Congratulations Sage for two things :
1. Getting 19.
2. For making a bot with the right amounts of both effectiveness and art. I want to see a bots with this right balance every day. Keep building stock Sage, You are good at it...

I totally want to make my own version of Trap.
It's idea is so simple, but it looks absolutely hilarious, which makes it all the more reason why it's awesome.
They don't use the phrase "Venko bot" for nothing...
Also, out of curiosity, have you ever done anything involving any of the game's cheatbot2 parts?
Yes, I have a few, but right now I don't have the time to find and showcase them.



lol you should try an AW version of insect that goes over other AW's and rips at the top of them.

Just never drive backwards with this...

Don't quit. You have skills, your bots have a cool style, cool skins, small chassis, You get the concepts of the bot types and so... The only thing You need is to exchange some components and that's it. If You can't stack and do glitches, You can do rammers and pokers for now. For example, the SoZ bot needs only:
exchange the wedge for the other small one;
use a black battery instead of all these pinks;
use a snapper2 instead of s. II;
put a ramplate in the front;
use the DSA
and that's it. It's not that bad for a start.

I had a lots of them, but my showcase was deleted, so is the pics in "the RAR with my pics" count? I mean, they all were posted once...

I see a distinct lack of BW's and it annoys me.
I also see a distinct lack of Nifty powered antweights, which annoys me slightly less, but still anooys me.
Sorry Ianh, but fair points. Try to blow away our minds with some very cool and innovative Nifty powered AW, I dare You.

Lol, didn't they just KO in one hit the bot on the most right on the bottom?
I can try to stack for You a second pink in your famous chassis, if You send me your last version.
Other bots are OK, waiting for your PM...

Give us a screenshots of the insides and tell us the weight and the armour You chosen.
You don't need to build IRL in stock, You can overlap as many parts as You want.
As for these bots, they are compact and an average for now, try to put more weapons and more dmg dealing weapons.
Also, check the tutorials around which parts to use and which not.
Some part in stock are totally crap.
And I like the coffin BW, as an art.

New, experimental stuff :
I know that something like this was done before, but this is different :

Too bad it not perform that well as I expected.
Let's just hope it will inspire someone to build it better.
His tactic not work vs HSs and on some arenas.
This concept only needs a stabilizers to help it stay on its prey :

This preforms average on the tests.
The VSs are a problem.

@ ianh05 :
Sorry if my post sounded harsh to You. I didn't pick the right words for the advices. You can PM me which bots you want, so I to start work on their skins, if they don't have.
I know they slow down after a minute or so but sometimes more weapons are better than the extra pink so you can outweapon the opponent and WPB.
I have a different opinion on this. You can't do any dmg due to a snail speed even before the first minute.
I don't get owned by starcore AW's, lots of my AW's dominate SC AW's.
Of course, I wanted to point out that a SC AW win your tourney, my bad.
My AW's are not art either (except stock mini's),
Do You have a stock mini of mine bot btw?
it's me attempting new but hopefully effective designs to keep things interesting and fresh, I do have more then one chassis too BTW and some have DSA some have plastic, some have 1 pink, some have 2 pinks and some even have 3.
Can You showcase some of them, I'm curious, I get the impression that You use only the Triforce chassis, sorry.
Look at Oil drill 2, it blocks rammers with the plow and drills at their tops causing some serious damage and possibly even KO'ing the rammer.
Would be better if You replace the free axel with an extenders and 1 more razor, I have my doubts about the efficiency of the spinning.
Snapper II isn't good as a hammer/popup burst sadly, just look at chest burster in SCAI it gets one shot off before it starts struggling.
Sad, but true.
I like 3, 5 and 7 the best out of those and I also like the improvement on the kamikaze box.
Kamikaze box still have that drifting problems, it can't go straight driven by a human. #5 depends on your 140 extender politics...
Once again, sorry if I sound too direct and critic, I know You have good bots, I just wanted to say You to be more concentrated on the efficiency. I also do testing for CombatAnts, and 1 pink bots sux at generally... Also, a 4 AWs fight is something different...
Thats because damage is calculated from the speed of the object from the weapon sources side (The robot).
So thats why Jugglers, Popups and Flail SnS/HS exist. They are very frequent fast hits. It's also why using axles as weapon motors is jokingly unreliable.
QFT!
I will still stay with my opinion, meanwhile, I'm really keen to see a bot from You, that uses a chassis very different from that ugly duckling.

