But then the turnspeed is likely to go up again...

I don't like how you have the extenders on. If an hs hits that one extender, you're whole weapons gone.

That never happened, unlike losing all my razors and firing extenders...

I wanted to try the fast disc VS design and use bear claws to see if both pwn,

Well, they do.

Here is Savage - 2 blacks and DSA. There are 2 SnapperII's with the wedges attached on the angular silver AP. Fast, very destructive, but it has one flaw - the wedge bounces and it's unstable.

I bet that's because the wedge is attached directly to the spinners, but I'm wondering something: will the wedge bounce (or not, that i hope) if i attach the spinners not directly on the wedge, but on the other (hidden) AP ?

Plus, i could also put the spinners higher and use irons.

Comments & Criticism welcome :D

Hidden AP?

Naryar · « **Reply #325 on:** February 04, 2009, 01:37:10 PM »

The invisible attachment point, not the angled silver one.

The one which works like a servo, you know.

Great bot. You know, for some reason there just aren't a lot of caster-armored VS's.

I want to say the wedges would still bounce if you attached the weapons to the other side of the Snapper, but I can't think of any time I actually tried it. Maybe it would work. Though I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Edit: That popup is like a rightside-up Heroic Sacrifice. I imagine that's slightly harder to do than the start-upside-down method. Good bot.

I know that Sadrabbit, the side of it with the disc bounces real bad.

Bloody Clockwork - my own build of The Bloody Pendulum for SCv4. 18 maces, DSA, 2 blacks.

Has some stability issues but not too bad for a quickly built prototype.

Ripped Vortex CE to shreds with it... i think i lost one of the HS.

System32 · « **Reply #329 on:** February 07, 2009, 04:17:18 PM »

That's a good replacement.

Naryar · « **Reply #330 on:** February 09, 2009, 03:32:37 AM »

I just need to fix the stability problem...

Anyways, here is another HW. 2 blacks, 8 axes, 28 razors (yeehaw), DSA. Pretty decent bot.

I wanted to make a drive-powered clamp like Big Metal Friend, but the bot's better as a pusher/rammer.

That was my second fight against Little Darling (first fight was like that too) - now i beat it by KO most of the time.

I lost ALL my razors, my wedge, several axes and three wheels on that fight, LD had no more weaponry and got counted out because of battery issues.

Has havok issues against HS (and not always when i rip off a Z-tek, maybe it's the wedge).

Thats a very nice and compact bot, does it fare well against other types of bots too?

And why does the name sound oddly familiar?

System32 · « **Reply #332 on:** February 09, 2009, 07:56:05 AM »

It's a common latin phrase. "remember... You will die."

Naryar · « **Reply #333 on:** February 09, 2009, 07:57:08 AM »

Well it could be very slightly more compact and i'll win maybe 1-2 kg.

I mainly tried it against Little Darling (wins most of the time), but it RAPES Vortex CE (not very difficult), keeps destroying Billy Goat Gruffiest (SCv4 version), but he can't go under 3-2-1-Blastoff (SCv4 again).

Yep, I have Starcore v4 Alpha. The bots are good, but not the unstoppable juggernauts i expected.

EDIT:@S32: Exactly.

people are stealing my long single wedge idea....

it even has the same chassis as Vise! AHHHHHH

Naryar · « **Reply #335 on:** February 09, 2009, 08:24:28 AM »

Would you stop complaining ?

If people are stealing your long wedge idea it's because they think it's good.

i know. perhaps i should get it copyrighted...

You almost make it sound like you were the only person to ever use a long wedge... Its simple physics, if something can't reach a wedge because its hitting the weapons before the wedge then its useless.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #338 on:** February 09, 2009, 03:57:36 PM »

Bots have used long wedges before too. Express Delivery and 1337 Breakdown?

I don't want to drag this out, but i need to get my final remarks here. Scrap, those bots have single wedges, but they aren't particularly long (especially breakdown). Kill, I believe i said "single long wedge" not just a long wedge.

It's like someone makes a WMD that makes them all powerful, and then another guy copies it, the first guy is gonna be pissed. 'tis all im saying.

the point behind the long single wedge was to beat all the other 2 wedge bots. if more and more bots are gonna use a single long wedge too, it becomes useless.

Sorry to trash up your thread naryar. I'll stop there.
