The Dastardly Duo: One-month bump AND double post. But I assure you, 'twas not a useless one-month bump/double post hybrid, for I have a new bot.

Armor is DSA.

This bot is called Compaq RAM, even though Compaq never actually made their own RAM from what I can find.

If I were asked to summarize how this bot was made, I would say this:

SMMUARY:
Name: Compaq RAM
Weight class: Lightweight
Bot type: Rammer
Armor: DSA
Weapon: 8 Irons
Battery: 1 Nifty
Drive: 2WD HPZ with Shinies
Weapon power: Drive

ADVANTAGES:
+Really fast
+Damaging
+Invertible

DISADVANTAGES:
-Can't turn to save its life
-Somewhat prone to attacks, especially from VS/popup
-Somewhat havok-prone

Thoughts?

Looks nice. Bit underweight though, maybe stack a caster where you can.

I would move the weapons forward but I can't think of a better setup than you so...

Pneumonia sucks. Bleh :P Here have a 36HS.

Armor is DSA, stacked supervolts because I am only 31% lazy and I took the five seconds it took to stack them.

They call it Hackey Stack because it looks cheaty in spite of the fact that it is 100% legit. It took about an hour to build and was surprisingly easy. The snappers are angled slightly downward because snappers are stupid and keep resetting the position of the weapon motors. This bot does not have any AGOD whatsoever. I know, it's a miracle.

SUMMARY:
Name: Hackey Stack
Weight class: Heavyweight
Bot type: Horizontal spinner
Armor: DSA.
Weapon: 36 maces
Battery: 2 supervolts, stacked
Drive: 2WD HPZ with Grannies
Weapon power: 4 HPZ

ADVANTAGES:
+Destructive
+Fast
+Compact
+Pole spike-free

DISADVANTAGES:
-Havoks when it turns (No HS/SNS for me

)
-No castor armor, so it is popup food.
-Kinda messy

Thoughts?

Move the snappers further apart so you could stuff the black between them. Saves space and weight for 2 casters.

looks awesome, i like how you did the extenders and the weapon motors. Glad to see i'm not the only one doing 36 hs's. only downside is the extra space and no external armour. Keep up the good work :D

Hi I'm rnifnuf and I'm a bumpaholic.

Armor is DSA, the weapon motor is HPZ.
I'm out of clever ways to introduce bots. Here is Buzzsaw, named so because it was originally a sawbot, then I realized that Stock sawbots really suck about as much as... things that really suck.

ADVANTAGES:
+Somewhat fast
+Good fast weapons
+Invertible
+Highly funky

DISADVANTAGES:
-Exposed weapon motor
-PHB (Potential Havoklear Bomb: A bot that could potentially cause extreme havok explosions)

Thoughts?

turn the snapper around so you won't have to use extenders for the motor at all

Mr. AS · « **Reply #67 on:** January 25, 2014, 01:44:26 AM »

Or: you can just use 3 baseplate anchors. That frees up enough weight for you to upgrade to Ztek drive. It also won't havok at all.

KOS · « **Reply #68 on:** January 25, 2014, 07:27:21 AM »

You can make then chassis a lot smaller. Shrink it so the nifty and the snapper only just fit, but only place the snapper. Then attach the T then snapper load and then place the nifty. (saves alot of weight)

Or: I could use two, as I did here:

Armor is still DSA.
I decided to make it an undercutter HS. Its no longer a PHB. I also added Z-tek drive. Stacking the anchors like that was easier said than done. Wow, these are really short sentences.

Thoughts?

MassimoV · « **Reply #70 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:31:46 AM »

I would still use 3. If you're going to make it an undercutter, I'm thinkning you could shorten the chassis, stack the drive baseplate anchors,and if you can't stack the 3rd one into the same space as the other 2, raise it above them.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #71 on:** January 26, 2014, 12:56:51 AM »

But you used 6kg on extenders when using two BA's...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #72 on:** January 27, 2014, 05:09:56 PM »

I really don't like irons mounted like that, just something about it makes it look kinda sloppy.

KOS · « **Reply #73 on:** January 27, 2014, 05:17:24 PM »

(from badniks advice) try using 2 extenders on the tribar, then attach the irons, this means that they hit at the same time. (do more damage)

rnifnuf · « **Reply #74 on:** February 21, 2014, 10:49:10 PM »

So I wanted to make servos not completely useless, then this happened. Consider it an experimental bot.

Armor is DSA.

This is Sir Jack-of-Alltrades, a VS/HS/Rammer hybrid thing. It changes its weapon by way of a 702 Servo motor which the horizontal disc is attached to. I have actually had this idea for a while, but never got around to following through until now. It has grannies to help the VS component stay off of the ground. And yes, this is the same exact chassis used by both Compaq RAM AND Buzzsaw, who is up for renaming.

ADVANTAGES:
+The Jack of all Trades

DISADVANTAGES:
-Master of none.

Thoughts?

Good luck AI'ing this.

It doesn't look like the razors would stick out too much when you switch to rammer mode, but am I wrong?

Naryar · « **Reply #76 on:** February 22, 2014, 07:46:06 AM »

what the ****

edit: oh wait it's a servo modulable weapon ? :O

Mr. AS · « **Reply #77 on:** February 22, 2014, 11:19:54 AM »

Servos aren't even completely useless anyway if you use them for something like an S.O.B. kind of clamp.
You might as well just ditch the servo and make it a rammer/HS hybrid, this setup just isn't working out.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #78 on:** March 16, 2014, 11:14:45 PM »

I COMMAND THY SHOWCASE TO RE-EXIST!

Armor is DSA.

This is the Wide Ravenous Attack That Hurts, otherwise known as W.R.A.T.H. It uses servos to get all of the weapon Z-Teks on extenders as shown. I figured out that if you slightly angle the extenders slightly higher than intended, the Z-teks will weigh it down and get the extenders in the desired position. The square extenders are of the 140cm kind. It also has grannies to make it invertible-ish.

ADVANTAGES:

+Highly destructive
+Fairly wedgirific
+Strikes fear into its opponents

DISADVANTAGES:
-Abysmal battery life
-Kinda slow, especially when the battery runs low.

Thoughts?

Does it have 1 or two blacks?
