9 irons
1 ramplate
2 HPZ's
1 nifty
DSA

Tried to make a LW SNS ballanced by weapon and drive on oposite sides and off one base anchor. It works decently untill its battery dies. :P

Interesting.... How does it do in battle?

SKBT · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2010, 03:51:38 PM »

It's surprisingly stable and outweapons some HS's. It works the best against slow popups and HS's because anything that is fast enough to stop its spinning will win.

Looks good. Now we have two people that still build very interesting lightweight designs. :)

Ramplate is useless. Replace with razors or something.

I agree. Use a pattern kind of like T-Road, with some spikes tilted up and some down. Switch to shinies, and also remove that random extender (unless it has an unforseen purpose). If you need extra extenders for weapons, move the weapon extender to be the first one coming off of the baseplate connector to get another extender. I would also recommend maces for better HS beating.

From one dumb idea to another!

HS's love to eat the motors and popups tend to knock it over.

Big chasis is because I was trying ideas and wanted a lot of space to move things around and I haven't built a refined version of it yet.

That ain't bad. Mome Rath uses a similar setup. :D

The only 'dumb' thing you did was the way you bursted your motors. You wouldn't want your weapons to wobble everytime you turn or hit something. Instead of having your snapper's arm oriented sideways, have it face the front so the hidden AP faces the side. That's where you should attach your weapon motors to minimize wobbling. :D

See Mome Rath... the best way to do that design is with wheels in the back, and something like plows in the front, or ramming spikes if you want it to last against HS's. If it's too tippy you can either give it smaller-diameter weapons and lower it, or make it longer.

Might as well claim my entry since BOTM is over.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #30 on:** September 04, 2010, 04:49:53 PM »

I like the recipe splash. I thought of my previous BOTM entry Recipe for Disaster when I saw that.

Is the plow really doing much good, or would it be better with more razors? Or perhaps upgrade to maces. I found that on BWAHTAICU, the hammer extenders often broke off when I used 4 razors. But with 2 maces and 1 razor, it very rarely breaks.

Is this close enough to a drum?

Reminds me of Swamp Demon. And yeah, that looks like a drum.

I sure hope those Irons aren't touching the ground.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #35 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:13:21 AM »

does that drive straight? Pretty sure I tried the same exact setup and it did not.

trololol. =P Interesting setup. A bit like the Stock version of Rage III.

The Ounce · « **Reply #38 on:** September 01, 2011, 04:37:52 PM »

I'm pretty sure Pwn made a 3WD MW rammer in stock a while back, but I don't remember him mentioning if it drove straight.

Anyway, I really don't like the weapon setup. If possible I would lower the baseplate anchor and stagger the weapon extenders so that some are pointing straight while others are angled slightly upwards.

You mean this?

It was pretty much just a showcase of my awesome staxx0rz, but that's about it. Never bothered to AI it though, so I don't know if it can actually turn like it was supposed to.
