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.

Loving them both. Too bad Banish3r doesn't drive straight.

What? I don't think I've ever seen a practical MW dual VS with more than 8 spinning irons.

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.

No it didn't, you liar! :P

Still can't believe Banish3r actually has good wedges.

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

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.

The larger discs mixed with the slower motors seem like a bad idea for me in terms of damage output. How does it work?

Mr. AS · « **Reply #591 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:57:33 PM »

very nice

It pretty much does as much damage as NWB. Bots that are on top of it are dead in like 10 seconds anyway

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #593 on:** May 05, 2012, 08:55:23 PM »

definitely a good tradeoff imo

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #594 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:17:06 PM »

I haven't been this productive in a good while..

Qubeley
398.8, DSA, one black, 2 casters for bottom protection. yeah you could cloned NFX but who cares

Mr. AS · « **Reply #595 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:20:20 PM »

do the spinning razors come off often ?

NFX · « **Reply #596 on:** May 07, 2012, 05:20:58 PM »

I think yours is better. Definitely more stable, plus a wider area of attack. Icepicks are there to keep it from tipping, correct?

Sage · « **Reply #597 on:** May 07, 2012, 06:23:07 PM »

I'm loving all these undercutting RAD bots popping up. Those things were my favorite thing when building cool bots. Nice work utilizing them on a MW.

Mecha · « **Reply #598 on:** May 07, 2012, 06:23:22 PM »

Qubeley? :3
anyway, i like that bot. it's so small and chassis efficient.

Naryar · « **Reply #599 on:** May 07, 2012, 07:55:16 PM »

yay hybrids

makes me want to start building again
