Why I don't build many LWs

It's gone through several rebuilds, but it's still only mediocre.

What does it do exactly?

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #502 on:** April 26, 2014, 10:25:32 AM »

The spikes start out in the back, so when the snapper is fired, they come forward.

Oh, so basically, it kicks things? I've never seen that before in RA2.
(Aside from an old The Mule replica Resetti made.)

I guess so. I'll call it a "kicker"

Why not just turn it into a regular hammer? Right now it'll just hit the weapons of LW HS rather than the motors and/or chassis. I'd probably change the irons for razors too because they're lighter and would fire faster. Putting the wedge snapper on the blue snapper isn't a great idea either, the wedge would probably suck.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #506 on:** April 26, 2014, 05:14:14 PM »

I'll look into that.

For now, I have a dumb HW FS. At 796.0 kgs, I was about to add the last component: an extender (it had a problem with getting stuck on its back and its sides)

Then this happened:

I was annoyed for a bit until I decided to put in an antiballast and take it out after I attached the extender

TAKE THAT RA2

DSA (Edit: Forgot to mention that there are two stacked blacks)

it would probably be more effective if it was wider. hp zteks for weapons seem unnecessary imo

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #508 on:** April 26, 2014, 11:37:34 PM »

If RA2 says it is overweight at 800.0 kgs, it means it is actually 800.04 kgs or less, but it rounds the display to 800.0. So this bot is technically a SHW. BUT, you can just attach that last extender to the plow extenders and remove the baseplate anchor. You get weight to make it 20cm longer and put the bot at 798.04. Problem solved!

And yeah, it does need to be wider. It might be enough just to space out the weapon motors more.

I would honestly just have redbirds + razors for weapons. 16 irons is excessive for a gutripper.
It's also too slow. Come on step it up.

(if you're planning on entering that into SSB, as long as it displays 800.0 KG or less, it should be fine with me.)

I've got something else for Smash Bots. I'm just procrastinating sending it because I want the wedges to be as good as possible.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #511 on:** May 03, 2014, 10:18:27 PM »

I was in the mood to build another HW, but I had no ideas, so I resorted to throwing a paper airplane at a spinning ceiling fan for inspiration.

Phrightening

DSA, 2 stacked blacks. I was tempted to change my Smash Bots entry and submit this, but it gets out-weaponed way too quickly.

But it still looks cool.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #512 on:** May 03, 2014, 10:34:56 PM »

3 plows and 1 iron is not enough armor, especially with no trapping V shape.

But yeah, it still looks cool.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #513 on:** May 07, 2014, 04:53:22 PM »

About time I showcase my Smash Bots entry (with signups being closed and all that)

2 stacked blacks, 40 kg of ballast in the front. Not my best work, but I still like it.

KOS · « **Reply #514 on:** May 07, 2014, 05:03:23 PM »

Looks cool, do the razors get de-weaponed though? I personally think maces may be better.

Good build overall.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #515 on:** May 07, 2014, 06:27:00 PM »

Sometimes, but having four arms helps.

Wacky Bob · « **Reply #516 on:** May 08, 2014, 05:04:48 PM »

Bob the builder

I told KOS that I would build a bot in 30 minutes. So I built another hammer, but this one is a middleweight.

KOS · « **Reply #517 on:** May 08, 2014, 05:13:00 PM »

Like it

, perfect size chassis for the plow.

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #518 on:** May 08, 2014, 11:56:30 PM »

Looks good, especially for a 30 minute build. Is it actually good?

It's okay, but it's pretty good for a hammer.
