How Could I Improve...

I didnt steal it!

However, I am working on refining it.

Side Swipe
Weight: 110kg
Shape: Panzer (S3) with a Tornado style wedge on the front
Colour: Silver
Dimensions: 85cm x 60cm x 0-39cm since there is a wedge on the front.
Drive: 2x TWM3R Team Whyachi gearboxes connected to 2x S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 6x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 84cm x 10cm x 41cm titanium tank tracks.
Armour: 7mm Titanium/Vanadium alloy
Speed: 16mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to wedge, at sides due to skirts over the tracks. 5mm at back. 5mm at sides without skirts.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapon: A 7kg Terrorhurtz style axehead, for use as a thwackbot weapon.
Srimech: Invertible

Any ideas for improvement?

You wont get any sort of thwackbot effect from tracks unless you use the worlds most insane motors, which would result in your batteries imploding instantly from the current.
Also, why does your robot change its height suddenly because of the wedge? Is it a magic wedge?

Liam - check your PMs inbox on Kodys forum.

Has Mark been reading System Shocks stats? Because its a clone of my robot with an axe on it

what does panzer of series 3 look like again?

Okay....

Its still a clone of System Shock...

A box with massive mini-digger tracks sticking out either side. Yellow and black stripes, didnt move at all in the heat L final against Evil Weevil.

EDIT *sigh* ...Mark, there is a very good reason you almost never see thwackbots that have more than two wheels. The concept just wont work.

Liam, I promise you I did not steal it.

EDIT: I am 100% serious that I didnt steal it. I just thought a Panzer-shaped robot would be the way to go.

And no, I havent looked at Systematic Shockers stats.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

Mark, nobody believes you. You cant construct good stats, you CANT write decent battles, you cant even make ONE promise without breaking it...quite frankly, youre useless. And beyond the point of recovery at that.

Basically, go away and STAY away!

I have called in Mark Lumb to deal with this, instead of blowing up on the spot.

Yes, a RESPECTABLE Mark. Unlike you.

And also an INTELLIGENT Mark - given hes built Big Nipper, Little Hitter, Little Flipper and has won countless awards with each of them, he must be clever.

Isnt there a Little Spinner as well, or is that someone else?

And about time, really...

Oh yes - Mark Lumb has Little Spinner as well :proud:

And all the Nipper teams machines are of an impressively high standard of engineering - if I end up getting drawn against one next weekend though, I hope it breaks down :proud:

i have a novel idea that works in real life. if everybody just completly ignored Mark Elam he would soon stop posting. i think now he does all this posting on purpose to get attention, be it negative attention. so just dont give any attention at all. full stop. .

ignore who?

Before I start ignoring Mark, as Im about to, I must say to him- you obviously did look at Systematic Shockers stats, because that version hasnt fought yet, the only place the name is mentioned is above its stats. So you copied it.

What were we talking about???

Can someone check this please?

Looks alright to me, although theres nothing in the stats to suggest it wont get stuck on its side.

Read it again, Joey:proud:

I think its fine - very, VERY impressive in terms of flipper weaponry and design. Today, I plan to open up E.O.T.R 5, and leave the Challenge Belt and All-Stars on hold, and I would be VERY pleased to see Apocalypse compete.

Very nice edit there, well executed. :proud:

EDIT: Paul, I plan on debuting the secret project I forced...uh, asked Kody to help with in EOTR5, so itd better be good and non-hypothetical :P

Thankyou very much Paul, I just entered!!

Is there an advantage of having an FBS instead of a ring spinner?

Im wondering beacuse there seem to be a lot of ring spinners, and I would rather do an FBS beacuse of this

A FBS has a heavier shell, but needs a self-righter, while a ring spinner can run inverted. Having an FBS is more damaging as theres a greater mass spinning but for the purpose of keeping your robot moving, a ring spinner helps.

The terminology confuses me a bit...Im assuming you mean FBS as in something with a spinning outer shell, which Id call a shell spinner. Personally, Id call an FBS something where the entire body rotates - like No Objections - but meh. :P

Those are called translational spinners. :proud:

Yes, but No Objections doesnt translate :proud: so what should it be called? Fred?

Lost In Translation? :proud:

:lol: ...Kody, Kody, Kody...stop making me laugh and finish off my CAD, would you? :P

I will, I will. The chevron pattern on your flipper is kind of time-consuming. :P

Is the replacement for Hatchet overweight?

http://strickenone.proboards99.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=teamww&thread=193&p age=1http://strickenone.proboards99.com/i...teamww&thread= 193&page=1

You probably wont listen to me, but I think its not overweight.

But I do think the old Hatchet was rubbish, so this looks like a major improvement.

One problem: B42s dont really exist. :proud:

Aaron brought in a farfetched idea about B42-500 MagMotors a few years ago and generally everybody accepted that they were real...until people did some researching and found out they didnt exist. The closest thing to those are BFA42s, but theyre not as powerful as LEM200s.

EDIT: Mark, quit trying to give advice, because you dont know anything about TAKING advice let alone giving it.

Your right, I wont listen to you.

And that criticism us a bit rich coming from the mind that cant even make a vapour without stealing someone elses idea

Lots of HP

Since when were we in an RPG? :P

That;s horsepower, Joey. :P

Sorry, blonde moment :P

Whos bright idea was it to make a forum with green letters on a grey background?

Anyhow, The shape puzzels me a little. its 60*60*20 but has a scoop of 50cm long and 3cm wide?
