I've been lurking for too long.

Pink one is Influenza, the other one is Smallpox.

Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase

Well done. You should include specs when you post. (How may batts, Armor...)

When choosing the setup of your snappers and battery, try to make as less chassis space as possible. Small pox has a lot of empty space because of the way you positioned the battery.

for influenza, i would get rid of the connectors that connect the drive to the snappers and just connect the hpz by the side connection point to them. it would shave 4kg and move the wheels closer in.
great first bots, though.

Ghidrah. 6 irons, and everything else is visible. The ballast is there because I didn't know what to do with the weight, so I attempted to make to make the wedge better since it's average. It can beat XZAI 2, Mutiny 2, other single wedged bots, Billy Goat Gruffier and Hazardous Contents, but struggles to get under bots such as Epic Jr. and Synergy.

Get rid of the ballast, Move the batt back with anything in front of it and cut a block in the chassis. Make the wedges longer.

Nifty with stacked cb, plastic, and 6 maces. Basically a Quark clone. The bot is a havok machine in combat, which I find funny because it rarely havoks in the garage.

Try using shiny hubs, and try to attach some more spikes if you can.

I'm aware that the bot is basically an Alien Queen clone. The bot it's based off of is an old bot I made that is an angled chassis VS, just like Alien Queen.

With shinies, the bot is slower and has problems turning.

Once again, does anyone experience the weird UI glitch that I posted?

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83319screenshot_326.JPG)

Kshatriya. Two blacks, 12 irons and 4 razors. Wedges are slightly better than Rabid Pitbull's.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: TriTon on October 21, 2009, 08:12:58 PM
What's the word i'm looking for...Awesome!

Anyway, take off the extender holding the wedge so they'll be closer, with the remaining weight, you could add another caster.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on October 21, 2009, 09:52:08 PM
IMO VS shouldn't need to be fast and wedgy because of the spinning disk. I like them more like Alien Queen but I guess that's a personal preference.

With wedges that long, you should have better results. Never give up on wedges until its superb. I typically spend 1 and a half hours perfecting it, but I've spent 4 hours on one bot before.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 22, 2009, 04:04:32 AM
Nicely done. For the wedge issue, you could probably attach a 20cm to the DDT sideways and pointing outward and attach a perpendicular extender to the outmost AP. Then just work them out until you run out of weight. :D

Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: somestrangeguy on October 24, 2009, 06:15:29 PM
Nah, I do belive that it really is just GMF swapping and BFE.
I infact talked with venko and told him a little about GMF swapping(I didnt know BFE back then) and he seemed like he didnt know a single thing about it, or then he was just putting up a show. Who knows? Haven seen him on MSN in ages.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on October 24, 2009, 06:38:14 PM
No BFE or AAM done. I don't even know how to BFE, and I have never gmf swapped ever in my life. I was surprised that I managed to cross stack the blacks, since I struggle to stack blacks when making actual bots, and previous attempts at cross stacking blacks were failures.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 25, 2009, 12:43:19 AM
Probably works since you used a big-ass chassis. I usually leave a 1/6 box of open space so I can stack blacks easier. But what really bugs me is that I can stack 3 blacks but I can't stack 2 anchors into a nifty! /wrist

6 irons, 6 maces, cb stacked in black battery (my first bot to have this), redbird drive. Probably my favorite bot to use right now. It has a tendency to get under other HS and attack them from below. Holds up against fast razor spinners pretty well. Does okay against popups and undercutters.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on November 08, 2009, 09:36:40 PM
Not bad. I like the castors. Looks like theres a good amount of empty space though.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on November 08, 2009, 09:41:35 PM
I probably could slant the sides towards the battery, and the space in the front is for the castors. Sage, would you mind if I see your ARBBC heavyweight entry? I'm a little interested in it.

You build good bots but...

Whether it was intended or not, that MW HS is almost an exact clone of a lot of MW HSes I built and have included in my AI pack.

It's okay to clone to learn, but to become a better builder, you should develop your own unique style too.

A prototype juggler/drum bot. Didn't take a inside shot unfortunately. Here are insides stats

One blue snapper which is what the drive and two snowplows are set up on
Two stacked batteries, CB on top of them
DDT wedges
Anchors with green snappers on them. weapons (16 razors) and random battle axes are set up on these
Everything else is visible

One thing I know is that the anchors need to be raised up a notch because the razors barely scrape against the ground. Other than that and the razors' unsymmetrical setup, I don't know.

Not a juggler at all, just an original drum bot.

If it had a little more control to stop bots from going over the top, it could very easily be called a subform of a juggler. The name juggler in itself implies, at least from a robotics standpoint, something that picks up another bot and tosses it around in a controlled state, preventing it from moving away from the damaging weapons. This is what this robot does, regardless of it not being a top spinner. The name "druggler" implies that this bot works like a juggler but instead has the weapons of a drum bot instead of the standard top spinner, hence the subcategory.

Direct quote from the wiki: "The tactic is rushing on the opponent, getting under, and staying under as the small spinners grinds the other bot's undersides.

