Heavier, slightly overpowered Reaper with more irons and HPZs.

Lose the big old wheels dude

You mean the slims? If I do that then the robot won't be invertible, and could be flipped onto its back and immobilised. Also, I've made sure they've got some protection from the chassis, so they shouldn't be knocked off too easily if anything gets to them.

I'm worried that the front spike of each set of three might get in the way and make the other 2 do less. You should test without it to look at combat effectiveness.

I did test it and it is an issue, but they're mainly there for the weight. I'll try angleing them downwards instead.

Right. 'Bout time I posted more bots then.

SLAGIATT

Seemed like a good idea at the time...

Gave me my first experiance of AGOD... Is also too slow to turn. Wheels are probably too exposed aswell.

PKR

My first attempt at a poker. Suffers slightly from empty space, but isn't too bad. Uses chained HPZ to drive the slippers.

Chained HPZs fail.

Aw. Why? Does it only work with normal ztechs?

It's better to just use more wheels. IMO, the MW needs 4WD HPZ and the HW needs 6WD HPZ.

Remove the snapper in the MW. It would be better to make chassis space since it doesn't accumulate as much space as the snapper.

If the Slippers are for invertibility then that means your chassis is too high for both bots.

Hope this helps.

Lemme rephrase my last statement. Chained drives fail, chained weapons own..

NOW it makes sence...

I was trying to experiment a bit really. Not very good(figures...) but I just wanted to see what I did and learn from it. And I'm doing that, so thats great.

So:

- Chained drives are bad. I did think that PKR would go faster...

- Using my method with SLAGIATT(for some reason I wanna call it snapper loading... but it isn't) didn't work well for its intended purpose. It origionally used a tribar on a servo, but that didn't seem to work well either.

I will do rebuilds soon.

Made some updates on PKR.

Reier · « **Reply #33 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:16:52 PM »

Not bad, but could be a lot better. Make it invertible if it isn't already.

Looks like S.W.A.T.

Are you of all people going to call someone out for cloning?

Take a seat champ.

I'm just saying that it looks like S.W.A.T., right down to its T shape.

What's SWAT? I dont know it, must not be that good.

Looks good, just a lil sloppy built wise.

S.W.A.T. is my poker, and is part of my AI pack. It easly kills any HS, and it has no problems killing any else, save for gut rippers.
