Since I'm an irresponsible person who will skim on life, I have decided to showcase more robots.


It's wedgy


This one is not too special inside. 2 blacks, 2 snappers, and it has DSA.


Plastic. I haven't seen a LWHS with this setup posted here. Hooray?

why not 3 razers instead of the blade on the popup? and isn't the juice a bit on the low side?

lw hs is weird

I was probably paranoid of my wedge being removed by spinners.

first off you dont even need a wedge vs spinners really
second the blade doesn't help at all tbh
third the damage will help you kill anything including spinners faster so you dont have to worry about losing parts

The E wedge is able to absorb a few blows.


It will not win a single fight in StiltBot Stumble.


I can probably make a less ghetto version of this. I should also double check my names before I upload an image. :\

I should dump all my bots at once. Doing so would be better than opening up team folders and then face-palming because you found two more robots to upload. All three have DSA


This first bot is named Extremem Combo. There's a supervolt hiding in there.



I find this one unreliable due to bounciness.


This one weighs 399ish and isn't as bouncy.

I like the HS. Shame about the 2nd bot being bouncy, I think maybe the wedges need to be further apart, and at a shallower angle. The third one looks too fragile tbh.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

looks pretty good, you could shrink the chassis a little back where the anchors are and up where the snapper is but idk what you could do with the weight. maybe a weapon breaker like fury has?

Casters?

it looks solid enough but a few suggestions:

no invertibility will kill you

also a quick change is I might make the casters overlap the front and back corners of the chassis even if it means they don't touch like this

it might help you a bit more vs popups since it will protect the front and back of the chassis more. I think the gaps it makes between the casters will be offset by the height of the casters themselves

So after finishing my Heavy Derby (I will never stack nifties again) entry and uploading a filler robot to my showcase I actually got to build. Glory be. Her casters were fixed, BTW.


This seems to be the general area that the CB's hitbox enjoys sitting. Learning this now, I built a robot off another such stack.


The armor is DSA and there are two Iron spikes at the front stacked the way you cram spikes onto a LWHS.



This prototype version shows the position of the breakers, though only one is attached to this robot. The robot needed those grannies in order to drive and there was little room for attachment

Edit: Here is a robot I construct bit by bit when I boot up RA2 named "The Slime". I was inspired by footage of Sesim16 in Doomed Bots and stole the original's chassis. I have finished his internals for the moment. I may change the chassis away from the Sesim16 mold if necessary.




I built this HS right after Robotic Murder Party. I was so proud of my creation that I composed an ugly splash for the chap.

I had the day off, so I spent a chunk of it building a rammer. ACAMS built one like this once, but I forget what his was called and I don't feel like researching at 10.

IMO the weapon racks are too far from the chassis. Ditch the second extender holding the mace rack and maybe snapper load the rear extender for the drive. That would free up enough weight for 2 razors. If the weapons hit too unevenly for you, you could just swap between razors/maces/irons until everything works.

For once the mods did something right
