What post has Kobalos in it? Search only brings up this robot, and the post you just made.

Possible CC entry

In a quick test, it KO'd Hypnodisk pretty easily

A bit more progress-

Ohhhhh the Mini Apollyon. Cool.

You should build the RA2 Kobalos next

Wow, that's actually impressive. How'd it get that high?

Some sort of gyro dance?
Or just the impact

Probably the same thing that happened to The Swarm against Final Destiny but less epic and in small scale.

It was more me launching upward after hitting an angled shell.

Apollyon finished 3-2, with losses to Surgical Strike and Devour, wins over Zandor, Cantankerous Cowpoke and Jumbonator. Due for a complete rebuild.

Moros finished 2-2, with losses to Steel Shadow and General Disarray, wins over Gloomy and Formidable Fustigator 0.9. Ready for Moto 2012 or wherever I take it next.

Videos will slowly trickle online. Got a ton of footage in 720p.

Moros vs. Formidable Fustigator 0.9

Nice! *Works out who might be Mike*

powerrave · « **Reply #571 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:33:55 AM »

that was awesome!

NFX · « **Reply #572 on:** February 21, 2011, 10:51:10 AM »

That was a pretty good match. Nice display of destructability on your part.

Apollyon 3 is in the works

NFX · « **Reply #574 on:** February 22, 2011, 12:42:32 AM »

Looks like a pretty decent bot, but would it not be better designed with the front as a trapezoidal shape, so there's more against the ground to get under your opponent with?

Vertigo · « **Reply #575 on:** February 22, 2011, 12:20:10 PM »

Wait, why do you remake bots so soon? :P

Do your bots not last more than one event, because the more recent apollyon has only had five fights, and you're already retiring it?

Lol, Explosion's had EASILY 50 fights by now, if not nearing 100

It took some nasty hits between the Surgical Strike and Devour fights. About 2 of the internal frame members aren't bent in some way, and all of the bolt holes that would hold the wedge in place are stripped out.

NFX · « **Reply #577 on:** February 22, 2011, 01:28:29 PM »

Make it out of Hardox. =D

Nah, but I'm just wondering now if the shape of the front plow is to deflect spinner blows.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #578 on:** February 22, 2011, 01:44:42 PM »

Yeah, it's going toward the style that I used in Apollyon for Battlebots, where the sides are bent back to provide better protection. (I didn't model that in as it'll be cut flat first)

Also, 1/8" titanium for the wedge instead of 3/32" steel.

NFX · « **Reply #579 on:** February 22, 2011, 01:46:25 PM »

That explains it. Hopefully it should prove a good deal more durable. Is it fast enough to get to the spinners before they spin up?
