Back on topic?

Anyways Sage, these look so much cooler than you caster armored yellow-ish MW.

I remember fighting it online, and that was a mess...

this one is actually a crawler.

A really like ravaging sea urchin.

Suzaku · « **Reply #24 on:** December 18, 2008, 10:56:19 PM »

Too bad the urchin is completely useless since it gets immobilized in almost every match. It was fun to build and annoying to stack.

This is the white flag...

It's named the white flag because it does this...

So it... gives up, flies away, and gets counted out ?

Suzaku · « **Reply #27 on:** December 19, 2008, 08:35:27 AM »

actually it always teleports to the center bottom of the map at the beginning of each round.

Hmm well that sure is.... Cool :S

Ultimate Aegis Revived, I replaced the servos with light snappers, the snappers are stacked. The spike on top works as a self-righting tool, an extra weapon for when the bot is flipping through the air, and it protects the connectors that rarely ever get destroyed. The spike on the rear is intended to provide defense for the rear wheels and pitch control since the previous versions had a tendency to flip backwards after a hard hit, however an interesting discovery for me was that the spike actually functions as a vibrating weapon like a sonic cutter due to the wobbling generated by the motor. It actually works since if an enemy is behind me and the motors are spinning at full speed the vibrations of the spike actually do constant damage.

use one snapper and attach 2 motors that way.

The original re-vised version was trying to use the other motor's attachment point for some kind of forward defense, however I ran out of weight allowance...

Edit: Also I prefer the current motor set up over the two motors mounted to one snapper since the motor's weapons cover each other better and the lower weapons are just barely touching the ground, attaching a motor on the second mount point would make the motor touch the ground.

Spiral Star, a different take on Ultimate Aegis, works far better.

Also, Attack of the Rabid Amoeba vs Tommy Gun

COOL. I like the way the extenders are angled. Never knew you could have 2 motors on the same spot using only 1 snapper (Wait-- is it? Or are there 2?). :D

Amma clone Sea Urchin soon. XD

Glad to have ya back! Nice bot too.

Suzaku · « **Reply #35 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:10:42 PM »

I probably won't be back for long like always. Have fun building urchin, it will take a lot of dedication to stack those servos.

Aha! YOU'RE the guy who made the original Bumble Bee (Absolute Spike Defense). Sage made a bot with the same design called Bumble Bee, and caused quite a controversy when he entered it in my tournament.

Good work on Spiral Star. Very clean, organized design. The angled wedge-plow and the way you angled the maces down in the direction of spin are nice touches.

Wow, I'm surprised that my bot inspired sage to make a bot with a similar design.

Bumblebee's chassis design is actually the exact same layout for one of my older absolute spike defense variations when I was trying to shrink the size by using regular z-tek motors, but I found that the loss in power wasn't worth it.

Maybe I should enter Absolute Spike Defense in the next tournament you host.

Yeah spiral star is my next best MW design so far, the spikes on the lower motor are actually touching the ground and they are angled so it tends to get under other spinners easilly.

This is what it looks like and this is how I mounted the weapons and plow.

I was hoping that Starcore would be interested in integrating some of my bots into his next AI pack but I don't visit the forums quite enough to make a big splash though I'm sure absolute spike defense would be a huge challenge to defeat.

That's actually a lot like a MW version of Charybdis, the HW I just posted.

Now if I make a MW Charybdis, I'll have a hard time making it not look like Spiral Star. Good job.

NO.

And wayyy to much wasted on extender work.
