How could I Improve pt 2

For starters, ditch the axe. While it might seem like a good idea, it's really just wasting weight.

As for motors, 2 LEM-130s powered by 11x A123 Battlepacks should cover it.

Hardox can only be made as thin as 3.25mm. I would suggest replacing your current armour with that.

Here, I'll help you with the description of the Drillzilla crushing jaws:

weapon: A pair of crushing jaws, each which looks like the one used by Suicidal Tendencies, powered by a Vivoil Pump and LEM-130. Each jaw has a 3:1 ratio giving it 9 tonnes at the ram and 3 tonnes at the tip.

ok the final revised stats

weapons: A pair of crushing jaws, each which looks like the one used by Suicidal Tendencies, powered by a Vivoil Pump and LEM-130. Each jaw has a 3:1 ratio giving it 9 tonnes at the ram and 3 tonnes at the tip

thanks for the help mark, you really are a good mate :mrgreen: :proud:

hmm i might do some other weights soon :D 8) :o :) :P :twisted:

I'll post it in your stats area. Also watch your stats for another Extra Surprise...

*in high pitched kiddy voice* ooh i cant wait :rofl:

The surprise: You get the stats of my old and now-worthless(for me) robot Killertron Mach 2, now renamed Killer to prevent copyright issues.

Just let me find the stats...

ok heres another one im thinking of doing

Lian, I'd like to give you a bit of advice that another newcomer recieved:

The advice I wanna give you is to aim for quality rather than quantity. Unless you love to design as much robots you can in as little time possible I don't see the point of a VERY new vapourboteer like you owning 17 robots while you haven't even had the chance to use a single one of them yet. Throw in the fact that even the biggest majors only ask you to enter 8 robots and I see some serious overkill.

While your robots are seriously improving (though there's still 1 or 2 out there that have some majors flaws :proud:), they are mediocre at best and I feel they could be a whole lot better if you'd just concentrate on about 8 of them. If you had spent the same amount of time it took you to come up with 17 robots in perfecting just 8 of them, you would be a way more serious contender in the game of vapourbots :proud:

I can see you have the passion and you're certainly learning, you just need a bit more direction :proud:

ok thanks for that mark

as powerword luanch will be an upgrade for one of the bots i have now :P

Which one?

it will depend on the performance of either servant or druid
