh, I go back on the 5th  :laughing

DP. Status report. Mini - Flaming Whizzer and Mini - Backyard Ripper beaten, along with a few others. The bot lasts well; the irons are strong, the extenders are pretty out of reach, and the chassis hardly ever gets touched. One thing I have noticed (which was pretty obvious) is that the power limits it greatly. It has a great amount of damage and power in the first few jousts, but after that it fades away. If the bot isn't dead by a minute, you're stuffed. So pretty much all of the wins were by de-weaponing the other bot, then not having enough poke to finish it off, and then winning by points.

While rebuilding, naturally my low attention span ran out and I started messing with the extender work. I did what 09 said because Plastic alone didn't suffice, but I messed around a little more. I managed to find this setup, all off one axle and without the Rule of 7. It won't be surprising to me if you've already found this, but I thought it was pretty cool.



Total extender weight: 10 kgs.

you can try using 2 extenders instead of a t connector if you still need weight for another battery with plastic
If I can't shed enough that could work. Thanks

pretty cool bot and skin but 1 pink powering 2 rads is going to run out quick, atleast its not another 1wd hs, normally i test my aws against riptide logic probe and all those other sc4 ants but i geuss stock minis ai is cool too

and i have mini backyard ripper w/ dsa to test against if you want it and if ian is cool with sharing it
Thanks,

If Ian is cool with it, it would be pretty awesome if I had the bot, so yes please.   :mrgreen: Also, without testing it, would using plastic armour (the only thing I can think of to shed weight) be worth it to gain another ant? Assuming it frees up enough weight?

I was going to enter, but I ended up forgetting and I started the bot two days late. Oh well.
I sent my entry 2 days late. I think I still made it.
FFFUUU

I didn't send mine out of principle.

Well, ain't that awesome? I'm now going to DL the Mini's AI Pack, and have a test to see how combat effective it is.

Results of that will most likely be posted tomorrow.

Why the axle mount, not a Baseplate Extender?


You'll get a FS like effect with axles that will allow the weapons to grind at the chassis of opponents.
I didn't know that at the time. :3

So how unoriginal is it?

Because I got lazy and couldn't be bothered to make the chassis larger to fit it in =P

I'm not sure which style is more weight efficient. I'm guessing using a baseplate anchor?

Anyway, back to stock. I was going to try to surprise you all, and enter my first BOTM for September, in a weightclass I've never built in before and a Mod I haven't used for god-knows-how-long. But I started two days AFTER the deadline closed, and I only realised after finishing the bot. Derp. I had a background ready and everything.


As you can see, it's predominantly purple. The bot was called Machine Head, a reference to Deep Purple. :3

As for the bot, it's a 1 pink and DSA concoction, and I'm really happy with it, considering I haven't gone as far as touch Stock for a long time.





Mmm. Generic. Nom.

I'm gonna play Slender. Tonight. In the darkness. On Skype. With people listening to me being scared.

God help me.
Play the $20 version
Doesn't that have daylight, or something?
