Okay, so this robot is my personal best, the bot has VERY low ground clearance and has two, single headed picaxe's for a hammer type weapon. Enjoy :)

Can we have an inside shot + armour please?

CrazyClown · « **Reply #2 on:** March 14, 2012, 02:56:17 PM »

Certainly :)

NOTE: weapon was fired to make it easier to see the equipment :)

Paintjob could be more regular, i'm sure you can add armor and more weapons, and a chassis/wedge combo like that is always bad.

Why ? Because hammers require a long swing to deal max damage. Wedge is supposed to put your opponent on top of you. Opponent on top of you = very short swing = pathetic hammer.

Also the second main selling point of a hammer is that it's supposed to attack the top of your opponents. Here it isn't doing that.

Also, use black bateries for your hammer, and remove these pinks. Also you may want to lighten up your weapon extender work, or make it a dual hammer (with 2 bursts). Heavier hammer = slower hammer = less damage, again.

Anglers are bad, just use round extenders (the side attachment point should do)
What's the weight?

Oh i see now, woops :S
With regards to the paintjob, i wanted it to be fitting within the name, CrazyClown. So i thought, bright colours. But i believe it becomes a matter of opiouins then.
I thought wedge shape because i use this bot more for pushing and shoving rather than striking a hammer down on them.
Some of the MW class bots are quite small and easy to push but others not so much and thats when i use the hammer.
Though i have an idea for a 'House Robot' but going to have to trial and error though.

But thanks for the usefull advice, i will keep that in mind when next building a hammer bot :)
regards CrazyClown :)

Welcome to the forums, CrazyClown!

looks like your off to a good start. heres a very helpful website that can help your bot skills:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm
start at the Basic Techniques, and reach your way to the Expert Techniques.

theres also a page that helps you know what components are the best:
http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2stats.htm
for HWs, the best burst motors are DDTs, the best weapons are Iron Spikes, Razor Tips, and Maces, and the best drive motors are HP Z-Teks.

anyways, i like it. :)

You can post as many robots as you want. Otherwise, this forum would be flooded.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2012, 04:04:23 PM »

~~you can post as many stock bots as you want IN THIS THREAD ONLY... one showcase (stock, dsl and custom) per member!~~
I'm not the mod.

Well thank you :3

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 15, 2012, 01:59:01 AM »

Tournaments are not hosted by online multiplayer, all robots will be computer controlled. If you ever want to enter into one, you can read the rules in the discussion/signups section, and send your robot for the tournament host.

CrazyClown · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2012, 03:57:39 AM »

Oh i see now, so its AI driven? Pretty neat :)
I shall Deffantly look that up.

With that chassis, you will be raped in 10 seconds flat.
