great is everone coming back

[Mecha]

Welcome Back NFX! 
I knew you would be back eventually.

[Virus Bomb]

welcome back too. i kinda like how that setup looks with the rads on each side covering up the redbirds. too bad it havoks though

[R0B0SH4RK]

I like that setup. I will absolutely have to steal it now.

[Sage]

Dope setup.

[G.K.]

I've been out of building for too long, can't puzzle that setup out.

[Venko]

  back, NFX.
Nice bot.
We can use one more exellent stock builder (you) right now, since stock is pretty much dead.

[NFX]

Glad to see people still like my stuff. I might stick with Stock for now, if there's a lack of builders here. Since DSL3 has confused me a little. Took Blue Rain's chassis (the one where I tried to klone Geice's rammer) and made this adorable little killing device. And yes, the name is supposed to be capitalised in that fashion.

- Not as much battery life as would be preferable

[ty4er]

looks awesome <3

i think it would be best if you were to make the chassis wider or more curved at the front with that leftover weight though

[Venko]

Cute, but you definitely need a longer/wider reach for those "claws". To gain a weight for more extenders or whatever, you can sacrifice the middle 2 casters.

[NFX]

Got rid of a caster in the middle, had enough weight to make the arms twice as long. Everything else is the same.
 

[NFX]

Another one. Tiny 36HS.
 

 
799.9, 3 stacked Nifties, 2 stacked SnapperII's, DSA. 6 HPZ's, 3 Casters and a ramplate. Also havoks too much, and I'm not very happy with the ramplate position. Schizophrenia's still better than this one.

[Badnik96]

Nice, reminds me of Mace in da Face.

[Fracture]

Hey, I'm liking those downward maces! I seriously hope you recycled Schizophrenia's chassis for that because I would HATE having to re-stack three Nifties and a control board!

As nicely as the ramplate rounds out the weight, I really think that a snowplow provides better range of protection, endurance, and of course free weight. You could use the 4 kg to create a different setup and maybe eliminate the havok?

[Sage]

What was the reason for doing three nifties? Otherwise it's cool. The snapper load looks difficult

[090901]

What was the reason for doing three nifties?

Less weight than 2 blacks

[NFX]

090901's got it, 3 stacked Nifties cost less weight overall, while still giving enough power for the 6 HPZ's that a 36HS typically needs. You can also create a smaller chassis as a result, giving you a little more weight to play with. I think I came up with 16kg saved using 3 Nifties over 2 Blacks. I think I'd have to have the plow upside-down to keep the bot balanced, and I'll try to sort the setup out with the saved weight. It's only four 20cm extenders holding all the motors on at the moment.

Venko dare you : invent a new general (HS, VS, popup, and so on) type of bot.
Stock, HW, MUST be tournaments legal, CAN NOT be just a hybrid, MUST be "never seen before", and MUST be at least SC2 effective.
I tried this.

You should make a thread where people post their challenge results
