Someday to be made in Ironforge, hopefully...

It's definitely better now. Lots of protection, 10 mm. Aluminum, 2 car batts, same powerful drive,  4 irons and a central razor tip.

Okay! sounds good. I'll see if I can reboot the FS today.

ok, a few things ive noticed over your last few bot dumps

*you should never be using a wheel other than shiny hubs or rubber wheels (slipperbottoms if you absolutely need to). fatboys and n-12s are just wasted weight.
*grey bulb needs more weaponry and less drive. 12 razors is nothing on a middleweight hs, and you're wasting weight on the extender work - you could use one anchor and a pair of round extenders for that same setup.
*your angled poker thing is overpowered i think, or at least you're using more weight on batteries than you should be. re-arrange things so you can stick a nifty in there and try to upgrade the drive too. redbirds kinda suck
*i like the idea behind the snowplow popup, and i think there's some potential behind it. re-shape the chassis to eliminate extra space, and maybe swap the two snappers with a ddt. do you have one black or two?
*i'm sure you can rotate the black 90 degrees on your hammer and fit the rads in the chassis, then use the weight (or some clever black extender use) to angle the plows out a little bit (like you have on the popup) to improve its trapping ability. if you have weight after that, try to sneak a caster on the front. the t connector is wasted weight as well, you could use a sideways black extender instead.
*insectoid clone is pretty decent, but i'm like 90% sure emergency wedges are generally worse than small wedges when it comes to getting under things, just because they have more surface area.

you're definitely coming along as a stock builder, but you have a ways to go still. keep at it dude!

Yes, those last two are terrible. The bot with fatboy wheels is my N00b Warz entry. Reboots at hand.
I appreciate your support.

Got it. However, that will eliminate the rupt in ARTEMIS.

Reboots at hand...

They tend to cause razors to deliver more damage. If you have more than 2 razors, then round extenders are best. I tried both combos, and Y connectors just proved more useful on some popups.

also why i suggested ballasts.

razors could work but I would attach them onto the ends of beaters probably since they will fall off fast. alternatively some users have used crushing teeth like this but in a shallower cone. can't say how well it works cause I haven't made an FS with that setup but I doubt it's worse than razors.

ballasts will help your stability, as will wider wheelbase and/or side armor.

So this is what it sounds like- LW face spinner with ballists to keep front end down, car battery for power, crushing teeth on disks, and snowplows for protection and for luring opponents to the weapons.
Other than that, it sounds like the drive's perfect.

for future reference 200kg is MW in ironforge weightclasses.

FS are hard to make good in IF just because nearly every weapon has normals and you do not want normals on an FS if you can help it. razors and beaters/hammers are the only weapons that have none, but they either suffer from low HP or low damage so it's hard to get it to work well. You can work with weird inverted cone setups for your weapons but good luck.

in other words, your weapons will do almost no damage currently unless you just ram people. I'd recommend downgrading your weapon motors to the small ztek as I really think what you've got now is overkill. using the weight to add more weapons/external armor is much more important. if you are determined to do an FS, some sort of trapping setup with plows may be worth a try to help protect you and feed opponents into your weapons.

1 carbatt and 2 duracels is also the same weight as your current battery setup and will last longer. I would also recommend 2 ballasts or so since you can add up to 4 without it counting against your weightclass. it would help you not get knocked around so much with your fast drive.

BIG help. Thanks. Again, this is my first bot, so it's not perfect. Also, I rammed 2 bots with this bot so far, and they got a BIG ouchie. This is why it has powerful drive. I do see your point about lower weapon motors. Whenever I run this bot at full speed, and rotate the spinners, It'll flop around until I stop the drive.

About normals, Are you suggesting razors?

R. AI v2.0 under development. I will accept teams from other members for this AI pack.
To submit your team, simply create a zip of the bots and teams and PM it to me. USE THIS BINDING FOR ALL BOTS.

 list.append(("Enter Bot Name","Omni",{'radius':0.1,'range':99,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':20,'turnspeed':99,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16)}))

Also, submit a txt file containing your team name and motto, and add the image for your team.

There will be reboots and new teams in it from me as well.

Rebooted Artemis.

It's a popup that rupts for some reason, probably due to unnatural extender setups. It does a TON of damage and gets constant 1 hit KOs.

With that said, this should be a big hit for the next BOTM.

Again, noooooo replies.

Anyway, more bots...
LW poker. To prevent it from looking like Reckless Infiltrator, I angled all the spikes and the piston. It's now an anti-popup bot. VERY difficult when it came to AIing this bot.

a better version of BOTH Stromata and Grey Bulb (nicknaed "Not Stromata" by a few members). It's just as deadly, but now invertible, making it just plain deadly.

tried to make a popup with snowplow protection. The weapons are damaging, but a little "whacky" (pun intented)
 
screenshot_14.bmp


I learned how to get axle loading to work- made a LW hammer. It can hit wedges as they slide underneath it...

Problem? sssssppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

SHW rammer. Fun build.

HW poker like Insectoid. No too similar, so don't ask about similarities, please.

Okaaaay...

I rebuilt a face spinner. It's very stable thanks to n12 wheels. DSA.

These are some of the bots that didn't turn out right...
on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this bot? I'm curious.

AntBot (creator of robodestruction) actually has a similar robot named SLAM! as well.

"Slam" as in the actual bot from BattleBots?

Gotcha.

Anyway, I managed to squeeze in a few fights...
 
RP1-PARZIVAL destroys Tanya!.bmp

This is the second victory over Tanya! for RP1-PARZIVAL.

This was quite the fight, as both bots lost parts. This was moments before JANE havok explodes.

Problem with driving someone else's bot- they'll try to make it lose by smashing it into hazards. I'd like it if we controlled our own bots, just so it's more competitive and not suicide fighting.
neat idea, though, and I think this tournament's a wonderful idea.
