Finally finished my arena idea I've had

Image
Image

45'x45' arena, mostly hazard-less. Robots start in the corners to make box rushing a bit more difficult. There's a 2 foot gap between the inner and outer walls, and the lexan is multi-layered and extremely thick. The red walls are 1.5 ft tall, meaning that with a bit of luck, 3+ powered flippers, 6+ powered vertical spinners, as well as Heavyweight (and maybe MW?) lifters and clampers are potentially able to get opponents stranded, or even OOTA them on the eastern wall. the purple extentions raise the wall height to 3'2", something that only powerful flippers and vertical spinners will be able to capitalize on. the floor does have seams, though they should not present a major issue that often

Image

here Hazardous Waste Removal and Zenith demonstrate appropriate starting positions for opposing robots

Image

and for scale, here's Cuddle Time! to show you what a Lightweight would look like in the starting square.

Nice, looks like we both did arena ideas! This one looks very good as a very Robogames-styled one, though I do have to wonder how the spectators would be able to see in with the metal fences as high as they are.

I quite like this arena. No annoying hazards to get in the way. Alex V's is basically a flipper's dream come true :v:

To be fair, Robot Wars was essentially what I was brought up on, so it only stands to reason that I'd be mostly be drawing inspiration from that. So Genghis and Doctor Cadaver could be worth including in the next version if I was feeling up to it. :P

That being said though, those sorts of issues were why I was kind of on the fence about including the Killsaws and Ramrods, so I may take those out to increase the amount of space available to move around in and have it be more its own unique venue on ARC, with (mostly) different hazards and other stuff to the usual ARC arena.

We have the Doctor for our Dead Metal, and Genghis as our Sir Killalot, who would be the Matilda and Shunt of ARC? :P

Not entirely sure about Shunt, but Daemon Tellu or Teresa might be a good ARC Matilda. :P

About halfway done with a lockjaw clone that I'm calling Spectral Pudding. top jaw's being a pain to work through though so IDK when I'll actually get around to completing it. mostly I had a good idea for the name and therefore wanted to record it somewhere, though I'll happily take advice on any fuckups I've made thus far, as well as how the weapon should work with the rules.

Image

WIP of the jaws. I have the botton half done :V . I'm debating how to best represent the system in stats, but I imagine the flipper power would be somehow related to how quickly the winch retracts the jaw - or would it just be a set speed no matter the weapon power? at any rate it's a flipper that stays open until I retract it, with the obvious intent of flipping my opponent over and then grabbing their flipped rear end and shoving it to a hazard, hence the pounds of torque.

Speed: 8
Traction: 6
Torque: 6
Weapon: 2/1 under R4 rules because otherwise reassigning weapon to armor bonuses becomes a problem in the other config
Armor: 8/9 under R4

Image

hey hey hey this design is delicate so a fuck spinners wedge is a good idea :V

Speed: 8
Traction: 6
Torque: 6
Weapon: 0
Armor: 8 (+2 wedge)/9(+1 wedge) under R4

That's looking pretty good so far. Reminds me a lot of King B Remix with those front forks and the four wheel drive, actually&#33;

Spring tension flipper/grabber. the entire weapon assembly is hinged, which means it's got a good deal of weight in it when it comes to wedge wars. alternate configuration is a bigass ABR plow mounted on the same hinge that the weapon is. invertable, and can self right in the same manner that lockjaw can.

Speed: 8
Traction: 6
Torque: 6
Weapon: 2/0
Armor: 8/10(+2 wedge)

the weapon retraction works like this btw: http://i.imgur.com/SsblzuS.gif
