Cool and original bot (Mercenary). But those plows are doing very little good there--the wheels and Snappers and chassis are still exposed. They would be much better about 20 or 40cm further forward. They would also protect the pistons there too. Maybe take off some of those blades on the wedges? I see you have two stacked.

Original? :P

But yeah, I'll ditch a pair of blades and fix the plow setup. After that I'll fix the Homage VS. XD

Aaaaaaaaaaand here's the fixed Mercenary!

And because of the better weight distro, the wedges are now much better.

The pistons seem a bit exposed.

Naryar · « **Reply #266 on:** September 07, 2009, 09:33:07 AM »

Do you really need grannies ?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #267 on:** September 07, 2009, 10:32:58 AM »

Yeah you need to fix those pistons

Sage · « **Reply #268 on:** September 07, 2009, 10:59:21 AM »

Instead of the aglers coming off the back blue snappers, just use a 20 cm facing that way. it will save 2 kgs and make the plows wider. with those 2 kgs extend the plows another 20 cms each, covering up the plows even more.

Pwnator · « **Reply #269 on:** September 08, 2009, 04:30:06 AM »

I'll try Sage's advice soon. Too much to do at the moment.

@Nary - I kinda needed the grip since its steering is kinda wonky like Blade Wave. If I switch the rubbers it won't be invertible anymore.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #270 on:** September 08, 2009, 06:40:39 PM »

how about a v shaped piston/rammer?

Pwnator · « **Reply #271 on:** September 09, 2009, 09:31:52 AM »

Great idea! I'll do that after I finish my 4th Homage bot. :D

And Mercenary's fixed! Again!

And along with Mercenary is another Homage bot!

Yep. This is what happens (I think) when Heaven's Sawmill meets ItI (and Click's ItI remake). Those in the front are 2 40kg ballasts. And yep, the wedges are slightly better than NWBs. Too bad it doesn't have enough drive to deal quick OHKOs (its fastest was 4 hits in 10 seconds).

I'm gonna pause on building Homage bots for now. I'm gonna stack that CB into ACAMS's chassis. x_x

roboman2444 · « **Reply #272 on:** September 09, 2009, 02:54:26 PM »

ballast!!!

System32 · « **Reply #273 on:** September 09, 2009, 03:32:43 PM »

Yeah, they help wedges when mostother objects would be a waste, newb.

Sage · « **Reply #274 on:** September 09, 2009, 05:47:11 PM »

yay looks like my idea worked perfectly. good job.

philetbabe · « **Reply #275 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:35:31 AM »

Mercenary is typicaly the kind of bot i've tried yo build but never get it.
Stock bots with piston are some of the harder to construct, and in fact, there are not some much in showcase.

Very nice job

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #276 on:** September 11, 2009, 11:55:18 PM »

Mercenary looks great now.

Heaven's Curse needs bigger discs. Chained VS greatly benefit from having large-diameter weapons; you don't get enough grab-and-throw action with small ones (which is what you want with chained motors; constant grinding will bring them to a quick stop).

On the other hand the wedges probably wouldn't be as good with bigger discs. Maybe medium-sized discs?

Pwnator · « **Reply #277 on:** September 12, 2009, 04:05:34 AM »

I tried a bigger disc, but the clubs scrape the ground even with slippers (and fats). I do, however thought of a better weapon setup which I'll try when my homework's done. :D

Pwnator · « **Reply #278 on:** September 21, 2009, 01:22:10 AM »

I couldn't make it better without making it look more of Heaven's Sawmill than ItI, but here it is:

And it's still wedgy enough to beat NWB more than NWB beats it.

And here's my first crack at RDT3:

Took me about a total of 3 days to get that CB in. And since the tourney is mostly for looks, I just quickly whipped this one up. I could also classify this as a Homage bot, as this was inspired by High Tolerance and Hexavert. Too bad the wedge is only average and it also Havoks a lot. But because I haven't finalized my submission for KoK, I might simply tweak the bot and whip up a n00by splash for RDT3. XD

Naryar · « **Reply #279 on:** September 21, 2009, 01:42:53 AM »

It would be better with a generally wider setup methinks.

EDIT: Wait is that ACAMS's building contest chassis ???

... Win.
