There is only one samurai blade, and I only have the weight for one. Should I still crank it up in the air?

I think you should lose the ramplate, personally. That'd give you the weight for a second "ear", definitely. And you could place them starting under the top of the two front ramplates.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the ear yet. So far it hasn't been that effective really. In my current build I wrecked it out and extended the wedges with 20 CM. OH GOD THESE WEDGES ARE SOOO LOVELY, I'm not touching these anymore. They slide smoothly under everything.

Now, without the "ear", with the ramplate still ontop (on the baseplate anchor) and 12 razor tips I am at 780.5 kg. This doesn't include razers to protect the extenders of the wedges, but I doubt they are necessary in this case (see pic):

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken I once read here on these forums that Sage said (yes, it was a quote) that there should only be n razor tips on one DDT maximum for best efficiency. Is this correct, and if yes, what is that number?

I think it was 4, but you can easily get away with 5 or 6. 7+ is starting to push it, though.

Behold! iNCineration 4!

Featuring:
EXTREMELY little amount of AGOD on the 2 snapper II's that help the wedges (the AGOD is perfectly symmetrical left/right)
Weapons: 10 razors on two DDT's
Wedges: Bye bye Neglected Waterbug and Epic!
Defense: 5 ramplates and hollow chassis
Drivetrain: 4WD and drives straight forward, backwards is horrible
Power: 3 Big Volt's
Special feature: Swords preventing bots going over mine (sort of)

Ummmmm, wow.

NFX · « **Reply #49 on:** June 17, 2011, 07:57:00 PM »

I really like the look of that. Very nice work. =]

nightcracker · « **Reply #50 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:03:43 PM »

These ears are awesome. They hold up everything!

EDIT: Plus they look cool :)

@NFX: Do you consider this bot different enough from Halestorm to declare it a "different bot"?

NFX · « **Reply #51 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:10:49 PM »

I do consider it different enough from Halestorm 7. =] The front end looks a little bit like Parabolic Trajectory 2, but I think it's a pretty good robot. Also, annoyingly, your wedges appear to be better than mine. XD

nightcracker · « **Reply #52 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:15:57 PM »

Lambs to the slaughter:

The wedges are so good that the bot "Epic" (which I think has the best wedges of starcore v3) gets lifted in full-speed even when I move my bot only a little.

EDIT:

Revenge!

NFX · « **Reply #53 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:36:41 PM »

Quite nice. =] Does that work in the BBEANS Arena? (It has a perfectly flat floor, so there won't be any minute bouncing.)

nightcracker · « **Reply #54 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:44:58 PM »

Where can I download this arena and how should I install it for use?

EDIT: I've tried the samurai blades a while now and I must say they should be investigated more for defense. They haven't come off once yet.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #55 on:** June 17, 2011, 09:07:25 PM »

very nice

IIRC Neglected Waterbug has the correct wedges.

You can find it in the BBEANS AI pack. You can find a link on Clickbeetles website.
