Huh? Why is the middle extender red? Oh, no reason. I just felt like adding a little splash of color.

successful sage-trolling is successful

Though he seems not to have noticed. Or he's just playing high and mighty while he is in fact, brimming with rage when someone posts a pic of a red extender.

More of a reason why all my bots use red extenders =D

BW3 looks pretty good to me. I suspect he might beat my entry.

So, I tried to make a MW bear claw VS after seeing TeamXtreemer's LW, but it was plagued with AGOD. After replacing the bear claws with irons, going through several revisions, replacing the irons with razors, and going through several more revisions, I eventually ended up with something completely different than what I was originally building. But it's quite good.

I'm not going to be subtle. I'm planning on entering this in Box of Nightmares, because I expect it to be a popup and HS-fest and Red Sky at Morning performs reasonably well against both of those bot types. I'm not sure how it will do against these newfangled one-wheeled axle-mount-stacking 18-mace HS though. Those might be a problem.

"But Click, if people know what you're entering won't they enter something that can beat it?"

Well perhaps... but if they do, it will probably be a VS (Red Sky is really bad against other VS), which means the tournament will be less of a popup and HS-fest, which will make it more interesting. Either way I get something I want.

Oh yes, it has DSA and it can self right.

whoa it's like ZodiaK on crack.

And I'm quite surprised how it can self-right with that 140cm extender.

Meganerdbomb · « **Reply #304 on:** June 03, 2011, 10:40:58 PM »

I like it. I was never a fan of HS's and popups myself. Is that the 150 cm extender?

It self rights by reversing the spinner so the 140cm extender doesn't get in the way.

That extender is there mainly because I had an extra attachment point, some extra weight, and nothing to do with it, but it does help a little with stability.

why don`t you shorten it and put an spike (or two) on it`s end?

Because that extender is only 5 kgs, so if I made it any shorter it would actually be heavier. :P And even if I got rid of it entirely I wouldn't have weight for another razor.

I see what you did there.
.....What would be funny, though, is round 1 you get to battle Sage.

Ehh. For some reason, I don't like it. Vs isn't big enough for my tastes.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #312 on:** June 04, 2011, 03:51:21 AM »

Should have tiled the skin with red extenders too :P

It's snapper mounted BTW.

Bot for RoboLeague. A rammer/popup hybrid like my HW Cold Front, except I made it a true popup so the popup razors can be used for ramming as well.

It's designed to be durable like a rammer so it can take hits from spinners, but also able to score quick KO's which will be important for winning the qualifying matches. However, it's also surprisingly good at flipping bots OOTA, even with only 1 Snapper. The leverage must be just right or something. Probably about 25% of the time it wins, it's by OOTA (depending on bot type).

Wedges are decidedly average, not bad, but there's plenty of bots that can get under it too. However Cold Snap has an advantage in the event of a wedge-lock, which happens quite frequently: the middle razors can take off the opponent's wedge while the bots are stuck together.

That looks sick.

Too bad neither of my bots are wedges :P

It's just dawned on me how screwed I am in Roboleague.
Very nice Clickbeetle.

I guess you'll hate pwn;s entry too.
