Well, you wasted weight on a DDT when you're just bursting one motor. Using a Snapper II instead (or a Snapper2 if it wobbles too much). And, your wedges aren't symmetrical. Turn the left snapper around. Also, HSes will rip that tribar off in first contact, so a dual angle FS might be better for that. And try to upgrade the drive since the wedges won't do anything with motors that weak.

Both look very solid. :D

To solve the front-flipping part, you could try rearranging the flipper segments to have longer wedges, or just lower the value of its range (or radius, I forgot).

Yeah. MWs are just a tad larger than LWs, but can be almost as destructive as HWs when built right. XD

No one's stopping you from building one. ;)

Wakawakawakawakawaka DP!

SD tried a MW HT clone before and didn't fare well, so I tried my own and this is what i came up with:



Breaking Wheel - DSA, CB stacked in black, and you can see the rest. It performs decently, given that blue wedges suck. The only problem is that it Havoks when it turns around and when the wedges hit the wall hard. Oh well, still looks cool. :D

Err... it's MW VS, 'CAMS. :P

Anyway, I like Proteus' design (Click?), but Sage wins my vote. :D

Hmmm... though Sparkey's advice is a bit off, he did give me an idea. Well, you already have a blade protecting the wedge extender, but attach it to the extender using the attachment point closer to the small wedge. For the other attachment point, attach a weapon of some sort (maybe a mace) to protect the DDT.

You need to stop using a lot of snappers. A single DDT with 5 razors is better than that.

LWs are 248.9kg (occasionally 249kg when the game allows it). Stacking's difficulty depends on the components you're trying to stack. Pinks are easy. In the chassis tab, zoom in to the bot as close as you can, and open the components tab (without touching the bot box). Click the pink, hover it over the previous pink, and when the game allows it, attach.

Also, I'm not talking about the height. I meant the length. Stack the pink and you can have a shorter chassis.

That would be an awesome upgrade for the Kindle, which is only $10 cheaper. But then, there's this:

Beetles are 175kg. Also, shinies are lighter than smalls. And one snapper is enough since you only have 2 pinks. Shrink the chassis and stack the pinks (it's quite easy, actually), and add more weapons to the snapper. :D

Darn. You must've hit Warhead 2's sweet spot. :P

Anyway, how does it fare against fast wedges?

If you can't stack them into the double blacks, enlarge that chassis dimension by a pixel or two. Works for me.

I would still prefer using a plow instead of casters since the bot will tend to slide around and will have a hard time gaining grip. My HS doesn't have a problem with that since its drive is very well-protected. Your drive is spread out so a gut-ripper can take it away. But it still looks nice. :D

Not bad at all! At most you would only need 10 ants for this (6-8 would be nice), and put the MEs as close to the front as possible, then do a setup like this:



And swap the Overkills with Technos. Not sure about the efficiency of the iron setup, but you can use the free weight on metal hinge wedges and 3mm plastic. :D

It's fine for me. Not sue about the others, though.

Both of these designs are common (you just used different weapons). How about something a little more unique? :D

What can he do with 10kg freed?


[Edit] Hmmm... you could probably swap to rubbers, shorten your wedges by 20 cm and attach razors beside the FSes for protection.

Uh-oh. Can anyone put up a .zip file of The Rookies along with the EXTRA bots? I seem to have deleted them in my original version. D:
