VS is way better than mine

no point in not showing it now. the antweight i could have entered in arbbc 2 if it weren't for rules

pretty much the same as wispy but with a razor replacing the 2 casters for more reliable weaponry. pretty much a xor clone with stronger axle weapons at the cost of armor.

haven't made a hw in 4 months...

Firepower 2
Rebuild of that 6WD VS I made a couple of years ago. Much more controllable and wedgy than its predecessor, and can do additional damage with the ramming rack instead of just two snowplows. 2 blacks, 6WD, and DSA. Inspired by that vs/poker/rammer tribrid that AwesumeSauce made a while back.

"6 WD = fail on this bot. A wedges on a bot don't become better with the increasing of the speed of a bot. Actually, IMO, a wedges on a very fast bot are even near useless. Took an AIed bot, make it with a faster drive speed binding, and test it vs. the old slow one to see. So, downgrade to a 4 WD and use the weight for a more weapons and stuff." - said a wise guy once, that have a bot, that have a slightly better wedges than the NF...

oooh tribrid. nice term.

although i think you could get a one snapper setup and save a little bit of weight.

Q: What is the common between NF, NWB, Seizm and some others?
A: They have a superb wedges?
A: That, and they don't have a 6 WD...
Enough said.

I believe faster drive will allow the bot to outmaneuver opponents.

The AI drive straight, it don't "outmaneuver opponents"

Not initially but when they got locked up in a boring circle dance the one with the faster drive should come out on top.

This is a not very common case, and it just don't worth to make a 6 WD to win a rare case, but to sux in the main stuff - a wedge-wedge contact. If you lose the wedge-wedge contact you don't go for a circle dancing, you die. If a 6 WD was better for the wedges, NF or the others would have it

Re-read my previous posts ^

6wd is only good on rammers. other than that, sick bot!

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #672 on:** May 08, 2013, 06:03:11 PM »

yeah i already knew that 6wd wasn't as good for other bot types like it is for rammers; i used 6wd for this because the original firepower had 6wd and i wanted to keep with that tradition. i might drop down to 4wd and add stronger weapons to the ramming rack, upgrade the regular z-teks to hp z-teks, and other stuff that might be possible.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #673 on:** May 09, 2013, 02:56:34 PM »

I like this version a lot better than the old one. Would be nice to get HPs for the weapons tho, unless you can find a way to effectively burst those Regz.

kill343gs · « **Reply #674 on:** May 09, 2013, 07:36:20 PM »

I love the design but I would totally drop 64d in favor of more weapons. It will get out-weaponed fast.

madman3 · « **Reply #675 on:** May 10, 2013, 08:36:29 AM »

I'd drop the 6wd, overdriving a VS rarely helps unless it's particularly front heavy, and this lacks quite the weapon weight to manage it.

a T conn. with 2 round extenders attached by the side could probably work.

well i thought the same thing when looking at robo's new lw, so i decided to clone it using that setup before anyone else could....

plastic, absolutely no havok. two extra 20cm extenders to bring the spinners further to the front since i had weight left over. pretty good imo

GAH I just used that name!!!

Aside from that it looks pretty sweet.

damn scrap that is very cool looking

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #679 on:** June 20, 2013, 02:42:38 PM »

Mine uses 5x 20cms and a T connector to hold it all together. Yours uses 4?
