Love the look of Blue Rain 2, shame that it doesn't work too well.
The AW looks like something ian would make, he'd be proud. :P 1 pink?

Both of them have one pink. I'm also guessing 1WD AW's aren't allowed, or even if they'd work.

Let's not talk about 1wd AWs now, I don't need to be reminded...

they both look really nice, I'm still trying to make a really effective and cool AW wammer. I think the razor needs to be moved back a bit for the wedge to work.

Don't Step On The Coconuts!

123.7, DSA, 1 Pink.

If I lost the caster, I could shrink up the chasses enough to get a second pink in. If it'll stack. Pinks are easy to stack, though.

Decent LW. Not sure if it's anything new.

248.7, DSA, 2 stacked Nifties. Also invertible, probably. Weapon motors and Snowplow are all on individual BA's stacked together. I'd originally wanted the bot with irons or maces, but the Snowplow BA wouldn't exostack, so I used a 20cm extender and gave the bot a second Nifty.

I'd say given that this setup is wider and not held by a single extender/connector, this should be even better than CP4. Me gusta

Can you raise the drive Rads and the BA that holds the snowplow by 1 click so that it can have a lower groumd clearance?

I don't think so. That would mean raising the CB as well, and I don't think I have the space to do that.

It certainly appears that way. I've tested it against pretty much all the LW's in Starcore V4a, and it destroyed everything.

...everything.

Yay pre-building maths and ultratight chassis. Presenting a possible RIW4 entry, Creep.

248.9 sans Smartzone, 1 Black, DSA. Snapper2 wedge, which is wedgier than most of my bots, and 3 eFFed razors on another Snapper2, which also self-rights. RAD drive, so it's a bit slow, but the five casters help against HS and the like, despite the narrowness. Although opponents do get caught on them sometimes, but that doesn't happen often enough for it to be a problem. Should do very well once I get the AI and Smartzone placement sorted out.

I'm going to be blunt:

It's a great bot and will go pretty far, barring stupid matchups or bad luck.

Also, it's got a nice skin. You put a ton of effort. (pre-building maths lol why are you like me so much)

Fracture · « **Reply #692 on:** August 22, 2012, 10:09:10 AM »

Nifty and Redbirds could be an option, but you don't see many RAD LW popups nowadays so maybe just keep it for sentimentality's sake.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. That's the thing with you.

Glad you like the skin, though, I was wondering if 1024x1024 was too much.

But any drive other than RADs would have meant that too much weight was spent fitting everything into the chassis, and I would have either had to lose the wedge, the caster defense, or both. Hence the pre-building maths, it's annoying as

planning something out, only to find you don't have the chassis weight right for it.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #694 on:** August 23, 2012, 07:55:10 AM »

It reminds me of my lw, No Left Turns. Only the right way up.

Naryar · « **Reply #695 on:** August 23, 2012, 01:36:30 PM »

So does the casters protect stuff ? I'm not so sure about Stock LW caster popup...

NFX · « **Reply #696 on:** September 09, 2012, 12:33:51 PM »

Robo Zone 2 Prototyping. Also because I don't think I've seen this done before.

AW Popup. 124.2, Plastic, 1 pink. Extender stuff because I had weight left over. I might try to see if I can eke 1kg out of the chassis to get a second razor instead of the extenders.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #697 on:** September 09, 2012, 12:38:04 PM »

AW Popup?

ianh05 · « **Reply #698 on:** September 09, 2012, 12:55:23 PM »

Yep, by using an axle and an extender to counter-act it you can create a pop-up effect.

NFX · « **Reply #699 on:** September 24, 2012, 12:38:14 PM »

More AW stuff. Thought I'd have a crack with Fracture's adorable little chassis. Entered into Robo Zone 2, here's XOR.

> 124.7
> 2 stacked pinks
> 2 razors on an axle mount, 1 static razor

+ Good battery life
+ Damaging weaponry
