just use two anchors instead of an anchor+t-connector so you won't have to worry about losing your entire setup from a lucky hit.

Going back to the HW VS for a random second.....if you are going to use the tribar version, the tribars need to be undercutting. With no wedge, undercutting tribars will greatly aid you in getting under bots. Otherwise, the bot needs a wedge. Wedgeless bots at the HW level are at an automatic disadvantage unless you're stacked to the teeth with weapons (rammers, 36HS, etc.).

New version of The Entity:


Some experiments:

[Venko]

the Redbird spinner on the first one = bad idea
the RAD spinner on the last one = bad idea

[Pwnator]

the Redbird spinner on the first one = bad idea

The least you could do is explain why. Is it exposed? Is it too weak? I personally liked the earlier one better, but that's because I liked the bear claws acting as stabilizers as well.

[ianh05]

The redbird version has wider trapping arms so I had to downgrade from a Z-tek.

[Mr. AS]

if you were to find a round connector setup that doesnt use Y-extenders you might be able to get a ztek, im thinking you could use 3 extenders on each side.

[Naryar]

I do believe venko means that they have too much weapon weight on them.

I share this opinion as well.

[Venko]

I do believe venko means that they have too much weapon weight on them.

*Venko shakes Naryar's hand*  Good stock knowledge!
Also, I generally think, that the RAD's main purpose is for a WD on LWs and MWs only (tribar with 3 razors is the maximum weight for a weapon on them), and the redbirds are a WD for slow HWs (HSes, max a tribar with 3 irons for a weapon). So the weapons, and the HWs drive must be generally on reg. Z-teks and HPs. You all forget, that the speed in this game means moar dmg, also the weight difference of the motors is not that much, and they all drain the same power

DSA version:




Plastic version:

[Naryar]

I would remove pickaxes and change them to irons, remove the static pickaxes and change razors to something better.

[Venko]

The icepicks will sux on that tribar in doing a respectable hits and DMG. Also, ditch one of the HPs for a moar/better weapons and stuff, 'cos the opponent will stop easily the spinning of the motors chained in that way. The weapon system (no matter with 1 or 2 HPs) is too exposed and vulnerable.

[ianh05]

4 bear claws, 8 razors.

[KOS]

I like it, it looks very original for a lightweight. I think the bear spinners need to have longer reach to be effective.

Is it for Maximum Overkill?

What i was thinking.

Thanks, I wanted to build a LW with dual "disc" weapons and decided the best way was to make the "disc" out of extenders and save a bunch of weight (like I did for my AW's). The bear claws should be ok, they are on the extenders that come out the furtherest and all spinning weapons make it past the ramming/protection razors.

Is it for Maximum Overkill?

Indeed, I wasn't satisfied with just sending old bots so I made this one to go along with them :P
