Title: Yoshis bots :D
Post by: Yoshi64900 on July 19, 2009, 11:17:13 PM: Hey guys, im yoshi64900. Im k3's brother, and i used to play RA2, and stopped. I decided to build a bot.. Its unnamed for now, and i never got to skin it. It weighs 549.8 kgs, and i had the idea for something like this long before i ever saw something like drumblebee or any of the other drums.

Its a basic drum with stacked blacks.

Drumblebee is kinda easy. Try Drumblebee 2's design. :D

Post by: somestrangeguy on July 20, 2009, 07:41:50 AM: Ok, now I see the pictures. That could definetly use 4WD and Dumblebeetles weapon desing and some armor for the exposed front chassis parts.

Post by: R1885 on July 20, 2009, 02:35:25 PM: How many blacks?

Post by: man manu on July 20, 2009, 02:36:09 PM: First of all decent looking bot but always try to build to the weight limit. Also does that have stacked black batteries? If not then you really do need to get 1 or 2 more in there somewhere. As well as that I'd replace the three rows of razors with 2 rows of irons as irons have much more HP and are better for ramming.

Post by: kill343gs on July 20, 2009, 03:58:33 PM: It does in fact. He beat all of the Ratchet and Clank games for the PS2. All I beat was deadlocked...

Post by: infiniteinertia on July 20, 2009, 10:29:47 PM: RYNO would be great with a better side hammer setup and a wedge.
Title: Yoshis bots :D
Post by: Yoshi64900 on July 21, 2009, 07:33:19 PM: Alright, ill need to extend the chassis to fit the snapper for the wedge. Ill get to work xD

I knew it!

Deadlocked is the easiest game BTW, easier than Ratchet and clank 1.

And Inf, Ryno honestly would be a better name for a really good bot IMO...
