The entire robot is red extenders.

Exactly!

Trolling Sage with red extenders seems to have gained a rise in popularity recently... was it Dominator of Dragons that started it?

Anyway that bot looks quite impressive. 32 iron spikes is an insane amount of weapons for a VS. However it would probably be better if it had less irons and more protection. There's no way you would lose all 32 spikes before you lost a motor or the chassis.

This didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but it's still awesome.

4 Wedges is a bit much. I'd drop down to one on each side, and add more weapons on the jugglers.

Plow skin's a bit seizure-inducing, though.

What NFX said, and then use the saved weight on moar weaponry on those disks.
Also, i'd try angling them inwards a bit more, to see if that increases it's effectiveness.

The plow skin shakes and jitters whenever I scroll past the image.

Nice bot. For an angled juggler you really want more weapons though, because they are exposed to more hits.

Okay, so it turns out I'm better at Lightweights then I thought:

As a bonus, it also self-rights. Plus, its wedge is more effective than you'd think.

I think this one is more impressive than Firebrand. In case you can't see the insides very well, the drive motors are in the front, and there's a Nifty with a stacked Control Board in between. The Servo is in the back.

Not too bad. =]

Maybe if you used a SnapperII on Thunderhand, you could get it attached for much less weight, and you could add some defenses to it as well.

Thunderhand has too much drive :P
Can you lower the chassis wedge on Firebrand?

Maybe by a few pixels.

You can make Firebrand a fire razor pop-up easily.

Firebrand has too much drive if you ask me, you may be able to get a couple more razors of you downgrade to Z-Teks.

This. Hell, he can even get them to be Redbirds.

Very retro. Y connectors, servos... haven't seen those in a while. What's with the T connector on the back of Thunderhand?

How is that a bad thing?

NFX · « **Reply #415 on:** July 04, 2011, 06:54:06 PM »

Not enough weight left over for weaponry or defense.

Yea, thats true. But it still helps him to launch things better.

It's a 90 degree angle connector, actually. Sure, there's probably better ways to fill up weight, but I was hoping to bring this showcase out of the dust.

...

I'm starting to wish I put a random extender on Firebrand to go with it.

Probably for self-righting.

I've really wanted to showcase a Superheavyweight lately, so I set off to make this. Too bad it ended up as a regular Heavyweight. Anyway, after I put on the casters, I realized the chassis was perfect for Z-Teks, but not tall enough for a Snapper 2. I wasn't about to start over, so I built the thing off of servos. Makes it more original, too!
