Its been nearly 2mths since I last updated this showcase, bc I've been focusing on doing my tournament, now I'm working on doing the AI for my RR3 entries, then when that's done I'll try to get the second half of my coloured hammers pack out.
On the subject of RR3 entries, I've done quite abit of work on my CW entry, Ice Pick, in the last few days. I've shortened its wedgelets, added a counterweight to the weapon, cleaned up the body and replaced the Typhoons on the axe head w/ axe components.
I've also reworked my HW entry, Heatwave. I have BFEd its chassis to be exactly 40cm tall, changed the wheels to smaller ones and made its weapon look like claws. Also a new skin inspired by Firestorm.
Pitstop has received a rebuild, as seen in Nabi cup 2, its much smaller now and the panelwork is much better than it was.
On the subject of Pitstop, its front-hinged variant, Turbo, has had its wedgelets replaced by a wedge edge on a skirt hinge as I felt the wedge being at a 22.5 degree angle was too small an angle for the wedge edge on the main wedge to work properly.
Now onto new builds, I've built a sequel to Dust Blower, now a CW, as I felt I could do a dustpan flipper much better than the original. Not very interesting to look at, so that's smth to work on.
Falcon Tank is a vert that instead of having a full wedge, just has wedgelets sticking out of a steel shield in front of a ti 10 chassis. I've also BFEd the chassis to exactly 40cm tall to fit the shield.
I built a config bot to enter into counter pick, and what I built is Hip Pop Party, its configs are an undercutter and a dustpan.
No Hammers All Beans got a sequel, electric beangaloo, which will be my LW entry into RR3. Its overall a much sleeker design than the original, 4wd on astroflights rather than 2wd on slimbodies, meaning it doesn't have to be an ugly chunky box, the beans skin is now only on the top panel rather than all over the bot, the wedge and wedgelets are now ti and hinged, w/ the wedge having corners now, the wedgelets are also further apart and don't stick out as far, the bot doesn't look like a dork.
Last bot in this update, Wall Smasher 2k20, a sequel to a bot I never entered into a tournament. Accidental Shunt clone here, I should try to spice up the design. Very powerful weapon tho.
