Hello all, I've been a long time lurker and bot builder. I've decided its finally time to share my creations with the public.

Here's a showcase of some of my projects.

Stock 1.4
---------------
Flashpoint:

Another project of mine recently... Flashpoint



Wanted to make something replica-esque of tombstone from battlebots. Ended up with this monstrosity...

It's really just a simple horizontal spinner with 27 iron spikes distributed between 3 clockwise spinning z-techs. There's certainly more efficient ways of approaching this design but i'm happy with the finished result.

Even though it was a for fun project it still hits pretty hard since all of its motors spin the same way. (Which makes it a real paint to control!)

Weight: 799.8 lbs
Armor: DSA

 

 

Stock RA2CF
---------------
Critical Mass:

-Description-
Weight: 799.9
Weapons: x4 Chained Ztech motors -> x4 tribars with iron spike
Powerplant: x2 Ztech motors
Armor: Plastic? I will have to check again.

Critical mass was my first foray into working with RA2CF. Although the bot's overall setup isn't too practical or redundant, its weapon system is one of the most lethal I've ever devised. With some more tweaking with CF I might get the weapons mounted more efficiently, but honestly, I like being on the edge in weight. Nightmare served as my inspiration in design. Everything else aside, it looks absolutely menacing.
