Oh. XD

I was about to post this in the Starcore Revival thread, but the design kinda deviated too much from the original. So I'll post my new Jupiter rebuild here instead:



6WD with 4WD for drive, 1 black, 16 flailing irons and 6 static irons. I had some static irons attached a bit inward so the flails can do enough damage to the opponent and still fling it away so it won't easily get gut-ripped.

Time to go back to the Homage Series. :D

I think it would be better with SnapperII-bursted 4WD and moar irons.

I agree with sage.  It does look very effective... but sloppy as all heck.  Don't worry Pwn, this isn't a smackdown on your building abilities but we know you can do better. I think it could be lined up a bit better and made more uniform.

While the bot apparently does kick ass... there is a degree of design beauty to be achieved with with the design to make it a completely awesome bot.

@ Nary - one of the reasons I changed it to 6WD is because a lot of wedge can easily get under it even with full spinning speed so it needs more drive motors. My old Jupiter rebuild was KO'ed by R4 in 3 seconds. XD

@ Sage & JD - Which is why I said the design deviated too much from the original. I know I'll find a better setup someday, but so far this is what I could think of for 6WD with 2 snappers. XD

And that's why I love R4. Good to see a bot I built ~3 years ago is still highly competitive :D

Happy birthday, DK! :D

Anyway, I originally tried to clone Nary's Seppuku (now renamed as Ronin) in stock, but I wanted to add some elements of Sage's Mario as well. So here's what came out:



6 razors, 1 black and plastic. Though underpowered, most of its matches end quickly anyway (win or lose, and all the matches in the splash were less than 30 seconds :O) and the ramplates counter the downside of plastic for defense against uber-HSes (but not by much). After some tweaking, I'll skin this and finalize it along with Quasar 4 for II AI. :D

Nicely done.

You could replace one of the ramplates with DSA, which might be beneficial.

Very nice, as usual.

Short of what Sage said, I can't think of any improvements. Good job.

I haven't forgotten about you, Stock! :D

Anyway, I tried rebuilding the sideways popup with DSA and a single ramplate, but that version was even weaker against HS. So the plastic one will do.

Along with that, Quasar 4 and my Jupiter rebuild, here's the 2nd HW in my team for II AI.



2 blacks, 4 HPZs and redbirds, 16 razors and DDT wedges. Heavily inspired by FB's Red Tide IV (the one in BBEANS4 is VI, which has only one drum. IV has two drums - the bottom drum spins up and the top one spins down), this bot is meant to be a quick killer. Great wedges, and can own most gut-rippers within 25 seconds. With the exposed redbirds though, it usually gets creamed by HSes when it doesn't kill it fast enough. Anyway, I like it a lot and I'll just need to build 2 more LWs and I'll make the team splash soon. :D

I love it

I have always wanted to build a drum bot but every single design ends up looking to much like clicks :P

but this one is something nice and new  ;)

I'm loving the interesting caster placement you have, but I hate the exposed motors.

I don't know if it would be beneficial, but you could try rotating each redbird a little so the axle is more towards the front of the bot instead of sideways.

Find a way to cover those redbirds and I may have a new favorite HW.

Well, if you can out wedge your opponents with that it looks basically indestructible. The redbirds are hammer fodder, could you tone down the caster armor a bit while still keeping effectiveness? I like it a lot!
