Insides, minus the battery. Tried mounting the SnapperII lower, but it either wouldn't drive, or the weapons didn't hit.

Somewhat reminds me of Arcade 2. :3

I like it.

did you try having the drive motors 4 notches up instead of 3?

NFX · « **Reply #443 on:** August 06, 2011, 03:35:53 PM »

Not tried that yet. Could work. I'll give it a stab tomorrow.

My two cents: Switch back to shinies, try and make the chassis a wee bit shorter, then switch that razor in the front for a plow. Or at least another weapon with more coverage/durability for those exposed HPs. Looks solid altogether.

Unfortunately, I think I've gotten the chassis as small as I can without using Hax Mode. If I could shave an extra 1kg off somewhere, I would go Shinies + Plow, but the only thing I can think of is dropping to Plastic...

Drop the razors on the HS. Nothing is going to hit that, especially not when it's behind a mace and an iron spike.

They will hit something once the maces fall off. :P

Besides, check the meshes. They WILL hit something when the opponent has speedy components (i.e. side hammer arms and stuff).

Here's what it looks like now:

Swapped the rubbers for shinies, and flipped the RAD's around so the axle was at the back for better balance. Also added a plow and ice pick for frontal protection. Same internals, but the SnapperII isn't raise off the baseplate this time. Works slightly better inverted, but it only has Plastic armour. 399.0, though. =D Take that, weight limit.

I think you can shave off that chassis more. Try making more block shapes instead of angled shapes. What I do if I need to use 'clear outline' is make a screenshot, copy it in paint, align the picture in paint with the ingame one, and then alt-tab copy with the changes I need.

I hope you can shave off enough weight so that you can go DSA if you drop the ice pick.

Really like it. Nice job. Would have done well in Roboleague.

I did try this to start with, but the points wouldn't go close enough together to give me an angled shape like that. Not sure how much weight I'd save with that either.

Looks good even though the plastic is blah.

What? 36HS is evolving!

Congratulations! Your 36HS evolved into a 45HS!

Yup. 45 maces of doom. 798.0, DSA, 1 Black, 1 HPZ + Granny for drive. 4 casters on the underside and a plow for defense. Works by the torque reaction of the spinners turning the robot one way and the wheel turning it the other, resulting in forward motion. Can only move in two directions, though: forwards and turning right.

SKBT · « **Reply #454 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:13:22 AM »

Sweet, how does it preform compared to a 36hs with it's mobiliy handicap?

NFX · « **Reply #455 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:14:18 AM »

I'm guessing it'll be alright, I'll do some proper testing once I get back from my resit.
