powerrave's briefcase

[powerrave]

well.. i have tried stuff with the exact rebuild of the chassis and... it is mainly just a good looking chassis but not practical. might try and use the chassis in DSL if i feel like it. recently made a new LW in DSL that i now plan on entering BBEANS6 because it is way more effective then what i first had. and first i didn't know about multi extender and the ants.

anyway, here is what i could still make of it. i am not proud of it.

i just had to do this. call me insane but at least i have a bit of ramming speed.

i just made this for kicks, nothing serious (for now).

8WD rammer has been done a couple times, but I haven't seen an 8WD poker before.


Tip: rotate the Z-teks so the flat side is flush with the floor instead of the pointy side.  That will let you use shiny hub wheels, which will get you a whole 48 more kgs to work with.

some extra weight is always good, more spikes and maybe some back protection. i'm also planning to use one angler on each side for 3 wheels on each side, this might give me slightly more weight to use as well and hopefully make this bot more stable. will be trying different things.

[Jonzu95]

Powerrave, I believe that this is yours...

[powerrave]

that's right.

first bot i ever entered in a tournament. and it's the original micro vulcan. you probably got that from the BBEANS3 splash.

[Jonzu95]

Correct.

[powerrave]

decided to show this. seen in the BTTB splash. and this is a POPUP! NOT a wammer or whatever.



didn't know what to do with the other weight.

[Sage]

too much weight on the DDTs for popup. with the weight add more batteries. you'll need max power of those DDTs to fire that weapon rack.

[Clickbeetle]

I would be worried about those extenders holding on the ram plates... one unfortunate hit from an HS and your armor could be ruined.


The bot does look cool though.  Is the top spike rack static, and the bottom one fires like a popup?  That's an interesting setup... kinda like a wammer/popup hybrid.  Wonder why no one's done that before.

[The Ounce]

Neither of them are static and the design actually has been done before (Big Love in NAR AI).

You're probably right about the armor extenders though.

[G.K.]

The top is static.

[The Ounce]

Ah I see.  I didn't realize the other DDT was for the wedges.

[powerrave]

newer version:

2 battery's now. don't notice much difference.

[Clickbeetle]

Hmm, I don't like the spike rack angled so far forward.  As it is, the design will trap bots and the weapon will work more like a short hammer than a popup... which could work with 8 iron spikes, but I think it would be better if it could hit the bottom of bots.  Also you can get by with shiny hub wheels to save weight.


Still a cool design and skin though.

I personally really like the bot, but the wheel choice could have been better.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

The front rack is static right?

i had trouble with positioning the extenders for it, and for some reason i wanted it to work like a scoop, but, it's not working toooooo well.

what wheels would you suggest? shiny's?

The front rack is static right?

yes.

[Naryar]

How does this resembles Big Love apart from having a heavy burst weapon and a static rack ?
