Hi.
So, as you can see by the title. I don't usually play stock, ever. But I took a go at it for Box of Nightmares.
A complete contrast with the tournament's name, Birdhouse in your soul is my first attempt at anything competitive. And it's alright.

DSA

Don't expect this to be updated too much. I'm still a DSL man at heart.

Moar irons, less T connectors.

Use maces (probably) Make the weapons spin inwards. How is that plow attached?

Anyway, on the bot.
Not too much i can think of apart from the drive (do HS's need great drive anyway) and perhaps turn the irons inwards and spin it that way.
Is it invertible?
And listen to others, as i'm sure you know.

Also, learn to eFFe and snapper load.

Yeah, maces don't break as easily. It's connected by a T connector.

Super special attatchment point on the back of the snapperII with a red extender and a angle connector.
And I'll change the direction of the irons, does making them spin inwards hinder it hideously or...?

No angle connectors plz.
And angling them inwards makes it moar chewy, moar chewy makes moar damage for that sort of design.

Use maces and try to contain the HPZs inside the chassis

Other than that, not bad :D

Edit: lol @ post count

3333 lol XD

HS that spin inwards make it easier to trap opponents and hold them to cause damage. I'd consider swapping the Irons for Maces as well.

So, effe'ing is easy. Huh.
No idea on what to eat up those last few kg with though. If I had 0.1 spare I could have a red extender + razor on the front but I like my skin.

DP:

I bit the bullet and redid the chassis. It was needlessly tall.
See the pic in my previous post for insides. It's pretty much the same.
It has a caster on the bottom for some protection. Other than that I have no idea what to use the weight on.

Conraaa · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:11:49 AM »

Vertigo's tourney idea piqued my interest and I came out with this.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:14:00 AM »

Okay...

Conraaa · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:17:09 AM »

I have no idea either. I did the mental equivalent of sticking all the possible bot types for Roboleague to a dart board and throwing a dart at it. And this was the result
If I went down to snapperII's I think I should have enough weight left over for an extra iron. Not sure how it would affect the wedge though

NFX · « **Reply #15 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:18:43 AM »

Why the chained DDT's? That's going to be a massive havok bomb, isn't it?

Conraaa · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2011, 07:20:06 AM »

I've tried it out a bit and it hasn't havoked once. Touch wood.
And UnDeadbeat in Narai had chained bursts. And that worked.

Naryar · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2011, 04:28:54 PM »

Chained bursts allow for more swing, and maybe faster swing speed/more torque, however they are horribly awful at self-righting.

Also small wedges are generally seen as better.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2011, 09:19:38 PM »

Looks pretty cool. Needs moar weaponry IMO.

Conraaa · « **Reply #19 on:** June 19, 2011, 05:11:42 AM »

Meanwhile, in my increasingly incorrectly titled stock showcase.

A spiritual successor to Birdhouse in Your Soul.. It's 385.6kg and I have no idea what to use the extra weight on.
