Actually the first thing I did was try and create a new Bot type  :mrgreen: , there are still things that haven't been thought up or scrapped due to lack of combat worthiness. also I think it would be even more possible to create a new MW/HW due to the amount of weight you can work with (hybrids for example are pretty much impossible to build an AW of).

nothing wrong with practicing stacking etc. what I do is I think of something I haven't seen and try and build it by importing and exporting a lot until I get it somewhat combat ready.

The chassis can be made smaller, have the wheels sicking out completely by moving the sides in. Try to stack the batts  as well. But this is a good bot none the less.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Everything that is in that bot barely fit in the chassis already. so i doubt it can be made smaller, but ill try. and there are 2 stacked blacks, tried to stack a 3rd onto it but gave up (if thats even possible?) and why would i want the wheels to be sticking out? i thought it was always better to have them inside the chassis.

A smaller chassis isn't necessary. It looks nicer but honestly will probably waste time and make your wedges worse in the process.

yeah, the wedges are perfect, except for getting under heavens sawmill. what i was wondering is since the bots are just going to go straight up, would it be better to just eliminate the Y extenders and just use black extenders to have 2 spikes close to eachother like my other VS's?

You could try replacing the Y connectors with 2 rounds, eFFeing the irons onto them. If you do that, though, turn the motors round and have the discs in the middle of the bot. You could use the weight left over the lengthen your wedges a little bit, I understand long wedges are better somehow, but it does make you a bit more suceptible to flanking.

why does that remind me of a certain clickbeetle bot?  :rolleyes:

cloning/copying won't get you many comments, I suggest you try things you don't see in showcases instead of things you do see as you will get more interest... that is why Click is so popular :P


Actually that first version is not very much like Deathwatch Queen at all... the only similarity is the iron spikes on Y connectors, and the 2 HPZ + 2 normal Z-tek drive.  It's just that pretty much all dual-disc stock HW VS's look alike.


Also, you should give it a bit bigger chassis so you can get 4WD in there.

Yeah i plan to rebuild it probably this weekend.

Well i spent all day trying to do the Pyscolone MW Pop up challenge. So close but yet so far...
DSA, 4 Razors on each DDT, Wedge on DDT, 2 stacked blacks. just didnt have enough weight for the rubbers :(



and yes i decided to be a LITTLE creative with the splash type thing lol. and also its my first skin, so it sucks.

DP!

Well i got a little bored so i decided to make an ORIGINAL design (so i think).

Pop up/VS hybrid. Does pretty good, i was surprised. can 1 hit with pop up, after razors are gone on the DDt's use Spikes on HPz to grind, or vice versa. Has anti-flank back wedge. DSA, 2 stacked black and 1 non stacked. 4 razors on each DDT, and finally 8 Spikes on HPz.

The thing i like is that either way the robot gets damage, if they go in front they have Razors/spikes hitting them, come from the back they have The HPz spikes hitting them, and if they go from the side, they still have pop up razors, so either way...its a good bot.


Chivalry


it 1 hit R4 and  2 hit copy right!
any comments, ways to improve,?

somebody had a avatar (i think it was squirrel's) of a bot called Heavens Windmill, which had the same chassis shape. so i decided to try and make a pop up out of that chassis shape, then i thought about what ianh said about making a original bot design. so i came up with a pop-up/VS hybrid. wasn't sure if anybody else had made one like it.

EDIT: New bot

And if you couldn't tell, i LOVE pop ups and vs :D

Found out why the name was so small :D

i think i did the MW pop up challenge! but i have 5 razors on each DDT and plastic armour, cause with DSA, it just wouldnt work out.



Can 1 hit k0 most bots. Has a crap load of trouble with HS like flaming whizzer because of the plastic armour.

well im off for tonight....and before i go
*cough* try and beat these pwnator! *cough* :D

I have yet to build a single-wedged MW VS (though I have a double-wedged version with HP drive but with razors as weapons).


As for the popup, I have this:

4. That's the PYS challenge popup. Wasn't wedgy enough, so I turned it into a double-wedged version below with 6 razors.
