try spinning the snowplow 180 degrees so you trap the other bot

Somebody · « **Reply #121 on:** October 25, 2008, 06:08:56 PM »

Pretty good, but some weight left over. Definetly put the snowplow closer.

I see your all liking Matrix, but I have another one that you will like more!
C.H.A.O.S. Mk.3

Unless something hapens, this will be my BBEANS5 entry. I would use irons, but there to heavy.

again: the two Z-Teks infront block everything behind them from doing any actual damage...

Very true, try to line up your motors better.

wrong. tribars are not discs. things go through them. theres nothing wrong with this setup. i bet its actually pretty good.

There are multiple lines of defense.

Chassis is too big.

I'm actually working on a 36-iron HW HS nd for that you need to have a god damn small chassis...

Really, I didn't know that. :Confused:

Quad and UrbAn brawl could lose to an Ant.

Darkwing needs a smaller chassis, and might have steering probs.

ShadowArts · « **Reply #130 on:** October 26, 2008, 12:16:06 PM »

Oh? I didn't know that either. Still, wouldn't it be more efficient when they're lined up? Also, weight could be gained - and power saved - if the number of Zteks was cut in half and instead, the weapons on each tribar were doubled. How many black batts are in it?

R1885 · « **Reply #131 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:10:04 PM »

I would like to point out that C.H.A.O.S. Mk3 uses eight hp Z-teks. It only uses one black. I could get two spikes per head, but that would mean six kilos of weight per bar. Multiple that by eight, gets me 48 kilos of extenders, not counting the weapons.

Naryar · « **Reply #132 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:59:31 PM »

Well downgrade to 6HPZ's, stack another black and use the remaining weight to strenghten your other spinners.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #133 on:** October 26, 2008, 03:42:34 PM »

On CHAOS MK.3, there might not be weight to replace all the razors with iron spikes, but you can certainly replace SOME of the razors with iron spikes. There's nothing saying all your weapons must be uniform. In fact, if you replaced the razors on the back two spinners with iron spikes, it would give them added reach and solve that problem ShadowArts was worrying about.

I would advise against cutting the number of spinners, because then it would turn into a carbon copy of every other HS ever made. 8 tribars mashed together like that is actually semi-original, and there are definite benefits to eliminating the weak extender link in your weapon system (one of them being 10x more resistance to my bot Frag Beetle).

Matrix looks good, reminds me of FB's Mad Hatter.

FYI, Thunder Hawk doesn't get up to speed because you have no supports in the front and back, so the chassis drags on the ground when it's spinning. You'll notice that on Thunder Cloud and Dark Cloud, I have extenders coming down off of the front and back connection points of the disc with razor tips on them. That's for stability, to keep the chassis from hitting the ground, and it's essential for the bot's functioning.

Burst- or servo-enhancing the weapon motor also helps drastically. Hard to do on a MW, but almost essential on a HW.

Amen Click... It's been months since we seen any original HS around.

BTW R18- How stable is it? Once a motor or two is ripped off?

nefarious is completely original in its design... people just don't realize.

I have been in such a frenZy with DSl, I haven't been working on stock that much. I have built some new bots, but I'm not sure you can call them "good".
This is Sparta:

This is why you don't put as many spikes on pop-ups. It is some what capable, but it be the last thing I want to enter. One good thing about it, is that it has stacked blacks!:-D
Matrix Database:

An improved Matrix. I love servos due to them taking up less space in the bot. Weapons moved up, and are wider.
REaSON FOR GUILT:

My first pop-up under 400 kigs, and Ok one at that. Has six razors, but I'm not sure if its done right.
Hive Tyrant:

It has stacked blacks, eight razors, great wedges, and uber drive. But I need to improve reach. Other than that, I think its a good bot. All feed back is welcomed.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #137 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:56:54 PM »

For This Is Sparta: Is it possible to put some caster armor on that? I would definitely try to use that extra 200 or so kilos. All are pretty well built and that first made popup isn't too bad either!

Wow, over a month, well I got one bot for you all. And I will be fair, when BBEANS5 comes along, you will all die.
TrinityMan:

Don't know what to do the last 140 or so kigs. Any suggestions would be nice. BTW, the reason the spiners are so low, is that its Anti-AC. If its well made, only the lower maces should hit the spikes. BTW, has any one made bindings for Trinity SnS's?
