It reminds me somewhat of an old buick logo, but I know that makes no sense with the H.

Aww, you've got an awesome signature bot, I want one :P

Yep, tried with the tail and it fights far better previously as a SnS style bot.

Excellent, i'll give that a try then.

I meant like this:

Tail, fits through the gap.
I know, but doesn't that tail flip over to face the direction the bot's moving?

I had a feeling a tail would make it move, but wouldn't that get in the way of the drum?

I have a fair amount of failed experiments (i'll probably showcase them at some point for the lulz because some of them are rather...different) and I thought this was one:  I built it a little while ago as a kind of bridge to the new sdtyle of building i'm trying to do. The point of it was to be very strong (thanks to the fullbody drum chassis protection and the crawler part getting rid of the weak wheels) and to roll up wedges with the downward spinning drum. Instead though, it turns out it's somewhat capable as a SnS. Oh, and the problem with it that also stopped it from fulfilling it's original purpose? It can't move forward or back

Well in which case, I'm off to eat flowers, smash my face on bricks, jump on tortoises, and then I'm going to stuff myself down someone's pipe.
PLAYA  Anyway, let's see how long it takes for that to end up in a certain other thread...

*Looks at mirror*
Looks like it's about time I had a shave- I'm beginning to look like an Italian Plumber with this moustache.
Same, but I can't be arsed

I ate a yorkie before and probably will have another piece of mint gum in a second.

You can use a better setup than that for the weapons, if you want to use the multi extenders, just attach the other extenders off the one on attached to the baseplate.
Also, i'm guessing you have 7 ants in there, if you want more weapons, you can get rid of an ant or two.
Oh, and the solution to the razorz breaking off is to either ADD MOAR or to use hammers instead.

And GF, you have a protege?
Yeah. Lately, I've been acting as something of a mentor to Spinner Bot. I helped him get started on the site, and I taught him how to enter tournies.
Oh yeah, I remember that now, I asked because I thought you'd mentioned it before. And yes freeziez, lot's of whacking has ocured recently...

Perhaps it would be better if it was a few people who decided which bot was best?

Hello again guy who left not that long after I joined.
And GF, you have a protege?

I like both of them. Do the spinners on the second one spin up or down?
Yes, beacause over the top hammers are such common designs  Besides, I think he'd be safe from them anyway without the firestorm flipper. And I also agree with NAr when it comes to those disks, although if you gave it two wedges instead of the one that wouldn't be so much of a problem

Meh, I didn't mean that you were using it to eat up weight, I meant that if it's there to aid self righting then it's not all that usefull overall while the second bot probably doesn't need it as it probably can self right itself with the spinners.
Still don't like it there, as top armour it isn't THAT usefull IMO, and I doubt any bot's would go over that design anyway, so it's pointless in that respect.

I don't want to play backlash untill the full version is released,.
probally advisable :P First Blood was only to show the separate tabs idea... thats why I was a pain in the butt about it.. because people shot down the idea but refused to try it
Backlash seems to be JUST the kind of mod i'd love to play (especially since i'm trying to focus my bot building on spinners), and I don't want to ruin the anticipation really by playing a demo version first, that's the only reason why I haven't played it yet. Anyway, to link back to the topic, I agree that a generall video showcase would probably end up being quite messy and hard to manage.

Funny, i'd say the first one was the more messy one. Guess we'll just agree to disagree then

I like them both, but I could see the second one being more effective aswell actually.
The firestorm flipper on the top of the first one is, I presume, to aid self righting, but is mostly weight wasted in comparison to the second one.
It could also act as some food for a VS.
I much prefer the second one, probably also has a better chance against popups.