They are so called due to the "Juggling" effect they create."

Sounds like the same tactic of this bot to me. A juggling drumbot, a druggler.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 20, 2009, 02:29:08 AM
The wiki states as well that jugglers do have small horizontal spinning weapons...

For me it's just a elevated drum with a wedge, and not a juggler.

And i still don't like "druggler" because that sounds like a juggler on steroids :P
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on November 20, 2009, 06:50:51 AM
Who wrote that page on the wiki?

Top Spinner is a type of Juggler. So is this bot.
Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase

I did... a long time ago.

Juggler = Neglected Waterbug style weapon. NOT a vertical spinner.

Title: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Scrap Daddy on November 20, 2009, 03:11:35 PM
If you really want to get technical, according to the wiki a bot like Hunter Killer Tank is a juggler. IMO a juggler is a bot like NWB, a top spinner is like sages one bot, a drum is like Drumblebee, and this is reallly just a vs.

also having the weapons attached like that doesn't make it a drum

Exactly why its a "druggler". I personally propose the splitting into two categories, Juggler (normal), and Vertical Juggler, the less built . Much like the difference between hammer and side hammer.

New HS/Rammer hybrid. It has 18 maces, 16 static irons, and two razors to hold the bot up. 2 blacks, and DSA. 6 HP Zteks. I think it looks cool.

Very nicely put together! How does it fare in combat? I have had problems with HS/Rammer hybrids...
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 01, 2009, 05:54:54 PM
Does okay, but I haven't tested it much...

EDIT: It does well against both Starcore 4 and PYS AI. Hostile Assault gives it problems though.

That is exceptionally well built, not even for how long you've been around. Just in general, a really well built bot. The only thing I might do is move the spinners back a little bit so bots are more likely to get hit with the iron spikes at the same time. Then again, I'm a rammer specialist so that may be a little biased...
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 05, 2009, 12:23:33 AM
Very well built bot.  Oh wait... when I first read "6 HP Z-teks" I thought you meant it was 6WD and I thought "Whoa, no way!" but now I see you mean total.

Well, still a good bot.

I felt like making a 36 iron HS. Snappers are stacked in a funny way. I also had a weird thing happen to me when I was making this bot. When I was done putting the motors on, the right side would always AGOD, but when I was done making the bot, it wouldn't AGOD anymore.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on December 05, 2009, 09:24:06 PM
Very nicely done. Love the setup. Maces work better on 36 HS against HS, but irons work better against popups and other bot types. Maybe maces on the front two and irons on the back two? And you have 13 kgs, do something with it. Dunno what though. You could use grannies for better invertibility.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on December 05, 2009, 10:39:34 PM
Pretty, but It's just another spinner. I'll have to try that snapper set up though.

As far as my piercing and concussion experience goes, mace spinners are better at breaking the opponent's weapons , and irons are better at sheer offense.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on December 09, 2009, 03:35:32 AM
Mace's on a snapper mounted motor VS = shaking and wobbling = horrible wedges

Irons preform better  ;)
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 09, 2009, 03:41:15 AM
Irons perform better when the snapper's attached that way. Maces would work better when the snapper's attached horizontally, as shown by R0B0's Metal Simulacra (it should be Simulacrum since it's singular, btw :P). But you should also fix the way you attach the drive since the flat side is not parallel to the ground. And your weapons might also be placed better if you used the original tribar attachment point for the outer tribars. :D

you are actually a very talented builder! I am guessing the battle axes could stabilize the bot, but would be better off with plows instead of the battle axes
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 12, 2009, 09:28:30 PM
i might spread out the weapon motors a bit

I wouldn't.  Having them all close together makes for a more focused attack, and easier flipping of bots.  It's like a popup, where you want the weapons to all hit at the same time.

Also, that bot looks like it would be bouncy.  Maybe not though.

In any case, it's an awesome design.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 12, 2009, 10:47:07 PM
Just realized I spelled the name wrong, but it doesn't matter because it was renamed to Maleficence. I replaced the battle axes with sideways mounted extenders and played around with the wedges. It's now able to get under Tempest Exterminator (SCv4), and occasionally gets under Rabid Pitbull.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29868randomlw.PNG)

A random LW I made from one of my BW's chassis. Plastic. Goes even with Tempus Fugit. It probably could be better if I gave it its own chassis.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98614kg.PNG)

Some old VS that was inspired by The Emancipator. I made this around the time I made Smallpox (August). Empty space inside of it, but it has the best wedges of any VS I made. It gets under Neglected Waterbug occasionally. Uses DDT wedges.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90553stackbox.PNG)

More random stacking. The blacks are triple stacked, and there is two anchors and a cb in the nifty. I wanted to cross stack a black into the triple stacked blacks, but wasn't able to.

