Yeah I got it right then :)
And wow you guys really have the measurements figured out, but anyhow Teeth has been set aside for the moment and 4 hours in I can proudly present:
Teeth v2!!
Teeth v2 is basically my initial robot 'Teeth' but revamped for competitive play and I hope to test him out in online matches.
Features:
- 6x Iron Spikes
- 2x Tribars on HP Zteks mounted with razors
- 2x Supervolts batteries, stacked for space
- 4x HP Zteks for drive
- A much better 'use of space and weight'
- Much more effective weaponry
- Invertible (thanks to the N12 wheels even with the Ztek sticking up)
- Side armor to shield wheels (note the spike when I ran out of weight)
Problems:
- Rather high ground clearance
- Exposed top and bottom
- Weak back end
Screenies:
Inside the robot teeth, much cleaner IMO
A view of outside the robot, custom paint job with eyes :P
Explanations:
Although it looks ridiculous the N12 wheels allow this bot to not be completely useless when flipped as the wheels keep the bot moving, however, by using N12 wheels I have to use grannies to properly gain 4 wheel drive (shinies dont quite reach the ground with the N12's lift).
The original design was a rammer with 9 iron spikes but, I have opted for 6 with a much more devastating spinning weapon using the ol servo glitch to maxmise space and damage potential.
Lastly I managed to stack the supervolts (probably the most time consuming thing of all) and there is a total of two batteries in the one spot, I'd rather not edit these.
The armor is the DSA kind and offers a nice amount of protection.
As I began building this bot up I had 4x spike strips to protect the wheels on either side, but the weight limit dawned on me and I had to use poles on the most protected parts (that wouldnt need as much protection, and for symmetry). My old robot weighed in at around 600KG and so this bot far exceeds the weight distribution which I hope makes you lot happy :)
Anyway I think thats about all I can say about it, all comments are welcome but im probably going to be reluctant to try and tackle editing this thing as its only my second bot and this was a pretty dawnting project for me.
Cheers in advance and let me know what you think of the new weaponry.
