OK these parody bots are just amazing Nice job! my only Suggestion is that you should do something with that extra weight on the hammer config dunno what you would do tho
Parody bots?
I meant in a sense that they take the designs of real life robots and make your own version of it a bit like the king B inspired bot you made. I don't know why but I call robots inspired by real life bots parody bots I don't mean it in a bad way
This newest one wasn't based off anything in real life. At least not intentionally.

Not sure the 6kg I have spare is enough to do that although I could maybe try to drop some weight elsewhere.

Thanks though!  :smile:

those wheel guards are slick, does it need collision wheels if they are protected though?
I went for colsons purely because of their size. They're fairly large diameter wise but also very narrow so they would stay inside the bot rather than being exposed out the sides.

Yet another new one. On a real building kick at the moment. Cranked out 3 bots in as many days. This is Pink Mist. Has two configs, an overhead saw and a hammer. Weapon motor on the saw config is a perm 80 with 3 66cm sawblades, while the hammer on the hammer config is a 60KG one.

XD what a coincidence I was also building a king B ripoff Yours looks way better tho. I like the colour scheme alot and the design is a good rework of kingB's design with out it looking to similar to the real thing
Thanks! Been liking the purple and black look a lot lately. Was trying to avoid making a direct clone of King B when I started but the more I built the more and more similar they started looking  :smile:

Does it even lift?

Looks really really nice
Just about! Has 160 KG worth of counterweights to help the motor our with lifting stuff and seems to be OK at it. Originally I had longer spikes but it kept lifting itself rather than the opponent. Now I've shortened them it seems to work fine though

Another new one. The release of the new version of King Buxton, which has been one of my favourite bots for a long time, inspired me to build this. 4WD rambot with razer motor lifting forks. 4 NPC regulars (Originally had fasts but it was uncontrollable and they weighed too much anyway). Armour is all Alu apart from the poly windows on the top and bottom.

This is a really cool and original design,well done! :)
Thanks! Went through  a bunch of different designs before I settled on this one. Fairly happy with how it turned out though.

Double post but I just finished an (underweight) HW version of this with a srimech and a perm 132 instead of an 80 for the weapon (plus a few other cosmetic refinements) 736.3KG

New bot. This is The Fourth Horseman. 594.0 KG CW with a Perm 80 vert. Originally had tracks but they AGODed like **** so I had to get rid of them in favour of wheels, but I think they still look OK. Would have liked to fit a srimech and use a perm 132 instead of an 80 for the weapon but I just didn't have the space unfortunately. Mix of Alu and Ti armour with 2 TWMR2 drive and a perm 80 for the weapon.

I like the use of Storm hinges, they are very under used.

That's a pretty neat way of stopping the wheels from being on the outside of the robot, I may have to experiment with this...
Wouldn't recommend it. It makes turning painfully slow. I've managed to get it so the wheels are fitted conventionally now and it's much more manoeuvrable.

Another one. This started as a fairly run of the mill 2x perm vert, but after posting it in the AHOL discord I decided to make some changes. Dropped to a single perm 132 which is still pretty decent, and decided to go with a custom single tooth disc. Super underweaponed for a HW but that's not the point of it really. 2 TWMR2 drive which are mounted in a slightly funky way to fit them inside but it worked out OK. Mix of steel, Ti, alu and polycarb armour along with storm 2 skirts around the edge. 799.7KG

That's just adorable. How well can it get under things to grab them?
Not great to be completely honest. Wedge is too steep and getting the killalot claws to ride even remotely close to the ground was a real pain. When it DOES get a grip on something though it works surprisingly well

My obsession with the Razer motor continues. This time it's a Crushtacean-style grabber/crusher. Rather happy with it. **** ton of empty space inside but I'm not really fussed about it. 1 razer motor for the claws. Would have liked 2 separate ones but it's not possible with how the razer motor works. Dual NPC fast drive as usual. The resemblance to the cookie monster is unintentional but imma roll with it. 797.6 KG

what if we just post ra2 stuff on the ra2 forum instead of on ra2 discords  :really_makes_you_think:

also i have great news for you in the fact that mr as left the gtm discord after kill removed his mod powers when he gave his gtm account to lra2 lol

Discord gives the best feedback on bots, the forums provide 0 to very little.
and once you get it, there is no permanent record and it's gone forever. and almost no one else gets to see it as a result.
it's not as good for showcasing your bots, but it's better for getting immediate feedback to improve them.
You hit the nail on the head. If I wanna showcase a bot that I'm happy with I post it here, but if I'm after advice on how to improve I go straight to the discord.
