For those Z-Teks, you can save weight by having two BA's in the chassis with the Z's on

The plows are killing this thing's reach.

Possible Super Smash Bots entry.

Underweight but can beat a lot of SCv3 heavyweights including Neglected Waterbug.

DSA rest you can see.

I don't think you understand. It HAS to be within 15 KG of the weight limit or I won't accept it.

Try getting another piston with weapons on there.

Or, instead of a plow, make a wamming rack or something.

Naryar · « **Reply #806 on:** April 27, 2014, 09:58:16 AM »

1 additional piston, and use large air tanks really

In order to celebrate the changing of the avatar I have improved my bot.

I know ballasts but it improves its wedgeiness slightly.

Also the idea of the bot is to be a wedge-killing poker.

Any thoughts?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #808 on:** April 28, 2014, 05:07:59 PM »

It's better, but you can replace the angle connecters with 20cms and angle the pistons using the side points.

RpJk · « **Reply #809 on:** April 29, 2014, 03:41:15 PM »

Still got a ballast but its changed now into a Popup/Poker hybrid.
Changed name to something not Final Fantasy related, the Maori god of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Any thoughts people?

DP Anything?

Razors work better than irons on popups and if I'm seeing it right your popup weapons are pushing your opponents away from your pokers.

Naryar · « **Reply #812 on:** April 30, 2014, 03:10:34 PM »

axe version was better.

and it's not only the ballast, angling them downward was a wrong move for gutripping

090901 · « **Reply #813 on:** April 30, 2014, 04:32:57 PM »

wait so do you only have 6 irons on this thing now?
the popup part is pretty much useless and your poker weapons should be parallel to the chassis or angled upwards slightly, not downwards as bots can just ride over the top of it now

Named after the Mainliest Colossus from SotC, I introduce you to Barba:

DSA rest you can see.

Also for some unknown reason when it uses shinies or grannies its wheels doesn't touch the ground but it does with rubber wheels which is weird.

Also 1500th post!
You know whats coming.

KOS · « **Reply #815 on:** May 11, 2014, 05:10:01 PM »

I think the reason it won't move with Shinies is because the z-teks aren't flush against the ground, try rotating them so they are parallel to the ground. Also you have the weight to upgrade to HPZ's :)

Now named after the smallest colossi, here is Celosia:

DSA, rest you can see.

Got inspired by FB's Ironbot entry to bulid this.

I'm still a crap builder after 3 years. Funny.

You are wasting so much weight by putting the wedge at the back and using a DDT for a wedge. Switch the DDT for a blue snapper and then switch the places of the snapper and the black.

Pwnator · « **Reply #818 on:** May 21, 2014, 09:30:32 PM »

You could probably do 5-6 sets rather than 4 if you ditched the DDT+black for a Snapper2+Nifty (axle loaded nifty ofc). But yeah, you're on the right track.

Naryar · « **Reply #819 on:** May 23, 2014, 07:12:38 AM »

it looks pretty cool :D

but yes, what 090909 and Pwnie said