2 supervolts together,
4 or 5 pinks together,
2 or 3 air tanks together,
Anchor in a Nifty
overlapping HPZ-teks
overlapping anchors
overlapping ramplates

I don't think I like the way you attached the weapon motors on the HW. Seems like a waste of weight and more vulnerable to attack.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on December 18, 2009, 08:07:52 PM
Attach both motors to a Blue snapper in the middle. Make sure the Z-Teks are close to each other and face each other so the discs and razors protect some of it. Then with the extra weight do whatever you want.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 18, 2009, 08:29:22 PM

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on December 19, 2009, 11:50:48 PM
Move the baseplate anchor off center and attach two extenders pointing sideways instead of the T-Connector to save a kilo.


OR attach both the plow and weapon extenders to one anchor and get under 390 for Z-Tek drive. You can use the T-Connector for the second method. This method is easier to pull off to get the faster drive.

Went to do some changes on Death Wind.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4315deathwind.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1604deathwind_severe.PNG)

I moved the bracket wedges further back so the weapons could stick out more, and switched to shinies. It still isn't as wedgy as I want it to be.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on December 20, 2009, 10:32:01 PM
I think the way you have the motors attached is doing more harm than good...
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 20, 2009, 10:34:24 PM
Which motors?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 20, 2009, 10:35:05 PM
Shorten the wedge blades until you have 8kg in excess weight. Then attach an extender to the anchor and point it upwards using the side AP. Then attach another one to the extender's bottom using the opposite AP. Then attach your DDT and wedge there. Not sure if it breaks the rule of 7, but as far as I know wedges closer to the ground are wedgier than elevated wedges with the inverted small wedges. :D
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on December 20, 2009, 11:08:01 PM
I mean the drive motors. Like Pwn said, having elevated DDTs like that hinders wedginess.

2 blacks, dsa, 16 irons.

I wanted to make a wide 4wd VS with y connectors. Does good, but I will try to see if I can make it wedgier. It probably might be better if I just stacked the batteries.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on December 21, 2009, 03:55:26 PM
It's actually fine that way. If you are using DDTs for wedges it should be plenty wedgy. Try adjusting the wedge height more and see what works best.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on December 21, 2009, 06:28:08 PM
I would of made the wedges slightly longer by 1 extender but that's just a personal preference I guess.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 23, 2009, 09:42:35 PM
Do the weapons on Evisceration spin up or down?

FB actually made a bot quite similar to Death Wind, but he also had problems with wedges.  The wedges SHOULD be great with the tilted-down chassis, but it's harder to do than you think...

Malevolence is cool, but the MW VS looks rather unstable.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 23, 2009, 11:04:05 PM
The weapons on Evisceration spin up. I don't know why it's hard to get good wedges on Death Wind, with the tilted down chassis. Was FB's bot a VS?

The MW is actually pretty stable. Those side extenders help out.

I like the wild look of it but that t connector is awfully exposed.

You should segment those extenders too.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on December 27, 2009, 08:13:18 PM
I just segmented the extenders. The t connector rarely gets knocked off, but the other extenders are knocked off easily by rammers and some HS. I'll have to see if I can find a way to protect those extenders. It does pretty well against popups though.

I can't really think of anything better than the irons on anglers, but I could try icepicks on extenders.

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

Two new setups on the LW.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9596xenonsetup1.PNG)

The razors help out a lot against rammers, but the bot isn't as good against popups as it was with the original setup.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84096xenonsetup2.PNG)

This setup would have been the same as the original one, but I can't get the maces to be evenly spaced due to dumb collision meshes, and as a result I had to tweak it.

Both bots weigh the same.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

Seeing Pwnator's hammer inspired me to improve my own. Plastic, one black and one pink. I was too lazy to redo the chassis, so there's some empty space. I haven't tested it much, but it's able to kill Surge 2 and Maced 2 (Is it called maced 2 or just maced? I don't remember lol).
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on January 08, 2010, 11:44:34 PM
Not bad at all, I might push the DDT arm forward a bit (more pressure on wedge, less on back) change wheels to shinies and do something with the extra 10 kgs.

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

Kinda reminds me of Box of Grime with a VS instead of a slanted HS...  I bet you could get DSA on there.

Ideas on weight improvement:

Use 2 sideways baseplate anchors instead of 1 anchor and a T connector.
Instead of an angler use a 20 cm rotated on top of another 20 cm.
Attach the drive motors directly to the main extender (i don't know if the game will allow this, though...)

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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on January 20, 2010, 09:04:29 PM
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.

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.

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.

Post by: Trovaner on January 21, 2010, 09:44:06 PM
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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on January 22, 2010, 11:01:23 PM
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.

Post by: Sage 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.

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

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18585stackedFSinsides.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63763spite2_mastodon.PNG)

It's as wedgy as SpiTe 2. I probably go back and add protection on the wedge extenders. 2 blacks, 16 razors, DSA.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on January 27, 2010, 10:12:32 PM
Rotate the razors so one of the sides is pointing away from the disc (look at BBG)

Seems a little skinny to me as well. Maybe you could widen it a bit.

