Well.. I'm irritated over how everything in this era of stock spinner building looks the same. Hell, almost to the point it almost HAS to.

So... here I'll be recycling a tried-and-tested formula, with a recycled name you'll see in the very first bot in my showcase-

Here's a pair that use the completely same setup and chassis - RAD drive, nifty and a snapper at the back. They manage to go upside down too - dunno how many others like this will.

Nah, they're not multibots.

They're just two different weight class bots using one setup.

ahh
so sort of like my wipe-out series.

Dunno about the Nifty for the MW... but they both look OK.

Why did you do the extenders the way you did for the weapon on the MW? Are they not more exposed that way?

Granted, they do have a bit of a power problem- but then that leaves blaring questions as to how Fury and Tempus get so much leftover weight. Well, Tempus does have plastic armor but that shouldn't save the required 14kg for a Supervolt.. because it sure moves more but loses less (power)

Like having plows raised one level of elevation for a level posture. Couldn't do that so a compromise was made. As for how effective the snowplow is exposed.. well... the MW hasn't lost yet, other then being out-weaponed (twice by Fury, nothing else)

You can probably solve that by using maces instead. :D

I'm not sure what your goal was, but those are very generic HSes that are quite obsolete looking.

So SC4 (and it's killers) is obsolete before it even came out?

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #129 on:** November 14, 2009, 11:12:04 AM »

No? But there is a good amount of bots still in SC4 that are obselete and need upgrades, yes.

I was going to enter a bot into Terror Twisters for the

of it.

Not a new, striking design, not something that'd destroy all without actually making proper contact with the other bot, no.
Something for a laugh. Competence is a bonus. It is (well, kindof) on both counts.

One problem - TT isn't a MW tourney. Oh well.

The name came from my concept Stock's Revenge tourney bot. Took the EMERGENCY chassis, made it better, and wanted to think of a name different but similar to EMERGENCY.

Along came DETERGENCY. It made sense as there are Detergents, that's where the sort-of cleaning theme comes in.
One google search later I found it was actually a real word. Go me.

So I made a MW version. Which is this.

You can enter it as a multibot in TT.

Heheh....so how does it do?

RedSawn · « **Reply #133 on:** January 29, 2010, 05:26:10 PM »

@090901: Oh really now? I think I'll be looking at the rules again.

The wedges seem to be excellent, so that's a good bonus. Damage has gone up to 800 so far, which is... well, a little weak, but still an improvement from EMERGENCY ofcourse.

It naturally pales against modern day HSs though.

Are multibots allowed ?

Yup.
And pwn,Check PMs.

RedSawn · « **Reply #135 on:** January 29, 2010, 05:32:24 PM »

THAT explains why I couldn't see it. Alright, I'll get working on AI again.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #136 on:** January 29, 2010, 09:26:43 PM »

fight or flight style.. does it fire both at once or separate under AI ?

Naryar · « **Reply #137 on:** January 29, 2010, 09:34:45 PM »

Not Fight or Flight... more like the old Cranky Spanky.

RedSawn · « **Reply #138 on:** January 29, 2010, 09:42:13 PM »

I'll be doing my RA2 homework.

Haven't actually AIed it yet but planning to have both go at once.

RedSawn · « **Reply #139 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:04:17 PM »

I HAVE to test this out against AC under BBEANS5 conditions. It was the only speedbump in my run, and unluckily it came twice.
Beating it would mean this tweaked BFR might just of won the whole damn thing.
