Also, the skirts are slightly less IRL than what a set of flipper segments would provide so use a chain of those connected to make a more realistic flipper.
Or do what I do and use armour panels as flipper panels. See my showcase for examples. I'd also raise the drive motors up a click and use bigger wheels, partly so they stick out the back and stop you getting stuck, and partly so that they'll last longer (if you use Vlad wheels, you can bolt a small DSL disc onto them as wheel armour). It's getting better, but it's still got a little way to go.

Upgraded Vertigo once more. Taking TheRoboteer's suggestion, it now has a bar srimech with supports, which looks a bit more realistic. I also extended the two wedges on the sides, to stop it doing a forward somersault every time it hits something. Might rustle up a proper skin for it and enter it into Badnik's artbot tourney, since it's probably the artiest bot I have.

So if Hellhound wins its qualifier, it'll face my other bot Fire Tornado in the second round... that'll be interesting. In any case, I'm hyped to see how Fire Tornado will do (especially since it's seeded 5th!)

Some crazy-looking stuff being entered here, this is gonna be an awesome tourney.

Random seeding. It would be interesting to see how the tournament would go if I seeded the bots "Properly" though.
Oh, I see. Well, I'm still excited to see how this tourney pans out.

I feel like the chassis could be made more compact, and you could put some better wedges on the front, but doesn't look too bad overall.

As for Blue 2, I'm pretty sure it has way, WAY too many batteries. I know flippers need plenty of battery but that's gotta be pushing 500,000 total units, which is compete overkill. Take some of them out and you'll have more than enough space and weight for some T64-Fasts, and maybe some wedging on the front like Avalanche suggested. And if you want it to be IRL, then the skirts won't cut it (I had to learn that myself). Again, though, looks pretty good, and clearly very powerful, just needs refining.

I've had this stuck in my head recently. I blame my dad.

Put it on a team with some similar VS/HS and you could call it the International House of Pancakes.
You mean the International House of Paincakes ;)

Looks amazing, I love it. And I second that, I'd love to see a mini bacon-bot for this.

I'd say fewer batteries and a more powerful weapon motor. You might JUST be able to fit a Tornado Mer Gearbox in there without having to rebuild the chassis. Looks good though!

I don't usually play Stock but I might give this a go just for the heck of it.

tbh if you are looking for more oddball bots or w/e you shouldn't allow shell spinners made using the DSL discs since they literally all look the same

honestly haven't built many shell spinners myself so thanks for the info, I've added it to the rules.
Yeah, I mean there's not really much you can do with the shell spinner parts to make 'em look unique, it's mostly just "flat sides or angled sides" and then maybe a little decoration on top. I hope DSC puts coloured spinner shells in one of his IRL packs.

I don't think I'll put myself forward for captaincy but I'd happily join in with this, it seems like fun :D

That is a pretty good Kronic replica, i like it. I too have been working on a replica.

(Image removed from quote.)
I LOVE it. All it needs is the polycarbonate panel on the back.
