the motors are protected by the discs and weapons on top, I'm done debating... more bots from VB less talk from sparkles please.

I'll try different positions with the FS motors tomorrow, and I'm not seeing how SD is trolling.

My post was deleted but sparkey's stupid comments weren't? Cool.

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).

YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT VB, KEEP BUILDING.

the sides of jugglers are more forward then the middle so other bots go over the middle not into it :P




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.

Urban Terrorist looks interesting. You could maybe shrink the side extenders down a bit to save some weight
(...as an idea)

love that LW, very cool.

on silverstream try and face those FS's towards the middle RPB style then face those ice picks up to proect the motors. and that will give you a RPB/NWB hybrid  :gawe:

The weapons on the hybrid seem too close together. Maybe Ian's suggestion works.

As for the LW, the razor setup just look a bit odd to me. :P

The LW VS looks great, dunno how you fit so many weapons on there.

ZodiaK. And a lot of LW disc VSes have the same basic structure. :P

And HSes will always pwn wedgeless VSes, unless the VS is specialized to kill HSes (like Inf's Countdown).

Yeah it's better, I just wish it could have been a little more wedgier.

New bot. I feel like messing around with angled VSes more after building Instrument of Torture.

Yeah, this is a good weapons setup, I have a FS that is somewhat similar to this. Nice bot.

Poor, outdated Drumblebee 5.  I've tried making two new versions and neither of them were good.


Oh, and cool bot.

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.



Because I felt like making something with battle axes. 1 black, DSA

Battle axe setup reminds me of something.... ;)

Both look well built, specially the hammer. Insides? (I musta missed the first version somewhere)
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Looks quite good, aside from the wheels sticking out of the plows. Is it invertible at all?
