It would be lighter to use 3 PC645s and two ants. (143 vs 162.5) Also a bot like that is going to be über fast without enough weapon.  Try 2 NPC fasts with technos and try to get enough power in the bot and if you have enough weight add more weapons or armor.

Well since JoeBlo lost his RA2 stuff and it doesn't look like he will be entering I say use my alternate Stock popup and I am sending a different DSL bot.

Screenshot looks to dark to see anything and no one here likes bmp files. (I don't know why though) Everyone here likes png pictures.

If you dual boot windows through bootcamp or an equivilant program you can have ra2 on a mac. Installing it on OSX is not possible as far as I know.

Skirt hinges are bouncy and building something that needs stability is never a good idea. Try rebuilding with smaller weapon bars and attaching the frontal supports with something like a multi extender.

Cold Arbor - Going to motorama 2010 it was the bot I feared the most. It had a large saw clamping arms and it just looked scary. It ended up not working properly and going 0-2 loosing to another sawbot and a hammerbot.

Everything else is the same.

@ JoeBlo: The font I used for the stats.

I know this is kinda a clone and I don't even know if harpoons are in NAR AI any more but I though this was a milestone for me and a chance to try out a new font :P

Relax, clear your mind, listen to some smooth music, get off the internet. Sleep will come.  Or... you could do something dumb like stay up for two days straight. Your body will quit and you will sleep regardless of if you want to. :P I suggest my first idea.

Going back to the TAN debate because I missed most of it and want to give my 2 cents :P

TAN was in no way a cheap design.  It's not cheap to use an arena hazzard to benifit you. Trust me it's the reason why they are there. It shocks me that it took so long for TAN or bots like TAN to appear.   


As far as I know Panic Attack used window wiper motors for drive and the typical output RPM for those at 12v is around 250 and I think PA ran 24v so you can look at about 500RPM and with 5" wheels that's about 13-14 mph if you run at 12v that's around 7 mph. I think Gold PA ran 12v instead of the 24v run by PA3.  (I'm not sure though this is all from memory)

Edit: I guess I better post my least favorite bot.  :P

It's...

Wish I could but I can't find the F12 key in my workshop so I don't know the current collision mesh of my wheels. :P

@JoeBlo: The clones are invertable for what ever reason.  I think it has to do with the large colisin mesh of hypno wheels. :P
Thanks I didn't know my showcase was popular.

@NFX: The drum is invertable but looses most of it's effectiveness.

It should install like any other arena. Right now it is unfinished and overwrites the small arena. I might finish it if I have time and the urge to finish it. :P
