prank: made a 3wd bot
Would this be legal for the 3WD challenge 09?



It's kinda sluggish when moving forward, and it turns like crazy... as expected.  The smartzone placement is changed from that screenshot.  DSA and all that jazz.

So I guess with N00B WARZ V hype going on around, I might as well, show off my (possible) entrant.

I went through several copies of RA2 and I can't seem to find my oldest bots, but I had to make an estimate, it would look a little like this:



I hope it ain't tryhard. I tried to make it as n00b-like as possible.  I apologize if I have offended some newbies around this forum.

Old bot that I never posted:



Basically, my take on a LW side popup challenge.  It's not bad overall, but I for some reason can't drive it.  I also had some leftover weight which is why the random anchor with two extenders are there.

couldnt you just make a slightly bigger chassis since the anchor will almost certainly get in the way

yeah, seems like the anchor will harm your wedge's efficiency

I agree.  It would be better, I just didn't feel like rebuilding it at the time.  But now I did feel like doing it.



It performs much better against HS now that it has some extra speed to boot.  Thanks for the comments to encourage me to do this guys.

I guess to celebrate RA2's 13th anniversary, I have a couple retro style ideas for Back to the Roots once that gets off the ground.



Middle: A Hammer/Wammer hybrid.  I'm trying not to abuse rules.  I'm just trying to do a design inspired by Rampant Puppy Love.
Left: An HS that uses "servo loading" or whatever snapper loading is replaced by.  This is an older design made waaay back before I lost patience from stock.
Right: A Harsca style rammer as I would call it.  It's alright, just hard to control.

I ain't trying to look tryhard for the tournament, I'm just trying to make something that fits the theme for the tournament from my memory.

I'm pretty sure the hs would be illegal since you need to effe the zteks on the y-connector

Quote
Have a rule where a popup can use razors only if there is a limit to four or something like that, and you can't use external wedges.  I remember a good number of bots back then that have done that.
i agree, though instead of a razor limit, how about a rule that popups can only use y-connectors for their weapons

i agree with geice on the hs, unless you actually didn't need effe the zteks somehow, that popup rule is an interesting suggestion, i'll see about that

those bots are nice, that rampant puppy love design is scary, that ram s'lack of control may cause him some trouble

Oh yeah, I never did show off my Ironbot Jr. entry, did I?



DSA, 1 Nifty, the rest should be visible.

I think this is one of my favorite bots I've ever built.  Why?  Well, I'm really a sucker for hammers and some other things.

Nothing special.  Two bots have been showcased by with some slight alterations



Basically, it's Mjolnir but with maces instead of razors and a caster, and black extenders.  Everything else is the same though.



Used Metal Muncher's chassis and other things to make an FS with all irons.  It's not too bad.



Found an old chassis and made this wammer.  I haven't tested this yet, but it could do well bear in mind the wedge works and doesn't get the bot halted by the weapons.

jackpot, coal miner, lil dog

pretty sure robo's coal miner is the same but with weaker weapon motors for side katanas. I think yours would probably be the better of the two though.

i'm only a finalist in BBEAMS 7 which was a meme tournament and I just stole a NAR AI bot and made it dense as ****.
and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.

Kinda out of the loop here, is Reforged just ReStocked v2 with completely different bots? Also not sure which remakes are already done, but I propose M.A.D. or Civil Disobedience for #3.

Love #1 so much! Possible to make reach a little better? #2 looks a little plain and possibly long enough to have flank problems. The weapon-breaker/extender protectors on #3 are really interesting but it seems underweaponed; maybe try snapper setup or 2 pinks?

Damn you're good.  And I think the swords on R0B0's version were used for catching bots, but I don't exactly remember.  Might look it up later.

Pretty much, but I think it has enough differences to stick out on it's own merits. Hell, I guess you could also call NAR AI 3.1 "Restocked v3 with slightly different bots."  But I digress.

Jackpot is quite scrunched on weight, so that might be tough.  I was thinking of using pinks for Lil' Dog, but I also wanted to get the wedge to help the bot self right and have some power when it's around the two minute mark.

Lil dog seems like the weakest of the bunch, still solid builds though.

Having built LW wammers before, I can tell you right now that those extenders will fall off faster than Sewer Snake's wheels.  Axes are much more reliable if you have the weight, because they cover the extenders better.

I do like the look of it though.  The others look nice too.

Are DDT wedges really nessecary for Coal Miner ? IMO if you switch to Snapper2 wedges you can get rubbers and upgrade the bottom spinners to HPZs.

And Lil Dog doesn't need a wedge shaped chassis since if the irons go down it's screwed anyway, with the weight gained you can probably get a longer wedge.
