Still couldn't get the chassis right for my Fury clone, so here's a new LW:

I tried to look for a more space and weight-efficient setup for an invertible poker, but all I could come up with is a Battering Lamb clone. Oh well. DSA, 2 pinks, 7 maces, an ice pick and 2 razors. One anti-HS LW left and I can make the team splash. :D

For some reason, when I saw that your showcase contained a new post, I thought that you had built and posted something inspired by L. Pardinus, and I was right (kinda) XD.

Looks really good, but would it benefit the bot if the drive were mounted closer to the front for better turning speed?

Pwnator · « **Reply #342 on:** December 29, 2009, 01:34:01 AM »

Actually, my poker was initially inspired by Trov's MW mace poker (it's somewhere in the BOTM topics). But yeah, I'll try that. :D

The Ounce · « **Reply #343 on:** December 29, 2009, 01:39:18 AM »

So there IS another mace poker out there! Never actually saw one though.

And it's because it looks too skinny to me.

Pwnator · « **Reply #344 on:** December 29, 2009, 01:42:54 AM »

Pys also has a MW mace poker (his first bot showcased here). :P

But don't worry. Your design is quite unique. XD

[Edit] Oops. Trov's is actually a rammer. Oh well. That still inspired me. :P

Pwnator · « **Reply #345 on:** December 29, 2009, 04:42:32 AM »

W00t DP!

Anyway, rearranged Sabot's drive, and now it looks more like a clone! XD

And finally here's the 2nd LW:

Sonic Boom. DSA, 2 pinks, 8 irons and 2 razors, HPZ drive. Actually, I would have used ice picks instead of razors. But no matter how I rotate the irons at the ends, I couldn't attach the ice picks the way I wanted to. Oh well. Still does fine against most HSes. :D

Everyone might follow the new trend "2 pinks are enough for a LW rammer" but you still have the weight to put on a Nifty since it has more electotal.

System32 · « **Reply #347 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:37:22 AM »

Pink's save weight in *most* cases, sadly this isn't one of them.

Pwnator · « **Reply #348 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:39:16 AM »

Hehehe. I made that bot in 6 minutes. But I'll fix it when I can. Right now I'm building a MW that's gonna replace Quasar 4. Probably gonna use flails. XD

Pwnator · « **Reply #349 on:** December 30, 2009, 05:35:27 AM »

Hmm... funny. I just realized that using a nifty saves more chassis weight than two pinks on occasions. o_o

Anyway, here's my team for II AI: Project Mayhem

Top Row (L to R): Sabot, Sonic Boom 2, Starburst III
Bottom Row (L to R): Seppuku 3, Helix 2, Dandelion

Sabot - Recently showcased. 7 maces, 2 razors and an ice pick, two pinks, RAD drive, DSA. A threat against HSes and can KO a lot of wedges as well.

Sonic Boom 2 - Using a nifty actually saves weight on this one. 10 irons, HPZ drive, DSA. Much more destructive than before, and for some reason it can trap some wedges in the rack. Side irons help a lot against SnSes, too.

Starburst III - I tried scaling my Jupiter rebuild down to a MW without making it look too much like Click's Chain Reaction. Not that good, but can still give most gut-rippers a hard time. 6 static razors and 4 flailing razors, a single nifty, Snapper2-bursted 4WD HPZs, DSA. Worst bot in the team, but it'll definitely hurt when you let it touch your chassis.

Seppuku 3 - Showcased before. 6 razors, DDT wedge, a single black and plastic. A quick killer, of course. And as always, it hates unstable HSes.

Helix 2 - Recently showcased. Probably my wedgiest HW, 8 razors, 8 irons, 4WD HPZ drive, 8 casters and DDT wedges. Deadly. 'Nuff said.

Dandelion - Showcased before. 6 static irons and 16 flailing irons, 6WD HPZ drive, a single black and DSA. Shallow wedges can still avoid its weapons, but it has a habit of dealing 1-2HKOs when it touches any part of the chassis.

:D

Great job Pwn! that Nifty Thing was new for me too!

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #351 on:** December 30, 2009, 10:28:19 PM »

I gottta ready up my team

Pwnator · « **Reply #352 on:** December 31, 2009, 12:47:44 AM »

Kill's loaded rupter failed, but I really like its concept. So I fiddled around with one of my old popups and came up with this:

Sadly, this is also a fail. Yes, it can rupt consistently. But the problem is that I couldn't get the razors to hit the opponent's chassis everytime it fires. The only way to make it deal some damage is for it to fire prematurely and let the bot go airborne with the razors orbiting it while letting the opponent come closer. When the opponent comes close enough, the flying razors might luckily hit the chassis. Wedges are great, too bad they're useless on a bot like this.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #353 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:27:02 AM »

just curious but why do the wedges have the extra extender sitting on to of the extenders?

Pwnator · « **Reply #354 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:40:10 AM »

I had extra weight. XD

Sage · « **Reply #355 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:49:17 AM »

Yea I fiddled around with loaded rupting too, couldn't come with anything of merit. Learned a few things about it, but not much else.

Pwnator · « **Reply #356 on:** December 31, 2009, 05:28:45 AM »

ONE MORE!

Of all the LWs in II AI, Shock's design has always been my favorite, even if it just sucks. I tried rebuilding it, and here's what I came up with:

With a smaller chassis and most of the anchor stacked into the nifty, I made a setup that lowers the disc so it's more stable. And with the long extender setup sticking out, it can now self-right instead of spinning like a top. As long as the chain it spinning fast enough, it WILL self-right. I've had some troubles against wedges that sometimes stop the chain when it's self-righting, though. XD

Can you Pwn help me, Where is II AI Pack!? >_<

Looks like a strange bot PWN.

@ GK - Well, Shock is a strange bot. Rebuilds of it should also be strange. :P
