Ah, that's fine then. If it's damaging and wedgy enough, leave it as is. Any self-righting issues at all?

Vertigo · « **Reply #161 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:00:16 PM »

Nope, the ddts self right it fine

HPZs look rather exposed.

I never said that I won't re-build, I always do when I need to, but in this case it doesn't :P

That's why stock is boring. You need to make 15 chassis rebuilds after having a good bot, and care so much about space efficiency, and spend hours stacking/getting frustrated because your snapper loading isn't working, and others.

Sage · « **Reply #166 on:** November 03, 2010, 05:40:13 PM »

But the reward is much more gratifying and impressive than DSL

It reminds me of the one bot that I think is called Chopsticks

I agree.

I disagree. Stock is the original RA2, where building matters. In DSL, it's almost only about of Wedges. So the Top Builders plays Stock. That's my opinion.

123 is almost a living argument against this kind of thinking

Scorpion · « **Reply #171 on:** November 04, 2010, 12:37:10 PM »

Most of the top builders are more active in their DSL showcases i think.
If DSL is all about the wedges then once again how are shell spinners or sns still popular?
Anyway, we're offtopic here...

Yes, thats what Squirrel Monkey's showcase is for :P Now get back on topic

Vertigo · « **Reply #173 on:** November 14, 2010, 09:19:47 AM »

KO'd R4 & Seism 13

NFX · « **Reply #174 on:** November 14, 2010, 09:33:55 AM »

Looking awesome. =D I must make Halestorm 6 now. I'd angle the razors back slightly, maybe horizontal, so they have more speed when they hit the opponent, and do more damage.

you know whats funny.. its really more of an achievement if they win then it is if they are beaten due to the age they both are :P

still nice work..

Vertigo · « **Reply #176 on:** November 14, 2010, 09:54:15 AM »

Whaaat? I thought R4 and seism were still good bots!

NFX · « **Reply #177 on:** November 14, 2010, 09:55:22 AM »

I think Hot Wheels is the new wedge god.

they are still pretty good robots but both were among the oldest in BBEANS5...

its really surprising they haven't really been caught until after BBEANS

Actually, Ouncey's Nuclear Fallout is. But Hot Wheels is flankier. :P
