 quick CW, name is Shear Terror. 582, moe motor, npc/vlad drive, 4 ants, steel 3. Pretty good damage. Also I learned slightly more paint.net doing this skin. Yes I know the skin isn't amazing or anything, but it's better than half the skins I do right?

might do that with the weight gained from the aluminum wedge, we'll see how much we have once we make the rear plate  Did as much wiring as we could with Nocturne. Weapon assembly is all set, as is most of the wiring, just need a battery now. The one I ordered from RMP won't fit so we ordered a new, smaller battery from Hobbyking. Similar stats so hopefully it won't be much of an issue.  Here's both bots together as they stand right now.

So we went back to the aluminum wedge, current plans are to bolt a piece of steel to the back for assisted inverted driving, spinner protection (the main weak point in the last FireArrow was the back end) and a further back center of gravity so it can (hopefully) self-right.
Also I realized battle scars are cooler than an impervious wedge :P
I considered your thing for a second andy but we're right at the weight limit as it is, and cutting off the top spikes isn't going to give us enough weight to do what we wanted to with the rear plate.

I like the little teeth thing, it looks really cool.
They look sloppy to me.
Even if they didn't, I still don't think they are a good idea. How possible is it to get stuck laying on it's wedge? The teeth just prevent it from righting itself, possibly. Definitely something to check.
Yeah we've tried it with two different wedges (one with teeth and one without) and neither can really right themselves. Also, the teeth originally weren't going to be part of the bot and had to be cut at the last second for weight measures, and I decided "hey these could be bent forward and used as holding teeth". The righting thing is a major problem though.

Walker looks sweet. I think it'd look better with a weapon, maybe a vertical spinner or axe?

  Chassis is made from one solid piece as promised. There are literally no sharp edges on this robot, they've all been milled off. Top spikes were originally weight-saving measures but were made into holding teeth with a vise and hammer. Has serious issues driving inverted, might bend the teeth further forward.

lol andy
Yeah Robo Rooter never did live up to its real potential, but I think it'll do better at Pennbots.

Theres no point to that, we're fighting in an enclosed arena and BuffalOWNED has weak ass armor.

Wild 2.5 year bump appeared
Hyperactive was a pretty big disappointment. All sorts of hype on facebook and it went out in flames.

Still trying to find time to build something. If not I'll probably just slap a flag onto an existing heavy (Probably Whirlytronic again)...

Lots of scifi and fantasy. Seconding Max on the whole H2G2 series.
Redwall is probably my favorite book series overall.

Get rid of the hinged spikes and mount them on the aluminum extenders, other than that it's not bad. Liking the compactness.

Aw man that looks awesome. Just imagine the possibilities.

Excellent. Aiming for any competitions right now, or just planning to get it done?

http://buildersdb.com/eventdetail.asp?eventid=383oh look registration is open now Wondering how many new people there'll be this year, there were a lot of new teams at moto this year, and there's already one new guy that's aiming for bot blast.

He actually did it :O
You did a pretty good job at both of them tbh. Great work.
