I tested Sabot against Battering Lamb, and just like an iron-HS vs. a mace-HS, the maced one wins most, if not all of the time. :D

Congratz, now there is only 2 decent weapons in stock.

Hey, there are a lot of instances wherein irons are more preferable than maces. Sonic Boom needs irons for stability and for a trapping mechanism. Some of Inf's HSes use it for a bigger reach.

Besides, axes are still great when you have the weight, as well as pointy tips, pole spikes, possibly spike strips and samurai swords for external protection. :P

Sarcasm does not bode well on the internet. I should know this.

Anyway, I suggest we update the wiki...

Irons are superior against popups, maces against HS and rammers. This is how it works.

1 Supervolt, DSA, 6 casters.

36-mace SnS. I think it would be better to lower the Snappers by one notch and use bigger casters, but I'm not too sure.

Nothing as original as my last bot.

Speaking of which,

I decided to switch back to the first weapon setup on my mace piston rammer. There were simply no other setups that would allow it to perform as well against HS, which is what I wanted it to do in the first place. I also found that the gap sometimes helps to stop HS weapons.

Fan-say.

How do you overlap the Snappers like on the mace rammer?

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #188 on:** January 14, 2010, 04:18:28 PM »

Just try it. That's all I can say.

Ounce, does the 36HS/SnS havok?

G.K. · « **Reply #189 on:** January 14, 2010, 04:19:29 PM »

Will do.

The Ounce · « **Reply #190 on:** February 27, 2010, 06:04:11 PM »

3 blacks, 10 razors, 2 battle axes and 2 iron spikes for front armor.

Biohazard-style popup. I was trying not to give it a setup similar to R4's, but I failed.

It's wedges are okay as well as its fighting capabilities. It's rather weak against HS, but I think I can fix that with higher reaching front armor.

It probably should go in JD's inspiration thread, but I haven't posted here in a while. Besides it might have already been done before.

And no Virus Bomb, the 36 SnS doesn't havok... at least very often.

I like the use of battle axes, and why are there blades on the extenders?

To protect the extenders

Not that I know of. Very inventive design, I like it! It's like a "true" popup, but with greater reach.

Though whether or not the 60 kgs for the extra 2 DDT's is worth it is questionable. Is it much better than a traditional-style popup?

Sage · « **Reply #194 on:** February 27, 2010, 11:57:53 PM »

Gotta love battle axes :P

My showcases are losing popularity.

why?

Made some improvements to my 6WD VS:

16 razors and a little more front protection, but now lacking wedge protection. It's more damaging and more stable, but sometimes not so accurate, and the weapon motors are still mounted on the wedge DDTs.

Also:

DSA, 2 small battery packs, 10 maces.

I wanted to make another mace rammer, but this time I drew inspiration from Virus Bomb's LW rammer.

It took me about 35 minutes to get the setup right. Was it worth it? I would say no, because it Havoks EVERYTIME I try to test it!

*bashes computer screen*

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #196 on:** March 17, 2010, 06:30:03 PM »

On the VS. Whenever I mount Weapon motors on the same DDT as the wedge... the wedge just gets too bouncy to be worthwhile. It looks fat for some reason. I also think that the plows could be more useful if they were out and angled a bit more to make the whole setup more trap like.

On SpikeyFlea: Don't know what to suggest. Havoks suck... and can doom an otherwise nice set up. I think it is just a bit of "too much in too little" that can break a man's spirit if you dare to keep making tiny bots in this unstable game. :P If it were stable, it would be a rockin' bot indeed.

I like the LW. Is it invertible ?

Nobody will ever know thanks to Havok...

The VS is looking good.

Wanted to try this for a while now:

An attempt at a stock version of ReFraction. 1 Supervolt, 36 maces, DSA.

It doesn't trap as well as its DSL counterpart, but can still wear down HS weapons well.

Obviously unfinished, but I will add some wheel/extender guards later.
