Awesome, reminds me of one of Geice's bots.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #641 on:** July 12, 2012, 09:58:40 AM »

did you reattach the wheels?
is the weight distro correct?

did you try increasing the chassis 3 kg and see if that helps havok?

NFX · « **Reply #642 on:** July 12, 2012, 11:19:40 AM »

The reason it won't drive straight is because the motors are somehow above the chassis. I could just rebuild the whole thing a notch downwards, and that would help the driving and such. Could also expand the chassis as much as possible to perhaps solve the havok.

In the meantime, two new bots. First, a rebuild of Paradox a few pages back.

2 Blacks, DSA. I forget the exact weight. All built from a SnapperII, opponents occasionally get stuck on the casters, but it works very well apart from that. DDT wedge, Snapper2's for the weapons, which are actually 6 razors that look like four due to the eFFeing.

And a FS/Popup hybrid.

799.9, DSA, 2 Blacks. only 2 razors on each Snapper2, but the reach is a bit too low, so they don't come into play too often. Wedges seem decent, FS weapons do their job very well. Not sure about self-righting. I might be able to save 4kg somewhere to get a longer reach on the popup weapons.

Both are really, really solid builds. On the MW popup, you should probably use two extenders per weapon arm rather than the three you are currently using, then put that weight towards lengthening your wedge. The idea with having a single wedge is not to completely out-wedge an opponent, but to place the wedge in a place where your opponent can't defend. So as a rule of thumb, it's better to have a long single wedge. As it's currently built, all wedges with a reach advantage (even on blue snappers) will get under you.

So yesterday I saw this:

Well since nfx made a hs/fs hybrid, i thought i'd find a way to remake Zealot with hpzes.
Zealot 2
(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
396.6 with plastic, 402.9 with dsa 1 black
Any ideas how to lose weight? 2 nifties and a smaller chassis is 2 kgs heavier than what I have now(17.5kgs)

And I decided to return the favour.

398.7, 1 Black, DSA. Havoks a little if it turns too quickly, which could probably be sorted with a reasonable AI line. Not tested invertibility yet, but it'll obviously be compromised with the FS on the front. I can't remember if Snapper-bursted Z-Teks are as fast as HPZ's either, but they're fast enough, I reckon. I'm more pleased with it than the previous version.

That hybrid is just really cool. Also looks pretty efficient.

It's just a SnapperII at the front, and a Black + CB stacked at the back. Nothing too special. Snapper axle is pointing backwards, and it's all built off the secret AP. 3 20cms and 3 T connectors. I could perhaps find a more efficient way of attaching them to get HPZ drive, but I'm not too sure.

Also, tweaked FS/Popup Hybrid. Really more of a Juggler/Popup hybrid now, though.

Same internals as last time. Lost the ramplates on the front, and laid out the FS differently. This allowed me to get twice as many razors on, and let the popup weapons get involved much more often. Razors tend to go before the 20cms do, which is pretty much what I was going for with this layout. Slightly longer & better protected wedges with the weight I had left over.

lol extender armor

how does it do without a nwb-like plow at the top ? do bots just fly over it often ?

EDIT: lel is for fags

NEW BACKYARD RIPPER

Mecha · « **Reply #651 on:** July 14, 2012, 01:23:58 PM »

I really like the skin.

Naryar · « **Reply #652 on:** July 14, 2012, 01:25:17 PM »

Nice juggler weapon setup... i wanna ripoff that in DSL.

You can thank Badnik for the skin.

I got his skin pack recently, it's a lot easier than Paint.NET'ing everything, and better than just having a black skin with rivets.

Mecha · « **Reply #654 on:** July 14, 2012, 01:29:08 PM »

Okay, mebey ill get his pack then.

And that bot is really awesome too.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #655 on:** July 14, 2012, 05:46:00 PM »

more usage of my skin pack :D

Sick extender setup. If you were to use maces, the extenders would be like unbreakable.

I didn't use maces, partly because of the weight, but mostly because it would have caused the weapons to bounce uncontrollably. Not really sure why maces affect stability more than other weapons. Although I could lose the popup parts and get maces on, with enough weight left over for something to trap them, like a plow or small blades.

Sage · « **Reply #658 on:** July 18, 2012, 09:19:40 PM »

Yea maces are dumb. Just was thinking its a cool setup!

NFX · « **Reply #659 on:** August 04, 2012, 06:12:04 AM »

Toybox 2. Brought to you in conjunction with an excellent Nifty/SnapperII stack.

248.9, DSA. Invertible. The point was to make Child's Play IV with two extra razors instead of one. Weapons are kinda narrow to me, but I should be able to widen the tribars if I drop to Plastic.

EDIT: Also Blizzard 6. Generic popup. More oriented towards defense than previous versions.

397.9, DSA. 1 Black and 4 razors, popups generally have quick matches, and there aren't much MW's with underside casters around, so it shouldn't need anymore.
