Entry for Stock Scramble:







6 Rubber Wheels, 3 Blacks, 6 Samurai Swords, 1 Ballast. (lol)
If it can out-wedge a snowplow, It should do pretty well, I think.

i enjoy this bot.

[09090901]

by no means is it a bad bot, but that is probably the worst way you could've mounted the drive.

thanks. :)

Yeah, I had a feeling that wasn't the best way to do it. How do you think I should have done it?

Usually you want to avoid the possibility of the snapper moving around while driving. Try turning it sideways and using the bottom AP with 2 20cms.

That's a lot of drive. I kind of miss the pole spikes sticking out the sides, though.

oh yeah, I forgot about those. That would be a nice touch, if I had extra weight.

[Badger]

if I had extra weight.

Theres literally a ballast sitting there doing nothing. Unless stock scramble forces you to use a ballast, why not replace it with the pole spikes?

[090901]

because 4 pole spikes and 4 bas weigh a lot more

[Mecha]

Exactly.
Plus, I'd rather have the ballast there to help my wedge instead of the pole spikes, because they just would've been decoration anyway.
so.. wut 

[Pwnator]

How about ditching the ballast and switching to shinies? Would the wheels ruin the aesthetic?

Also, I'm not quite sure about the full setup, but you could probably shift the outer blacks to the middle if you rotate them 90 degrees. Would slightly help with weight distro, but I guess that would mean finding a way to attach the pole spikes through the snappers instead.

This, also fits the ronin theme more by having the wheels poke out of the top. Feels wrong to have wheel holes in the skin with no wheels to go through.


Also, if you're using a ballast for weight distro, why do you have 90kg of batts toward the back of the bot?

[090901]

ddts are mounted on the baseplate

[09090901]

weight distribution doesn't mean anything if he placed the wheels first

[Virus Bomb]

not true iirc

[Mecha]

My Battle Arcade Entry, it did ok i guess:








4wd, 3 blacks, 14 razors, 4 ddts. Skin is not finalized.

Bot for GTMC, I hope it does ok:






Plastic, 1 black, 12 razors.
I wish I had more time to fine tune the wedge and stuff, but it's probably good enough.

[kill343gs]

Dude, moonlight is hella rad

[Badger]

I like duality, RAD spinners are rad.