It's a generic rammer anyways so it's not a clone of Pwn's.

something original
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13447kymura.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92558kymurainsides.PNG)

Made this last night. Because it's a combination of a rammer, FS, and poker, it was originally called Chimera. I switched the name to Kymura because it it sounds similar to Chimera, but sounds cooler IMO. The wedges are on a NWB wedge level. The blacks are cross stacked because for some strange reason, I couldn't stack them regularly. It's a nice popup killer, but it kills too slow for my tastes. I'll probably switch the axes on the piston to razors to see if it kills quicker. One tank, DSA.

Post by: Doomkiller on February 18, 2010, 06:22:09 PM
I reckon it's pretty original sparkles.

Nice. Try the razor idea, It should kill quicker then, but you will lose the defense that axes give yay. FSes usually like to grind away rather than be quick killers. Maybe try to put the rads on the side rather than the top, and make it into a V shape so it would trap better. See if that works.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on February 18, 2010, 06:26:58 PM
Though it looks like Mincemeat with an automated weapon rack, it's actually pretty original, and it looks nice as well.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47644spite2_kymura.PNG)

And a castor armor VS. It isn't as heavily armored and wedgy as SD's version, but it's faster and has bursted weapons. I'll probably try a different chassis to make it wider. 2 blacks.

This originally was supposed to be a trinity sidehammer, and the idea was that when the DDTs fire, the pistons would swing out, like a trinity SnS. That failed lol. I would had went for a full trapping rack, but didn't because it would seem too much like Vise and I wanted it to be invertible. 2 blacks, DSA, 12 maces. Will go back to do a piston sidehammer.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on March 06, 2010, 04:54:37 PM
Still looks a lot like Vise :P

Not bad though, I like the invertibility. Why do you have the pole spikes and the pointy tip? You should use razors or something without normals.

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.

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 40757 on March 08, 2010, 11:03:18 PM
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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on March 09, 2010, 07:02:17 AM
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.

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.

Built last night. One snapper, and this might be the first one snapper 36HS setup with a horizonal snapper (I might be wrong though). I find it funny that there was no AGOD until I finished putting the weapons on yesterday :mad: . I go and quit the game, and the next day the AGOD isn't there.

It's a little havoky, but not as much as Ebola. I should be able to get two castors on for bottom protection. Just for the heck of it, I wanna see if anyone can guess the setup.

There's a lot of wasted extender weight here, especially on the weapons. For the back plows can you just attach a 20 cm to the bottom AP of the extender you have the angler on and angle it that way and save 4 kgs if you do both sides? Or does the plow become too low?

i decided to give Maleficence DDT wedges to improve wedginess. I also wanted to try a wider weapon setup and rear stabilizers, but i'm feeling pretty lazy right now so that will be done another time.

Probably just to enhance the wedges.

Longer wedges or DSA
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

It weighed around 405-410 with DSA, not too sure but it was overweight. I can get longer wedges with this version, and I can't think of a lighter setup for the weapon motors. Maybe I'll flip the plows over and use extenders instead of anglers?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Reier on April 27, 2010, 12:47:04 PM
Hey VB, just rotate the extenders holding the anglers inwards a click or 2, and use extenders on the side AP instead of anglers. Save 4 KGs at least.

Plastic, one black. wedges are not at the level I want them to be at, even with shinies and ballast. I'll probably redo.

Instead of a ballast, try putting the ramplates on anchors. That might be better.

One snapper FS. Untested, 2 blacks, and DSA. Of all the bots I have made, this was probably the hardest one to make IMO. I wish I could attach a plow at the top but the thing AGODs every time I do it :mad: . Oh well.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

you could use 20 kgs and put rubbers on for a better wedge.

I'll try that out sometime, I just don't feel like redoing the setup right now.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39906sentinelobserverclone.PNG)

I'm guessing this is the first LW chained HS with 6 10kg weapons, because the other ones I saw used 6 razors, bear claws/maces, and bear claws/razors. I took Spin Cycle 2's chassis just to make one. Doesn't spin as fast as two chained HPs obviously, but still pretty fast. Plastic.

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: NFX on May 11, 2010, 11:37:57 AM
It looks alright, but I'd try and shrink the chassis a bit , and maybe eFFe two irons onto each tribar arm.

Castor VS I'm that's almost done. Kinda a clone of one the VSes in Restocked, I don't like how it tends to tip over occasionally. Plastic.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60701hydrocodone.PNG)

Basically a better version of the crappy HS I posted a few pages back, this one can actually drive and doesn't havok. I find it funny that I could of made that HS with only the weapon motors and plow off of a snapper and it would have been better. Plastic.

This would have been finished yesterday if I wasn't so sleepy. 24 maces, 6 irons, castor armor. Some castors are missing on this version. There's some other ideas I'm thinking of, such as one ramplate on the bottom and one on top. Final weight was 798.5 IIRC.

Why the top armor? Popups are MUCH more of a threat.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 22, 2010, 06:30:28 PM
Maybe he wanted top armor so if it gets inverted it also is armored against popups this side down ?

He's still wasting weapon weight which helps against HS.

