Nice stacking there. Chassis could be shrunk up a little, though, and the BA's could perhaps be moved towards the edges of the chassis a bit more, removing the need for those extenders (ninja'd). You could definitely use some slower drive, maybe redbirds, to try and get yourself up to 12 irons. I reckon 6 irons and 6 maces, one of each on a 20cm extender would work better, because you've got the reach of the irons, but the extender protection of the maces.

398.4

just use 3 extenders per tribar.

Skrzak!

Not sure how much it'll be able to jump around inverted with static HP Z-Teks. If not enough, you can raise the anchors and try to get invertibility, or if not, at least a lower ground clearance on the wheels so the bot doesn't lean on the plow so much.

Acid Rain

397.4, DSA, 12 Irons. Pretty slow, other than that it's good.

After testing it more, I discovered the stability extenders only got in the way of the weapons. Then I discovered that it's perfectly stable without them. So I took them off and found a way to sneak in Z-Teks for drive.

395.1, DSA, shorter chassis. Was still able to keep all 12 Irons. Faster and lots better now.

Looking pretty good. If you can shrink the chassis by .1 kg (which should be comparatively easy), you might be able to add a pair of 20cms parallel to the ones currently holding the drive motors on, to raise them up a little bit and perhaps help with balance by lengthening the stance slightly.

Have you tried 8 irons and a wedge?

If I can ever get away with this I will post it.

Kinda reminds me of Look! The Loch Ness Monster!!! but slightly better. Just needs a wedge.

Easier than I expected. I thought the extra chassis weight would kill me.

398.4, DSA, 8 Irons. The wedge is pretty good and definitely helps.

Aaaaand we're back. Quick FS I made, uses Acid Rain 3's chassis:

Violet Viper. 798.1, DSA, 24 razors and extender work galore. The underside is completely protected with casters. Puts up a good fight.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #472 on:** August 17, 2012, 06:41:13 PM »

wedges looks narrow and bottom casters dont go well with wedges

4wd ?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #473 on:** August 17, 2012, 06:45:15 PM »

2WD, sadly. I was going to stack a black and get rid of the casters, but couldn't get it to fit.

Gazea2 · « **Reply #474 on:** August 17, 2012, 06:50:50 PM »

I <3 your building style.
4WD would definitely help here and it would help if the snowplows covered the wheels. As Mr AS said, the wedges look quite narrow.

Totally RAD vertical spinner (Shouldn't they be called RAMs, though?)

Thpider, had some fun eFFeing to make this. 798.8, DSA, 2 Blacks (Happened to get the stack right away). Complete with 24 spinning irons and full underside caster protection.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #476 on:** September 08, 2012, 02:08:01 PM »

anything with any kind of horizontal spinning weapons will rape this easy. You need a much more stable setup that wont fall over and die if it fights anything

090901 · « **Reply #477 on:** September 08, 2012, 11:15:56 PM »

The spinners look too high tbh.
I would think plows or swords would work better than blades though.

and i think the weapon is too slow for it's own good.

Sooooo here's what I would have entered in last month's BotM if I hadn't built this on the last day:

Yeah
