@ ROBOSH4RK: thanks for thinking that. it did own the old one. but i have a big problem right now with my Ra2. suddenly, it wont let me do anything without my disc, which i haven't used in a YEAR. i don't even think i have it anymore. i tried reapplying the 1.3 patch (didn't help) and such. so, no battleshots for now, and this might be my last bot for a while. but in most of the fights, the extenders didn't break. they might look exposed, but the maces have a weird collision mesh that makes them larger than they appear.

@Naryar: ??? first you ask how i did it, then you explain it. if you mean how i got the extenders on, i put them on first then axle glitched them outta the way so i could put the red snapper in for the weapon motors. not that difficult if you get the hang of it.

O for... lets see... Oblivion, Oppression, Obscure, Occultist, Odious... there are plenty...

I'm trying to figure out that snapper loading glitch... but looks pretty messed up.

EDIT: it is indeed messed up. I give up.

I don't know if M for Macerate is an "upgraded" Rabid Pit Bull. It looks pretty much the same, just with an extra top plow and wedgy weapons, but without the nice V shape for trapping spinners.

N for Narcissism ("Narcissism" has 3 s's, by the way) looks great. Reminds me of a certain bot in Pyscolone's AI pack, but I think that one had stacked weapon motors. Yours has more weapons. Nice stacking job.

it was never meant to be an upgraded pitbull. i was just trying out the snapper loading glitch on things other than HS. speaking of snapper loading...

if anyone remembers, i built a full hs with only one snapper a while back in my old showcase. it was ugly. really ugly. so i tried again. nightmare trying to get the drive symmetrical, but it worked out in the end.

i give 10 bucks to the person who figures out the setup.

My god sage... I'm not even gonna try. I can only assume that thats one sh!tload of snapper and eFFe glitching on there. It's...uhh...nice?

Venko · « **Reply #45 on:** June 16, 2008, 04:45:17 AM »

I have something old like that but better...
Anyway you will see it soon after some rebuilding to get even better

...
Its called "Uber spin" and its amazing...A big PROUD for me... I will submit it for S4 in my spiner team...

it was really just a test of how well i could make it with one snapper. its kinda asymmetrical, but it very, very good in combat. it beat my ULTIMATUM every time cept a couple where either we both lost a wheel, or i lost both wheels. (ULTIMATUM was AI)

its not that hard if you look at the basics of a HS. to get double or triple spikes, you can only have one extender connecting the motor to the snapper. with that clue, see if you can get it. i understand if the drive is perplexing though.

to venko: your bot might (possibly, however much i doubt it) be better, but is it built with one snapper? that was my goal. i know AC could probably beat it, but... you get the idea.

Naryar · « **Reply #47 on:** June 16, 2008, 09:01:31 AM »

Nope. Venko's amazing-very-unique-bot-that-wins-vs-100%-starcore has two snappers.

Venko · « **Reply #48 on:** June 16, 2008, 01:24:51 PM »

Yes but have 2 hpztecs for drive and 10 hpztecs stacked in just one for weapons, and they hit at the same time... :)

how do they hit at the same time. on a tribar only 1/3 hit at one time, so only 1/3 of your weapons will. and with 10 hpz, must be razors, which will be torn apart by my spikes and maces.

Venko · « **Reply #50 on:** June 16, 2008, 05:53:32 PM »

Hahahaha... You have tribars too. They hit 1/3 too...

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #51 on:** June 17, 2008, 12:44:32 AM »

I think I got the setup!

Black rectangle = 20cm extender
Green = connection point
Red Circle = HPZtek for weapon
Red rounded rectangles = HPZtek for drive
Dark Grey = wheels
Blue+Grey = Snapper

Did I get it right?

Sage · « **Reply #52 on:** June 17, 2008, 10:10:37 AM »

WOW! that could be the setup. it weighs less then mine. that one is probably better. but mine is different. your way might not be symmetrical actually, the way my snapper is positioned. you got everything but the drive.

mine has a 20cm on its side connecting to the only open connection point (the one on the 20cm with the 2 HPZs facing inward) and then another 20cm sideways attached to that, which points backward into the snapper. off that oone i have a T connector on which both drive motors are on.

yours is 5 kgs lighter, but the left motor is too far right.

I remember seeing those 1 snapper bots. I liked the really ugly one with slim wheels.

On the bot itself is it 3 maces or 2?

but he didn't get it perfectly. so he doesn't get 10 bucks.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #57 on:** June 18, 2008, 07:07:33 PM »

I think I should get at least 5 for that ... :P

man manu · « **Reply #58 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:52:26 AM »

i think i should get the other 5 because i'm cool

Sage · « **Reply #59 on:** June 20, 2008, 09:20:58 AM »

i saw infiniteinertia's video, and tried to make the chassis even smaller for the CB. i did, and then i tried stacking the nifty, which i got too. so then i tried putting an anchor in, and low and behold, i got that too. i tried to make a bot out of it, and i have one more after this.
