Good points, i'll go about fixxxing the bot now then.

Hammer bots need wide wedges and wide fronts, to trap bots while not flipping themselves over.

Much improved, Hook In Mouth 2:

2 Blacks and DSA, 8 razorz and 8 bear claws, more effective caster armour, and front capable of trapping spinners now.
The wedges are also MUCH better now (the ones on the first version were meh at best), in testing, neglected watterbug manages to flip itself over from going over the wedges so fast, which was quite funny to watch.

looks pretty cool but you might want to swap the top castors for smaller castors higher up.

K, done.

Still not a fan of the 5 DDTs...and you should at least eFFe those razors evenly! Otherwise it its not bad at all I would like to see how it holds up in combat. Hammers are always difficult.

Scorpion · « **Reply #106 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:04:19 PM »

My bad on the razorz.
I dunno about the DDT thing though, If I was to choose what to downgrade, it'd be the wedge DDTs, but with the wedges as good as they are, i'm skeptical if it'd be worth it?

I'll probably have another go at a hammer at some point, but for now, i'm making yet another pop up lol

Looks to me that you overloaded that vertical hammer weapon. 'Tis going to be slow.

Aforementioned Popup, inventively called One:

Overkill? Oh yeah. 28 Razorz, DSA and 2 stacked blacks.

NFX · « **Reply #109 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:56:22 PM »

Not too bad, I guess. Maybe too much weaponry. I'd probably lose some razors to try and get some protection on that vulnerable front.

Scorpion · « **Reply #110 on:** August 12, 2011, 02:42:41 PM »

Yeah, definately too much weaponry, that was kind of the point though ;P
I've got another idea for a much better rounded HW popup, but I'll probably wait a while to make that (I don't know why I love making popups so much in stock?).

MAYBE ? Hahahahahaha this is complete overkill.

Well... it could be worse? I could have just not bothered with the wedges ;P

NFX · « **Reply #113 on:** August 12, 2011, 03:26:02 PM »

It's a bit like R4 in that sense. So if the Wedges are good, then it should be somewhat alright.

Scorpion · « **Reply #114 on:** August 12, 2011, 04:01:15 PM »

They're not bad, not as wedgey as either reckoning day, but at least it gets under the ol' neglected waterbug.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #115 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:19:08 PM »

It's original. Screw the armor...

Idk how it does with those long wedges ( too long for a popup IMO ).... But extra rebuilding would have to occur to fix that.

Nice overall, potential OHKO machine...? ( hehe get it? I understood it's name...)

Scorpion · « **Reply #116 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:58:41 PM »

lol, well done ;P
I know the wedges stick out too much as well, the problem is that i'm running out of chassis points to move them further back.
I tried both wedges on 140's and wedges on 2 20 cm extenders, and the 140s performed best, so i've just stuck with them.

Scorpion · « **Reply #117 on:** August 14, 2011, 03:21:28 PM »

Backdraft:

DSA, 1 nifty, 3 casters

nightcracker · « **Reply #118 on:** August 14, 2011, 03:55:35 PM »

I like it, but change those maces for irons. You aren't going to be mashing away on components anyway, plus irons have more range. I assume ofcourse that you are spinning upwards, what you should.

Scorpion · « **Reply #119 on:** August 14, 2011, 04:01:07 PM »

Yeah it spins up, sadly though irons scrape the floor, so I can't use them
