How many blacks? 2?

Remove the Last wheels, stack another in, and use the wedges to flip opponents onto the VS blades. Add more weapons as well.

16 irons and 4wd is good dude.

There's been several VS's with similar design (Inf built one and I build one shortly after that); 4WD, etc. 2 Blacks should be enough for that. The DDT wedges should work well enough with a little adjusting, but a VS will never have as good wedges as some other types of bots due to the upward force created by the spinners.

I understand now. The bot itself has some nice wedges, but Uprising, Infernium, and Despised Icon are some of the only VSes that out-wedge it.

I need to start a stock showcase...

My attempt at a 36HS set up on servos. Only the eFFe glitch was used, and it took about a hour to make. I could probably use shinies with a different drive setup, but I like how this bot drives perfectly when inverted. It's more havoky than any other 36HS I made, but I'm happy with it. 2 blacks, DSA.

And here's a version of Malice (Now renamed to Malefic) with DSA.

Nice. I was wondering when someone would use the 24 kgs from getting rid of that second weapon extender to make a HS with servos. I'm not a fan of the setup you use , however.

I've made a 36HS similar to Ebola but it tends to havok whenever it turns too fast (which I'm guessing is your problem). Use the axle loading glitch to get the drive motors closer to the weapon motors.

Ebola's right wheel caught some slight AGOD somehow. It doesn't really matter, as it doesn't effect its driving, and it seems to be less havoky in the test garage (Didn't try actual matches yet).

Here's a LW side hammer. It has DSA and one black. I would definitely like some advice and suggestions for this bot, since I'm inexperienced in side hammer building.

Sage · « **Reply #190 on:** January 22, 2010, 11:23:10 PM »

well, you have 5 kgs. I might rework the weapons to use all the weight you have, somehow. Otherwise it looks good. Try angling the center razor upwards so it traps things.

Malefic looks great. At a glance, it looks like it could be a MW.

On the side hammer: the arms should start out further back for one thing. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you'll trap HS's if the arms are swung slightly forwards--the weapon will do very little damage that way. If you want to do some trapping, some V-shape static spikes in the front work great, though you'll have to downgrade to razors on the weapon arms to get weight for that.

All in all that is an impressive LW side hammer, a very difficult bot type to pull off effectively.

Starcore worthy, if he was around...

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #193 on:** January 23, 2010, 10:51:07 AM »

last time he was around was 15 november, so technically he's still around......

Pwnator · « **Reply #194 on:** January 23, 2010, 10:53:47 AM »

He was here yesterday.

Where?

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #197 on:** January 24, 2010, 10:44:15 AM »

hey SC!

System32 · « **Reply #198 on:** January 24, 2010, 10:58:47 AM »

Oh well.

Starcore, You got a new LW for ACAS cleaning service!

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #199 on:** January 27, 2010, 10:04:31 PM »

Here's a new bot I was working on. I was inspired by Lightkeeper and Augur Truth to make my on stacked FS.

It's as wedgy as SpiTe 2. I probably go back and add protection on the wedge extenders. 2 blacks, 16 razors, DSA.
