That looks like quite a good popup. =) Decent protection on the front, too, but some of the more well-built HS's are still gonna eat the edges poking out. I, and Blizzard 2, know this. Only improvement I can think of, try and get the chassis as tight as you can around the components, and try to get Rubbers on there. Gives you better wedges, I believe, provided you know how to build them right.

I'm sure there must be a curve of Razor Tip quantity vs. Damage Potential somewhere. It strikes me that the more razor tips there are, the slower they'll move, and the less damage they'll cause. It's just a case of finding where the biting point is. Seism 13 only had 10 Razors, am I right?

HS's seem to have their ways with most robots. I could try to tighten the chassis but the insides are pretty packed to begin with.

I don't really have much know-how on building wedges right, aside from "put them on burst motors and have the burst motors force them down."

Try & put the wedge on a DDT if you can

Not enough room/weight allowance.

Besides I think it's time for me to work on something else now.

Also, if you could crop your pictures that would be great.

Ok I'll do that from now on.

I decided to revisit the HS. The result is a robot I called Centrifuge. He's got a HPZ spinner with 6 razors mounted on a servo, two shiny wheels on reversables, a black battery, and double aluminum. The control board has been consumed by the HPZ.

Also, I cropped the pictures.

I miss those PYS AI-era HSes. XD

I had an idea that could make it invertible, but I forgot about the rule of 7. Oh well.

I understood everything in red. lol

Please enlighten me.

I would add an extender downward from that vertical AP, but it wouldn't give you the same razor setup as before due to the rule of 7.

I guess I understand now.

Any other criticism/suggestions/comments etc.?

Chassis could have been done better IMO but really not much you can do for that bot anymore. That's the way HS's go usually. Easy build, but still nice.

Looks good.

Noodle · « **Reply #153 on:** July 05, 2010, 07:00:35 PM »

Anybody got any ideas as to what type of robot my next showcase bot should be? I'm suffering from builder's block.

Try a poker, I haven't seen you do one yet.

A poker is what? A rammer with really long spikes (kinda like eye poker, except not crappy)?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #156 on:** July 05, 2010, 07:34:12 PM »

No, a bot with burst pistons.

I tried making a poker, and my first attempt was pretty bad. I'm gonna give it another try tomorrow.

Noodle · « **Reply #159 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:26:28 PM »

I've always hated pistons. I'm having alot of trouble with this poker.

This is all I've been able to come up with that isn't a total ripoff of the one on the beetlebros site. It' does a great deal of damage, but that's simply because I blatantly ripped the weapon itself off beetlebros. It also has only 5 slim batters and one small CO2 tank.
