I guess the thing I'm wondering is whether the random rotation of the axle makes it any better than just making a rammer. Does it increase damage that much?

Someone would have to test it, I use them to hit the undersides of other bots.

my previous post gave me an idea...

Hmm, does that not end up working more like a wammer?
Only without the wedge really

ianh05 · « **Reply #364 on:** February 25, 2011, 04:57:40 AM »

nope when the robot drives into another and goes under the iron spikes will go up and forward to hit the undersides of other robots. Wammers have static weapons and wedges.

Oh, cool, very cool since the weapon works, well done.

Thanks, I get the feeling the axle could be the future of AW building. This AW popup could be changed to a single razor tip and given a small wedge too although I'd have to remove a pink also which would kill off plenty of it's speed.

2 pinks, 1 iron, plastic as usual. can even work while inverted.

no comments? :O if anyone is wondering how it works as a popup it's simple really... bot drives onto the wedge and puts pressure on it pushing it down and pushing the spike up as the robot goes up the chassis part of the wedge. this is also one of the most unique AW's I've seen, after one "popup attack" it turns into a rammer and the wedge turns into rear defense.

It can go from popup to rammer multiple times during a match, oh yeah the wedge can also provide defense to the bottom of the robot during the match too.

That actually works?

I've fiddled with axle popups in higher weight classes but I decided it wasn't very effective.

I must clone that bot and test it for myself.

*goes to download AW chassis*

i can defeat some of my other antweights with it, yet to try it AI'd though. It's certainly unique based on what I've seen and I'm here to inspire others to build AW's by showing people what can be built in the weight class.

Call me a nub, but what are those small , axle like things, are they motors?

No, they're axles.

Cool bot BTW, I love your ingenuity.

unskinned mini billy goat gruff, used the chassis suggested earlier in the thread and it gave me enough weight to build this so will try the mini lancelot again.

other bot is a quickly put together boxing bot, haven't fully set up the controls yet but should be capable of your basic uppercuts and hooks.

ianh05 · « **Reply #375 on:** February 28, 2011, 05:44:01 AM »

more! (bots at bottom of previous page if you missed them)

OMG it can actually flip things :O

I might have a Mini exhibition match video here soon so keep an eye out.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #376 on:** February 28, 2011, 07:05:05 AM »

How would it be capable of an uppercut without at least 3 burst motors, each one covering different dimensions?

Also, have you used an axle on that mini billy goat gruff, or just an axle?

@Flipper been done times before, but I still like it. It's like a Stock Oak Stake

1. there are 4 burst motors there's 2 inside the bot.
2. yep used an axle so the disc/weapons spin.
3. most AW flippers I've seen use only 1 pink or the blue burst motor.

also.. videos of mini's!

720 should be available soon on all 3 videos.

something new I'm working on. Has 2 pinks, 2 razors, 1 caster, RAD drive and plastic armor.

ianh05 · « **Reply #379 on:** February 28, 2011, 11:27:58 PM »

oh if only it wasn't so fail...havoks like mad. just 1 pink.
