You can't attach more than 7 components in a chain. My DDT was on an extender from a Snapper II so I had a hard time redoing the setup.

Durnit. Still couldn't stack the black for my first Homage bot. >.<

Ahh ok thanks. Keep trying with the stack blacks, It will require patience. ALOT of it

First bot from the Homage Series is done!

What happens when you mix Absolute Chaos and T-800 Terminator? Hmmm...

Major credits to Inf and to Starcore. Chaos Terminator has 36 maces on 3 HPZs. I tried my best to have a weapon breaker, but I couldn't free 1.8kg to have a lawn mower blade instead. And those 2 casters actually help against popups (and I thought those were only for angling down, and SpiTe's scary :O). Next up for the Homage Series is a VS (you'll probably know already who/what I'm basing it from). :D

My bot, Accident Waiting to Happen, was originally built to be a servo-powered That Darn Dustpan! type bot like Jigsaw, but I couldn't get it to be any good. It just didn't do enough damage before the weapon broke for one reason or another. So I went with the high vertical flail spinner instead.

So you start the jaws in the closed position, and open them only to let bots in? Interesting. One of those things everyone has thought about, but no one actually does. I think you need longer, curvier arms to clamp HS's.

And good job with Chaos Terminator. It's amazing how much more you can do without that fourth Z-tek eating up weight.

And Jigsaw was originally built to have flails on a static motor. Yay. XD

And my clamp worked when I went against mono-level HSes like Mr. Hell. But if Jigsaw faces a HS with top and bottom spinners, it'll get owned within a minute. XD

I accuse pwnator of BFE. Proof: His rammer a few pages back has castor armor higher than is possible by my reasoning. Also, he has stacked 2 blacks and 1 cb many time, which, while possible, is very hard.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #226 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:12:07 AM »

Sage does raise a valid point. I really doubt that you could legitly position the castors in that way on any bot. I've tried it myself. It's nothing against you, Pwn, it's just suspicious. Please either explain, provide a video, or admit to .bot file editing if you indeed did it.

Pwnator · « **Reply #227 on:** September 01, 2009, 04:02:04 AM »

Hmm... my first version of it had BFE. But that was only for the CB to test if the axes can reach out the casters. The second version didn't (took me more that half a day trying to fit the CB in, but it did). I'll post a video of the casters when I have the time. :D

Pwnator · « **Reply #228 on:** September 01, 2009, 05:20:51 AM »

I used BFE for the first Crankshaft only for the CB. I enlarged the chassis a bit just to be able to stack the CB in for the second version (took me more than half a day to do that).

If I can recall it correctly, here's what I did:

2x snapper II, 4x extender, 6x HPZs and rubbers, 2x extenders, axes, 2x extenders, axes, 2x extenders, more axes, then the 2 batts + CB. Then I used a 25cm caster and to my shock, I was able to put it at a high level. I just took advantage of this and completed the whole thing.

Sadly, I wasn't able to reproduce the outcome on the same bot that I finalized. If most people weren't able to replicate that said situation, I do not consider that bot as legit, so I'm scrapping it. Besides, I have a better setup in mind already. :P

However, please acknowledge the fact that I didn't use BFE for the final showcased bot. Note that the top casters were one notch away from the top (they were red at its peak). I could never BFE components at the exact height since I only use integers. I've always wanted to become a special part of the community, and not to be known as a cheater. This must be one of those circumstances that Venko was able to make a legit uber-stacked bot while others weren't able to replicate it. Which is why I had to painfully stack 3 blacks on Supernova and resumbitted a legit Jupiter rebuild when SSG noticed the special control board attachment point. :D

Sorry if I sounded too defensive, I'm kinda down lately (one of my favorite teachers just died and I really miss her right now).

Back to the positive side, I wanna ask something: Are Bounty Hunter's wedges pressed against the ground or do they only scrape the floor? I've always wanted to clone it (for the Homage series) but my wedges are either too low or too high. D:

Alright. Weird glitch on the castors. Maybe we can find out how to harness it...

pyscolone · « **Reply #230 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:48:47 AM »

I can only agree because on Homage, how would you get the SnapperIIs that close and be able to add an extender to the 2nd snapper after you attached the motor to one.

@PWN: Do you want the botfile ?

Edit: Nevermind I don't have any of my bots, my bad.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #231 on:** September 01, 2009, 12:33:02 PM »

Thank you for clearing that up.

Perhaps the castor thing had something to do about the exact height of the chassis. Could you post the .bot file for Crankshaft please?

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #232 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:19:18 PM »

Pyc, it only has three motors. He attached the first snapped, put an extender and then snapper loaded it out. Then put the second snapper.

but on the other stuff, idk man...

pyscolone · « **Reply #234 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:27:38 PM »

Unless he attached the middle HP motor and plow on the same point, IDK how he did it.

Pwnator · « **Reply #235 on:** September 02, 2009, 04:09:45 AM »

SD's right. I just did some snapper loading for that. But I also dunno why my extender for the 2nd snapper was able to pass through the 1st one. Must be the same reason why blacks can be cross-stacked.

@ R0B0 - Sorry. Deleted it. I don't want to possess bots that take advantage of advanced glitches (I had a ZeroG bot once, but that happened a long time ago). :D

@ Pys - It's okay. I'll just wait for the BBEANS pack to come out instead. XD

I guess you deleted all eFFe Using bots... and those rupters?

If you can get it, tis OK.

Pwnator · « **Reply #237 on:** September 03, 2009, 04:06:11 AM »

I haven't built a rupter yet and eFFe is an advanced glitch? o_O

But good point, I did use advanced snapper loading on most bots. XD

But yeah, if the community can't use that glitch then I consider it unfair.

Not enough motivation to finish my Homage bot, so I'll just whip up a cheap SnS later. XD

Pwnator · « **Reply #238 on:** September 05, 2009, 08:36:13 AM »

DP!

Sorry for the long wait. I had a hard time stacking the CB. :D

Yay cheap SnS. XD

The bottom pic was just for fun. It happened on the first try. Never been able to replicate the outcome after that. XD