Sage, I don't understand that last post. Does it deal with the weapon extender setup?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 22, 2010, 06:47:01 PM
No, RA2's best driver (closely followed by me) says you should use the ramplate weight as moar maces.

Honestly, i think a little less maces traded for popup protection is worth it. Plus it makes it stand out of the 36HS norm.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Sage on May 22, 2010, 07:51:16 PM
Well, whatever beats the most bots I say. So if it works for you and you really get knocked upside down enough to warrant spending 40+ kgs on armor, then go ahead.

It holds both HPZs. The anchor holds a 40cm which in turn holds the anglers that hold the HPZs.

One day I randomly tested my caster armor popup's wedges against Pwn's Hot Wheels, In a best of 9 series. Hot Wheels won 5-4  :rage

after my popup's loss, was inspired to make a new version.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80437banisher2.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62890banisher2insides.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20154hotwheels_banisher2.PNG)

2 blacks, 8 razors, 1 airtank, DSA. Has a much cleaner caster armor setup than the old Banisher and possibly wedgier, but less razors and battery power. Has adjustable wedges just like Seism 13. Managed to get under Hot Wheels on its first try. It might have better wedges, but I'm not too sure since I haven't tested it alot.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

I never really liked that razor setup. Seems to spread out and exposed to me. Using 3 extenders, you can try this:

for the extenders (if you see what i mean...)

but other wise looks good. Chassis looks like it could have been managed a little better tho.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on June 20, 2010, 09:19:12 PM
I kinda liked the old Banisher (probably because the wide stance looks awesome).

Here's a thought: Instead of putting the weapon DDTs on the baseplate, why not just attach them to the actuators with the wedge DDTs? Won't interfere with the rule of 7, and you'll have weight for more weapons. :D

Terramax. 798.2, 6 ramplates, DDT wedges, 1 snapper

Took three tries to get the setup right. Would have been fine but the right wheels are slightly AGOD which makes it pretty hard to control :rage I might redo it sometime later to get rid of the AGOD.

You could be a great builder if you used you're imagination a little bit more. 75% of the bots within this showcase are clones. Not complete clones, but pretty much just as similar as Boba Fett was to each and every Stormtrooper.

Obviously he has no weight for more ramplates and its fine as-is. Obviously the motors aren't going to get hit by a hammer(first find me a good stock hammer bot except for a few sage, inf, and click have built).

Love the FS/juggler hybrid though.  I would try to remove the plow, and move the face spinners back and up so that they functionally replace it.  It would be more durable (as long as the motors don't get hit) and might be better at chewing up bots from more angles.

slight update to Korodera. Switched from rubbers to shinies, replaced the two razors with axes and the blades with spike strips, and changed to position of the plows.

My first HW rammer, kinda a Warmachine clone. 1 black and caster armor. I'll redo that ramplate placement later so they cover more of the chassis.

The BS has been improved a bit by making the extenders longer and widening the stance. Still not good enough IMO but atleast it can kill some stuff now.

Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on September 25, 2010, 10:41:54 PM
It has top and bottom armor, and no shinies cuz the of the casters on the bottom. ramplate placement has been changed and the bottom casters are now thicker since then.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: NFX on September 26, 2010, 04:35:04 AM
By thicker, do you mean more densely positioned? 'cause going from a 10cm to a 20cm, for instance, seems pointless to me. They're invincible anyway, and if anything it's just going to lift your wheels off the ground. Unless you move them up into the chassis to protect the sides, is that what you've done?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 26, 2010, 04:41:33 AM
By thicker, he just meant thicker (10cm to 20cm). And caster armor isn't invincible (a lot of my popups can KO Spin Doctor and Maelstrom in one hit). Caster armor does provide excellent protection when it is thicker.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

some pics of the updated rammer and bottom spinner

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9609updatedtoro.PNG)

ramplates cover more of the chassis, thicker bottom casters, and a little bit of aligning on the axes. 20 axes

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85253updatedhemorrhage.PNG)

wider stance, doesn't topple over as easily as the old one.

Lets see if I can get this concept to work....

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28508deathwind2.PNG)

Death Wind 2, and the bot behind it is the nearly 1 year old Death Wind. The idea behind both bots was that if the chassis was tilted downwards, the wedges should be better.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75664deathwind2insides.PNG)

Uses bursted drive instead of static drive like DW1. Once again I can't get it to work, as the wedginess is about the same as all my other VSes >_<

Also an HS I made, just because I felt like making one.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48088smallpox2.PNG)

4 casters for bottom armor and one black. Havoks when I hold down the key used for turning but I found that if I just tap the key, it won't havok.

I'm a little confused on how you got those middle 2 wheels on there.
I mean they are currently sticking into the chassis, so with that kind of spacing between the Snapper and the chassis, how did you get those wheels on there? O,o

Tilting the chassis downwards is just like any other wedge-improving trick like weight distribution, DDT wedges, etc.  In general it will have a positive effect but it's not a magic solution for getting under everything.


Neat bot, though it looks rather exposed.

