To you!

Uhhhh....

Final Destination with 6wd. No where near as good as the 4wd version, but I thought i would give it a try. Doesn't deserve a cool splash. 3 blacks.

This was really fun and challenging to design and build, but it just doesn't perform very well. 2 blacks, 796.9. Wobbles a bit.

That Vs looks good, too bad it's not good.

You're really starting to earn my respect for trying out new designs in stock, one of the few people left who do so.

Cool bot. How many spikes is that?

8 spikes, 8 razors.

Hey wow, I was seriously just working on a mw bot very similar to that... but none of the attached wedges/weapons extended from the front like that. Very nifty idea. I was thinking though... could you somehow angle it so that the discs would shoot upward? I can only imagine that it would spell certain death if the discs were spinning up high and then retracted when a bot is wedge-scooped below. Instead of firing the weapon at the bot... let the weapon retract down onto the bot and grind away the commonly exposed topside.

Kind of like That darn dustpan?

Naryar · « **Reply #272 on:** April 29, 2009, 08:24:22 AM »

nothing like TDD. TDD uses a servo and a saw. More like Clockwork Hydra.

anyways i like it.

Really pissed at this one. It looks great, but is a little buggy. It's not that buggy, but just enough to put it below par of what i want. Freaking hard to build too (I know it doesn't look like it, but i had to snapper load EVERYTHING you see, and in a specific order, and without going to the test garage once.)

I'm not without a few back up designs though. And by testing this i have learned a few things about FS.

Yeah I'm having troubles building mine too. Mostly because I can't decide with what I want on it. What's buggy about it though, it looks perfectly fine.

Well atleast it looks good, but I think the razors dont reach out enough.

I know what youre talking about, remember that 12WD rammer I posted some time ago? I had to do the same thing fot it too.

R1885 · « **Reply #276 on:** May 02, 2009, 07:24:55 PM »

I know how you feel Sage, my bot is built off one snapper, wedge, drive, weapons, snow plow.

they reach out above the plow, and the razors hit the bottom of the other bot. so they dont need to reach forward.

as for why it's buggy, i don't know. It doesn't turn left while going forwards (but will turn left when stopped). It's just a little jumpy too. Not stable enough.

Oh, i forgot to mention, the srimech works perfectly, which is another reason im pissed the other aspects don't work.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #278 on:** May 04, 2009, 09:00:31 PM »

Another otherwise great bot ruined by chronic instability...

Going back to the 6WD Final Destination, could you perhaps give it just one hammer, along the lines of my bot Cheshire Cat? You could fit more total razors on the weapon, and also have a bit of extra weight for armor. It would be cool to see a 6WD hammer bot that was effective.

Sage · « **Reply #279 on:** May 12, 2009, 07:24:44 PM »

@ Click- That's a fine idea. I might try it later.

Just kinda felt like building an HS. 799.7, DSA, 36 maces, 2 blacks, 1 more mace for front protection, one lawn mower blade for front protection.
