Work in progress:

Not too bad. Would it work better at trapping if the plows were the other way up?

That Robot is a Spy! · « **Reply #142 on:** August 07, 2011, 09:40:52 AM »

Plows are a wee bit too high.

nightcracker · « **Reply #143 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:00:47 AM »

Little update:

The plows can be rotated in any direction.

Somebody · « **Reply #144 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:02:21 AM »

I would recommend moving the motors back a bit to give more room for a bot to be sitting on the wedges and still trapped. The more that it is on the wedges, the less of a chance of escape.

Is that a RPB update ?

nightcracker · « **Reply #146 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:06:01 AM »

Yeah... That's going to be hard.

I'm going to (try) a chassis revamp later, because I need 1,8 kilo's for longer wedges.

@Naryar: Kind of, the endresult will probably look a lot different though.

Mecha · « **Reply #147 on:** August 07, 2011, 10:14:59 AM »

awesome!

it would be cool to see it go against Rabid pit bull.

@NC: Whats the weight of this RPB-lookalike of yours?

nightcracker · « **Reply #149 on:** August 07, 2011, 01:09:18 PM »

Well, I just started with a new chassis again, and the chassis is at 73.2 kilo's opposed to RPB's 77+'s. My setup is also slightly better.

I think if you try and spread the frontal HPs out a little more, you would end up with a wider weapon, and would potentially be better then RPB

I like the new bot NC. The only suggestion I'd give is maybe to downgrade the HP weapon motors to regular Zteks. 20Kg Extra to use and not really any difference in performance, since its a FS. And to extend&protect those wedges.

Here is my attempt at skinning iNCineration4. I hope you like! Squeesch (if that is what you insist to name your bot :P) will be done soon.

nightcracker · « **Reply #152 on:** August 07, 2011, 04:32:12 PM »

Thanks inf! I might actually try normal ZTeks. This is the new setup I'm trying out (despite having more empty space it's lighter):

That's 8 HP-Zteks, 2 Snapper2's, 4 shinies, 4 anchors, 4 disks, 2 Y-extenders, 2 extenders and 2 blacks totalling 561,2kg. That means I have 800 - 561,2 - 16*7 = 126,8 kgs left for the plows and the wedges.

nightcracker · « **Reply #153 on:** August 07, 2011, 05:03:57 PM »

Oh haha, with some chassis editing I brought down the above setup from 561,2kg to 561,0kg.

NFX · « **Reply #154 on:** August 07, 2011, 05:18:36 PM »

I wonder if you could bring the chassis further back towards the Supervolts, and attach another 20cm to the end of the other ones, and attach the outside HPS'z to the side AP of those. That'd probably bring them forward and more level with the others.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #155 on:** August 07, 2011, 05:58:04 PM »

You could put the drive in a row and the blacks behind them and have the chassis airtight.

Why do I get the feeling NC has the potential to make one of the hardest AI packs to ever exist?

Blimey...something of that calibre from a LW. I feel rubbish in comparison, now

Stagfish · « **Reply #158 on:** August 07, 2011, 09:19:07 PM »

I've always been rubbish, doesnt feel so bad anymore.

I have caught a wild Stagfish.

I'd agree with SD on the bot, though.
