What doesn't kill you makes you a better builder.

sheesh. me thinks i wanna try again with a different chassis and maybe make it a rammer like the one on the Beetle Brother's site.

whatever. its your showcase. put whatever you want in it.

Hydro · « **Reply #83 on:** May 10, 2009, 08:11:39 PM »

here it is, Maming & Slaughter v. 20-ish...

what should i do to improve this device?

Sage · « **Reply #84 on:** May 10, 2009, 08:13:12 PM »

Alright. Longer wedges, more weapons, slimmer chassis.

Hydro · « **Reply #85 on:** May 10, 2009, 08:14:52 PM »

so... like, say, add 20 cm to the wedges, 40+ cm of spikes, and slim the chassis... ok!

Also, try this. Before building the whole bot, just put 2 Supervolts side-to-side (like you did in the pic) and check if there is some empty space. Then just go back and tweak it again until you are satisfied. :D

ok. well, here it is:

that any better?

Pwnator · « **Reply #88 on:** May 10, 2009, 08:40:38 PM »

A bit better, but you still have enough weight to put another wedge. Also, instead of putting the baseplate far back, put it in front to remove the extender and use it to attach more spikes.

Hydro · « **Reply #89 on:** May 10, 2009, 08:41:21 PM »

ok. i'll be back...

for this i decided Nifty + Nifty + 2KGS = Supervolt, so i did what i could to fit it all.

It looks a lot worse than it did before....

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #91 on:** May 10, 2009, 09:44:23 PM »

the MW looked good. the HW, no. Did you get any more Airtanks on the MW?

Hydro · « **Reply #92 on:** May 10, 2009, 09:44:28 PM »

God i suck at this >.< ...

actually, that's what became of the MW

Sage · « **Reply #93 on:** May 10, 2009, 10:08:23 PM »

It got worse.

Hydro · « **Reply #94 on:** May 10, 2009, 10:09:56 PM »

i need to try to build a spinner...

Pwnator · « **Reply #95 on:** May 10, 2009, 10:10:22 PM »

Check out how Lethal Force (SCv4) was made, and try to replicate it.

Mame and Slaughter only needs 1 black. Rammers don't consume alot of batteries.

Hydro · « **Reply #97 on:** May 10, 2009, 10:14:16 PM »

i wish i would have known this earlier...

@ Pwn: something like Spiker 3?

this bot is REALLY old. has a 98% success rate tested on random arenas against random bots.

Pwnator · « **Reply #98 on:** May 10, 2009, 10:25:24 PM »

OVERKILL ON THE PISTONS AND TANKS.

Hmmm...seems like the new Lethal Force isn't in the wiki yet.

It looks like this:

OMG.

but yeah, it's kinda overkill. and i made it before i knew about dsa >.<
