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

Pwnator · « **Reply #561 on:** May 20, 2010, 06:16:03 AM »

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.

Pwnator · « **Reply #563 on:** May 20, 2010, 06:24:39 AM »

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.

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.

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.

NFX · « **Reply #570 on:** May 21, 2010, 05:37:03 AM »

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

Pwnator · « **Reply #571 on:** May 21, 2010, 07:22:30 AM »

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

Pwnator · « **Reply #572 on:** May 30, 2010, 12:46:04 AM »

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.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #573 on:** May 30, 2010, 12:56:30 AM »

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.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #574 on:** May 30, 2010, 01:03:50 AM »

awesome SnSnSnS meets stock.. honestly I thought somebody would have done it first :P

Stagfish · « **Reply #575 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:59:24 AM »

I hoped there would be designs that would be able to make in real life...

Pwnator · « **Reply #576 on:** May 30, 2010, 08:09:31 AM »

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

NFX · « **Reply #577 on:** May 30, 2010, 10:36:35 AM »

That's some pretty sweet realistic extender work you have there. =P

SnS might be tricky for mine.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #578 on:** May 30, 2010, 11:32:38 AM »

WHY SO GOOD?

Naryar · « **Reply #579 on:** May 30, 2010, 12:05:02 PM »

Personally i'm going to klone Inf's Spyguy with razors and caster armor.
