Chained VS:

wow jeebus this thread is updated more than twitter

the vs looks nice and original if a bit underweaponed (of course 2 hpz would do that to you)
im not vs expert but i would try to get those stabilizers wider possibly in a angled V shape, atm they seem a bit narrow and it could possibly flop over onto its side first hs it meets
that plastic ?

both of those bots have horrendous setups and could be so much cleaner.

the ideas are good though.

I find them far more interesting than your ant cause in LW you have the weight to be truly original.

What Scrap said though, there's quite a bit of unnecessary extender work.

What Scrap and I meant is that you can find better setups that use less extenders, and consequently save weight, for both of these bots.

I know, I just don't see how :/ the extenders on the VS are needed for stability and the HS hardly uses any :/ (the iron spikes are out the front for stability and extra damage + protection.

I haven't built LW's in ages so I'm a bit rusty.

Why you need to ask for that? It's clearly angled HS.

NFX · « **Reply #514 on:** August 28, 2012, 04:19:41 AM »

It's a really really odd kind of blender robot. Great concept, not too sure about how it'll fare in an actual fight, though. Looks a bit too fragile for my liking, with all those extenders and so forth. A quick rammer or gutripper should take it out pretty quick, and a decent HS'll probably take those plows off pretty quickly too, leaving you dead in the water. Bonus points for originality, though.

ianh05 · « **Reply #515 on:** August 28, 2012, 05:51:33 AM »

Yep it's just a prototype I thought looked cool, I've been trying to make an Flail spinner for a little while... getting closer to combat worthy ones though.

Fracture · « **Reply #516 on:** August 28, 2012, 07:15:14 AM »

Damn you have so many cool ideas, but you need to get out of the lighter weight classes and build MWs or HWs so your designs will actually perform well.

ianh05 · « **Reply #517 on:** August 28, 2012, 07:21:26 AM »

Perhaps, I don't really have the patience for the heavier classes though :) I've only really built 3-4 decent HW's and probably only 1 decent MW. The LW isn't that bad though, it can beat SC v.4 alpha rammers such as drone.

The main flaw is that can't self-right because of the axles.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #518 on:** August 28, 2012, 02:02:09 PM »

it may be original, but how does well does that work in battle ?

ianh05 · « **Reply #519 on:** August 30, 2012, 11:16:06 PM »

Thoughts? are the extenders to fragile to use like this? is the worth using fragile extenders for the extra 7kgs? will this setup be less, equal or more damaging?
