Yeah, I should have used a Nifty. I didn't plan this one out much at all, really, I just put that chassis shape to get an invincible front, then kinda ran with it. If I'd planned it out, it probably would have turned out better. Perhaps a side hammer or popup design of some description would work.

MW version of Blue Rain.

396.6, DSA, Nifty. 5 casters, 16 maces and 2 irons. All built off a SnapperII, and no havok. Uses pretty much the same setup as Blue Rain, but tweaked a bit to get the 16 maces on. But there's always one stupid flaw that crops up. IT'S DOING THAT DAMN TILTING FORWARD THING AGAIN. Maybe it'll stop doing that if I change the 25cm casters for 20cm ones, and mount them higher up.

That said, I used 2 Snapper IIs which meant I couldn't get a 5th caster if I used shinies and razors. But it doesn't tip rightside-up or upside-down because I angled each rack 2 notches up/down. :P

Wow, two bots in one day! I'm doing well.

Better MW Insectoid thing than the one on the last page.

398.7, DSA, 1 Nifty, 1 Small Air Tank. All built off a SnapperII, with the setup as last time, HPZ drive and Snapper2 wedges, but a slightly bigger chassis to get the air tank in properly. Also improved wedge extender stuff (wedges still suck, though, but could be sorted with fine-tuning), better placed casters, and a static mace for better stability. Hopefully. And it doesn't obstruct opponents as much as the iron did.

:D You managed to get the air tank in. Love the look of it. Can it self-right?
Also like the look of Blue Rain's older brother. Would tilting the rack slightly fix the tipping problem?

NFX · « **Reply #606 on:** June 12, 2012, 11:58:30 AM »

I've not tried it yet, but it should be able to. I'm not sure how that would affect wedginess, though, because they don't retract to their original position. It can sometimes scuttle around if I fire the piston.

"Insectoid thing" looks bad ass dude.

Yeah, some nice work there.

Really liking the look of your MW Insectoid esc bot (Insectoid is my favorite stock bot so that figures :P).

Revised middleweight rammer deal.

Same weight, same internals, same everything. Angled the outer maces to stop it tilting forward, and moved the HPZ's inward (by accident) to offer them better protection. Casters appear to be a bit pointless now, though. At least they'll give some protection if the maces get taken off. No havok or AGOD. =D

Gazea2 · « **Reply #611 on:** June 14, 2012, 09:20:34 AM »

That looks awesome. Nice work. :D

Something I did to stave off boredom.

Reasonably standard 36HS. 798.0, DSA. 2 SnapperII's, all built from 2 20cm extenders. I like minimalist extender work. 5 casters, BA+CB+Supervolt stack. Single Black worked for Monsoon in Annihilator, so I thought I'd use it here. Totallly invertible. Nothing too special. I think the original Schizophrenia is better than this one.

find a way to put the ramplate in front. on top it's pretty bad... since there's like only one hammer bot that can ever come close to beating it.

I think it's okay on the top. What if it gets flipped over against a popup or other undercutter?

That's what I was thinking about there. The motors are going to be protected by the weapons, and if the weapons do go, then the motors become a bit pointless.

A meaty FS could mess that bot up, but you don't normally get anything out of the HS-rammer-Popup-VS quad these days in RA2.

Foul language removed .... USER WARNED!

Foul Language? In MY Showcase? Get <expletive>ed.

Back to some building. I seem to be recycling this chassis quite a bit for my spinny LW's.

248.7, DSA, 1 Nifty. Finally managed to get a LW FS/HS Hybrid. HS is meant to push opponents into the FS, similar to that IRL HS with the Sir K Drill on the wheel that Click build in DSL. Invertibility's obviously compromised, but aside from that it works reasonably well. Not too sure how I can improve the design much.

Pwnator · « **Reply #619 on:** June 20, 2012, 03:50:51 AM »

Oh, that looks so sick.

Does it KO fast? Because it's pretty much a vegetable after 45 seconds or so.
