Nice LW Sacrifice clone, looks like it might be better since it has a wedge. IDK tho, theres a reason click went with more drive instead of a wedge. I think it would have a hard time getting under bots without pushing them away.

Very nice setup. I'm quite worried about the top part, however. When HSes go up, they'll hit the top part (unless your chassis is shallow enough, but this is not the case). But you can't do much about that with the weight constraint. :D

Oh, and it reminded me of this one:

But yours looks like it has a better wedge. :D

Ooh I like the chassis setup. Very slick and efficient, and no external motors!

Though you're going to have battery issues, and drive issues, and the casters also need to be thicker in order to effectively repel HS's (at least 15cm height).

Still a cool bot, does a good job of not being a clone.

Improved Il Pleut:

Now called Il Pleut Beaucoup
It now has 3 extra razors, and is still invertible but is less maneuverable.

Make them spin inwards, not outwards.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #185 on:** July 09, 2010, 12:50:33 PM »

OK, I will.
Can you explain why?

Sage · « **Reply #186 on:** July 09, 2010, 01:10:44 PM »

Because you have more damage potential that way. You can smash them up instead of pushing them away, especially with your weapon setup. The weapons on the inside are not helping at all if you spin outwards.

How is my extender work? What can I do better?

Sage · « **Reply #188 on:** July 09, 2010, 01:16:47 PM »

Let's see. I personally don't like T connectors, they waste weight. But for this setup, it seems to work. I don't know what you could do with the extra kgs anyways. Is the plow attached directly to the snapper?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #189 on:** July 09, 2010, 01:17:31 PM »

Yes, that bit took ages of repositioning.

Sage · « **Reply #190 on:** July 09, 2010, 01:19:51 PM »

Nice. I can't see much in ways of improving it then. Cool.

Does the plow kind of lean upwards when inverted, or is everything perfectly leveled? If so, then try turning the RADS around so the wheels are further in.

Dammit, I just cloned ULTIMATUM with 8kg less extender work but now it is corrupt.

Sage · « **Reply #194 on:** August 19, 2010, 10:50:54 PM »

8kg less extender? *looks at ULTIMATUM* so you only used 2 20cms? That's not cloning, that's a new bot :) Do you mean you used the same chassis setup?

EDIT: and ULTIMATUM was built before I knew how to snapper load.

Same chassis setup, I think it's just as air tight. I had it all done and needed to stack one more black in to finish it of then it started crashing my game.

Simple setup: Drive on normal snapper attach point

20cm attached on the circular attach point when the normal point was loaded away a bit. This meant it loaded off when
the normal point returned to its place and so didn't get in the way. Then I EFFE'd the motors on.

Was going to have 2 stacked blacks + CB

I know, you probably learned that technique from my video :)
