Irons are indeed static. And they were primarily designed to work like R4's ears, but cause damage as well. It's been a feature of all Parabolic Trajectory inceptions so far, and they do the job very well. =)

Cool. I was just wondering whether angling them more would help trapping but there's no need to fix what isn't broken, eh?

NFX · « **Reply #482 on:** September 15, 2011, 01:58:04 PM »

True. Plus, if I angled them forwards any more, it wouldn't self-right at all in that position.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #483 on:** September 15, 2011, 02:00:24 PM »

Yup. Love the look of that bot.

Stock Dump 2: Stock Harder

Left: Update to Schizophrenia from a few pages ago. 797.9, 2 Blacks, 1 SnapperII, 2 plows, 3 casters underneath, DSA.
Middle: Rejected BOTM concept. 394.9, DSA, 1 Black. Could add discs a size larger.
Right: Another failed BOTM concept. 399.0, 1 Black, DSA. Works fairly well.

The one on the far right looks interesting. Hows it test?

NFX · « **Reply #486 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:03:16 PM »

It actually tests alright. It managed to beat SCv4 Fury and the one from The Spaminators a couple of times.

What's it called? Cheap Win SNS or something?

Only joking, it looks pretty =D

As long as you're already using BFE you could make the arms on the crawler SnS like Frag Beetle's arms and it would be approximately 13x harder to hit the extenders.

I think he used Hax mode...

HAX! *Throws monitor*

Trying to get myself back into Stock building.

Still a 36HS, usual single SnapperII, HPZ's, two plows and DSA, but powered by 3 Nifties this time. The logic being that less weight is spent on excessive battery power, and more weight can be used on defenses, such as the 4 casters on the underside. And the iron on the front, which might have been a bit pointless. Tribars are at stupid angles because that's the only way they would attach. I'm probably gonig to rebuild this at some point, it's only proof of concept at the moment.

Looks really good! Can't think of anything major, but perhaps having shinies and adding another caster?

Pwnator · « **Reply #493 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:48:19 AM »

I doubt you would need more than 4 casters for a chassis that small.

Sage · « **Reply #494 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:42:25 PM »

Looks messy. I always attach the tribars during the sloading, so i can get them to aesthetic angles.

Yea, I need to build at least a couple more bots... it's been a while.

NFX · « **Reply #495 on:** December 03, 2011, 05:12:30 AM »

Tidied it up a bit. Swapped the Iron for a Razor, and the Rubbers for Grannies.

798.5. Still DSA, 3 Nifties and a SnapperII. I've calculated that approximately 16kg is saved with the battery setup I used.

A 36HS with 3 Nifties?

STOCK HS HAVE BEEN INNOVATED.

But HOW did you stack 3 Nifties AND a control board? I dread having to stack just one Nifty+CB!

Woo, thanks Click.

I was thinking since one Blackvolt was slightly underpowering this particular setup, and two was overpowering it quite significantly, I'd try to go down the middle road in terms of battery power. If I'm honest, I'm slightly surprised nobody had thought of it before, maybe we were just too used to using Blackvolts for their electotal or whatever it is they outshine the others in terms of.

And I still have no idea how I managed to stack them all together. It took several attempts, then it just sort of happened. One Nifty & CB seems quite easy for me, though, I've had a fair bit of practice with it during building LW's.

Sage · « **Reply #498 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:48:19 PM »

I call either hax mode or NC's stacking tool

also, people use blackvolts cause it makes bots easier to be invertible (shorter chassis)
