PrIOritY has been more successful than any other crawler I have built so far, and it's kicked the butts of (destroyed) Ultimate Spammer (deathmatch), Little Darling, Epic, and Mr. Hell, (all in a Battle Royale), Maelstrom (v3, deathmatch), and a LOT more other bots.

Regardless of how "famous" the bots are. Put all your bots in one post.

Good going Geice. You should test your robots against something from after 2004. Visually they're fine. Pacman does not need two wedges, but good on you for making an attempt. If your rammer's weapons touch the ground too much, then you're gonna want to fix that because they're not going to do as much.

Good point. Not only do the weapons deal less damage, but they cause drag. I'll fix that next time. Also, I think the nifty's a bit too little for a MW.

A lot of negativity in here, I'd like to say that your bots looks great for a newer member. The LW popup looks interesting and the AW looks like a cool if extremely ghey idea.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

you know when a bot is famous? When it either shows up in many tournaments and does well, or when it gets its sh** kicked in a spectacular style

Lightweights have had two pinks since the total output is 200, and you only need that much. Just be careful because MWs have longer fights than LWs and you'd be cutting total power by about half.

I see. Thanks for the tip!

Moving on, This little spinner uses 2 spinners to inflict damage, and it also has 15 cm. castor armor, DSA, and a supervolt for power.

next, a better version of Stromata. It's not as exposed, and has DSA.
This is stromata...

This is easily one of the coolest bots in the entire pack- a dual drum spinner with 32 razors (16 on each of its massive spinners.) It's very stable, and has a central gap that the drums are exposed to. This actually allows this bot to break popup wedges!

DSA for armor, 2 supervolts and 3 pinks (a little too many batteries), and ram plates on the front like Neglected Waterbug. Could be faster with 4 HP zteks instead of 2 HP zteks.

This little antweight uses a ninja star sawblade to inflict damage. It has DSA, which is something most other antweight spinners don't have.

If I added plastic armor, I could attach another pink, but I decided to just keep DSA on this bot.

a BW hammer. This bot's designed to strike popups and wedges, and it does a fair job of doing just that. Spinner fodder, though.

You know, PrIOritY lost against Countdown (another (old) bot in the AI pack), and It wasn't easy. Countdown won by KO, but it was at last minute. PrIOritY had 27489 points, and Countdown had 28067 points. Not to mention, Countdown lost almost all of its irons.

Sometime, I'll fight them again.

I dont have much to say about the bots since I dont build to the meta but I will say that you should try put all the bots into one post rather than have separate posts for each bot. youve shown off 5 bots today and they could probably all been put in the same post.

Also Kix is right, a bot is only famous when it does well in a tournament or gets the sh** kicked out of it in a tournament.

Can you actually listen to people (including a mod) when they say to put all the bots in 1 post?

You seem to have the basics down fairly well. Some general advice for now is that the shiny hub wheels are generally the most efficient wheels, avoid t connectors and y connectors since they are inefficient and ugly and try using the side points on the red and black extenders more for angles, replacing the concave angles in designs (like in some of your crawlers and pokers and popups) with straight ones will help save on weight (by reducing surface area), use this to help you figure out the right number of batteries for your bot, and you could probably improve by learning some heavier glitches.

Overall your robots are still better than most new builders.

I think this guy might be a multi account

If you're not then please put all your bots in one post. It is easier to read. Also don't post in threads that haven't been active for a long time unless you have something very important to say

Your bots are good (if you're not a multi)
Guess who's back

You've got a point. If the hammer attacks a popup, its front end will be lifted off the ground. Also, when it does, BANG! Game over for the hammer.

I really like the name you named the LW castor armored face spinner. It makes me laugh. (and by the way, it's a lightweight, weighing in at 247.6kg.)

I'll looked at the battery tutorial (By the way, I LOVE the beetlebros site), and as it turns out, you're 100% correct. 1 pink =1 HP ztek, so 2 HP zteks can be powered with 2 pinks.

It's a thot experiment lol

You can run one Ztek off a pink but you should only do that for rammers since they don't have much total power
