Holy smokes man, that's ridiculously awesome.

KOS · « **Reply #63 on:** January 17, 2014, 12:04:03 PM »

So i decided to make a 4wd vs with 16 irons :D

And this is something less generic and still really good in combat. :D

Both look cool.

Pwnator · « **Reply #65 on:** January 17, 2014, 08:34:43 PM »

while the 2nd bot looks radical, you're still spending too much weight on an external setup

minimize the use of extenders so place the wedge ddts inside and the turn your drive snapper setup around to accommodate the weapon ddts

so in effect you could only have 8 razors for the setup, but at least it won't immediately git wrekt by a wedgier gutripper

lots of empty space in the first one. you can make a better chassis than that.

I was bored so i decided to remake Forkie from the rookies team - 20 Irons, and 4wd, 2 blacks

KOS · « **Reply #68 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:26:19 AM »

Feels good to be back :D

These bots i made during graphics and ict classes, so i had limited time XD

Artic Blizzard: 4WD, 18 razors on rads, good wedges, cool skin, invertable.

Warlord: Middleweight, 2 hpz drive, battle axe protection, 4 razors on ddt, REALLY wedgey, invertable, cool skin.

Rebound: 42 Bear Claws, 2hpz drive, invertable, epic clean setup. | bad skin, and underweight due to time limitations.

Warlord looks pretty sweet. Dunno about Arctic Blizzard, the chassis seems kinda exposed. Is the 4WD worth it?

Rebound is one of the most compact HS ive seen in stock.

Naryar · « **Reply #70 on:** February 14, 2014, 12:34:29 PM »

42 bear claws yes

Also Warlord is cool. I thought it was a HW at first

Sage · « **Reply #71 on:** February 14, 2014, 05:19:17 PM »

You could put a plow on the HS using on the of the snapper 2 back APs and a few extenders.

Clean setup but pretty simple, been done plenty of times with different chassis shapes.

A quick but cool side hammer/vs hybrid i made:

2 blacks, 10 irons, 8 maces, 2 razors

Recon123 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 19, 2014, 10:46:48 AM »

Very nice bots!! I like Arctic Blizzard especially, but the wheels for Warlord are a bit exposed if I do say so myself. Other then that, nice builds!! :)

Sage · « **Reply #74 on:** February 19, 2014, 02:11:46 PM »

That extender work in the back is so gross.

I would also flip the DDTs around so that that hammers are higher up. The VS will presumably be juggling other robots, so those low hammers aren't gonna do much of anything.

May I ask 1 question how many spikes, discs, maces, flippers and such and such do you need?

I know it's a weird reason but this is why I don't play ra2 competitively.

Well for heavyweights it all depends on the type of bot and the arena it will be on. For instance, horizontal spinners mainly win their matches by de-weaponing other hs's, so they win by out-weaponing. (moar weapons) On the other hand though, popups are all about the wedge, and there ability to get underneath other popups, but at the same time have enough armour to withstand hs's. Generally, a good hs has 36 maces, or 30 with a few plows, or caster armour, a good popup usually has 6-8 razors on each ddt (usually 2 ddt's)
Flippers generally aren't used competitively, as stock flippers aren't the best in power, the only good flippers are usually rupt's.

(awaits for someone to correct me)

Sooo...stock still exists!

It's a pretty beastly popup, can beat most middleweights. :D
