I've seen your stock bots, you wont.

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

No Inf, i didn't.

...Here is my second revision of Forkie, possibly to go into Inf's Summer Magic.

That started as the Pyscolone popup challenge perhaps one month ago, then waited and i decided to change the setup.

There are 3 razors on each snapper - and as i guessed, this one OWNS HS.

Hello everybody, just thought I would say I am most likely never going to post a bot in this showcase again, for I am no longer building in stock.

This applies to this showcase now.

Aw, I bet you're not done forever with stock. There have been times I thought I was done with stock, but eventually I get a new idea and start building again.

Is that new Forkie good? It doesn't look like the razors have much reach, and the wedge looks too steep (the small wedge, not the chassis wedge, I realize the chassis has to be sort of steep for the casters). I think the middle Snapper would be much better upside down. But if it works, I'm not going to complain.

And since when is Forkie a popup???

And BBEANS 5. And RAW 2

I know. I'm actually planning on entering a caster armored popup in BBEANS5 and i will try to fit a juggler in another tourny if i can.

And yes Click, it's not a very good bot.

If your anything like me.. I'll build a cool bot in DSL and then switch to stock to see if I can build it there too (something similar) sometimes the stock bot comes out more effective.

Naryar · « **Reply #310 on:** January 17, 2009, 10:09:10 AM »

Yaaay imma back.

Here's my latest creation, Eclipse. Designed to be a possible BBEANS5 entry.

I swear, i spent easily FIVE DAMN HOURS on this one... including more than 15 chassis rebuilds because everything didn't fit.

It's slower than i thought, plus i can't stack another double black here...

Plus all these casters doesn't protect that much ! It can't take on LD neither Leprosy... issues against RPB... (AIed of course)

Looks to me like your casters may be too far apart. Also, I would move that smartzone forward a bit. Theres also gotta be something you can do with the extra 100KGs...

If I'm wrong don't hate me, I'm no popup expert.

That caster armor wouldent help vs a SnS or a poker.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #313 on:** January 17, 2009, 11:35:29 AM »

Improper alignment of your casters will be your downfall. I know for an absolute fact that other bots do not easily slide up that castered front.

Naryar · « **Reply #314 on:** January 17, 2009, 11:49:08 AM »

So basically a good caster armored wedge must be extremely symmetrical ?

I'll rebuild the previous BBEANS5 prototype and swap ramplates with casters then. Should be better than a hole in the middle.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #315 on:** January 17, 2009, 12:05:17 PM »

Nary, from what I've found out, you need 5 symmetrical caster layers on the front for best results. I'll edit this post in a minute once i gather more specific information.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #316 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:51:22 PM »

I know how you feel. I spent I-don't-know-how-many hours working on a recent bot (Slaying Mantis V) and it turned out terrible at first. But eventually I got it to the point where I was satisfied.

Something you could do is copy the armor setup on Pyscolone's Spite. Ideal Tyrant might use it too, I don't remember. But you have casters just on the corners, where HS's are most likely to hit, and ram plates/plows in the middle, so bots don't snag on the casters.

Man, you could almost give that thing 6WD and an extra Supervolt. But not quite. Not with the bigger chassis you would need. But maybe... nah, you'd probably be better off with more armor.

DSA, 4 blacks, 8 razors.

Had several 1-hit-KO's on Little Darling (not AIed however) with this but driving straight is a pain.

System32 · « **Reply #318 on:** February 03, 2009, 02:17:31 AM »

Nice weapon. I'd not like to battle this...

Naryar · « **Reply #319 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:18:51 AM »

I rotated the left outer wheel, tweaked the AI a little (lowered turnspeed from 60 to 2) and it finally had several one-hit-KOs on LD AIed. Also, it keeps kicking RPB's ass and it RAPES Leprosy.

When I'm thinking of it, i could stack the 2batts on the front one, make the two central Z-teks to touch each other and get the wheels slightly inside the chassis, might protect them more.
