are the Z-Teks static ? maybe the collisions for them are messing up and blocking the weapons ? do you ever loose the Z-Teks ?

Yeah, HPZs are static. And no, you have to take out most of the razors before taking out the HPZs.
 
And the brackets don't hinder the weapons either.

Make the weapon spin downwards. It still grinds and keeps them where you want. It's a drum so it won't snag, too.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Hahaha, I forgot to tell you guys that I did that too. Made the wedges worse, and still almost no damage at all except for start-of-the-match charges.

I suppose try angling out the razors a click or two and see if that helps.
Looks way cooler than CD though. :D

Maybe bots are hitting the single edge not the double one on the razors.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Yeah, like Reier said try angling the razors out more from the disk. I think the increase in overall drum size may help it do damage.


For once the mods did something right

Razors don't have normals, so they should still deal major damage.


And yeah, I'll angle out the razors by a notch or two and see what happens. :D

That looks like my prototype Drumblebee 6 that failed because it was unstable and bouncy.  I wonder why yours has good wedges.


Ah well, doesn't matter much if it can't do damage...


Now if only we could combine Drumblebee 6 with Core Trencher and get 2 new bots, one of which is stable and powerful (and the other would fail in every possible aspect).

DDT wedges and a relatively long stance.







And no, still nothing.




Even my old bot can KO II AI bots within a minute.

Maybe the bots don't fly upwards as much on the old version.

I tried spinning them downwards, but same thing. Plus, that gave Core Trencher terrible wedges.

Hmmm... for some reason Core Trencher's fixed now. I just replaced the CFZ file. o_O

And say hecko to my Metal Mayhem entry!



Not sure if it's realistic enough for Jonzu, because the ends of the tribars slightly intersect with the RADs.

 :eek:   I never thought I would ever use the words "realistic", "stock", "HS", and "good" all in the same sentence.


It's surprising what comes out when you restrict certain aspects of bot building.  Things once thought impossible suddenly start being done.

If you scrap the realistic rule, you get this:



That's Magnetar's chassis, so the CB's stacked into the black. And even with a spinspeed of 13, it still translates a bit faster than bursted RAD drive. Must be the drive positioning. :D
