Any hybrid ideas?

PISTON SPINNER
....Please?

A trinity spinner? That's what happens when you spin pistons, J... :P

disc on an axle powered by the thrust of pistons ? :P

Uh, you mean a pneumatic powered spinner ?

Imma try. And probably fail.

Edit: Heh, it works, but badly. It accelerates very fast as long as the piston is firing out, then decelerates insanely fast and spins at roughly 20 rpm. Fail.

stupidly amusing though :P

Raze is very good but I tend to vote more for originality in BOTM, and there were quite a few original bots this time around.

And yay for olden-days RA2 in Electron. Nice work with the chassis. (PROTIP: Z-teks are hexagonal, so you can put them in a sloped side of the chassis for almost the same weight as a flat-sided chassis, provided the slope is at a 60 degree angle.)

Not the kid of spinner I was talking about.

Trinnity Spinners are the best. They can do somewhere around 1,000 to 3,000 damage.
But the trick to them, is that they can only last for about 20 seconds. Because, well, the piston effectively kills the robot.
Its hilarious nonetheless.

Clockwork Hydra is a VS thats on pistons O,o

Indeed piston spinners are.

I'm very excited about this post :)

Alright, to start off, I redid Tiny Trinity's weapons so as to make it the new Flame Chopper; check it out:

This thing beats some (mediocre) HWs. Amazing.

Next, I took Hell Hammer and replaced the sledge hammers with razors, which gave me weight for rubbers:

Performs admirably. 4 bursted DDT's with 3 razors packs a lot of punch.

And finally, the bot I spent an unseemly amount of time on (like, I'm posting this at 2:45 AM and I built the first prototype at like 11AM yesterday...)

Enjoy the remake of Tornado!

Plastic is the only downside. Yes, that axle is exo-stacked (that alone took me 2 hours to get perfect) and the chassis is more airtight than anything I've ever built (notice the weight... >.>). 18 Maces. No havok (cause the drive is mounted on the baseplate). Castor armor.

Also, axles are bitches.

Rate and comment :)

Awesome Tornado Rebuild is Awesome

that new Tornado...

*head explodes from too much awesomeness*

I also like Hell Hammer's edit.

I thought you were going to send stuff for my 256 bot tourney?

Naryar · « **Reply #812 on:** January 24, 2011, 07:17:30 AM »

What is the point of the axle exactly ? I see no extender work coming out from it. Caster-like armor ? Improving torque and maxspeed of the motors by some strange quirk of RA2 ?

Oh you DSL noob! The Axle is snapperloaded from the axle mount when I attached the nifty. Attached to that axle is a 20cm on which the two motors are attached. The 20cm goes through the nifty. That's why you can't see it :P

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #815 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:33:09 PM »

Wait, how are two motors attached to one 20 cm extender?

Sage · « **Reply #816 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:36:03 PM »

Oops, I meant theres a 20cm coming off of it where one motor is attached (the one facing up) and then another 20cm attached to it that hold the motor facing down. But technically both motors are attached to the first 20cm, even if there's another extender.

G.K. · « **Reply #817 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:38:44 PM »

I think I get it.

Is it like this?:

_{HPZ}
_{HPZ}_

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #818 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:39:35 PM »

@G.K. Wat?@ Sage OK, much easier to understand now.

NFX · « **Reply #819 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:40:48 PM »

I think it's

(HPZ)<-v
(HPZ)<-^>(Axle)

The new Tornado looks unbelievable. I have got to try the axle thing you do.
