Is there a HS that doesn't havok when the drive is bursted?

Sage · « **Reply #241 on:** March 07, 2010, 10:51:17 PM »

^Agreed. Usually I don't even include turn controls when I AI my HS, because it will just havok like mad.

Piston sidehammer!

Inspired by Toxicity. There's something about it I don't like though. 2 blacks, 2 airtanks, DSA. If anyone has an idea to use up the 10kgs left on the bot, I'll be glad to hear it.

And a popup.

2nd HW popup I made (first one was Banisher). 16 razors, 2 blacks, DSA.

Both look great. How are the wedges on Black Sun?

For Terafumos, stack the blacks and keep them both turned in the opposite direction, and pushed up to the front. Then, remove two of the irons in the front, and swap the shinies to rubbers. With the extra weight, then you can make the wedges longer.

I think you could use the extenders more effectively on Terafumos for the weapon rack in front. Try an offset anchor and use a sideways 20cm as the T connector. I would use razors and make it wider and longer. Cool bot otherwise though.

Popup- Usually you want to focus more razors in the middle of the bot instead of split up like that. Try turning the extenders the other way.

Good, but not NWB good. They're on a RPB/Infra wedge level.

What would that be?

Cool design, but is it effective?

8 irons, 8 razors, 2 blacks, DSA

Pretty fast. I wanted to use a t connector to mount the weapon motors on, but it wouldn't let me attach it, so I went with a y connector. Oh well. The wedges are as good as Black Sun.

It works pretty well. The DDTs sometimes act wild when firing the pistons when they're swinging though.

Cute little juggler <3

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #250 on:** March 19, 2010, 10:18:26 PM »

Interesting approach with the weapons so close together. You should be able to use a T connector with Snapper loading.

And 4 ramplates is pretty good armor for a juggler.

None of mine do...

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #251 on:** March 29, 2010, 05:38:31 PM »

2 blacks, 16 irons, dsa.

Reier · « **Reply #252 on:** March 29, 2010, 05:59:57 PM »

Ooo I like the iron placement. Seems like a good bot....but TBH, the looks leave a bit to be desired. :P Kinda 80's computer like. Looks deadly though.

Sage · « **Reply #253 on:** March 29, 2010, 08:27:11 PM »

Would look a lot nicer with a better skin dude.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #254 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:26:07 PM »

Yeah that skin is ugly. I'll change it to something better.

40757 · « **Reply #255 on:** March 30, 2010, 01:00:41 PM »

Don't use Y connectors for weapon placements.

Don't use Y connectors for weapon placements.

Actually on a bot like this y connectors work great. they spread out the damage radius and are a little shorter than the ones directly on the disc providing for some differentiating in the hit cycle. They may not be weight effective but I can't see much use for the extra weight anyways.

Nice bot VB.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #258 on:** March 30, 2010, 09:28:26 PM »

Is this skin any better?

Sage · « **Reply #259 on:** March 30, 2010, 09:32:33 PM »

Yes, but it's just a texture with dirty edge, and a pretty boring texture at that. Try harder! You'll get it :)
