A Fractured Stock Showcase

Dang, nice.

[Mr. AS]

dat extender setup

[Sage]

disgusting.

[Fracture]

here is a robot. the robot is a face spinner middleweight. this robot will be my entry for back to the roots (no snapper loading or stacking; discs are legit since i just had to rotate them to fit). the robot has double strength aluminum armour. i hope i remembered all the bot building rules

[Mr. AS]

Sides look really vulnerable. FS vs something like and HS or SnS is already a bad matchup, having your sides exposed makes it even worse.

[Clickbeetle]

Of course it could be better but I like the 2007-era look.

That said, you could make the chassis just a tad taller so you can mount the Snappers vertically and make the wedges symmetrical.  Then get rid of that center baseplate anchor and put two baseplate anchors on the sides instead, in front of the Snappers, and put the Redbirds directly on the anchors.  The discs will be further apart and protect the chassis more.

Decided to give this a try; the arms had to be widened to fit the anchors so the bot did have to be made a bit narrower. I get the symmetrical wedges which is nice, so not sure which version I'll keep.

I was thinking you would rotate the anchors so the Redbirds are on the outside, rather than in the center gap.  Bot is no longer narrow.

Ah...



I like the look of it when the weapon motors are covered by the chassis though, so I'll probably still submit one of the first two.

[Mr. AS]

Might as well do the same for the snappers so that it's more stable.

Can't without snapper loading since the Redbirds are in the way. Will probably build an actual Stock version of it at some point.

[Fracture]

More Stock!

I was looking at the Starcore v4 bots for some nostalgia and decided to start another themed team, AW to SHW. It'll be a good way to brush up on my skills in each of the weight classes





Wedgy...grinder? Scraper? Two pinks and plastic



And a sawbot, because sawbots are cool. Also plastic

Gonna try to get creative with the rest of the team, stay tuned

bw looks dope, it's a shame chewblades are trash. how's the wedge on the aw? it looks kinda steep

[Reier]

diggin the bw

wait i just noticed, is the front of the AW trov'd? looks like less than 1 square.

[090901]

how's the wedge on the aw? it looks kinda steep

it's a stock aw, nobody else has a wedge

[Fracture]

Here's another angle on the AW, I don't think it's too bad



No Trov chassis, but I might use it for another bot on the team. Here's the blueprint

And here is that bot! Decided to build the MW first because why not enter it into RedAce's tournament?





Basically hoping that HS will get stuck on the caster arms and that smaller rammers simply get boxed in. Even with the widest chassis it still seems too thin though, it would probably be better with a simple snowplow setup which is limited by the max sphere rather than the chassis blueprint. By the way, I discovered that playing on low resolution allows you to make chassis with slightly larger bounds than high resolution.

[Sage]

nice trov chassis. hard to pull off.

[Gauche Suede]

Speaking of Trov chassises, is there even a way to make angled shapes ? (Like a Y shaped not that has trovved upper body)
