yea. i'd ditch the weird motor guard though and just flat out put a light armor panel on the bottom of the main extender. the ztek already has more hp than those extenders and the main support is way more exposed than the motor is.

i really feel like you're going to regret removing the plow off the VS, fracture matters waaaay more than HP on a trapper. they're just gonna knock off both skirts and leave you with a very skinny spinner that'll fall over.
what i was talking about earlier was just using one disk and mounting the weapons in the standard cross shape, seems like 2 is a bit of a waste of weight for a LW.

mini vipress could be good. I think the VS is salvageable though. just re-add the plows and fiddle with it from there. try to move the vs support back and up a little bit to protect it. you're not gonna win most damage wars with a trapper so don't try to make it something it's not.

Some unnamed rentals I threw together if someone wants to use them for Centauri 2, you need only ask~~
I know that ironforge isn't everyone's cup of tea, but some still want to enter the tournament. Myself and some other users are making some bots that those not confident in their ability to build in ironforge can still enter. Loaner bots basically. Also potentially lets EU builders participate in a way if they want to build.

 
pvp pusher.png

Pusher, st3
Strengths: extremely powerful drive, basically invulnerable from the front, effective when inverted
Weaknesses: poo damage, mediocre chassis armor
Basically it is a control bot that is meant to survive abuse and push opponents into hammers and pits. Duck basically. Very low chance that any bot entered will be able to out-muscle it or destroy the plow. as long as you don't let yourself be flanked or hammered, you're indestructible.

 
pvp hs1.png

HS, st1
Strengths: damage, decent armor
Weaknesses: weak drive, unstable after losing weapons
There's not a lot of real damaging bots in C2 as of yet, there is potential for an HS to be very dangerous. Pretty stable and has decent armor. Small enough that the octagon shouldn't give it major trouble.

 
pvp hs2.png

Undercutter, pl3
Strengths: damage, wheel-killer
Weaknesses: weak pushing, vulnerable to flanking
Pretty good damage for the field, should be able to destroy some wheels. Undercutters are better in pvp than AI imo cause they can capitalize better on opponents' screw-ups and cripple them.

EDIT: one more
 
pvp vs1.png

VS, tit5
Strengths: good wedge coverage, damage, self-righting
Weaknesses: mediocre drive, exposed chassis (though sloped sides reduce this to a degree)
Just a solid ol gutripper. if you can stay under the opponent it is really hard for them to do anything. still RA2, after all.


So yea. built em for fun, but if you want to enter the tournament and use one just shoot me a PM.

i'd go #2. FS are really hard to make good in ironforge as all the weapons with piercing have real low HP.
you probably could still do real good with the VS even if the weapon gets ripped off due to the plows and drive power.

on the VS i personally would also change the weapon setup a bit since it seems a bit unfocused and doesn't really protect the motor much. maybe doing like 1 small dsl disk and 4 beaters might be better. also it would help the stability if you got rid of the skirt hinge the weapon is attached to (heavy anyway) and used just an anchor with light extenders. you could add an armor plate on the front to protect it.
you may or may not want to remove one of the plows, it would definitely make it easier to use the octagon with a narrower bot but the coverage with 2 is also really nice.


look forward to whatever you pick!

week and a half left for signups. don't wait till the last minute to enter! :claping the sooner you enter, the better chance you have of getting in and the sooner we can get going.

edit: also, 8bean has generously offered for one of his new LWs to be used by someone who wants to enter but isn't confident on their Ironforge building ability. PM him if you're interested! I've added a new 'rental bots' section directly under the signups with a link to it. If anyone else has bots they want to build (but not drive) and put in as a rental, just let me know and I'll link to the showcase.
