Two purple batteries are way enough for 2 RADs.

Two pinks: imput +200
2 Rads: imput -160

One nifty: +400

Got this from Clickbeetle's site. But actually the nifty weights the same as 2 pinks, so...

YEA... This that Naryar say its true so...

go a 3 minute match with just rads and two pinks and you tell me what you think

Weirdly enough, I once powered a 4 hp ztek spinner with two pinks. It had Rad drive.
I still don't know how the

that worked.

Yeah, but you also gotta take into account the total power. Small battery packs have 7000 total electricity, and Nifties have 24000. Two SBPs have 14000 total, so they last just a little more than half as long as a Nifty. It's pretty much the bare minimum for a LW--it works fine, but after 3 minutes you'll be visibly slowing down.

That said, I think inf's bot is nicer. They're both great, but the fact that inf's weapons are more protected behind the casters while retracted and he has the more efficient space utilization makes it a little bit better I think.

Magic?

IMAO Sage gave away the possibility to win this round, because with a little bit moving the pinks forward and forming the back of the chassis just around the airtank, he would be able to put more weapons. II's bot is more compact, so he was able to use one component more, than Sage and still having the same number of weapons plus a bigger battery.
So I vote for Infinite's bot.

Naryar · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2008, 05:26:20 AM »

Well I didnt thinked of the total power. You guys have a point...

I was talking of that too, protected weapons. Did you stacked air tanks Inf? Because in 2 minutes of forced poking the air is depleted with your spear risking being inside and weapon harmless.. But it is nethertheless two very good designs.

even if sage moved his battery forwards, hed have to use more chassis points.

i think another challenge me and sage did was 2 MW DSL F.B.S. each, i'll get those up later.

Sage · « **Reply #30 on:** June 02, 2008, 09:42:14 PM »

so we didnt post the MW DSL FBS yet, but we have this HW VS we made. check it out. (already posted in my showcase)

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #31 on:** June 02, 2008, 09:47:58 PM »

and mineeee

GameKing3 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 02, 2008, 10:05:57 PM »

I vote Infin's bot because it seems it would be more effective and looks like it took alot of time.

Sage · « **Reply #33 on:** June 02, 2008, 10:43:35 PM »

remember people, his is only 2wd, if you cant see.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #34 on:** June 02, 2008, 10:51:07 PM »

since when does 4wd on a VS mean better?

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #35 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:08:45 AM »

Methinks sage's might be slightly better, but Inf's rips the crap out of it in looks. Win Infiniteinertia.

Naryar · « **Reply #36 on:** June 03, 2008, 01:55:03 AM »

Inf has a point. VS aren't supposed to be very fast. My MW VS with bursted HPZtek drive knows this...

Sage · « **Reply #37 on:** June 03, 2008, 06:34:16 PM »

i never meant to say 4wd is better, but you cant really see from those pics. didnt want you thinking his was 4wd too.
i vote for inf here too, just fyi.

kill343gs · « **Reply #38 on:** June 03, 2008, 08:06:41 PM »

Inf's. Looks better protected, better built, and more stable.

Cooker · « **Reply #39 on:** June 04, 2008, 07:19:24 AM »

I think this round goes to Infinite. However I like the extender works of Sage too.
