Title: Zirikki's Bots

Prometheus:

Good weapons, but unwieldy and unstable. I unfortunately ran out out weight and got sloppy. :(

I'll hopefully post more bots soon!

Hmm. Not too shabby. Good first post. You seem to have been lurking for a while.

Lurking seems to be good actually, you get a better start when you start posting it seems. I don't really have much to say about it, maybe you could just go down to 6 spikes instead of 12 so you can upgrade the drive to redbirds. Those motors are more for LW bots than MW ones, unless it does fine with them.

EDIT: Congratulations on 1,000 posts sage. :D

The motors seem far too high and the extenders are very vulnerable.

You can use the side attachement points on the extenders and make them double-stacked that way too, but it wouldn't change weight or anything. Good bot.

Prometheus 2.0:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91271prometh2.bmp)
It still has stability issues, but I think this is about the best I can do with this chassis.

Definitely an Improvement, how well does it do against other bots?

It does good, but it loses weapons quick and has trouble with getting spun around and hit in the back.

Looks good though.

if im not mistaken, Prometheus is a cyclops in The Oddessy. Perhaps you should name a one motored bot prometheus, cause then it would make more sense.

unless they are names that have been used specifically. I doubt he came up with prometheus unless he knew who they thing was. If you make up a name, then its fine. But if you use a name from somewhere else, there's usually a reason for it.

Prometheus is a Titan. Polyphemus is a Cyclope.

And then the Hecatinchires. (Hundred handed people)

Perfect for driving any 50 part multibot you can come up with!

I'm lucky that I remember that from 3 months ago. Too bad I couldn't remember it on the midterm...

That's a LOT of beetleweights against just one MW.

I was kind of thinkink something like this: There is a cardboard box, somehow the front drops, AND IT IS FULL OF TINY BOTS!!! And then they bury the other bot and win.

Thread ruined.

Also SB this is called a "zerg rush".

Post by: Condor33 on December 18, 2008, 08:59:18 PM
Why? Was there a bot called Zerg that did this?

Never heard of a game called Starcraft?

@Condor:Zerg rush (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=zerg%20rush)

Prometheus 3.0:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79897prometh3.bmp)
Invertable, DSA, 1 black batt & 12 razors
I might switch the positions of the drive and weapon motors, but for now I'm satisfied with it. It's still unstable, but invertability makes that less of a problem.

definitely switch the drive and weapon  motors, but otherwise very good.

Demonic Ice Climber:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73111dic.bmp)
DSA, 2 Blacks, 36 picks, invertable.

This was a failure. The drive havocs all the time and the weapons don't stand up to 36 iron. Oh well. At least it's unique and looks cool.
Title: Zirikki's Bots
Post by: Sage on January 03, 2009, 11:35:10 AM
well, its underweight for one. put on some front armor... or double the drive.
Title: Zirikki's Bots
Post by: somestrangeguy on January 03, 2009, 12:45:27 PM
I can sense that having trouble turning, extra pair of wheels of widened wheelbase could help.

ice picks fail when attached that way.

Because only the point does damage.
