An axle sawbot? Now that is an interesting idea. I know S_M's one works, 'cause he's got a hundred and eleventy fourteen sawblades on his, but how much damage does this one deal out?

Lots of empty space. Cool concept. I think you should tighten it up a bit to gain some weight to spend and invest in a couple of maces to wedge in the corner between the irons and wedges. That way you can protect those red extenders that can get lobbed off pretty easy. Couple of short blades could do the trick too, like how they protect extenders on pro-popups.

Otherwise, I like.

Whuh... how does that beat Vox???

I can see it beating other wedges, rammers, and VS's if the wedges are good, but the sides look too exposed to be good against HS's if you ask me.

Interesting idea, anyway.

Needs moar razors, only needs one wedge, use DDT's for weapon motors, yada,yada,yada.

Well, the results won't lie, I'm impressed. (Neglected Waterbug o_O)

-Flatter chassis wedge maybe?
-You can power those motors with a Nifty.
-It seems like the wedge extenders could be easily ripped off...I notice there are no Battleshots of HS on there. :P Make the wedges shorter or protect them.
-What armour?

DSA. I always use DSA.

I just tested him against Anti-Popup designs and Killer Heavyweights.

Gimme a second...

All those bots are Horizontal Spinners.

What version of Starcore you got? I doubt that could beat the SCv4 Maelstrom.

Bob used my skinpack.
Love it.
(Which reminds me, I need to make an updated version)

Oh, and that sawbot idea of yours is actually pretty interesting.
Since the sawblades do damage regardless of them spinning, they pretty much act as giant razors(Well, maybe not as powerful, but you get the idea)

Version 3. I might get Version 4 soon.

That's exactly why I used axles. I used HP Z-Teks on the first prototype, and then I was like, "Oh yeah, saws do the same damage no matter if the saws are moving or not." So I used axles to save weight and put on more weapons. Also, since axles don't need batteries, the batteries can focus on the drive motors and the bot can go faster. Plus, even with axles, it's still good at gut-ripping, too.

Like I said, sawblades are just larger razors, but aren't as powerful.

-Use Shiny Hubs.
-Use irons, not razors.
-Take off the ramplate.

Razors are better then irons.

Only in some cases.

-Use Shiny Hubs. Pop-ups need low-ground clearance so it's easier to get under bots and harder for others to get under it.

-Use irons, not razors. Razors are more damaging than irons. Even though they're more fragile, they suit pop-ups better because it's difficult to knock them off, since they retract back into their hidey-hole.

-Take off the ramplate. Why? Pop-ups need protection to fend off Horizontal Spinners, too.

NFX · « **Reply #378 on:** May 08, 2011, 08:45:03 AM »

I would shorten the wedges, personally, they look like they could be taken off quite easily. That should get you another 12 or so kg to play with, maybe to add a couple more razors with. I say keep the ramplate, but the sides are more often where the HS will hit. Keep the Rubbers as well, if you have the weight for them.

Built this in a rush:

I was in the mood to make a de-weaponer, and then I decided to make it wedgy. It's got DSA, as always, 2 HP Z-Tek drive, one Nifty, and Snapper Wedges. I might give it Rubber Wheels in an update, but I'm not sure if I should. Anyway, I don't like it very much, but I love the name for some reason.

In other news, this is my first bot with a control board stacked in a Nifty!

Wedged De-weaponer: An idea in progress.
