Uncle Knuckles' Stock Showcase

Crap. Overlooked the stats again. I suck. ;_;

Also, if your bot's a bit bouncy, blame the maces. For some reason they always bounce when on a non-horizontal spinner.

2. Why does the motto for the Borg team in Starcore say "Resistance IF futile" instead of "Resistance IS futile"?

That would be a typo that in 6+ years I am not aware of anyone ever mentioning.
 
Starcore

Lol@6+Year typo

My guess is that everyone just read it as a correct version, despite it being incorrect.

I knew that it was wrong, I just didn't think it was really worth mentioning.
 
And I was wondering if you'd Snapper'd the weapon motors on as well, because that does sometimes make them bounce.

Quick! Someone make a Doodlebob Pikabob!

Meh, I failed at trying.

Is that a zombie Pikabob ?

Is this the first juggler/popup hybrid?


Regardless, it's a cool bot.  Might be a bit too short though.  Short bots tend to tip over backwards and have worse wedges.


And yeah, the bouncing is probably because of the maces, and because the spinners are on burst motors.  Both of those things can cause bounciness.

Can I just ask, how did you snap the drive motors on? 'Cause if you take a Snapper2 with an extender mounted perpendicular to the shafty bit, you can't attach a motor onto there, I'm sure of it.

[Pwnator]

You can. The snapper isn't raised, so the arm is facing upwards. Load the arm and hover an extender facing sideways and you can figure out the rest.

Right......snapper loading confuses me. =P

[Naryar]

You can't attach Stock and most DSL motors if their collision mesh touches the walls of the chassis.

@Clickbeetle: sweet you commented on my bot It would be better if it were longer, I just don't really have the weight... I could redesign the whole thing but then it would be a different bot.  I tried a version with longer wedges but then I didn't have enough weight to stick out the popup weapons enough.  When I put them at the lengths they are at now, even though the wedges weren't as long as the other version, the forward weight of the razor tips balanced the bot more and put more pressure on the wedges.  And about the bouncing, should I change the maces to a different weapon?  I can't really think of a better weapon, because iron spikes stick out too much and they don't protect the disc, and razor tips are too fragile.

It looks there's no more confusion about the setup, but here are some pictures of it just in case:


Oh yeah, and while experimenting with the design to see if it would work I got this really weird DDT stack by accident.  Has anyone done this before?  I thought it'd be kinda cool if someone got this to happen on both sides, then it could be a cool looking bot with angled DDT wedges...

This is why the eFFe glitch is awesome.
You can fit a crap-load of weapons/extenders/motors in the smallest of spaces.

The eFFe glitch is nice 'n' all, but that was snapper loading.

Snapper loading requires more effort. I'm too lazy to do all that.
