I'm back, and so is Disembowelment:

not as well done as the first one IMO. There are still bits of empty space due to poor chassis trimming. It's still using DSA and has 5 razors now instead of four. Now more wedgy and destructive, but still has a very exposed wedge.

Sage · « **Reply #41 on:** July 05, 2009, 10:17:40 PM »

maybe another 20cm on the wedge... although it doesnt really matter. I don't see much you can do about the chassis space besides redesign.

The Ounce · « **Reply #42 on:** July 05, 2009, 11:24:02 PM »

Would the extra 20 cm put more weight on the front end, thus making the wedge more effective?

Kind of confused by this bot: is it a wedged rammer or a pop-up?

The Ounce · « **Reply #44 on:** July 05, 2009, 11:42:48 PM »

It's a popup. If you look closely you can see the weapons are attached to a snapper2.

And Sage, I think I can officially say that I am now possessed by your skin pack.

Ice Chipper, my LW VS:

RAD drive with shinies
1 Supervolt
4 razors on a z-tek
DSA

Yes, the whole thing is built on snapper IIs.

The weapon is deadly and has good flipping power, although the motor is very exposed. Great defense as well.

And Ribbs, before you say anything, I tried attaching the plow to the same extender as the weapon, but it wasn't as wedgy as the setup shown above.

um you said one supervolt, but there is a black in the pic
edit: oh i got my niftyn and supervolts mixed up. sry.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #47 on:** July 06, 2009, 06:41:49 PM »

Supervolt=Black...

Pretty nice bot, but a black is a little overkill for a LW, might be better if it had a nifty and a few extra weapons.

R1885 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 06, 2009, 06:45:17 PM »

I suggest using a Nifty instead of a suppervolt.

If you must.

I don't. Good bot.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #50 on:** July 06, 2009, 07:28:06 PM »

Just straight up don't listen to Ribbs. EVER.

Keep the black and see if you can attach a baseplate above the snappers instead of attaching the Z-Tek off the snappers.

Looks good I just don't like the un-centerness of the spinner.

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #51 on:** July 06, 2009, 07:40:07 PM »

Excellent bot! Simple and effective. You are getting pretty decent.

40757 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:49:44 PM »

Why is your drive on those snappers? It would save more weight to just make more room in the chassis and attach a baseplate anchor in the middle for the weapon.

It's looking pretty good though.

The Ounce · « **Reply #53 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:54:16 PM »

I wanted this bot to have a servo-boosted weapon as well as a snapper wedge. I then decided it would save weight to attach the drive to the snappers as well.

The Ounce · « **Reply #54 on:** July 10, 2009, 06:58:03 PM »

A slight bump, but for an important reason.

Bad news. My stock game just crashed and now I have to reinstall everything, meaning that I have to rebuild every one of my robots. The team that I was working on and planning to showcase (and was the reason I haven't posted here in a while) is gone as well. I'm pretty sure I can have all of my robots rebuilt within 2-3 days, but it would probably be even more before I can showcase my team.

Naryar · « **Reply #55 on:** July 11, 2009, 12:59:46 AM »

Can't you salvage your robots from your Teams folder ?

The Ounce · « **Reply #56 on:** July 11, 2009, 01:17:21 AM »

That's what I tried doing, but when I tried to import the bots/open them in the botlab, the game would crash (though not as major as what happened before). I think there is a solution to that problem but I'm not sure.

Two niftys would be good. Slims? maybe.
