not bad, could be absolute chaos v2 yet i'm not sure how well it fares against popups, especially caster armored ones

Here it is DM 20 VS 3 Different Popups

Whilst Absolute Chaos is a very good bot, I'm fairly sure it is outdated. I would try your bot against something more recent. Also, did you AI it? Doesn't look like you did, but correct me if I'm wrong. Testing with it AI'd is always better than you driving it.
This is more of a personal thing, but maybe now that you've proven you have the basics (or not basics) of good building down, maybe try something less generic. An interesting hybrid, perhaps? (again, this is a personal thing. I just find mega-HS's boring)

1) Yea i know but where would i find a good robot to test it out on? 2) Yes its ai'd, it uses Omniram.py 3) Yea i'm going to try, but in my opinion personally i like to make the best robots, but it will be fun to make a hybrid

Starcore V4 or INF AI, your choice

My first hybrid ever, dont blame me if it is bad, because i've never made one before :D , - It is a rammer/vs Hybrid: 22 irons for the rammer part, 8 for the spinner, 2 razors and ice picks, 4wd and DSA.

R1885 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 14, 2013, 01:05:25 PM »

I'd recommend getting rid of the spinners in favor of wedges. They're not getting anything to do.

Or he could get a wedge and find a way to move the spinners forward.

KOS, how stable is it? I remember having a few VS set up like that and they were not stable at all.

KOS · « **Reply #28 on:** December 14, 2013, 01:49:32 PM »

It is actually very stable, which surprised. me

Badnik96 · « **Reply #29 on:** December 14, 2013, 04:27:28 PM »

I'd replace the inner motors with wedges of some sort and move the spinners up a little. TBH you don't need 4WD. Or am I an idiot? I dont play stock much...

KOS · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2013, 05:25:08 PM »

This rammer is an absolute beast :D - 10 HPZ drive, DSA, 2 Blacks, 20 irons and 4 ice picks.

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 18, 2013, 06:08:39 AM »

i think that 10WD is just overkill drop down to 6 or 8WD if you really want ninja speed

KOS · « **Reply #32 on:** December 18, 2013, 10:08:51 AM »

yea i might drop it down and try to get some protection on the wheels.

KOS · « **Reply #33 on:** December 20, 2013, 01:53:01 PM »

Right Before you guys post that popups are cheap pieces of overpowered sh** i just want to say that i agree and this is in fact a message.

Target Aquired - 2 blacks, 22 razors, 5 ramplate armour, 4wd and pretty good wedges

Ultimate Popup - 2 blacks, 10 razors, 2 ramplates, 4wd and the best wedges evar! literally perfect.

Racing Stripes 3 - 2 Blacks, 18 razors, sliding wedges and 4wd - wedges are pretty good

Tempest - My first and only upside down robot with invincible caster armour, 14 razors, 2 blacks, and 4wd. Wedges are meh.

MassimoV · « **Reply #34 on:** December 20, 2013, 04:33:15 PM »

I like the caster armor one.

Pwnator · « **Reply #35 on:** December 20, 2013, 09:55:49 PM »

mmm yes very generic and very well built

for the castered one though, rotate the drive so the 'hexagon' is flush against the ground

that might improve the wedges

KOS · « **Reply #36 on:** December 30, 2013, 09:19:29 AM »

Sooo i tried to make some middleweights and make some setups for them: This is how it went:

Deathmill MW3 - 15 Razors, 2 hpz weapon motors and 2 normal ztek's for drive, can beat mostly all middleweights that i have tested it against in INF AI and B.B.E.A.N.S.

Deathmill MW3.5 - This bot is painful to look at if you have OCD (uneven weaponry) - 10 irons and 2 razors with 2 hpz weapon motors, and 2 ztek's for drive. This one was a big improvement as it can get underneath and between hs type spinners and hit the chassis.

Deathmill MW3.5 B - This is what i ended up with, 12 BEAR claws (which are surprisingly good) and a snowplow for protection against rammers and popups. Any feedback would be appreciated :D

RA2, ACAMS STYLE

They're all very generic though. It's fine if you start by cloning designs for learning, but then start to build your own.

Pwnator · « **Reply #38 on:** December 30, 2013, 12:43:15 PM »

for MW3.5A, try evening the weapons out (so each motor gets 1 razor) and flip one of those motors so it can take on bots such as MW3

but yeah, generic but very clean setups, so keep up the good work :3

Naryar · « **Reply #39 on:** December 30, 2013, 01:25:08 PM »

damn pwnie why don't you build more
