October 11, 200520 yr Author go here before replying www.battlebotsiq.org then http://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_motorsmisc.html
October 11, 200520 yr Have you tried the various robot wars homepages ? I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
October 11, 200520 yr In all of the Battle Bots challenges I’ve seen the spinners have always seemed to do real good. The key is to get them to start spinning at extreme RPM’s as quickly as possible. Not building up the revolutions fast enough and rapid enough is the spinner’s downfall. Tsel
October 12, 200520 yr I would put a big ass laser on it. Ow ow and needles full of anthrax, yeah that would be sweet.
October 12, 200520 yr And needles full of anthrax, yeah that would be sweet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 'Cause everyone knows that a robot's weakness is anthrax! Anyways, go with the spinners idea. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
October 12, 200520 yr And needles full of anthrax, yeah that would be sweet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 'Cause everyone knows that a robot's weakness is anthrax! Anyways, go with the spinners idea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I though more along the lines of shooting it at the dude controlling the other robot. Oh yeah. You have to be one step ahead, that
October 12, 200520 yr I'm sorry, I'm not a BattleBots wiz like you. I just assumed that it's against the rules to shoot lethal viruses at other competitors. Topic Starter: You're lucky. You get to make robots! All I got to do was build coathangers and hat racks.... Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
October 12, 200520 yr Make one that doesn't need to be on one side to move. As in, make it 'unflippable'.
October 12, 200520 yr Make one that doesn't need to be on one side to move. As in, make it 'unflippable'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good idea my friend
October 12, 200520 yr It should have a katana and jet packs to fly around. The jets (at full blast) will also give more power to the ultimate katana attack (preceded with cool effects) in the dive towards the victim. Spreading beauty with my katana.
October 12, 200520 yr Try one that splits slides under it's opponent and lifts tossing it into a hazard... If that doesn't work watch the old shows, "Biohazard" and "Subject to change without notice" did extremly well. Yes this used to be a show on Comedy Central. Donno what happened to it, I think it got turned into TLC's robot wars or somthing. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
October 12, 200520 yr Author so how many of you actually read the rules? Edited October 13, 200520 yr by dg_war
October 12, 200520 yr Whoah....don't quote all our posts there, buddy. And I'm guessing no one read the rules. I was simply going along with the crowd. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
October 12, 200520 yr I suggest adding a thermonuclear device to the bot and then getting a remote with gps. Far more efficient than being present and just flipping bots. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 12, 200520 yr I'm not really that interested until they get to Battlemech size. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
October 12, 200520 yr Ah, when we get to the Mad Cat sizewise, I'll be the first one in line for a pilot. Though your general patlabor goes a long way to the right direction too. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

October 13, 200520 yr Eh... I prefer Dire Wolves over Timbers... Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
October 13, 200520 yr we can dream can't we? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
October 13, 200520 yr I remember those low discs/domes that get under other bots by charging them, and then flipping/knocking them on their side did very well. Or a wedge, barring that.

You want something that can cut and drill. I suggest make a spikey ladybug design. Explanation: lets go on the outside to the inside. You want a durable but mallable plastic covering. It will give in but won't break. Its primary weapon should be a simply high grade chain saw, but should have a secondary weapon to protect itself. That is where the Spiky comes in. On the central engine have drill bit expensions that covers it. High powered drills can do wonders against tires and tracks in rammed in at the right place and makes your opponent think twice from ramming you.
