Presenting a dilemma. Two versions of the same robot, both are 398.8kg, with DSA, 1 Black, a SnapperII and RAD Drive.

On the left, there are 12 razors, 2 plows and 4 casters on the underside. Plows/arms get taken off a bit too quickly for my liking.
On the right, there are 8 irons and 4 plows in total. Sometimes gets outweaponed a bit too quickly.

I've tested both of them, and the Iron VS seems to do better with lifting opponents up, and against HS, but the Razor VS does better against popups. The question is, which to enter into RoboLeague? =

The razor one because my bots will do better against it [/reverse psychology]

The first one, although it might be better if the weapons were further forwards.
Nice bots though :P

Honestly, scrap a disc/ system and load up more weapons and better drive..

I may be going crazy but I'm finding it harder to understand both 123 and JB at them moment.

First bot built using Hax Mode. Didn't post it in the other showcase yet, because...well, it's not really pushing the boundaries of anything, is it?

248.5, HPZ drive, 1 Black, DSA. Fully invertible. Also got this cool exostack while trying to make it work.

Took the chassis of Snap!Happy 6.3, and built a 36HS out of it.

DSA, 1 Black, 2 plows and a ramplate, all built from 1 SnapperII. 5 casters on the bottom. Standard Z-Tek drive, so it's not slow enough that it's a problem, plus the lower power consumption allows me to use only one battery, and spend more weight on defense. Also invertible. 3 HPZ weapon motors, of course.

Looks really good!

You do know that normal zteks pull just as much power as hpzteks, right?

I thought HP Z-teks pulled 400 while Z-teks pulled 200.

Not according to the Beetlebros. page, they don't...

Z-Tek Motor - Input: -200
HP Z-Tek Motor - Input: -400

They're right Sage.

Looks pretty good for a 36HS, has a lick of your style. gj!

No, you're all wrong.

The most important thing that I found is this: Spin motor MEMIOR has no effect whatsoever on battery drain. That's right, folks. Doesn't matter if it's a reverse angle motor, an HP Z-tek, a Dual Perm, or even a custom "gasoline" motor with -0.0001 MEMIOR. They all drain the same amount of electricity.

I thought that was just in DSL.

No - DSL doesn't change the game mechanics.

NFX · « **Reply #435 on:** August 06, 2011, 11:30:47 AM »

More prototyping.

398.9, DSA. RAD Drive and a SnapperII for the weapons, but only has a Nifty Battery. Sort of half-invertible.

Urjak · « **Reply #436 on:** August 06, 2011, 11:44:52 AM »

Why not just use shinies?

ashman12 · « **Reply #437 on:** August 06, 2011, 11:46:58 AM »

Aren't shinies not heavier?

Anyway, i like it, although that could be because it could kick the back-end of my bots.

Then it wouldn't be invertible at all. Not sure what I could use the extra 10kg on, either.

Sage · « **Reply #439 on:** August 06, 2011, 01:04:13 PM »

Show me the insides, maybe we an make it invertible.
