reminds me of something i built back in the day when i was building loads of lightweights:

3rd bot in the top row, can't remember if it was plastic or DSA though (probably plastic). Not to sure which would be the more effective design, weapons apart or together.

I like the idea of knocking the opponents bots into the FS but it exposes the motors more

Not really, because the HS motor is well protected by the snowplow, like with Child's Play IV, and the FS motor is protected by the razors and the disc. If the razors or the disc are lost, then the motor becomes dead weight, and a drain on the battery.

The motors are exposed more to lucky side attacks I meant where as my motors were directly behind the middle of the plow, front on it's fine :) shame I don't have my old bots anymore or I could have sent you maniac 2 to test out.

Any lucky side attack to a LW would most likely be a death sentence anyway, unless it's a SnS or a beefy HS.

Whoa that is awesome. I would never think to do that.

My first thought was, "LW Swiss Army Bot".

Is it as good as CPIV against HS, or do you need the dual tribars to kill HS?

I never really got around to testing it out properly. I just wanted to see if it was possible, really. In the meantime:

Ugh, this should be a challenge or something..."Build a practical LW HS with DSA, two RADs with 3 maces each, and a snowplow".

Challenge accepted.

248.9, Nifty, DSA. All built from a SnapperII. Uses broadly the same setup as Fracture's, just with a totally airtight chassis, and the SnapperII and plow rotated such that the plow is positioned more or less in the middle of the setup, rather than skewed to one side. So it is doable. =)

insides?
and rotate the plow 180 degrees so that it won't become VS chock.

It's simple, really. 2 HPZ, 6 razor, RAD drive, nifty power and a snapper II.

Okay. =D

247.9, DSA, everything else is listed above. Yay chassis recycling. Bonus BURST ENHANCED RAZOR TIP to help defend the HPZ's slightly. Totally invertible, and although one wheel is slightly higher than the other, it drives perfectly well, which I am very pleased with.

Turnspeed's a bit slow, but that's to be expected with the narrow stance.

When turning one way, spin both motors that direction. should speed up your turning. Also, make both motors normal zteks and change the bottom one to irons.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #629 on:** June 27, 2012, 04:11:55 AM »

That looks sick! Amazing work.

NFX · « **Reply #630 on:** June 27, 2012, 11:20:19 AM »

I had enough weight for all irons, Sage.

248.9, same as last time, just missing the razor on the front, and with Z-Teks and Irons instead of HPZ's and razors. Sort of a LW Paramecium. Tried the motors to help turning thing, and it appears to have worked.

Sage · « **Reply #631 on:** June 27, 2012, 11:33:05 AM »

Oh, I didn't think you wanted to take off the middle razor. Well cool! How's it fare?

Also, glad the turning trick helped.

Looks awesome, possibly better than civil disobedience?

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #633 on:** June 27, 2012, 07:08:00 PM »

I'm guessing you used a two 20cm extender setup?

Yep. Thank god the unbalanced RADs don't affect driving at all.

Just tested it, though, and it turns out the Z-Teks get taken off a bit too often for my liking. And then it havoks. So I'll maybe drop to razors and get a plow on or something.

NFX · « **Reply #635 on:** June 28, 2012, 06:07:40 PM »

Why am I in such a building mood now?

248.9, Nifty, DSA. I planned it out on paper earlier, no idea if it works or not. Looked better on the paper, though, that iron looks a bit pointless. Probably invertible, I just wanted a HS/Rammer hybrid that didn't swipe the opponent out of the way of the ramming rack.

Pwnator · « **Reply #636 on:** June 29, 2012, 06:42:53 AM »

ooh it's like a better version of yaybot

Gazea2 · « **Reply #637 on:** June 29, 2012, 04:49:57 PM »

Looks awesome, although I'm not sure if that iron is doing much. Is there any way you could turn it around so that it faces forward?

Hercules · « **Reply #638 on:** June 29, 2012, 08:54:02 PM »

You could use an icepick instead?

NFX · « **Reply #639 on:** July 12, 2012, 04:06:02 AM »

Built something to wake me up this morning.

395.9, 2 Nifties, DSA. Setup's solid, but it havoks a bunch for some reason. And it won't drive straight. Not too happy about that, will be rebuilding it at some stage.
