BEST MULTIBOT EVER.

Hell, i consider myself as rather creative, but i feel really small here.

I agree with Infinite you never cease to take this game to another level :-)

I'm very interested to see this in action.

Post the bot files! :D

This warrants the full-sized smiley:

Absolutely brilliant concept. You are the most creative builder on the forums by a lightyear.

I kinda feel sorry for the lagging click, it's to bad.

Could you add an extra drive for the shield bot?

Can you incorporate other bot designs into it?

pyscolone · « **Reply #149 on:** July 13, 2009, 10:08:24 PM »

I've actually fiddled with such a design. Not so much into refining it to work like that. Nonetheless it was a VS design where it had a 'shield' bot but had a drivetrain and frontal armor becuase I didn't think of it as a meatsheild. The 2nd bot had 2 VS's on it just high enough to not graze the other bot. Was a failure lol

I am not worthy. I am not worthy. I am not worthy. I am not worthy. One of the best, most original, most effective bots I have ever seen.

Please post the bot files! A vid would be great too.

One thing I must ask.
Why do you have that black anyway? Servos don't need power.

But the Snappers do. I needed to have some way for the shell to do controlled movement if I was going to enter it in RAW2. And I didn't want to use regular wheel drive because I didn't want the bot to be dependent on the shell's survival, and I feared it would reduce the effectiveness of the wedges. So it hops around with the wedges instead.

OK everyone, I'll upload the bot files soon since there's been a lot of requests. They are unavailable at the moment but you will get them eventually.

Click, that multibot is amazing! The only problem i can see with it would be that the only weapon you have once the shell gets killed is the VS on the core... But it seems like it would be effective when both are alive... That really is a great bot though xD

JoeBlo · « **Reply #153 on:** July 19, 2009, 11:41:17 PM »

Click explained in the post that if the shell dies it still remains on the outside of the core working the same as it did before

can you send me a zip with the noble sacrifice baot file in it so i can study it?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #155 on:** July 22, 2009, 02:55:24 PM »

Stopppppp.

Time to do some beating of a dead horse...

Here are the .bot files for Symbiote, for your fighting pleasure.

I wish the bot exchange would get finished...

Warning: for most bots, you need to do a little Python monkey business in order to get the bots joined quickly enough.

No new bots to post, but I have some half-finished projects and a few ideas that you may eventually see. A couple of somewhat original HS's (for an HS at least) and an idea for a Heaven's Sawmill 2.

R1885 · « **Reply #157 on:** July 23, 2009, 10:23:18 PM »

Sweet.

In other words I will be watching for this showcase like a hawk.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #159 on:** August 01, 2009, 05:01:02 PM »

I sure have been building a lot of HW's. I need to build some MW's and LW's.

But not today, cause I have a couple of HW HS's. (Sorry, no super awesomely original bots like Symbiote and AWTH. But they're at least semi-original.)

Ever notice how some HS's have an annoying tendency to get under bots they have no business getting under? Charybdis is an attempt to make a "wedgy" undercutter HS. The weapons are all as close to the ground as they can get without touching it, and the spikes are arranged in order to make a wedge shape for getting under bots. Obviously, it can't usually get under popups, but it can quite easily get under other HS's and rammers and cut up their bottoms. As such, it is an effective HS-killer: it can beat any HS in Starcore.

Since it only has 3 weapon motors and 27 weapons, I also armored it up more than the average HS, so when it gets under bots the vulnerable parts don't get hit.

And the other HS, you guessed it, Scylla:

Where Charybdis is an undercutter good against HS's and bad against popups, Scylla is the opposite: an overcutter good against popups and bad against other HS. With caster armor on the bottom, very fast, light weapons, and lots of spikes pointing down, it can beat any popup I fight at least occasionally.

I also like the symmetry of this bot a lot. Very aesthetically pleasing. The only drawback is that it's hard to tell which end is the front.
