Well it took runner up in BTTB so its pretty good.

Definitely surprised me when it did though. Nearly won the whole damn thing.

oh I thought this was a new version of that robot XD I should have watched more BTTB

Somebody · « **Reply #382 on:** July 24, 2010, 09:30:00 AM »

Nope just felt like posting that one XD

You say you can build but I haven't seen much more progress since I've disappeared. I would like to see what you're current skill is, however.

Somebody · « **Reply #384 on:** August 01, 2010, 08:46:30 AM »

OK Then. I've gotten much better at DSL at least (but you don't wanna hear that

)

What do you think I should build, I am taking suggestions.

VS is one of them most challenging designs to get right. You could try one of those.

better yet how about a SnS VS hybrid!

Somebody · « **Reply #387 on:** August 01, 2010, 07:47:40 PM »

OK I will try a VS.

@ianh05: No. Just no...

Edit: Oh god I need a few tips...

Maybe a VS is the way to go to get back into building.... I used to be pretty good at those back in the day.

Tip: Don't put the wedge and weapon motors off of the same burst motor. That causes the wedges to flop around like crazy.

Good to know.. I actually have an ide that I am willing to try. Kind of a mix between R4 and Hunter-Killer Tank XD

Finally got around to building the VS. Turned out to be a chained VS. The small discs give it a quick spin-up time, and it has sent bots to the ceiling of the Combat Zone. Good at gut-ripping... until its winning and then the motors both catastrophically fail by falling off nearly in tandem.

Excellent weapon setup. =D *stolen*

MassimoV · « **Reply #392 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:48:46 PM »

That's really interesting (in a good way

. Do the spikes coming off the side of the robot do any damage?

Somebody · « **Reply #393 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:52:55 PM »

I'm not sure. I hope so, but they are mostly there to protect the motors.

Don't see what the sticking out Iron Spikes are for. Remove them, and then, IDK, Repllace with Ice Picks?

MassimoV · « **Reply #395 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:01:20 PM »

I thought ice picks have normals.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #396 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:03:06 PM »

I don't know, that's all I could think of.

MassimoV · « **Reply #397 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:05:18 PM »

I do understand why you want them. They stickout into the front. Also, I just read your latest post Somebody, and I get your point of veiw.

Somebody · « **Reply #398 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:23:55 PM »

Ice picks=bad idea

MassimoV · « **Reply #399 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:28:47 PM »

That's what I thought too, but I'm trying to avoid conflict for the first few months.
