Pending Starcore's approval, you can all face it. It isn't really meant to win that much, just because it is something different.

SSG: I use the Octagon and Combat arena equally.

Somebody: Any other SCv4 bots?

I'm thinking of posting my possible team. Possible because I think they might not be good enough.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

I have another but it is still being tweaked a bit. It is the sequel to Atomic (AKA Atomic 2 (AKA a piston rammer))

That reminded me of one of my best early bots, NUKE(lava paint all over and nucelar decals) it had 12 pistons wiht 1 iron on each :D
I later on upgraded it but guess what? The upgraded one was the weaker one, even if the weapon setup was similiar to Spearhead. I removed long ago, might aswell have another go at it.

I might have one or two. Starcore said that he probably had enough HSs though so I am trying to stay away from them.

Atomic 3 is completed!



Battleshots!

3-2-1 Blastoff!


1337 Speek 2.0


Clockwork Hydra


Now for what I mentioned about Atomic:


Its better than I thought. First Try. In further testing though, the main downfall of Atomic is slow turning, which allows 321 to flank it.

Atomic 3 looks much nicer, and a lot more compact. How does it fair against HSs?
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I am going with the skin of Atomic, and variations of it because Atomic started that with me, and its skin is the red plastic skin with the notches and Radiation decals.

And it fares okay against HS, but definetly isn't an HS killer.

Effective Piston rammers that do not have wedges or armor need 6WD to compete at the heavyweight level.

I will see if I can add a wedge. I have an idea for where it could go.

Perfectly invertible
Not a clue what to do with the extra weight (Weighs a bit over 786)

Nothing special, especially since you can't do anything with the weight. Is it not invertible with shinies?
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

hmm mabe you can put the weapons so they are lined up like oo3. you probly have to get rid of the grannies and try to squeeze the chassis more.

For once the mods did something right

It is invertible with shinies, just very inconsistent (sometimes it drives, sometimes it just spins in circles when upside down). My first idea for the weight was popup casters, which worked, but not enough and it made the bot tip badly.
