Vertical Uprising looks REALLY nice.
And I take it the long wedges are somewhat of a 'trap' gimmick, as they keep robots pinned on it(or something), right? O,o

[NFX]

Apparently long wedges are better than short ones, I'm guessing it's something to do with the angle, but I've never really liked long wedges, personally.

[Pwnator]

Not all long wedges are better than short ones. It's always about the weight distro.

[Somebody]

I used them because I didn't have much weight left (those the 140cm Square extenders), so they make a nice long wedge. They are SO FREAKING WEAK though.

Wedges don't seem to be terrible, but aren't great. There is also a 10kg ballast in the front. Anybody got any ideas for 10kg for this bot?

@MassimoV: You don't have to be too nice to people. Just stay on the site and don't be a complete idiot/know-it-all/jerk/n00b and you'll be fine.

If the plow isn't static, you could probably attach an iron on the topmost AP on the extender holding the plow to protect the motors.

[Somebody]

Well the plow is Static, but you just gave me an idea :D

[Naryar]

I would replace these side irons by maces, 1 - the collision mesh is better for protection, 2 - they have more concussion so they return more damage to other weapons, so are better for defense.

[Cheese please]

does it bounce?

[Somebody]

It is actually perfectly stable.

@Nary: I'll try that idea after dinner.

[Somebody]

Can I get some generic hammer tips plz?

[Pwnator]

If you want generic ones, clone Sage's hammers. If not, clone Click's. :P

Lies. There were no "generic" hammers before I made mine, cause they all sucked.


@Somebody- You want to trap the opponent, so a flat front is not advised. Try a V shaped chassis or a \_/ shape with plows. You don't need a lot of weapons because the hammer is really heavy, so you want it to move fast. I usually use 3 or 4 razors. They do plenty of damage. 4WD is recommended. A srimech really isn't needed as long as you can make it stable enough not to flip itself over.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks

Ingor and Fallout were good :P

[Somebody]

DSA
2 Blacks
2 RADS
7 Razor Tips
All 4 HPZs attached with a total of 2 extenders.
DDTs on same Snapper IIs as HPZs.
Front Snappers originally had 3 plows per arm, but weight restrictions dropped it to 1 per arm.

Tentative BTTB 3 bot.

[Badnik96]

The square extenders make it look cool :D

[NFX]

That reminds me of a dentist's chair for some reason. It looks quite good for the bot you had to build, though. Excellent setup too, as always.

[GoldenFox93]

Reminds me of Dead Metal from Series 2 of Robot Wars  :P

[J]

Whats with the 'Tail'?

That reminds me of a dentist's chair

This

[Somebody]

Lol a bad version of Dead Metal and a Dentist's Chair. Look out competition!
