There was somebody who posted that on youtube and a person commented how Nar's bot failed sooooo much.

Looks like it may have issues with invertibility...

Must have used the axle loading glitch for the drive (something I need to work on)
Looks nice, I assume it is MW, I wish I knew how the drive is mounted.

Axle loading is different than snapper loading. I was pretty tricky with the drive :P I'll show the setup when i can make it invertible.

And kill, i haven't tested it, but you're probably right. I have an idea though.

It's a MW, 398.8

And I finished it at 1AM :D

Why do your parents even allow you up at 1 AM...

CLONE :P

Looks like you have a better weapon rack though

Not my bot BTW.

very similar^ there are a couple changes though, like having the battery in the front, the motors don't stick out of the plow...

Usually they don't. I was sneaky.

As for the clone thing, O: !!

It's not a clone if I didn't know about that bot :P

there are countless designs like that.

But mines the best. :D

anyways, heres another version of it.

DSA. 2 plows.

and the setup. Still hard to figure out even with the picture. Theres a 20 cm inside of another.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #412 on:** October 25, 2009, 11:21:20 PM »

ok I get it, but don't get how you placed the T-connecter inside the snapper

Naryar · « **Reply #413 on:** October 26, 2009, 02:47:10 AM »

I never liked the inwards-spinning HS - might do for some Starcore VS Trovaner in Team Tag Contest..

Powl. =))

Never tried a setup like this before, it looks quite nice. :D

@Duck - hardcore snapper loading. \m/

That match was actually closer than it seemed... In the first battle, my tribar was broken off after Fury randomly bounced off the ground. Then in the second battle, my motor was broken off when Fury jumped again while trying to drive toward the action... The third battle was really close but Fury and Death Warrant performed the most friendly fire to each other (mostly dealing damage to each others weapons). If I can remember correctly, when I tested my bot against replicas of Fury and Death Warrent one on one, my bot won a majority of the time but it was always close and rarely was my tribar or motor ripped off before the weapons. I might have defeated Fury if not for the fact that I turned too fast with only one weapon arm left... Nothing to complain about though because I knew we were going to lose overall.

Anyways, in regards to 1AM:
1. Mount the snapper on its side so that it takes up less room (your not using the attachment point on top anyways so it won't impact your current setup)
2. The rounded weapon rack in the front looks like it could be done better. The way it is now, a maximum of two weapons (on the rack) can hit at the same time which is good in real life (less weapon surface area = more puncture) but bad in RA2 due to the way damage is calculated (more weapons = more damage). IMO, even changing the pole spikes to razors would be better than the current setup... Although in my head, I think using 4 maces would work best in the front and possibly 2 razors on the sides (even though, I don't think you can get the razors to stick out of the plow unless the weight gained from suggestion 1 is enough)
3. Nice setup... although, I wouldn't call it the best...

Sage · « **Reply #416 on:** October 26, 2009, 09:23:30 PM »

it wont save that much weight... maybe 1 kg, max 2. Not enough for impact. It will also be much more difficult to build.

too bad you're good at difficult :)

Sage · « **Reply #418 on:** October 26, 2009, 10:33:02 PM »

Damn it. Now I have to build it. I hate you Kill.

Pulse 1

Quote from: pyscolone;58849

Possible upgrades? Take off all the frontal armor, engineer a way for 4 battle axes to protect the front, and alittle to the sides. Than switch the Snapper2s for DDTs

That\'s a 1-hit KO against Diamond 4.

Insides are basically same as Pulse 1.

IMPROVEMENTS-

Pushed the weapon DDTs forward, making a bigger hit.
Armor better protects middle and looks cooler. Holds bot up better for a cleaner hit.
Switched the Snapper2 wedges for DDT wedges, making them better. Also allows it to self-right now.
Battle axes are slightly inside the wedge extenders, so bots with wedges slide up easier.
Rotated razors to protect extenders better.

Probably my favorite bot I have built. :D
