@Nary: I said I was expected to do well, not that I actually would.

I have a prototype up and running. AGOD killed the first attempt at a build, got it perfect the second time round.

I'm either going to use Rodney The Cube or an un-named cube bot that's kinda a rip off of Dr. Inerno Jr.

Oh man, a HW flipper... that's gonna be hard. Especially because I've never even tried to build one. It could be worse though; at least I didn't get Doom Dreidel or Vroom, or a bot with sledgehammers.

Somebody · « **Reply #164 on:** December 12, 2010, 09:49:47 PM »

Or mine...

Yours might be possible to make good, or at least decent. Maybe use angle motors for the face spinners? It would probably be more stable that way.

Or you could do a juggler-type face spinner, but the spinners would be on short hammers, so they could fire and hit bots underneath it, but they would be positioned in such a way that they could also be used as regular face spinners. Not sure if that would stray too far from the original design though.

Anyways, there's a lot of stuff you could do with a FS hammer if you think outside the box.

Hmm RADs did cross my mind. I'll see what I can come up with.

Sorry, Doom, I truly am.

After much experimenting (okay, an hour or two), I think the endless existence route is the only way to go in stock. I did manage to get one to stay balanced for a full 6 seconds once using a HPZ, but then it fell over and never moved again.

anyway, Guess it's time to figure out how to make an efficient bot in stock. i'm sure i'll be joining the losers bracket quickly

JoeBlo · « **Reply #172 on:** December 13, 2010, 04:22:05 AM »

only problem with Endless Existence is.. not even I can AI it :P

Doomkiller · « **Reply #173 on:** December 13, 2010, 04:48:28 AM »

I might have an Idea for it, but its gona suck

RedAce · « **Reply #174 on:** December 13, 2010, 04:58:39 AM »

I didn't see I was in, but there's one thing I don't know how to do.

NFX · « **Reply #175 on:** December 13, 2010, 08:10:19 AM »

Got a prototype. This whole "Bar" rule is killing my weapon setup. I'll be trashed by anything remotely good, so I'll send something cool-looking instead.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #176 on:** December 13, 2010, 10:50:44 AM »

LOL at Badnik's bot

Scorpion · « **Reply #177 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:13:44 PM »

Erm, I have to ask, I don't have to keep wild cube as a cube, otherwise it kinda loses the point of it being a cube

G.K. · « **Reply #178 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:14:31 PM »

Cube is preferable but not required.

Scorpion · « **Reply #179 on:** December 13, 2010, 12:20:15 PM »

Hmmm, maybe a cuboid then ;P
I've already got the name for it atleast
