look closer, a 13 and a 822, sorry.

Nope, it actually is a 13822.
Nice.

Not too many people can beat me at HW piston rammers. You just did, however.

gah, checked again, you are right!

The bot looks great, but that gap in the middle worries me. Too much weapon power concentrated toward the sides of the bot. I can see the middle maces getting knocked off and then the whole rack falling off when the base extender gets hit. I would turn that base extender sideways (or use a T connector) so you can put more maces in the middle.

The ram plates are a nice addition; that bot looks like its wheels would ordinarily get hit a lot.

I would if I could.

That was the only setup that would allow me to have an orthodox weapon setup. Any other and I wouldn't be able to put as many weapons on.

Besides, the wide profile is one of the reasons it's so effective against HSs, and as it turns out, the gap is not that much of a problem. Thanks for your words, though.

Here's an idea:

Leave the top row, but rotate the two bottom rows so that they form a kind of X over the center. Use and pause+effe combination to get the maces on.

You mean something like this?:

If so, then I think I owe you something, Sage.

But now it doesn't perform as well against HSs

. At least now, it can beat some bots that it usually doesn't beat. In fact, it's been able to do this several times:

Actually happens most of the time while facing it. >:)

Sage · « **Reply #167 on:** December 31, 2009, 01:50:12 AM »

Yep, exactly. Nice work, that must have taken a while.

You know, you could angle the top rows down a bit, to make it look more menacing... would improve it a bit I think as well.

Wow Ounce, that is seriously a great bot! I wish it was kicking around during BBEANS... would have been fun to watch in the tourney.

Maces are not really good for rammers, but it looks very well built.

System32 · « **Reply #170 on:** January 03, 2010, 11:36:34 AM »

That bot has a lot of wasted weight with that chassis.

A simple box could suffice.

Wouldn't be able to beat Absolute Chaos without em

. It also tends to handle other rammers very well.

Why is your name in green?

The Ounce · « **Reply #173 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:50:28 PM »

Probably because it's my 16th birthday! Yay!

Sadly, that pic's not mine. I just found it somewhere XD.

Sage · « **Reply #174 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:54:21 PM »

Happy Birthday!

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

I really don't see why maces are bad on rammers though. High concussion will help breaking through the opponen'ts weapons.
