I originally wanted to make my own version of Leech, but after I placed the 4 tribars together I couldn't bring myself to place the rest so I turned the bot into a hybrid and inadvertently created a sequel to a c-lister bot :

Before :

After :

2 blacks, 2 Snapper2s with 3 razors each, and wedges are better than NWBs. As a bonus, in the event that it gets outwedged it can still disrespect the opponent with the spinning razors and survive a hit (depends on the steepness of the opponent's wedge).

that looks really nice bud. nice hybrid.

Spinner armor is the best armor.

How is it against 36HS? If the spinners tend to break, flipping the tribars upside down and lowering the angle motors might make it more resilient.

You haven't looked hard enough kid

3 pinks and featuring the first serious stock MW robot to use the minimum chassis height (the one you get by clicking on the bottom of the height slider)

Whoa. That's pretty cool looking, but I can imagine that getting torn to shreds since the weapons don't spin. Can I see an inside shot please? Just to see what you did exactly.

The weapons basically work like flail wammers do on DSL, it's surprisingly effective against HS since the energy of their HS spins the razors which ends up killing them even faster (as a bonus due to how busted the tri-bar collison mesh is there's a 2/3 chance that the razor would bypass their weapons and snap off their weapon extenders).

The minimum-height schtick isn't exactly novel. Rammers use it, for the most part, although this is probably the first gutripper I've seen with one.

Doesn't detract from its build quality, though. Very nice.

The 3-pink setup is actively harming your robot. Only does 300 output where as a nifty does 400 output and is 8kg lighter.

Nifties require you to raise your chassis though.

Naryar · « **Reply #168 on:** February 23, 2016, 10:55:04 AM »

output is not important here since he has 2 motors anyways.

Electotal is, however, and i'm not sure if 3 pinks or 1 nifty is better in electotal. Well, nifty's more efficient weightwise, but lower gutripper is important too.

IIRC 3 pinks gives out 21000 electotal while 1 nifty gives out 24000 electotal.

It feels like Pwnator has made this bot before....

2 blacks, and I have no idea how good the wedges are since ASAI has no clear "bot with best wedge" like in Starcore.

Badger · « **Reply #171 on:** February 24, 2016, 10:12:44 PM »

looks insane. Do those iron on the bottom hit much?

Sage · « **Reply #172 on:** February 25, 2016, 01:30:22 AM »

love bracket armor. don't like the weapons. seem ineffective

Theoretically they work like 2Sinister, but when I tested it the irons are way too easy to be stopped, maybe maces would be better.

09090901 · « **Reply #174 on:** February 25, 2016, 05:51:21 AM »

it's way too thin imo. weapons need to be spread out more.

Gauche Suede · « **Reply #175 on:** February 26, 2016, 02:38:48 AM »

1 black + 2 pinks, outwedges everything in ASAI, and has 24 razors.

Due to increasing school work and the mid-tests coming up, this is probably the last time i'm going to touch this game for a while.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #176 on:** March 08, 2016, 03:12:06 PM »

I actually really like the idea of the unpowered tribars. The execution on this one could be better though....sooo I'm gonna steal the idea and build it eventually ;P unless you nail before I do.

I haven't played stock in a while, but I think the difference between an axle and rad is only 6kg so I wonder how much weight saved is actually worth it having the tribars unpowered. But you have to include deleting the extra batteries that would be used with rads...but the lack of killing power without a pop-up wedge and then you need the second battery....I'm rambling, but you have good ideas in the showcase, Suede. Nice to see originality still can be found in stock.

The bot's basically a stock version of a flail wammer in DSL so using rads would kill the bot since it'll have less razors to ram with, but right now the time-to-kill is really long unless it's fighting a HS, so this setup would probably be better as a pop-up hybrid since the pop-up can deal damage while the spinning razors can act as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_armour against HS/FS just in-case it can't get a clean bumrush for some reason (like if they're fighting on the BBEANS arena)

Take 2 on the whole reactive armor thing :

3 blacks and Plastic.

Reier · « **Reply #179 on:** March 23, 2016, 11:07:32 AM »

i cant really see anything but it looks cool
i assume it has a popup arm in the middle?
