kinda cheap, Not original but effective:

battleshot was me driving vs starcore v.4 logic probe.

Thats a good bot, coukd you not utilize the 2kg?
By maybe removing the caster, centering it and iron spike?

it's good but i don't like it because it's not original enough :P and i gave it 2 casters so it could have some side protection because AW SnSers are popular :)

Is that a servo on Nosoheavylifting? If so... I am curious to see the first battle and catch it in action.

I <3 Antweight tournaments. Too bad you were not kicking around when Jonzu did CombatAnts 1 and 2. Would have been right up your alley man!

very nice AWs indeed!

Why'd you use a servo? on Notsoheavylifting?

ianh05 · « **Reply #148 on:** July 27, 2010, 08:22:37 PM »

yep that's a servo :P just part of an experiment I'm conducting, due to lack of battery available for AW's i figure that a servo might be better for longer fights then a RAD would.

i was in CombatAnts 1 i think, pretty sure i lost 1st round though :)

That's actually some good thinking. The RADs are so underpowered anyway, the servo probably spins just as fast.

I also really like Uno.

let's hope it works out :P I just finished recording round 1 matches, 2 yawn matches and 2 good matches also 1 massive disappointment which i have a screenshot of (forgot to start recording one of the matches).

after i finish this I will try and host another AW tourney between the semi finalists from both tournaments, should provide some good AW match ups.

Unfortunately, although servos don't REQUIRE batteries, they still drain battery if you have them.

But I haven't tested to see how servo battery drain does work... it might not be a flat 100 like it is for spin motors. How does the servo VS perform? Better than an angle motor?

ianh05 · « **Reply #152 on:** July 28, 2010, 01:24:52 AM »

yeah the thought i had was once the battery was drained it would still be able to lift other bots and get under them like VSers should. Still yet to see how it all works out though, I could send someone both my AW VSers if they want to test them out.

Round 1 is up. sorry about the quality of the first match (not that great anyway) but i had to import the first video from one i planned to upload but it was too long for youtube >.< so it was edited from an edited video hence making it smaller then normal