Widened the spinners or FataL and made them spin upwards instead of downwards, now it works way better.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51193brigand.PNG)

1 black, DSA and stuff. Wedges are very good and can get under Seism 16 but it has a small tendency of flipping over in hard collisons.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39766garroter.PNG)

1 black, DSA, bunch of razors. Basically a MW Halftone, wedge is good and it works well, but HSes are a problem.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 05, 2010, 08:58:14 PM
If the birds are static, then there's no way around that. Angling them upwards usually remedy that, but I'm not sure if the wedges will be just as good when you burst your motors.

AND WOOT MW HALFTONE
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 06, 2010, 12:06:52 AM
Brigand looks cool, and HS's might be less of a problem for Garroter if you angle the front razors up and down like they are on the side hammer, so they protect the chassis better.  As it is now I bet HS's could sneak and hit that upper part of the chassis.

FS looks pretty sweet, if a little messy. Do those top irons hinder the gut-ripping abilities at all?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on January 28, 2011, 08:30:34 PM
The crawler can at least move in a straight line but when it comes to turning while moving it's far from good. The top irons on the FS don't hinder its gut ripping capabilities that much.

I dunno, I just figured with all the spinning, the tribals would always always knock the other robot around and not let it get a chance to actually hit the motors.
But ehhh....

Thunder Cloud uses a DDT.


I tried recently to make a Thunder Cloud 5 with a Snapper II, invertibility, and flails, but couldn't get it to have controlled movement (the momentum of the spinning chassis twists the drive so it can't move forward).  How does that one do?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on March 21, 2011, 06:10:32 PM
It has the same problems as yours. The drive would stop spinning after a while, but when I try to move forward, the drive starts spinning again and the bot moves around in tiny circles. I can kinda make it move forward by alternating between the forward & backward buttons, but it moves pretty slow.

rebuild of the prototype I posted yesterday. prolly isn't final but I'm a little satisfied with this one. it's pretty stable considering it has 4 chained spinners, and yes it can use grannies but I used n-12s instead because the original Cideous had them and they look cool.

Awesome.  Cideous was always one of my favorite AI bots to play around with because it could punt stuff so far.  Ended up being the inspiration for Ultra Gnasty which was sorta like an early version of Heaven's Sawmill.


But on that note, the tribars should be as close together as possible for maximum punting.

My report card:
Toxin: A+
M.M.: A
Dose: B+
ObliteratorII: B-
Autopsy: C

Toxin is very well built; great combination of offense, defense, and builder-style.
The same thing can be said about M.M.; yet it is also a new "dual threat" weapon system.
Dose is solid, nothing spectacular; it gets the job done.
ObliteratorII is just sloppy IMO. The snowplows interfere with the wedges, the RADs are bleh in this setup, the disks are slightly too far apart, and the armor is a bit sloppily placed/utilized; it has the workings of a really nice, original bot, but it still needs to be solidified.
Autopsy is just weight inefficient, the extenders and the wheels specifically. It has a short/weak reach...the weight from moving down to shinies would help free up weight, as well as getting rid of the angle extenders.

Looks pretty nice. If the motors are on SnapperIIs, that might explain the bounciness. I remember my BTTB1 entry had some of that. Either that or the wedges don't line up properly. I hope it's not too hard to fix, whatever the cause is.

The whole bot is set up on anchors and the wedges are lined up properly, so it can't be that. Never had this problem for as I can remember, wonder what's causing it.

Nice looking popup. I might have tried putting all the HPZ's at the back, and all the DDT's at the front, that might help with the driving straight problem. Not sure how it would affect the wedges, though.

VS looks schweet. I'm curious as to how strong the stabilisers are, and whether 8 irons is enough, even with the two on the extenders.

Obvious Pseudonym had 12. Maybe I just went a bit overboard. Although most MW HS have 12 weapons, possibly 15, and would definitely outweapon it. That's kind of where I was going.

On Banish3r, after putting the wheels on the AP, hold Ctrl and move the mouse in the way someone normally would to raise a component. Do it on all wheels and it should drive straight IIRC.

Update to Sokana (juggler on page 17 of this showcase)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39248sokana2.PNG)

Sokana II
794, DSA, 2 blacks, reg zteks as weapon motors. I pretty much improved on the original Sokana by making it larger which adds more stability, adding bigger discs which creates a bigger damage area, and setting up the ramplates on anchors, which allow for better wedges (on par with NWB). Can self right with the DDT wedges just like its predecessor, other than that it isn't really that special.

I would attach the RAD's on the other end to get the tribars as far apart as possible.  This makes it easier to trap bots, particularly HS, and get the razors into their weak spots.
 
Great build anyway, even if it is sort of a clone.  Naryar should be happy you didn't use 2 Nifties. :P

looks like itll do some nice damage and fend off sns well, but i fear that itll suffer from the same problems nfx's bot has, once the middle weapon comes off, the other 2 extenders will become very fragile to a spare razor. the maces should do a slightly better job at protecting them after though unlike XOR's axle'd razors

Not sure what you mean here but I'll just say XOR's axle weapons have their extenders inside the chassis pretty much all the time (there is a little bit of an extender that comes out of the chassis from one side of the weapon) so the other bots can't hit them and break the weapons easily.

