Any plans on new Flamethrower bots?
Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Somebody (not that Somebody) toss up a bot type I should build with a flamethrower, and I'll present the attempt bot.  Please.

Flamethrower/Hammer.  Make Blacksmith.

Flamethrower/Hammer.
Okay (also snuck in a rammer thing if that's okay).



DSA, 2 Supervolts, Somewhat okay wedges, etc.

If anyone can guess the actual full name of this bot, then no joke, I'll +1 you for getting it (or at least close enough).

is it...red herring


i would personally like to see more hammer and less rammer, like replacing the weapon rack with two snowplows and upgrading to ddts with more weapons

No but good try.  I put that there on purpose to throw you off, hence, red herring.

I'd do that too, but DDT's won't fit because I don't have much room from where the anchors are placed.  Even then if I could move them, I don't think I could fit the anchors in from where the ones holding the bracket wedges will get in the way.

Well I knew you wouldn't have put the real name in the file name, but I had to try anyway. :P

Was going to comment on it before, inb4 it's called Red Scorpion(because that's the name one of my currently unfinished bots is going to get). Looks great, how good are the Snapper 2 hammers and do they retract well? I like it and the brackets add some nice hammer protection as well. Think some space could be saved by stacking two small Co2 tanks(not really sure how that is with the weight), then again it's better to have drive wide like that and it's going to be like that anyways, thanks to the supervolt.

Looking at it now, Dark/Shadow/black Scorpion seems to fit more.

They don't retract as well as DDT's, since they can carry three and retract with lightning speed, compared to the Snapper2, where only two razors work better.

And I don't feel like making smaller chassis for 20 kg of thin components compared to a 14 kg part which nearly the same width as the supervolt.  Flamethrowers can only spit fire for so long.

Eh.



I don't think there's much to go over here.  It's fun to drive and mess around with.  It's also pretty good at fighting HS or just things that don't have a wedge in general, so I guess there's that.

Oh and if you're wondering about the name, have a guess at what means.


Edit: Oh yeah I haven't shown off my Stock Scramble entrant, so why not.



This thing ain't too bad actually.  The weapons spin in one direction to be authentic like the original Tornado, and to make sure that it doesn't get caught in anything.  It doesn't have much for protection, so I need to keep it safe as possible.

triple post bump seriously help



Guess what this is cloning, I dare you.  Seriously, that bot is one of my all time favorites.  I love how the wedges adapt to the opponent it's facing and how many times it's faced it to learn from previous matches.  The wedges on this thing are actually pretty good, surprisingly.  Some matches here did take a few tries (AI'd by the way), but overall, better luck than I thought I had.

Obwalden Overlord!

Looks cool though.  Can it figure out how to wedge the first time it fights something, or does it have to fight multiple times?  Also how does it know how much to wedge?

I remember having a clone like that but with the drive on the actuators as well. I also remember there's something wrong with it, but I forgot what. kek

Tornado looks pretty badass, though.

Wait I build in stock?  When did this happen?



DSA, 2 Supervolts, and my wedges are most likely still terrible.

Edit: Swapped out the useless razors to get two rubber wheels in.  It's probably better, but still very untested.

lawnmower blades are neat for the cool factor but wouldn't ramplates help out more in that situation? neither protects the zteks really. I mean it wouldn't change that much but still

you may be able to get some motor protection on if you sacrifice like 2 irons from each weapon but its your call. I do kinda worry about the weapon getting amputated.

other than that, very solid imo

So stock is still a thing?  I feel like a normie trying to use trash/dead memes to sound hip and cool at times with this.



DSA, SnapperII mounted, 1 Supervolt.  Haven't tested it much, but it goes wildly out of control due to AGOD on the lower spinner rack, so it might just win matches by trolldancing like a spaz.  Actually now I got a new name for it.

Also fun fact, this uses a old bot's chassis.  Like... really, really old:

(Image removed from quote.)

Damn I made a crapton of clones back when I was a teenager, I also had a lot more free time and patience as well in Stock, so I guess there is something I miss from my early days.

surely you have enough weight to get 18? maybe im senile. mine may have been plastic. clean build either way.
i would definitely spin both weapons the same way though, otherwise you'll be having a harder time getting the surface area for big hits.
