Heres a tip: One supervolt can power four HPZ motors. So you only really need one in Cyclone. And as Scrap said, a wedge would really benefit that bot.

Hello, btw =)

Hmm...

You need some weapons on Altitude, so practice stacking batts!

NFX · « **Reply #22 on:** August 11, 2009, 05:58:12 PM »

I probably should put some weapons on Altitude. I had a spike strip on the back, but I removed them because someone told me to. XD

Here's an improvement (hopefully) of Cyclone, after reading a few more of Beetlebros. hints and such. The snowplows are there mostly for stablilty when turning, and the front wedge is mounted on a servo, originally because a Snapper2 Burst Motor wouldn't fit between the Baseplate Anchors, but I've since discovered that it can, somehow, lift bots into the main weapon!

CHAINED MOTORS FTW!

Oh, use Grannies.

And R1885 posting "Chained drives suck even though I made a Thwacker that beats Pys AI and uses a chained drive" speech in 3, 2, 1...

Chained drives do fail, just looooook. Chained weapons work though.

Yeah dude chain drives are bad. Interesting bot though. I'd like to see you give it armor and a longer wedge to see how it fares against stronger bots.

Motors seem a little exposed. Are they normally knocked off?

Looks kinda like this:

NFX · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2009, 12:57:10 PM »

Yeah, I did draw some inspiration from that particular bot. But the motors are pretty much fine, they don't get knocked off that easily...

Somebody · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2009, 12:59:15 PM »

OK.
The only wheels worth using are the Slipperbottoms, The Shiny Hubs, and the very small Rubber wheels (second smallest in game).

Would you care to repeat that?

Chained drive is bad.

You beat a fairly unstable VS and immobilized Carbon Bullet. Yay you?

System32 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2009, 01:57:02 PM »

I also smashed up all the popups, Drumblebee larva and that poker with the funny snowplough placement. (Bedlam.) It basically rapes all bots without side protection.

But you guys DO have a basis for being correct. You see, the only reason I like chaines drives is because they help with trinity thwackers like this.

The spin-up time on Gamma is pretty much non-existant with the chained motors, which is why it pwns bots so easily. I've had 2 occasions where an iron of mine breaks off INTO a snowplough.

It practically engulfs half the combat arena, and all for a bot that fits inside the max sphere.

And best of all, it is controllable.

So yes, Chained drives are good, but they are only good, like everything else, if used correctly.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2009, 02:47:26 PM »

No, I could build a better Trinity thwacker without chained drive, easily.

System32 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2009, 03:01:29 PM »

One that kills 4 bursted HPZ drive rammers in seconds with nothing but mere scratches?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #35 on:** August 12, 2009, 03:07:27 PM »

...yeah

System32 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 12, 2009, 03:12:46 PM »

Ok then, do it.

I can't wait to see what you make!

Somebody · « **Reply #37 on:** August 12, 2009, 04:26:03 PM »

I kinda want to see this too.

NFX · « **Reply #38 on:** April 04, 2010, 03:16:28 PM »

Sh*t, I totally forgot about this. XD I guess nobody really remembers who I am. But I seriously improved Altitude this time around. I had so much fun killing on the Starcore AI packs 1.0 and 2.0 I totally forgot to upload it. So here it is, belatedly

Reier · « **Reply #39 on:** April 04, 2010, 03:21:45 PM »

Wooo NFX is back.
