2 RADs can chew up HW chassis? o_O

I sense a hybrid revival right now. Kewl.

Well sorta. They definitely damage it and the pokers go in for the kill. Bot's pretty much worthless against HS though. Shame. My next bot will do better against them (already planning it :D)

And yea. If I ever have a lot of free weight on a popup or something I'll add those two RAD spinners.

Deicide = act of killing a god. thought it was a cool word.

Anything to revitalize Stock (though it's getting better recently) >.>

Cool looking bot, but I've never been too fond of pokers. And I have no idea what the name on the splash says xD


Stock is still the best, DSL is corrupt so idk what youre talking about...

Only real men like stock better than DSL.  :gawe:
 
but this forum is so full of dsl lovers that stock bots hardly get any comments anymore.
 
 
Very cool bot btw, sage.

Nice rammer/poker/HS hybrid... never thought I'd see that combo be effective.


I'd like to see that popup/HS hybrid.... has anyone ever made an effective popup hybrid before?


Edit: Oh right Pwn's popup/VS that he just posted.

Thought I would take the undercutting RADS a step further. I have to redo one of the motors because the tribar collision went weird and pushes the bot up a bit every time it spins around, so no testing as of now. I'm guessing it will be fairly good though. I know it looks a little messy but i couldn't get the tribars all the same direction and the drive motors would AGOD in any other position.

799.7, DSA, 8 RADs, 2 Blacks, and 17 casters (i think)

Enjoy :)


P.S. I thought you guys would enjoy seeing my new granny wheel skin... ;)

<33333 (especially the wheel skin... Could you send it to me for my skin pack, please?)

How well do you think it will stand up to wedges?

I decided to go with caster armor instead of wedges, so that should help a little. Also, the razors are very close to the ground, meaning they will eat a popups weapons and such (at least that's the plan)

No no, that's for MY skin pack! But you can do something similar. I just found a cool wheel on google images, cut out the hub, and then found a better tire tread to use that matched the hub better.

looks very nice, i would have thought a plow would have provided more protection in the middle and help against hammers.

Plows have low HP + destroy invertibility + hard to fit.

Ewww why use Reventon's rims for round-edged tires. X_X

And speaking of undercutting HSes, I just realized ReaXioN is very underweight. XD

Looks cool enough, but I don't like it. I tried something similar and did not get great results sans wedges.

Stock is still the best, DSL is corrupt so idk what youre talking about...

Problem is, there are increasingly few of us who think that way.

There are about 40 weapons, and quite a few of you DSLfags only use 2. Yes, 2 weapons.
 
I even have a quote.

Don't hate! Those look 100x better than the Granywheels, with their stupid gray color and no hub.
