Redo it with a black and you'll be able to eat up the weight while making it invertible at the same time.

Aww, Death By Purple 3 grew up.

Doesn't look too bad, though. What you could do is use more casters along the front corners to give some slightly better protection to the wheels/motors.

Dammit. Trying to rebuild it and collision meshes keep trying to escape.

You might want to try using the Pause button while you're eFFeing the maces on.

This is probably going to sound completely stupid but when do you press the pause button while effeing the maces on? I have never been quite sure.

NFX · « **Reply #25 on:** June 19, 2011, 09:36:50 AM »

You spin the tribars, then press the Pause button when the mace is in a space. After that, switch tabs while still paused, then press the Pause button again to unpause it.

One entry to Roboleague, the wedges are alright. Not exactly going to set the world alight I know but i've sure as

made worse.

For future revisions you can try trimming the chassis with a

/_______\ shape rather than

_| |_
|_________|

The smartzone seems a bit far forward, at this point it looks more like a hammer than a popup. Unless, of course, that's what you were going for.

More popups? EXCELLENT!

For the pop-up, you should make the extender red on the black side.
Just for more asymmetrical-shenanigans

KLONE :P

Now, normally, I wouldn't touch a stock tourney with a 10 foot barge pole, as the space I waste by going out in Round 1 could have gone to someone with talent. But as there isn't a cap on entries for ironbot, I thought I might as well. Not expecting much at all from this one.

Yes, it is named after an ABBA song.

Maybe rotate them at an angle so it can kinda juggle bots?

The Ounce · « **Reply #35 on:** July 29, 2011, 09:13:44 PM »

I like it, it reminds me of Disaster Transport somewhat.

I'm not sure if the weight's a typo, but it if isn't, why not use the remaining weight for longer wedges or a couple more casters.

Also, how stable is it? Does it bounce or tip over when it hits your opponent?

Conraaa · « **Reply #36 on:** July 30, 2011, 04:59:03 AM »

It's as stable as a bot that top heavy can be.
I would add a couple more castors, but as ironbot has a max of 6...
I opted for snapper2 wedges instead. Wedges are better now. It's now 798kg.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #37 on:** July 30, 2011, 02:05:03 PM »

The Ounce beat me to it...reminded me of DT immediately too.

The best thing you could do for that bot is to take some measures to get the Green Snaps on for the wedges and get rid of the blue ones altogether. Ideally, you should probably resort to having only 2HPs for Disks. This will make the bot more stable, and allow you to use more damage-producing components as well as more efficient wedges. The maces, also, are a relatively poor weapon choice for the system at hand.

*two cents terminated*

*EDIT: Your last post was just seen. Take note of my other points.

Conraaa · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2011, 02:15:30 PM »

Duly noted. What do you think I should use instead of maces though? Iron spikes? I am reluctant to use razors as this one is for Ironbot.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Conraaa, you remtard! You're entering a crap robot into 090901's tourney!"
And you'd probably be right. But it's just not any crap robot.

It's a crap robot with different sounds
