I'm not entirely sure how to do that. But it seems that FBSPlus works well. The LW's beaten everything in SCV4 so far. Only opponent it seems to have trouble against is Drone, but it can take out the rest of them in the BBEANS arena with relative ease. MW has some trouble with the pushier opponents, but that's just its mobility handicap coming into play.

Oh, so it's just a 1WD HS, S_M style? That's what I thought when I saw the first bot, but you said it was a LW SnS, and later something about Urjak's fancy AI for his Bane series (of which I've never heard since I'm not into DSL), so I was just trying to guess what the Bane AI does.

It seems to be similar to that, yeah. I just didn't like how the plow only offered defense on one side, so I went for the casters option.

In other news, I decided to see if I could make a decent Middleweight FS/HS Hybrid.

398.7, 2 Nifties, 6 RADs in total. Does well at taking stuff off, perhaps a little bit low on outright speed and battery life. Random iron because I had weight left over.

I liked Geice's better. :P I like how you went for undercutting RADs, though, since the FS look like they would prevent bots from just climbing over. It doesn't look invertible, so if at all possible you could try angling the iron up for better trapping so it doesn't just sit there and block the two FS.

Could you test it out a few times and see how the discs do? I don't have much experience with FS but maybe this one could benefit if the plow covered the disc but not the razors.

DSA or plastic? Looks pretty nice either way, Fs/Hs brids are pretty good.

NC's (nightcracker's) Stacking Tool is a program/macro (I don't know the correct terminology) that uses AutoHotKey to move the cursor by a single pixel when you press a combination of keys, allowing for much more precise positioning of components on the baseplate. It was actually the first thing he did when he got here. =D

That would be me! It actually is a combination of AutoHotkey with a C script because I had more control with moving the mouse through C. I thought before I was going to make it C-only and remove AutoHotkey, but I think it works fine as is.

can i have a copy?

DSA. Also hecko Geice. =)

The discs seem to stay on relatively well, though, the plow was added to protect the motors. I'm probably going to see if I can get a bit more battery and drive on it, though.

2 nifties is doing it wrong. Use a black.

I prefer Nifties, just because less weight is spent on the chassis. With compact chassis such as this one, more weight is saved overall by using a pair of Nifties rather than a single Blackvolt, I've found. Leaving more weight for weapons, extenders and such. Sometimes it can make a lot of difference.

6 RADs in total.

so it has rads for drive ? can't imagine it's pinning ability to be too good

NFX · « **Reply #551 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:17:29 AM »

I wonder if this will work.

396.0, DSA, 2 Nifties (shut up Naryar), HPZ drive. 6 maces and 10 irons in total. I could drop to Z-Tek drive, and swap the ramming razors for maces and side irons. Definitely more extender work than I'd normally use, but it does look a lot cleaner for it.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #552 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:19:41 AM »

That looks awesome. Have you tested it yet?

Pwnator · « **Reply #553 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:25:18 AM »

Yeah, it seems like downgrading the drive is worth it.

Naryar · « **Reply #554 on:** May 06, 2012, 06:31:25 AM »

Why are you using 2 nifties, you know one black is better and lighter.

NFX · « **Reply #555 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:10:29 AM »

Better, possibly, lighter, not necessarily.

The chassis can be made smaller, and you save more than the 2kg you expend by having two Nifties rather than a Blackvolt. So it all works out in the end.

Speaking of which:

Now has Z-Tek drive, 8 maces, 2 irons, 6 razors. Still DSA, still 2 Nifties, 398.0 Has a rather nasty habit of tilting forwards which lowering the casters somehow makes worse.

Fracture · « **Reply #556 on:** May 06, 2012, 08:31:39 AM »

Very awesome looks-wise. Maces don't look like they get much action though.

Sage · « **Reply #557 on:** May 06, 2012, 10:25:40 AM »

I would say try to move the drive back 20cm or so. Should help the tipping.

NFX · « **Reply #558 on:** May 08, 2012, 06:20:30 AM »

Popup time. Not in the style I would normally build, though.

797.9, DSA. 4WD HPZs, 12 razors on 4 DDTs, 14 casters in total. Wedges are mounted on the baseplate, so they actually work.

Oh so similar to my bot.