I'm ill these days (virus epidemic), so I have some time to build. I present 8 in 1 this time :

=====================================================================================
#1
AW-A better "Centrifugal Force" clone
124.9
DSA
1 pink
still bumples around when flipped
I dunno why built this. Perhaps I wanted to have one of these...
=====================================================================================
#2
AW-Touch my hairy balls
123.1
DSA
2 pinks
invertible
It uses the UFO setup, an average bot, but it have problems when inverted - the weapons become too heavy and make him bow sometimes.
=====================================================================================
#3
AW-SnS
122.2
plastic
2 pinks
invertible
Believe it or not, this little weasel is actually very good. It's not so easy to hit one of his unprotected parts, as You may think...
=====================================================================================
#4
AW-The prodigy
124.5
DSA
2 pinks
can srimech
The snapper have troubles sometimes to get back to his start position for the next hit, but if You ignore this, it's a very proper true hammer AW bot.
=====================================================================================
#5
AW-SnS 2
124.9
plastic
2 pinks
invertible
I cloned "6-pack", tested it, then tested this, and I can say for sure, that this bot is better and it's a damn good AW bot.
=====================================================================================
#6
AW-The prodigy v2
123.7
plastic
3 pinks
can srimech
I exchanged the DSA and the castor for a third pink and a 20 cm longer hammering extender (it's 60 now). But the first version is better IMO.
=====================================================================================
#7
AW-The mosquito face
124.5
plastic
1 pink
invertible
Very good at ramming, but it needs to accelerate to a fast speed, and he slows dramatically after the first minute.
=====================================================================================
#8
AW-Charge
124.4
plastic
1 Nifty
invertible
Sidebots can't turn, aside from that, it's a very good rammer.
=====================================================================================

@ ianh05 :
As I promised :

And I'm not joking around, start choosing which bots You will want for your pack. A general advices : your problem is, that You are stuck with that chassis with one pink. Experiment with a new chassis, and use AT LEAST 2 pinks. One pink start to sux after the first minute, and that's why SC AWs owned You. Quit the art AW bots with a strange and ineffective weapon setups too.

@ Squirrel_Monkey :

"I'm in the 1WD club since 2008."-Venko said and took a bite from that cookies... My point was, that the 1WDs and the crawlers have disadvantages and can lose, so no point of fearing them so much, unless You are Naryar...

@ J :
I don't build stock from yesterday... When I build, I always have the collision meshes ON, so I can see if a mace is hitting the floor or it's above the top. So my answer is NO. The maces don't make "red dmg numbers", due to the castors on the bottom and the ramplate on the top, they prevent the self dmg. The funny thing is, that they still can "move" it when it is inverted. Plus, most of the time the bot is on the other bot doing dmg to him. In all my testings (a lot of testing), somehow I never lost a wheel, the ramplate or a more than 2-3 maces. It's like this : the other bot manage to hit my "weak spot" and I lose very fast, or I own him very hard. This bring the question, what would happen, if I remove this "weak spot" (a better maces setup, that protects better the discs and the most exposed extenders). BTW, the bot can't get stuck, 'cos the holding snappers can fire and spread the discs.

Kamikaze box would be better if you managed to stack the anchors back to back and have the iron more centred.
I will try, meanwhile choose an AWs for your pack...

Why people are always opposite, instead of baning the 140 extender and the uberstack, they forbid crawlers and 1WDs. They looks pretty legal to me and some can show a control movement. They are normal bots that have an advantages and disadvantages, why for example Sage didn't win the HW stock BBEANS with his crawler...

Some "Ianh" stuff :
3 in 1 :

The purpose of the BW was to experiment with the exotic and very rarely used components, just to see what would happen. You don't see stuff like this every day, and there is a reason why - IT SUX IN A FIGHT.
The kamikaze box was supposed to be the fastest possible AW bot with a weapon, the name is 100% right in describing it...
The AW-Cheapatron 2000 thing, scared the little weasel Jonzu95 so much, so he added the 2 wheels rule in the last moment in the CobatAnts after seeing this (I sent this as an entry before the sign ups).
All are invertible, and the kamikaze is even 100% unstuckable...

I changed my mind to not enter, as a part of a new tactic against the 140 square extender and the new uberstack glitch...
Anyway, I can't wait for the start, good luck to all.
