If those test results are the same in the infinity arena then maybe it's the steepness of the wedge that makes the differrence.

I think it's quite a good idea, personally. The popup part would flip the opponents up onto the juggling blades, perhaps, and then continues to strike them while they were up there. You'd need to have it able to self-right, I imagine, because it seems there's a good deal of flippers in COTT. And how many people HAVEN'T entered multibots?
I thoguht the sam thing about the flippers, I've tried raising the drive motors up and using bigger wheels, and I tried using a rear mounted bsg with a titanium plate on it. I have got an idea for self righting though, if it works i'll post it here tommorow.

I hope its realistic. Whats the weight/armor?
I don't think there's any realism problems at the moment, if there are they'll be minor and easily fixable. The weight at the moment is 1638.4 with steel 10 at the moment, which is a tad pitifull. Not a good idea to hybrid both IMO. Jugglers rely on opponents staying on them as long as possible, true popups flip opponents.
I would personally use 4 skirt hinges and 40cm steel sheets for front armor, and same for side armor. Halfsheets aren't very good in 2.1.
The idea of this hybrid is to lift the opponent up towards the disks (flipping later rather than earlier to flip it towards the robot not away) while doing damage at the same time ofcourse  Thanks for the armour advice BTW, the halfsheets are there as side blockers for the disk similair to swim 100's robot where I got the idea to build a juggler in the first place.

Here's a prototype of an idea I'm working on for C.O.T.T, a popup, juggler hybrid:  Yeah it's still in need of MUCH better external armour, and it's not near enough too the multibot weight limit. Still, i'd like to know what you think of the concept.

Most of the people who haven't posted in a while's avatars are gone. (Noticed this while reading peoples showcases for the lulz). Also Reier's avatar disappeared until he came back. Now R0B0's is gone...
Explanation please?
Maybe it's just an in-built feature to save bandwitch or whatever.

Yup, I see myself losing here.
Yeah, i'm gonna try to stay possitive about it though and hope that Disk-O-Inferno can turn to earn */failpun or catchphrase*

What do you mean?
As in a bot with more than one weapon. e.g an axe and a spinner.

I've got an idea for this now.
I may just make one bot though instead of tribute and another for a multibot.
Can you AI two weapons somebody, I can only AI one at the moment (and not even that well TBH)

During that battle between Chaos 2, 13 Black and Razer (Arguably a dethroning moment of suck for both Chaos 2 and Razer), I noticed that after Chaos 2 broke down, Razer kept attacking it after it was immobilised to try and destroy it...
...the very same thing they were bitching about in Series 4! Hypocrites.
there was no agreement in that match to leave the opponent if the other had won... there was for the series 4 match but Pussycat continued the attack after they were beaten.. that was the problem.
also the career ending damage to Chaos 2 was done by Psycho, not Razer from what I heard
also its Hypnodisc 4 that was in the works for Series 8 :P
1 = S3
2 = S4/S5
3 = S6/ E2 (the unreliable one)
What happened to hypno-disk anyway, I've not heard much about it being in demonstrations TBH.

Just had a moment of RW Extreme Fridge Logic.

It pretty much worked thoguh didn't it. They apparently had to work on chaos 2 a lot to get it working again why they didn't buid a chaos 3 at this time i will never know.

It's not the Xbox's fault. Apple are the ones that aren't compatible.
You really don't like apple do you.

If he swaps the Irons for a ramplate, and drops down to DSA, he'll lose a fair chunk of weight. I'm still wondering whether he should lose a Supervolt or not to drop down into the MW class. Normally popups should score fairly quick kills in Stock.
If he removes the side spikes, he could reduce the chasis size enough for it to be a MW.

I don't think anyone's gonna dare vote no for this.
 If only we had vBulliton still I could check who voted what in the poll.... then ban them >:P
Don't worry, they're just trying to be different, i'm sure they'll probably still enter.

the brackets look like wasted weight to me
The placement could be better (a little further out and back), but actually I can see those being very useful and I'm surprised this is the first juggler I've seen with side trappers.
I know, but i thought plows would be a better alternative for the sides. Then again I haven't played stock for a while so i can't quite remember.

You can zoom with other buttons.
I'm pretty sure I can't on my laptop. I can still get by though.
