These are some of the bots that didn't turn out right...
on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this bot? I'm curious.

Okaaaay...

I rebuilt a face spinner. It's very stable thanks to n12 wheels. DSA.

Again, noooooo replies.

Anyway, more bots...
LW poker. To prevent it from looking like Reckless Infiltrator, I angled all the spikes and the piston. It's now an anti-popup bot. VERY difficult when it came to AIing this bot.

a better version of BOTH Stromata and Grey Bulb (nicknaed "Not Stromata" by a few members). It's just as deadly, but now invertible, making it just plain deadly.

tried to make a popup with snowplow protection. The weapons are damaging, but a little "whacky" (pun intented)

I learned how to get axle loading to work- made a LW hammer. It can hit wedges as they slide underneath it...

Problem? sssssppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

SHW rammer. Fun build.

HW poker like Insectoid. No too similar, so don't ask about similarities, please.

Rebooted Artemis.

It's a popup that rupts for some reason, probably due to unnatural extender setups. It does a TON of damage and gets constant 1 hit KOs.

With that said, this should be a big hit for the next BOTM.

I built my first Ironforge!

You can see it in my new Ironforge showcase.

why are you still using y connectors on popups

They tend to cause razors to deliver more damage. If you have more than 2 razors, then round extenders are best. I tried both combos, and Y connectors just proved more useful on some popups.

no they don't they're gonna do the same amount of damage as two razors on extenders. all you're doing is wasting 2 kgs using them over round extenders on popups

Got it. However, that will eliminate the rupt in ARTEMIS.

Reboots at hand...

ok, a few things ive noticed over your last few bot dumps

*you should never be using a wheel other than shiny hubs or rubber wheels (slipperbottoms if you absolutely need to). fatboys and n-12s are just wasted weight.
*grey bulb needs more weaponry and less drive. 12 razors is nothing on a middleweight hs, and you're wasting weight on the extender work - you could use one anchor and a pair of round extenders for that same setup.
*your angled poker thing is overpowered i think, or at least you're using more weight on batteries than you should be. re-arrange things so you can stick a nifty in there and try to upgrade the drive too. redbirds kinda suck
*i like the idea behind the snowplow popup, and i think there's some potential behind it. re-shape the chassis to eliminate extra space, and maybe swap the two snappers with a ddt. do you have one black or two?
*i'm sure you can rotate the black 90 degrees on your hammer and fit the rads in the chassis, then use the weight (or some clever black extender use) to angle the plows out a little bit (like you have on the popup) to improve its trapping ability. if you have weight after that, try to sneak a caster on the front. the t connector is wasted weight as well, you could use a sideways black extender instead.
*insectoid clone is pretty decent, but i'm like 90% sure emergency wedges are generally worse than small wedges when it comes to getting under things, just because they have more surface area.

you're definitely coming along as a stock builder, but you have a ways to go still. keep at it dude!

Yes, those last two are terrible. The bot with fatboy wheels is my N00b Warz entry. Reboots at hand.
I appreciate your support.

Yeah I'm still enjoying this, I just took a couple days off. We gotta get you stacking black batteries so you can get a little more efficient with your chassis shapes.

Yeah definitely progress. I also will be lurking.

I do see quite a few clones, but that's good for learning what you need to do for each bot type.

Try and get you wheels closer to the center of the HS posted a couple pages ago and swap the irons for maces.

Hey, Scrap Daddy

I try to stack blacks, it's just that it doesn't work sometimes...

I plan to develop more stock today. It'll mostly be reboots such as a new Dark Sky and other bots like it for version 2.0.

only "clone" I see is Transistor looking like Gone Fishing.

Other than that, I build my bots from scratch. They just wind up looking like other members' bots.

Also, stacking maces on a 36 mace HS is a royal pain in the butt. I don't have such time to do that in the process of making an AI pack...

why servo wedges? snapperIIs should fit and work better

other than that it's pretty solid. one black or two?
