Naryar · « **Reply #203 on:** February 27, 2009, 11:50:53 AM »

You built that one in a rush, eh?

System32 · « **Reply #204 on:** February 27, 2009, 03:08:00 PM »

I knew it was a Crawler/SnS hybrid! Otherwise it may not be able to move far.

Naryar · « **Reply #205 on:** February 27, 2009, 03:57:35 PM »

That's not a SnS.

System32 · « **Reply #206 on:** February 27, 2009, 04:00:49 PM »

Well it isn't a thwacker!

Naryar · « **Reply #207 on:** February 27, 2009, 04:20:37 PM »

Agreed. It's just a crawler...

System32 · « **Reply #208 on:** February 27, 2009, 04:29:25 PM »

That's main form of attack is not driving directly over the opposition, but dancing in a circle while waiting for said opponent to attack, like a SnS?

Somebody · « **Reply #209 on:** February 27, 2009, 05:45:44 PM »

But it is different from the norm for SnSs. It should have a new class for it.

Condor33 · « **Reply #210 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:42:48 AM »

Sit-n-Crawler?

Pwnator · « **Reply #211 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:52:33 AM »

Or Crawl-n-Spinner? XD

System32 · « **Reply #212 on:** February 28, 2009, 09:35:55 AM »

I think is should be a subclass of the Crawler design, as that is the main basis for it. I suggest a Dancing Crawler.

(Hey, with all these subclasses, We should to a family tree of bot types.)

Urjak · « **Reply #213 on:** February 28, 2009, 10:58:42 AM »

Yes maybe... but it is hard to trully trace the origin of bot types.

Naryar · « **Reply #214 on:** February 28, 2009, 11:26:24 AM »

You guys are just overdoing it... There is no point dancing in circles intentionally with that design. Just a 2WD crawler (2 weapon drive crawler)

Now that's a good idea.

Sage · « **Reply #215 on:** February 28, 2009, 11:31:52 AM »

That's the most comments i've had on a bot in a long time...

I'd just call it a Dancer.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #216 on:** March 01, 2009, 02:29:48 AM »

I believe designs like those were referred to as "bumble balls" or something a while back.

System32 · « **Reply #217 on:** March 01, 2009, 07:14:57 AM »

No, Bumble balls have stationary weapons and an extender on a motor, making it bump about the arena. It's basically a bot that maulers everywhere.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #218 on:** March 01, 2009, 03:44:39 PM »

I would have never expected that bot to beat Fury with such an exposed chassis and motors. It spins pretty fast for a crawler.

And 20 iron spikes plus 2 razors on a MW.... that would even be good on a rammer.

You may want to make a new version after BOTM with a square chassis, and put the Z-teks on the baseplate, so it's harder to knock off one whole side of your weapon at once. The discs are less vulnerable than the motors.

Out of curiosity, what were your other 2 bots that failed because one couldn't drive and the other AGOD'd?

Sage · « **Reply #219 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:05:09 PM »

Power- 2 Black Batteries, 40 iron spikes, 8 Razors.

Attack- 1 Black Battery, 48 Iron Spikes all facing downward., 1 Castor on bottom.

Defense- 1 Black Battery, 48 Iron Spikes (32 downward, 16 facing outwards for defense)

All have controlled movement, as shown here:
