Goddamn, drum bot first thing. I'm utterly screwed.
Oh well, at least my HW stands a bit of a chance.

Aluminium is not an improvement !

DSL bars might be, however. Also i have moar batteries to last longer.
4 ants ain't too bad.

Plus I might be able to get enough weight back for an ant if I drop back to plastic 5, I guess.
EDIT:

Thar we go.

Build moar, Nary.

Why did God give women nipples?

To make suckers out of men  :coolface

You do know the default human gender is female? :gawe:
Hmm? Explain.
Something to do with Chromosomes, IIRC.
Pretty much. The foetus develops a little bit before it "decides" what gender it is, which is why males have nipples as well.
Yeah, the SRY gene found in the male Y chromosome changes the gonads into testis which then produce the male hormone, so technially mean are offshoots of women.

Proving the bible wrong again, of course.

Love the screenshot, but I really wouldn't use pole spikes. Try razors.
All been switched. Interesting thing happened and now the razors sink into the floor and I can't be outwedged.
Unrealistic but VICTORY anyhow.

Attempt to improve on Nary's. Ali 5, NPC fasts, rest is obvious.

Then it'll be a blatant clone of the CC4 SnSnS, or a clone of 123's full-rotation flail spinner. And I don't like axles, and axles have roughly 1/6th of piglet hitpoints.

Also a free axle will produce EVEN less knockback than a piglet, and will make this bot even more of a trinity SnS.
And that's the problem. Said the hit points were too low in mah edit.
I just can't picture that being as effective as the alternatives. Prove me wrong, sure, but it isn't a design that works as effectively in MW form.

Decent, although I can see potential issues due to the lack of tourque of the pinks with that heavy a weapon system, kinda nullifying the knockback, although I could be wrong.

Think of it as a regular SnS that exerts an extra push during contact. That's what made these things so deadly in Stock in the first place.
Yeah, but with stock people often used HP-Z-teks, which were as strong as the drive in most cases; that gave it a lot of extra push, while a Pink, with the weapon weight used, doesn't have much torque or speed, at least from my experience.
With this design, the piglets almost add to the speed of the bot in the weapon, so it hits as hard as the npc's and piglets combined.
It may cause lots of damage but that's not what I'm trying to argue against.

Small spinner (as in the section attached to the piglet) with not produce as much knockback as weapon with greater diameter (see Snsnsnsnsnsnsnsnsnsnsns or whatever).
Weaker weapon motor is more likely to be forced backwards in contact with enemy bot, which may actually reducing knockback.
Important question is whether it actually does, as this is all theory from my own experiments.
I think that replacing the piglet with an axle with save weight for more razors. Just personal thought.

EDIT:
Scratch that, not enough HP with an axle.

Hang on, why is Scar Spangled Banner even in the LW bracket? It's a MW.

(Yeah, thought there was something wrong with a Large JX and NPCs in a LW :P)

yah I don't really care about SSC. I felt like making something that did actually look vaguely like a real bot rather than this new wave of "IRL" which is IMO still too effeciency focused.

He needs the chassis big enough for the NPC's to fit in.
put them on a multi extender.
Exterior drive motors on MW SNS=Not good idea.

Awesome. Would be even better if the chassis was a little shorter.

What are you talking about? There was a Hot Wheels cartoon.
Yeah, I remember, there was a cartoon in the magazine.

Don't ask me why I know that:P

Also, unlike Mario Kart, it is not made in cartoon. Some weapons include Mines, Bottle Rockets, Mortars, EMPs, Parot Shoots.
You, sir, are the most repetitive troll ever. Go get an open mind.

And what's wrong with a cartoon art style? Come up with a legitimate argument, go on.

Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing is still very much a legend although the newer titles aren't as impressive.
