Have you tried the concept without any air tanks? I think, like the Trinity glitch, pistons fired from a burst motor don't need pneumatic power.

I'm pretty sure they can only fire once though.

My only gripe is that the skin adds borders even when the faces are coplanar.

But seriously tho, smexy bots.

Using no airtanks would be pointless.....would completely make useless the method behind this bot.

My thoughts exactly. I don't know why RIV's chassis is like that...I rarely let that go. But I'm lazy now with the sheer quantity of bots I need to complete and the weight savings would not be too significant I'd imagine.

Is that a re-colored carbon fibre textures from my pack?

And You even using them correctly!

(with a white edges and a see-thru top, finally someone that realized how cool the carbon bots are)
Also, finally someone (besides me) that came with something new, I'm tired of how un-innovative the stock became.
So basically, good job Inf, respect, me like

You released a carbon fibres textures pack Venk? If so that would save my awesome skinning a lot of time.

Anyway, as soon as this hits page 8, I'll start the preview of IIAI 1.0 Teams

EDIT: PAGE 8!!! HERE WE GO (I will mark in my thread's Table of Contents at a later date that this page will be the index for all IIAI v1.0 teams)

KEY:
! = Rebuild being considered
! = Rebuild being planned
! = Rebuild underway
!!! = Bot not currently planned

TEAM #1 --- Twists of Fate

TOP (L to R): Spektrum II, Patrol, Emission II
BOTTOM (L to R): Vanquish II, Diamond IV, Radiance IV

Yup, that means the original first team of IIAI, Cuantem Fysix, is no more. (In fact, the teams for IIAI v1.0 are new for the most part. I believe I only retained 5-6 of my original themed teams.)

EDIT: Spektrum II added (3/11/13)

TEAM #2 --- Inside the Storm

TOP (L to R): Category 1, Spin Cycle L, Category 3
BOTTOM (L to R): Spin Cycle M, Category 5, SeVerE II

This bot is mainly all SnS themed, with the exception of SeVerE II, as staying true to the original pack release. All of these bots are the same from the primary release other than SeVerE II. Not sure if I will update SeVerE again or not.

TEAM #3 --- The Enforcers

TOP (L to R): Detector II, PeaK, (MW Heavy Piston Poker; not yet planned)
BOTTOM (L to R): Sonar II, Barrier, Artillery II

That's right, another original team from IIAI is cut. The Enforcers move up to replace the team formerly known as Malignant. Still have a bit of work to do on this team, including one entirely new project.

TEAM #4 --- MELTDOWN

TOP (L to R): Injection, Quark, Greenspawn
BOTTOM (L to R): Deuterium, Quell II, Absolute Chaos

The Classic HS/VS team. Two bots still need to be rebuilt, with possibly an upgrade for AC coming as well...

TEAM #5 --- Oblivion

TOP (L to R): Starduster, TriWarp, Emulsify II
BOTTOM (L to R): High Entropy III, Pandemonium!, Vertical Horizon II

TEAM #6 --- Kold Fuzeonz Kreations

TOP (L to R): Katalyst, eleKtro, Xenon
BOTTOM (L to R): Medium III, Vital Force II, Halogen

This team is quite changed from it's previous installment. eleKtro replaces sKorpion from Elemental, Katalyst replaces Spore from Elemental as well, and Xenon replaces Kryogen. Medium III is new and upgraded, with Vital Force II a new and improved design as well. Look for Halogen to be rebuilt/renamed into a HW version of Medium in the future.

Another HS/VS team. Only Vertical Horizon still needs to be completed, and the Mk.3 build is about 50% complete.

Nice to see Inf made a return =D

*SEE FIRST POST OF PAGE 8* *TEAM #1 ADDED*

Pwnator · « **Reply #110 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:34:55 AM »

I don't really see what's wrong with Emission. Lil' dude still nasty against wedges. And Vanquish as well, unless the new one has DSA.

Seriously though, if only half of the bots are retained, I can't wait for what else you could come up with, considering that most of the bots are still battle-worthy up to this day.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #111 on:** March 08, 2013, 08:53:14 AM »

Emission is the most likely out of those three to be retained. Patrol rebuild is already underway. Spektrum needs some originality, because I had many LW HSes use the same identical setup.

Vanquish II has DSA and a better chassis setup at the expense of one razor.

Team #2 should be up later. More complete than Twists of Fate.

Yes,... other stuff as well. Check out my signature for them.

Pwn is the only one to comment? BOO

If y'all are lucky, Team 2 will be posted tonight. Stay tuned.

Probably because you haven't posted any potential updates/rebuilds for the question marks. :P

ianh05 · « **Reply #115 on:** March 11, 2013, 07:59:59 AM »

I'm waiting to see the more interesting bots :)

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #116 on:** March 11, 2013, 12:45:35 PM »

Aye, updated the Twists of Fate team splash because of the upgrade to Spektrum:

Here's a close up shot.

Debate the upgrade all you want. May not drive perfect now but the weapons are now a lot less fragile and it seems to hit harder. I know the top extender makes the weapon system vulnerable to hammers and whatnot, but idrc. I'm going for my traditional flare here.

EDIT: Dont know why I posted without giving him a nice skin.....I will later after baseball.

Trovaner · « **Reply #117 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:43:30 PM »

Those extender guards look awesome.

If you have the weight, I would consider making the three extenders that connect to the tribar into 40cm extenders to increase the diameter of the bot. I would also do some testing to make sure that it improves performance.

Invertibility is also a concern for that design. There has to be a way of using the motors other AP to mount it without having an extender sticking out of the top.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #118 on:** March 11, 2013, 01:55:43 PM »

with the HPZ, try this sort of setup:

should make the top less of a weak point and improve invertability

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #119 on:** March 11, 2013, 02:21:25 PM »

I unfortunately don't have that extra weight Trov. I did have another bot in my pack similar to Spektrum with the 40cm extenders, and I haven't decided whether or not it will be included into the next update.

As for the way I mounted the motor: I was lazy and did not bother trying a different setup. Pretty stupid of me really... I will probably use something along the lines of what Mr.AS suggested to tweak it a bit.
