if your wedges are going to be that narrow you might as well just use a single wedge.

I really like the look of that FS (shebeast?), it would probably be better if you ditched the 2 snappers for a single ddt wedge, downgrade to shiney's and get another black in. Good job

Good job, thy showcase. I commanded thee to re-exist, and re-exist thou did. Anyways, W.R.A.T.H. has been updated. He is ready...

Armor is still DSA.

I stacked the blacks, gave it a DDT wedge, and gave it shiny wheels. Also, KOS_Flow is cool.

ADVANTAGES:
+Ravenous
+Wedge is good
+Lasts more than five seconds

DISADVANTAGES:
-Poor handling and speed
-Not invertible

Thoughts?

Looks brilliant, good job

Naryar · « **Reply #86 on:** March 19, 2014, 01:07:03 PM »

me thinks you would really need 4wd on that

shedRift · « **Reply #87 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:14:37 PM »

Why is it not a rectangle? I have read that less surface area means less weight.

Mecha · « **Reply #88 on:** March 19, 2014, 08:05:38 PM »

You could use snapper IIs instead of servos and attach more drive with the back attachment point.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #89 on:** March 23, 2014, 02:37:02 AM »

you gon get raped with only 1 wedge
and you don't need wheel guards, if a bot gets to your wheels its just delaying the inevitable b/c you're probably not gonna be able to get out from it

Kossokei · « **Reply #90 on:** March 23, 2014, 12:44:46 PM »

I wanna think those are less wheelguards and more protection from hs but ehhh

I know nozink

Correct. Those are more to protect the weapon motors than the wheels.

But all that is about to become irrelevant, because I have a new bot I threw together in half an hour.

Armor is DSA.
This is the Iron Sprinter because... it is fast and it has irons--eight of them to be precise.

ADVANTAGES:

+Fast
+Invertible
+Has irons
+Has ramplates for armor on the sides that were initially supposed to only protect the extenders but ended up doubling as wheelguards.
+Not a PHB.

DISADVANTAGES
-Fairly unarmored other than the ramplates for armor on the sides that were initially supposed to only protect the extenders but ended up doubling as wheelguards.

Thoughts?

Pwnator · « **Reply #92 on:** April 11, 2014, 05:11:08 AM »

Ditch the ramplates to add 2 more spikes at the front and 2 maces at the side. That, and angle the extenders in an alternate fashion for lateral defense.

The Twelfth Harvest has arrived!

Armor is DSA.

I made this vertical spinner today. It is a re-design of another spinner that I made earlier. The problem with the original spinner was that it was underweight and unstable. This fixed those problems.

ADVANTAGES:
+Fast
+Wedgy
+Powerful
+Self-righting

DISADVANTAGES:
-Poor battery life, it only has a single black.

COMING SOON:
*Another black battery, stacked on top of the existing one.

Thoughts?

Bubbleman · « **Reply #94 on:** June 07, 2014, 03:25:00 AM »

Add that other battery and you should be set. Looks good.
Was this for flipping bots over or for damage?

(Only took 4 years, but i'm finally a heavyweight. :D [/off topic])

Gazea2 · « **Reply #95 on:** June 07, 2014, 06:25:58 AM »

You might wanna flip the wedges 180 degrees so that they're wider. Do the maces not make it bounce?

Naryar · « **Reply #96 on:** June 07, 2014, 06:42:44 AM »

looks a bit underweaponed to me.

First thing I thought of as well. For some reason maces and vertical spinners typically don't mix.

Even if that bot seems stable, I bet the wedges would be better with irons.

I also question if 4WD is necessary. But other than that, great build.

rnifnuf · « **Reply #98 on:** July 28, 2014, 10:31:13 AM »

Necessary bump alert.

Curses! Foiled again by that meddling physics engine.

Armor is DSA.
This was a very irritating build. My goal was to build a HS/SnS hybrid with one Snapper. It took at least an hour of repeated snapper loading, more snapper loading, messing with different setups, incoherent rage, realizing that the drive system is out of alignment with the weapon system, exasperated groaning, etc. The result was a very powerful, very destructive machine... that is so ridiculously unstable that is almost unusable. Sometimes it havoks so badly that it destroys itself. It only does this around heavyweights for some odd reason.

Both weapon motors are wired to spin counter-clockwise. Annoyingly, the steering controls for the bot were reversed, but the forward/reverse controls are not. This game makes no sense whatsoever, but when has that been news?

ADVANTAGES:
+Fast
+Powerful
+Invertible
+Destructive
+Does long division

DISADVANTAGES:
-DHB (Definite Havoklear Bomb: Prone to bad havok explosions.)
-Poor handling when inverted

Thoughts?

Bubbleman · « **Reply #99 on:** July 28, 2014, 10:44:26 AM »

You may want to just use two anchors to attach the motors. Less havok, more sweep.
Good effort though.
