I thought it was in reverse!

Ah... hehe, yeah, it would be pretty bad if the razors started out extended and clamped down! I thought it was clear how it worked from the battle shots...

Basically it's a "stack as many spikes in one spot as possible" rammer.

Next up: the HW version!

<3 (the chassis shape is also awesome)

And I also <3 your new avatar. =))

But one problem I see for the upcoming HW version is that HSes in the HW division tend to have a wide stance, meaning they could hit the weapon extenders.

Yeah, well, it's not really designed to take on HS's. Longbow is pretty much ONLY good against wedges and VS's and a few other bots with an exposed bit of chassis. I'm more worried about the greater prevalence of armor on wedges in the HW division--particularly caster armor.

Thanks, I saw Somebody's Pikabob and had to know what the reverse looked like. And once I made it, well then might as well make it my avatar while I'm at it... don't worry, it won't be permanent.

I never suspected Click to do such a thing !

And SB's still better :P

Yay! But I'll never be better than teh Clickbeetlez.

Which is better?

There's only one way to find out!

Spongechu vs Pikabob in a deathmatch until pieces of each other pool together.. what a horrible sight that would be

???? *gasp* it is horrible

There are no words able to describe the unnatural abominations both of you created.

I like the idea of the bot, but I also don't like it at the same time. You made a rammer much less easily beaten by popups, but lowered its strengths and defenses against other types of bots. The point of a wide row of weapons is to counter HS. If you have a bot with a wide open front, then this bot is perfect. But if you don't, like most bots, it would seem to be not very effective.

Pwnator · « **Reply #212 on:** November 28, 2009, 10:16:17 PM »

^^^

I think I have an idea to remedy that. I'll build something soon. :D

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #213 on:** January 08, 2010, 05:51:29 PM »

I said it was coming, and here it is.

As I suspected, on a kg-for-kg basis, it's not as good as Longbow. Mostly because so many HW wedges have abundant armor. However, for those that don't have armor in the middle, a 1 hit KO is almost guaranteed with 24 razors hitting in the space of 4. On a good hit, it can get over 4000 damage on a bare chassis (I was really hoping for over 9000 though...).

It's another specialist bot. It's good at beating what it's supposed to beat, and bad with anything else except VS's. Sarissa can beat most VS's even if they have armor in front.

Info on the name: A sarissa is an 18-foot spear used in phalanx warfare. Appropriate considering this bot's length.

:O

Finally a solution for rammers on how to beat popups!

Its Super awesome!

Sage · « **Reply #215 on:** January 08, 2010, 06:04:15 PM »

Very nice! I reckon its gets a little useless after the first hit though...

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #216 on:** January 09, 2010, 11:51:16 AM »

I spy in one of the pics that your razors are pointed downwards...

If this has been mentioned earlier in the showcase I apologize. But, is the AI set up so that after the initial ram a set of razors pops down to strike again as the chassis moves upwards? I wonder how effective it would be to have a plow further back behind the razors to popdown at a certain point so that the bot will halt... move back... and strike again. I would imagine, as is, that the bot probably flies over a few wedges after the initial hit.

Cool concept click!

looks solid

Why is it that i faint everytime i see one of Clicks bot's?

Rolo · « **Reply #219 on:** January 31, 2010, 03:45:07 PM »

When I worked my way back to GTM I would've never expected Clickbeetle to STILL come up with original idea's. I've been checking out your designs for what, 7 years?
Thought Robot Arena 2 would've stopped evolving by now, but with newly discovered glitches I see new things get possible that in the past could only be accomplished by AAM or .bot file editing.
Keep it up, Clickbeetle
