those plows are overlapping so you know how to use 1 of the glitches.. and that one is the most important. you could have stacked weapons instead of plows >.>

those batteries aren't in there, anti-ballasts (used to make SHW's) aren't either..

i see your using custom parts.. the robot is very overweight and a lot can be fixed to get it under 800kgs.
custom parts are only used for "Freaks" not serious bots, only use the parts that come with DSL if you build serious robots.

it's very underpowered, chassis is way to big, all the razor tips on the back are useless and there's no need for ballasts.

An updated version of my BBEANS entry:  now has the wedge on a snapper, evened out plows and razor tips replacing the axes... also has an iron spike to protect the top a lil and maybe get in some more damage.

we should have a SFTW award seeing there's a few this time :P
my robot isn't great, as i have said before the wedge isn't on a burst motor or anything and the weapons could be better.. it'll be fun to watch though, and i know if it faces Anti-Christ V.Pincer the match could go either way (depending on havoks, which will be ACVP's downfall).

45-70 Magnum - Good all round bot here and should expect nothing less from the #1 ranked competitor... I don't see many weaknesses here, this bot will go far.
Absolute chaos - 1st of the hugely stack horizontal spinners, INF is ranked 5 in BBEANS so this bot should go far.. however some certain robots could cause it a few problems.
Acupunture - looks ok, invertible from what i can see and has a wedge.. it may not have enough weapons to be a threat to most others.
Anti-christ V.Pincer - that damn ant bot that Havoks and stuff! it's stronger then it looks, the wedges are to stop rammers and other HS's weapons. should go ok.
Big Flip's Revenge - could 2 pop-ups be better then 1? for some reason i like this entry and i believe it could get at least 1 win and is probably one of the better of the multi-bot entries.
Black Cat Magic - an interesting robot... i think there is more then just those 2 spinning weapons and wedge.. possibly a flipper or popup/VS hybrid? if it is.. it could do pretty well.
Blood Shed - the weapons used on this rammer aren't as effective as they could be, will be lucky to win a match imo.
Bounty Hunter - looks very well built as you would expect from Pyscolone, this bot will go far.
Bumble Bee - the Anti pop-up... should do well but i question it's stability and control with the low arena walls it might get bumped into orbit by a fast rammer or sent into orbit from a VS, it might go far depending on the draw.
Cardiac Arrest - looks like the best rammer here, could cause real problems for HS's. capable of getting a couple of wins imo.. unless it faces something with a wedge.
Chernobyl - another stacked HS, capable of getting a few wins.
Cocytus IV - an upgraded NWB will cause problems for most robots, this robot should go far and possibly finish top 4.
Consonant/Vowel - another multi-bot.. not really sure how this entry will fair, i'm thinking it could go ok and might get a win.
Copyright Infringement - Stacked HS, will go ok depending on the draw and i'm not sure how it will far against some of the other HS's.
Crawl Through Knives v4.2 - another juggler and looks pretty well built, one of the best rookie entries i see and will probably get the award for best rookie.
Dark July - lots of weapons but it's gonna be slow and easy to get under for most, not that great but could get a win.
Death Dealer - Meganerdbomb is ranked #18 in BBEANS but this entry looks like a pretty average HS, i think the lower spinners could be there to cause pop-ups trouble, should get a win or 2.
DGSG/IDRODI - a pretty good looking multi-bot with rammer and popup could cause some problems for most entries.
'Eavy Metal Boi - not sure if it's a rammer or poker, looks pretty durable but i don't think it will go far.
gears your lever - 2 smaller HS's will be weaker then 1 bigger one. looks like a strong entry though and could get at least 1 win.
Generic Rammer - not the worst rammer here but i still don't like it's chance, could get a win though.
grinnin face - i wouldn't be grinnin if this were my entry, it will get destroyed by pop-ups, other HS's, Rammers, Jugglers, Face spinners and VS's... well that's everyone.
Gut Ripper 2 - looks like a borg queen setup but not as strong, could get a win.
Heaven's Sawmill - One of my favorite entries from my favorite builder, it should make top 4 at least.
Hellbringer - it's a decent FS and could get a win or 2.
Insult to Injury V - a weak VS, at least the wheels aren't exposed...
Juggernaut Mk. 3 - well its one of the more unique entries.. a rammer that can ram at you from 2 ends could be a better entry then most think.
Mace in da face - another strong HS, another possible winner for best rookie.
Mjorhmei - most random name here imo, hammers aren't that great.. one of the weaker VS's. i dunno might get a win.
No Hype 5 - i think it's the only flipper here, low arena walls might work in it's favor, could cause a few upsests.
Oscillation Overthruster - not the strongest HS but could get a win or 2.
PitA 8 - lots of pop-ups and this is one of the better ones with low ground clearance and good wedges should go far.
R4 - ROBOSH4RK is one of the best pop-up builders and this bot should go far.
Red Radar - a weird little bot here, but one of the weakest entries.. probably won't get a win.
Revenge Of Dr.Wham - looks like a decent pop-up and will probably get a few wins.
SandStorm - My entry and one of the most unique, it has decent speed to get under bots and grind away with the axes, and the HS's will help protect it against attacks from the sides and behind, could get a win but probably won't :P
Seism 13 - 13 will be unlucky for most in this tournament, a strong pop-up that should go far.
Shock Therapy - seems like this robots wants to beat us with defense, pity those plows don't even scratch weapons.. still looks cool and has a cool name, won't get a win.
Spearhead - a really strong poker here, will cause lots of problems for HS's.. could go far.
Stratocaster - a good rammer/poker that could also cause problems for HS's. should get a couple of wins.
SurgicalStrike - a decent pop-up but isn't a strong as the others. will get a win or 2.
T-800 Terminator - a strong entry with plenty of "weapon breakers" as he calls them. a good mix of defense and offense, will go far.
The Baby Warrior - this entry has me confused... it looks like it has a good wedge and it's well protected with plows, if the builder picked better weapons i would give this robot a chance.. could still cause an upset.
the black plague - another strong HS but different setup, could go far.
The Emancipator - A strong VS that's well protected, will get a couple of wins at least.
The Fang Brothers - pretty cool looking, but shouldn't do well due to lack of weapons.
Three Kings - it looks weird and strong... could get a couple of wins.
Triple Play - not enough weapons, probably won't get a win.
Trojan Horse - looks like another decent pop-up, should get at least 1 win.
Tsunami - ... looks tiny, wheel choice is bad and paint job average.. so i'm gonna guess this robot is average at best and will be lucky to get a win.
Shadow Tryant - Trovaner is a great builder and this pop-up will cause problems.
Vela - a decent HS with front protection, however those back wheels will be easy to knock off, could get a win or 2.
Vetearn (typo?) Destroyer - one of the only hammer bots here, looks decent.. maybe a win or 2.

