hehe, Nary = Years, Me = Year and 4 months :D

but thats RA2/ GTM :P

I am thinking seriously about a FW SS or HS properally built, metal armors, electronics, wiring, hiring professional to make controllers, etc but Im not sure if I want to pour that about of money into something that cant fight in any comps

Alright, I'll have to intervene somehow.

I think I'd build a wide front-hinged flipper (Like Firestorm, Envy, or Cassius II), or a low-pressure flipper, like Turbulence. They might not be as powerful, but I hear they're a lot more reliable.

Thats a surprise.

it was just an example, if he likes him or not

ya know, after my BW thwack/wedge fails this month, I'm gonna put a huge dustpan on him

That darn dustpan! XD

And Nary, Cassius II was indeed only mentioned as an example, really.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #105 on:** March 07, 2010, 02:31:12 PM »

yep.
a shame that TDD got Retired, such a good bot

BTW that darn dustpan! and S.O.B. were the same bot.

Stagfish · « **Reply #106 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:43:10 AM »

if you put a dustpan on your bot it would be too big

Joeblo if you ever do get around to building it. Just buy a Vantec. You would need one for your whole drive and makeing your own ESC (speed controller) will cost you a a lot more money and might not work as well.

thanks for some tips...

I probably wont bother since we have a lack of Robot Combat here, in stead I spent $400-$500 on off road R/C gear. about a month ago :P

I was thinking of actually using some Traxxas stuff for a robot, since I am really familiar with them, they got hard and fast (motors) and are pretty cheap also.

but I will probably put money into a brush-less motor for my Traxxas Stampede before I build a full blown robot :P

I've had an idea for a bot with a vertical spinning disc for a while, but what I'd do is make the disc hollow, and have some weights held towards the center by bungee cords. Which makes it easier to spin up. Once it gets up to a certain speed, the centrifuge would throw the weights out towards the edge of the disc, giving more force behind the blows. =P

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #109 on:** May 11, 2010, 03:03:38 PM »

Sounds cool, NFX.

Still liking the sound of a Front-hinged flipper meself, though.

No, the BW Called - Alabama Sweeper,

TommyProductionsInc · « **Reply #111 on:** May 27, 2014, 12:49:44 AM »

Bump:
Basically, I would make this:

playzooki · « **Reply #112 on:** May 27, 2014, 04:02:00 AM »

topkek on wheels, powered by the spirit of satan. the weapon would be 40kg of pure swag

it would weigh 100kg

cephalopod · « **Reply #113 on:** May 27, 2014, 07:01:53 AM »

Well apparently what I'd build is a 2WD Beetleweight lifter, with enough armour to shake off blows from anything, seem as though that's my Summer project...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 27, 2014, 07:51:19 AM »

If I had the real cash money for it I'd build a heavyweight robot. Tough construction, thick steel plow on the front and a vertical Manta-esque disc on the back.

Probably Rob · « **Reply #115 on:** May 27, 2014, 07:57:09 AM »

I'd probably build the first incarnation of The Solution, since I'd go for something basic at first (and/or at all), that and I'd be too lazy to build something complex.

Shield · « **Reply #116 on:** May 27, 2014, 08:04:38 AM »

Probably something just like Ziggy, except with two flippers and enough power to do some damage from just the flip alone.

Thyrus · « **Reply #117 on:** May 27, 2014, 08:12:30 AM »

Kishin. with enought money and knowledge i would turn it into a lifter with the same idea behind it.

martymidget · « **Reply #118 on:** May 27, 2014, 08:40:09 AM »

A BW HS. Most likely.

thesnowingsteak · « **Reply #119 on:** May 27, 2014, 10:43:07 AM »

I've been thinking about this for years and I've ended up with a rammer that looks similar to Panzer mk2 with a spinning bar on the back and a co2 powered fipping scoop for the front.

And to finish here is the list of all those names in those years with the last being the name I'd use today.
