I would follow Sage's advice. Oh, and thanks. You just gave me an idea for a new bot. :D

Yes, because HSs tend to hit towards the drive a lot when the outer racks have been worn out, so it helps to have those ramplates there.

You're welcome!

I would angle the setup more, but I can't afford to use angle connectors because I wouldn't be able to attach as many weapons (rule of 7). Using regular 20cm extenders might work, but I think the setup would be much less efficient, so I'll keep it as it is. Besides, wider weapons tend to work better against HSs.

Very nice bot.

Now that BBEANS is over, some of the dedicated DSL builders may be moving back to stock for a bit.

Clash Cubes should change that easy enough :P

And hopefully I can change that again when I post more artbots. :P

For those wondering the setup of my BTTB entry:
(Image removed from quote.)
3 blacks, 12 razors on 4 Snapper 2s, wedge length: 160 cms of extenders.

How do you stack the ramplates like that?

Pwnator · « **Reply #249 on:** October 18, 2010, 10:09:20 PM »

Luck and patience. Same thing for Seism 16. The sweet spot for plates are harder to find that that of blacks. XD

Naryar · « **Reply #250 on:** October 19, 2010, 02:49:53 AM »

They are criss-crossed ? :O I thought some were on snappers and the 2nd pair static !

*sees innuendo* woops...

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 180 days.

Holy crap it's really been that long?!

If so then I might as well do the same thing I did for my DSL showcase: post a bot dump.

First, a slight modification to Go Up Here:

Everything's the same as the last version, but I managed to shrink the chassis and get enough weight for 20cm longer wedges.

Next, a clone:

DSA, 15 maces, 3 razors, CB stacked in Nifty.

As you can probably tell, it can de-weapon its opponents with ease, though it also has enough power to knock away most wedges as well. Couldn't find a way to use the remaining 5 kgs unfortunately.

A couple of DoD rejects:

The first one is a rammer with DSA and 12 razor tips. The goal with it was to reach past HSs' weapons and hit vital components or outweapon them if possible. It works, but not as well as I hoped, mostly because the main extender is an easier target for HSs than I thought.

The second was an attempt at a LW rupting flipper, using 2 Supervolts and 1 DDT. I got the flipper part down, but I can't get it to rupt at all. This is as far as I got before I gave up and moved on to another idea.

A rebuild of the poker/juggler that I build some time back:

DSA, 2 Supervolts, 14 razor tips, 8 iron spikes, 2 air tanks and pistons.

The wedges have improved from the previous version, but they're not outstanding like NF or Grade-4 Whiplash. Yes the static razors look useless where they are, but they actually do more than you'd think.

Finally, something I've always wanted to make, a MW HS/VS hybrid:

10 razor tips, 1 Supervolt, 4 RADs as weapon motors, plastic armor (It was the only way I could make both the weapon types adequate).

Despite the Snapper-mounted weapon motors, it's surprisingly wedgy; It gets under Seism 16 a few times. I even got it to beat a couple of HSs, like Flaming Whizzer. Before you say anything about the T-connectors on the VSs, I can't use regular extenders because the robot will bounce more not only because of the lopsided weapons, but also because they will hit the ground.

1st, 2nd to last and last I all really love. If you could send them over, I'd love ~~you~~ them even more.

Pwnator · « **Reply #253 on:** April 25, 2011, 08:04:07 AM »

We could use your popup as the replacement for BackSlash and perhaps your hybrid for REVENGE.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #254 on:** April 25, 2011, 08:18:31 AM »

<3 the last two..

Good to see you "Stocking it up" again Ouncey :P

Wait, I made a popup like that, but I only managed 6 razors and I had to use shinies due to 2 supervolts

What have you got in there?

FOTEPX · « **Reply #256 on:** April 25, 2011, 09:22:09 AM »

1 supervolt.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #257 on:** April 25, 2011, 10:42:12 AM »

I love the last one

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #258 on:** April 25, 2011, 08:16:33 PM »

Ounce you definitely need to build in stock more.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #259 on:** April 30, 2011, 12:13:33 AM »

Haha, I had the same idea with the rammer for DoD, but figured it would be useless against popups so I entered a more traditional rammer instead.

If you angled the razors upward a bit, it might be more effective. Also, you might consider sacrificing 2 razors for an extender guard.