Prototype of Execution Drone 2, an attempt at an invertible trinity FBS. quicker spin up time is achieved by firing the pistons seconds after spinning, and it deals a great amount of damage. would have been cool if not for the fact that it is uncontrollable once spinning and spins up to a point where it havoks itself right into walls.

Stuff for ARBBC


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92149arbbc.png)


AW - Axle HS
BW - Trinity SnS
LW- VS


All three have plastic IIRC, and both the BW and LW use nifties. AW has either 1 or 2 pinks; can't really remember. I couldn't think of anything good for an AW at all so it probably won't do well lol. Both the MW and HW are old stuff that has been showcased already.

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...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35988firepower2.png)

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.

Post by: Venko on May 08, 2013, 05:10:14 PM
"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...
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

oooh tribrid. nice term.

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

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  ;)

6wd is only good on rammers. other than that, sick bot!
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb 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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: infiniteinertia 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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: kill343gs 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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: madman3 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.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on June 20, 2013, 12:10:12 PM

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....


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66476interrogator.png)


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

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

4 20cms and a t connector for the weapon and drive motors, and an anchor+20cm for the plow so it doesn't move with the setup. i probably could get a lighter setup with a horizontal snapper instead of a vertical one, but 9/10 i get agod from working with horizontal snappers.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on June 20, 2013, 04:00:33 PM
Tried a similar setup on Hellion, but it was a havok bomb. The one I have right now seems to be the most stable with a horizontal snapper.

LW caster VS from last year that was in that bot pack I released. Only upgrade was redoing the extender work to center the weapon. Forgot what armor it has....


Some MWs that I made a couple days ago:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72904xaser2.png)


Xaser 2
A rebuild of my old true popup. Plastic, 2 blacks, 4 razors. Can occasionally get under Seism 16.


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25040kataphraktos.png)


Kataphraktos
A popup/wammer hybrid. DSA, 1 black, 4 razors on one ddt. Works by pinning stuff up against the wamming rack and wailing away on them with the popup arm although bots occasionally get on top of the weapon rack, causing it to work just like any other popup.. Was originally a true popup/wammer hybrid but it didn't do as much damage as I hoped. A little bit wedgier than Xaser 2.

it's been a while

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44514dyroness3.png)

796, 2 blacks and dsa. i wanted to make a trinity sidehammer that didn't havok all the time so i added 5 razors on each arm instead of the usual 7-8, since it worked for little metal friend in restocked. it worked, which automatically makes it better than dyroness 2 as far as i'm concerned. it doesn't remind me of vise anymore so that's a good thing.

I would personally angle the razors on the piston up a bit, to better be able to hit things (since you're gonna be lifting up the other bot, there's a good chance you'll be swinging at empty space underneath).
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on April 20, 2014, 12:11:19 AM
based off of testing it can hit things pretty well, and i feel that angling the razors up could hurt invertibility.

It looks like around 30 kgs of extender work. A snapper II is 13 kgs + extra chassis space + extender work on the snapper, so probably not.

No, don't use a snapper.

Try this setup. It saves 10 kg in total so you can try to upgrade the armor.

That looks really good.  Just need to pin a spinner down, and a few precise hits to the chassis will finish it.  I wonder if a deeper V angle with the plows would make pinning easier.

248.8 iirc. 2 razors, 1 nifty, and green snappers for the wedges and weapon motor. the irons serve as weapon breakers so the bot can stand somewhat of a chance against powerful single spinners that use razors n stuff. wedge seems good

2 blacks, ddt wedges. despite the high center of gravity the wedges are actually pretty good and it can get under rabid pitbull and r4. pretty stable too. plows were used to give the bot a wider, more stable stance although it looks like it could pass as a vertical horizon rebuild with them...

whats the idea behind the slanted back of megalodon? I did something similar with electron but in the opposite direction

the back is slanted so it doesnt get stuck on its back.

i like how this one turned out. does well against anything except hses and probably crawlers. the weapon motors are usually knocked off after the icepicks fall off although there might be a better way of protecting the motors. wedges are good.  2wd, 1 black.

you could rotate the motors a turn or two. that would protect them nicely.

22 razors (2 are static), 2 blacks, 2 hpzs and 2 regular zteks for drive, dsa, yada yada yada
for bttb v. i tried to keep the small weapon radius and hexagonal chassis of the original but the results were just (http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/tqHARym.png) so i ended up with this. at least it retains the rubber wheels and green snapper wedges...

