It looks alright, but I'd try and shrink the chassis a bit , and maybe eFFe two irons onto each tribar arm.

HAH good luck with that! I don't mean to be condescending but that chassis is Spin Cycle's chassis... which is built by INF, which means absolute micromanaging of the chassis.

Ah, okay, I didn't know that part.

2 bots, one new and one not done.

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.

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.

I would really turn the mace-holding extenders 180 degrees and make it spin the other way so it doesn't traps bots and stops spinning.

I think it's safe to say that VB's a stock VS specialist. XD

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.

any comments?

Reier · « **Reply #308 on:** May 22, 2010, 05:55:58 PM »

no

JK :P
Are the irons on plain ol' extenders a little vulnerable..?

Sage · « **Reply #309 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:09:44 PM »

Why the top armor? Popups are MUCH more of a threat.

Naryar · « **Reply #310 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 ?

Sage · « **Reply #311 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:33:55 PM »

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

yes.

Sage, I don't understand that last post. Does it deal with the weapon extender setup?

Naryar · « **Reply #313 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.

Sage · « **Reply #314 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.

Naryar · « **Reply #315 on:** May 23, 2010, 04:32:07 AM »

Does it have bottom protection as well ?

Pwnator · « **Reply #316 on:** May 23, 2010, 04:33:13 AM »

3 casters.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #317 on:** May 23, 2010, 08:45:04 AM »

There's actually 5.

Pwnator · « **Reply #318 on:** May 23, 2010, 08:48:39 AM »

Wow. You can fit 5 casters in there? I can only fit 4 on my chassis. O_O

Top AND bottom armor... nice. Invertible?