not enough HS's imo :P
I'll wait for the brackets/splash topic to make any predictions.

Naryar's would be more of a challenge, due to the motor not being as exposed (if at all).. the one thing about the old one is you could just get a lil bump as a HS causing your bot to bounce around and your weapons would hit the motors.

the pics i see have extenders coming up then one coming off the end of it, I'm suggesting that they use the side and get the 2nd motor to go down into the first one.
that would allow you to use more weapons (2 weapons on each extender coming from the tribar).
2572
« on: April 12, 2009, 12:01:09 AM »
could you not use the side of the extender coming off the first motor to face the next extender straight down and have them chained that way?

yes, mine doesnt use the axle loading glitch but mine has a plow.. here's mine:

what do you mean you have only seen MW chained spinners!?
i know starcore AI pack has a lw chained spinner and i also made my own which was shown in BOTM for last month (meltdown 2).

use the blue snappers, saves a lot of weight but you will need to re-size the chassis.

thanks for the feedback. seems like the most popular is beat the box and least popular is tilt.
i thought the challenges were varied enough for all bot types to get a fair chance at winning. I will add more challenges next time.
-2 on 1 favored bots with defense and offense (don't worry this will get harder).
-beat the box favored the bots with the most powerful weapons such as spinners and pop-ups.
-Tilt favored bots with a good wedge (in future i hope it will favor bots with powerful drive such as rammers).
-survival favored bots with good defense, any bot with a plow or wedge should last longer then a robot without one.
i actually wanted to keep it lw for a while for a good reason, this type of tournament is suppose to bring out different designs and i don't think we achieved that and i was also planning to bring back the best robots from each season in a champions season.
i hope to have the next season starting up sometime after BBEANS has finished. if you have ANY idea's for a challenge pm me your idea.
i would also love anyone who can make arena's to help out with the custom arena we need for the final round of the tournament.

i can be helpful even when misunderstood :)

i mean you can make the chassis smaller and move the batteries to the front then put the extenders on the back.
2579
« on: April 11, 2009, 01:23:14 AM »
it has a bit of free space, maybe you can get some side protection or something.
you can even move the batteries forward more and use a multi-extender at the back with an extender coming off it to prevent it from tipping over backwards.
