powerrave's briefcase
« on: February 08, 2010, 04:12:35 PM »
yes i put my robots in a briefcase.
anyway, time to reshow what i have. don't have anything really from the old days. tried rebuilding a few. keep in mind that i make realistic bots only.

first off, i had rebuild micro vulcan as it was a decent light weight flipper doesn't have the screen shown in the pic.

and then i wanted to try and rebuild tetra vulcan, my middle weight flipper. i later on found pics of the old one andd found out that i made a slightly improved version.

next up was... well.. i remembered having a rammer so i made one with the same idea. first was called mega vulcan. i forgot that and now it has a new name, power struggle.

then i came with the brilliant idea of rebuilding my magnet bot. and i made an exact rebuild of FBSmagnet 3.

next up was the N-disc serie... i forgot all the older ones and just started on a new one. appeared to be number 5 in the series and the first one to be able to selfright.


i'm glad to be back and i will try and make new and realistic based bots.

I like the bots. You should use Shinies instead of mini's and grannies instead of N-12's on your bots though.

i do agree, but granny wheels are so ugly =[
tried shiny on micro but that turned out rather bad. i more often flipped myself. and N-disc has the smaller wheels for minimum ground clearance. they barely touch the ground. the disc btw doesn't do to much damage, but works wonders on wheels.

Although realism is disliked by most of us in stock, these bot's look quite good.

Micro Vulcan: I would raise the RAD's by about 3 dimensions. Then put shinies on.

Tetra Vulcan: Use shinies, with the remaining weight, you can get a wedge.

Power Struggle: Only one black battery is needed for this, use shinies, try to remove some of the useless angle connectors. If you have enough weight, you could turn this into a poker.

FBS Magnet 3: I'm not good with FBS

N-Disc 5: Use and Hp-ztek for weapon motor, and add a wedge.

Perhaps you already know... but there is a file uploader on the left hand side of the GTM main site. That way you can just let the site host and sent the link to your friends, enemies, family, loved ones, pets, authority figures, etc etc. 

B.T.W.  I reeaaaaaaly like how you set up your pics as spoilers in the message like that. It keeps it really clean. Interesting idea.

The rammer is cool looking. Looking forward to seeing more of your bots.

didn't know that. and i can even send them to my guinea pigs!? AWSUM! and i am used to using spoilers to avoid having larger posts then needed.

will attempt to these things. but i'm not a big fan of pokers. and i was actually planning to make a 6 wheel version on power struggle.

tried HP ztek for Ndisc when building up, but was to lazy (yes i am a slacker). a wedge may be handy, but i think that the would have to make the disc longer. hmm... gotta try it out anyway.

and FBSM is just fine i think. my friends tried to fight it, i had major lag and he just could hit it. he hates it now :P

someone has got to like them, then let it be me.

please edit your post and use correct English  :mrgreen:

i do agree, but granny wheels are so ugly =[

:D somebody finally understands my thoughts...

the bots are really radiating cool looks, power struggle looks awesome with the wheel guards. as Naryar did say realism is just ignored in stock not disliked so keep doing what your doing if your happy with it and we will take them for what they are  ;)

wait, how does the magnet spiner work?

by spinning around like a maniac with it, unless the enemy can't or doesn't want to come to you. then you just ran away and maybe later start spinning again. kind of a FBS and rammer combo.

also, what is RFS?

Jeeze llooop. Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone was brilliant and all-knowing like you.  /end sarcasm

Pardon his rudeness Powerrave.  Radio F Software is a member here that likes to build realistic bots as well. He has stuck to that for quite a few years. Probably one of the more passionate realistic builders on the forum. I (agreeing with lloop) think he would like your work.
