Someone else has seen the light of that side hammer setup.

Having a wedge is pretty essential though. It's almost impossible to outweapon an HS with a side hammer, and you can't hit their top or bottom either, which means you need to focus on killing wedges because that's the only thing you CAN kill (except rammers, but anything non-HS can beat a rammer).

Thanks for the advice, guys. Sticking a wedge on there shouldn't be too hard. Now, a new bot:

Kay, not completely new. I used the chassis that Zephyr made and finished it off. 2 blacks, caster armour, 4WD... the usual.

Widen the wedges and it will better take out HS... but keep them the same and have a better chance against wedges bots. HMMMM

Needs a blue-hued skin to go with the weapons and extenders. I reckon it would look pretty cool then.

Some trappers in the front to keep bots from climbing on top of it will also help greatly against spinners.

^Upside down snowplow?

I just wanted some advice on this setup. I used a 90 degree extender thing (I can't remember the name xD) so that the drive wasn't too low down but I know that I'm wasting weight. The weapons are also quite high up although I could flip the HP Z-teks. Any advice is appreciated.

Would raising the SnapperII work? You could flip the HPZ's over then, and the weapon's wouldn't be too high.

15 maces, DSA.

I got inspired by Sage (or marty?) and built this. Outwedges everything I've put it against, from RPB to NWB. Also managed to OHKO NWB.

Gazea, no offence at all, But I don't like the HW... it just doesn't look effective.

But the MW looks Very good.

NFX · « **Reply #849 on:** December 21, 2011, 08:35:20 AM »

MW looks pretty good now. I'd be slightly worried about the lack of defense, however.

HW is interesting, to say the least. Good job with getting the wedges so good, but I'm not entirely certain about the 6WD Redbird setup. I'd have gone for the usual 4 HPZ's myself. I'd also try to widen the ramplates slightly to extend over the corners of the chassis.

No offence taken.

Against Fury (SCV4) it did well and managed to beat it at least 50% of the time.
With the HW, I was aiming to create a bot that cannot be out-wedged. The redbirds give the lowest ground clearance with the mini wheels and aren't too bad. It's not exactly the fastest bot and it doesn't have the largest amount of weapons but it still manages fine without them.

so much klone :P

but on the hw, what is the snapper in the front of the chassis doing?
And can any of them even run inverted?

Gazea2 · « **Reply #852 on:** December 21, 2011, 08:45:52 AM »

The snapper holds some of the weapons. The HW can self-right and the MW moves about due to the weapons when inverted.

Sage · « **Reply #853 on:** December 21, 2011, 05:17:13 PM »

I see. You kinda mixed these two bots:

cool idea! Might be low on batteries though

Gazea2 · « **Reply #854 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:27:41 AM »

^That's the one.
After recent testing, it seems that the snapper at the front hinders the bot. It doesn't fire fast enough, despite the fact that it only has 3 razors. I've completely removed it and this is what is left:

I've moved the ramplates to protect the corners of the chassis... That's about it. Any idea on what I could use the extra weight for?
Oh, and remember that (red)BIRD'S THE WORD!

Edit: 3 blacks btw

ty4er · « **Reply #855 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:41:33 AM »

either add something in the middle/top or add more razors. Or both.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #856 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:52:10 AM »

maybe more ramplates

Badnik96 · « **Reply #857 on:** December 23, 2011, 11:23:00 AM »

WTF is with the drive? 6WD redbird/mini is sorta off-the-wall.

NFX · « **Reply #858 on:** December 23, 2011, 11:40:23 AM »

Does it still self-right?

I'd try and get at least one more ramplate on the front, personally. And perhapr something to stop the opponent fron going straight over the top, but only if that wouldn't interfere with self-righting.