3 bots

plastic and nifty. this should have been made a long time ago. pretty much a quark clone (just like the original) but with a weapon breaker and no havok. it's invertible when the plow gets knocked off.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70371ghidrah2.png)

another rebuild of a really old bot. i love mehve too much so i jacked its 4 plow setup, and added a wedge to make it a bit different. dsa, 1 black. it's built off of anchors if you're wondering

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3666misfortune.png)

don't recall anyone making a popup/poker hybrid at the mw level so i took a stab at it. it's pretty good and despite the razors on the piston sticking out a bit they still pack a punch. i do have a couple of kgs left over so i could try to see if i can have those razors completely concealed while keeping the bot under the weight limit. 1 black, 1 airtank, dsa. the piston is attached to a snapper in the back if you're wondering

All of these are absolutely lovely.

How effective is the popup/poker?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: The Ounce on July 03, 2015, 02:25:18 PM
I too wonder about the effectiveness of the last one, considering the weapons probably don't hit the target at the same time, as well as the exposed front.  Still think the idea is interesting.

Messala II reminds me more of my Protostar rather than Quark, but at least you managed to make the design somewhat invertible.

Love the VS.  Don't know if that wedge is effective, but it's certainly necessary.

Wait. People made Poker/Popup hybrids before? Since when? Nice pun by the way. ;)

Anyway, they all look cool. Can the VS self-right?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on July 03, 2015, 06:29:47 PM
the popup/poker hybrid is pretty good, it can take out stuff like the updated fury (the one with 15 maces) without too much problems. i could try a true popup configuration however and see if that's more effective. the vs can't self right but it's really stable.

248.9, 2 pinks, dsa
another rebuild of an old bot. generic af but peep the batteries. i somehow got them to stick out the top of the chassis a bit (the chassis is one tick lower than the minimum height for placing pinks in that orientation normally). anyone else ever pull something like this off?
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: RedAce on July 05, 2015, 11:47:43 AM
I think I've done something like that with the pinks, yet I can't remember if I actually have. Maybe from the sides and not so much for the top, I don't know. It's been a while since I used pinks like that.

Looks pretty solid overall. Liking how the ice picks are used for wheel guards.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: G.K. on July 05, 2015, 03:58:08 PM
I've seen it happen with black batteries out the back of the chassis - so not the same but similar

Top mid left or bottom far right.  I feel those are the best "worst" bots here.

an invertible lw vs i was working on. the black extenders near the chassis provide some protection to the square extender.

i had an idea of a vs/hammer hybrid in my head for a good while and wanted to build it. for some reason that wasnt enough and i ended up adding some undercutting rad spinners to it along the way. wedges could be a bit better but its pretty effective once it gets under stuff.
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
2 blacks dsa 800kg
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: 09090901 on February 27, 2019, 06:15:12 AM
that's pretty woke

would it be better dropping the hammer srimech and shaving off 1kg for a pair of hpzs somewhere? or is it mainly for stability
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on February 27, 2019, 08:19:06 AM
the square extender is for stability and isnt attached to the hammer, but maybe i should attach it to that. the bot was too fast for its own good with all hpz drive and was still occasionally popping wheelies without the extender with the current drive.

not a fan of norm ztek spinners up top. but you know i love those undercutter rads :)
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase

hybrids oui oui

will agree with sage on the ztek spinners though. otherwise it looks sexy
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on August 14, 2020, 02:41:33 PM
just ****in around
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

396, 2 hpz and 2 regular zteks, 1 ddt, 1 black, 2 razors. obviously some improvements could be made but 4wd mw popups are pretty much always gonna be ass due to dedicating so much weight to the drive that could be used for weapons and armor.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Reier on August 14, 2020, 10:02:47 PM
wish i had more to add but i dig the experimentation. does have a cool look to it at least. i doubt there is a way to make 4wd MW viable.
welp guess you gotta go redbirds champ :thumbup
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 15, 2020, 01:02:25 AM
It's impressive that you actually managed to jam 2 razors in there. I suppose using the 160cm extenders for the wedges for a 3rd razor isn't worth it though.
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Virus Bomb on August 15, 2020, 03:55:52 PM
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
made a single wedge version. 6 razors and the green snapper is on the blue snapper. it could still be better with a larger chassis and more refinement and all that but i'm old and don't really play this game like that anymore so i don't feel like doing another rebuild.

i also found some really old bots that i never showcased for some reason:

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
an eagle borg scout remake. pretty sure it has plastic armor

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
a mw vs that was basically a modernized version of a mw vs that rejected made, hence the skin. black battery and dsa

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
a modernized version of death port 2. 2 blacks iirc, 4 razors
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 16, 2020, 05:32:16 AM
good to see you back, those are dope as always

4WD normal ztek is kinda weird, not gonna lie. does it have enough battery power or are those stacked batts
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 16, 2020, 06:56:17 AM
nah that's more like 3wd hpz since it's 2 hpz + 2 ztek
Title: Re: Virus Bomb stock showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 16, 2020, 07:12:07 AM
hmm. wouldn't 3wd HPZ instead save a bit of weight and battery drain ?

i imagine the extra resources spent on drive is worth letting it actually drive in a straight line and wedge things

loving the last two. they capture the vibe of the original builders well while modernizing them as much as you can
