Individual posts of each bot coming eventually.

Currently Omnicrap is the only bot to get a sequel, Family lifetime record: 3-3

TO DO:
  • Robot Designed Specifically For OOTA Wins
  • Sequel to Evil Destroyer
  • Über Deathammer
  • Jumping Robot
  • Robot w/3 Armor or something like that
  • Hovercrap 2: Supercharged Boogaloo
  • Full-body Horizontal Clamp
  • Clusterf@ck
  • Power Flipper
  • Nick Cage Robot
  • Swiss Army Knife Robot
  • Actual Swiss Army Knife Robot
  • BRICK
  • Death Flipper
  • Snek
  • Wedge bot but the plow is actually a drum spinner
  • An actual attempt at an effective bot
  • BRICK 2
  • Side-hinged Flipper
  • More Cheap Turreted Robots
  • Robot too crazy to even loosely fall under any archetype

Lets procrastinate from writing fights by making this, fuck yeah!

I want to keep this organized, so lets start from the beginning.

OMNICRAP
Image
Full album

Events:
REDDIT
Stats:
  • Speed: 8
  • Traction: 7
  • Torque: 3
  • Weapon: 5
  • Armor: 7(+1 to weapon)
Record: 3-3

Current status: Retired.
Successor: Omnicrap 2.0

My first bot, it had 6 Omniwheels for that juicy holomonic drive, hinged side skirts, a 4-bar lifter with 5 variants of shitty wedges. It could also change the linkage for the lifter. It could not self right, AT ALL. I actually wanted to flank stuff with it, too bad that the slowest bot it fought had 6 speed.
It made the playoffs placing 3rd in it's group, only to fight a flipper in the first playoff round, guess how that went.

Notable moments: Doing decently in it's (and my) first fight against Richter, HFL's bot that end up winning the entire thing, only for it to get flipped :V
Getting KOed by a 11 powered spinner.

Fun Facts:
  • It was my first bot and first CAD ever, it took me like 2 hours to make with no experience at all.
  • I learned about REDDIT two days before the submission deadline, so this thing was kinda rushed.
  • Yes, i was aware that it could not self right when i entered it in.
  • This wasn't my original plan for REDDIT, i was going to enter a walking turreted hammer (that ended up getting made, called Pressure Flop) but i figured that this would be more fun and kinda less cheap.

Fuck i should actually continue this thing

I can't believe that there was no robot that i made that actually competed in between Omnicrap and Hovercrap as they where made like half a year apart and i made some stuff in the mean time, anyways.
Might make a post about those things that never where.

Hovercrap
Image
Full album

Events:
ICECrown
Stats:
  • Speed: 4
  • Traction: 1
  • Torque: 1
  • Weapon: 17 (-1 for each)
  • Armor: 7
Record: 3-3

Current status: Reserve

Its a fucking hovercraft, equipped with 2 counter rotating ring spinners connected to the same engine, which also powers the propellers that move the bot. The bot has a mechanism that lowers the speed off one of the rings relative to the other and that is the turning mechanism for this bot, as if i where to make it turn like a normal hovercraft i wouldn't have a 0° turning circle and i would be royally screwed if i where to end up against a wall facing it.
The engine is prepared to not stall shall it end upside down, allowing for the bot to use the srimech pole on the back which proven to not actually work but it looks cool i guess.
I should make a newer version of this thing at some point.

Notable moments: Looking dope.
Somehow finishing the event without a negative record.
got ranked 5th before the event, meaning that people actually believed in this thing somehow.

Fun Facts:
  • The engine is a supercharged V8, to be more specific a miniaturized copy of an LS engine.
  • Dope looking shit.
  • Obviously not a serious entry for my second event.
  • Doesn't actually have a reverse.
  • If you look closely at the rear view renders you may notice that it isn't 100% symmetrical for some reason. IDK why tbh, the entire thing was on a mirror modifier so idk.

Another big gap, but not as big.
CBC3 was my first major even though i have been on ARC for a while by the time that thing happened.
Evil Destroyer V2 is technically an update not a new bot so its not getting its own post, it will just be here :V

Evil Destroyer

Events:
CBC3

Older album
Stats:
  • Speed: 1
  • Traction: 1
  • Torque: 1
  • Weapon: 21(15 spinner/ 5 turret/ 1 lifter)
  • Armor: 7
Record: 4-4

Thunder Underground
Image
Current version's album
Stats:
  • Speed: 1
  • Traction: 1
  • Torque: 1
  • Weapon: 22(14 spinner / 7(5 normal turret / 5 pneumatic turret) / 1 telescopic lifter thing)
  • Armor: 7
High power config:
  • Weapon: 21(16 spinner / 4(3 normal turret / 3 pneumatic turret) / 1 telescopic lifter thing)
  • Armor: 8(+1 to weapon shock mounting or whatever i need to give an armor bonus to reduce weapon self-damage)
Record: The event hasn't started yet kiddo

Current status: Signed up


Shuffling turreted monstrosity, to be more precise is a horizontal spinner mounted on a turret that also has a lifter that move the entire turret up and down.
Evil Destroyer V2 changed from a shuffler to a walker because i needed one more point for the new addition: the pneumatic turret, this is basically a pneumatic system that moves the turret in a powerful burst like if it was a flipper, this disengages the normal turret mechanism temporarily so it doesn't self destruct :P

Notable moments: Starting the event at 1-3 even though it was supposed to be my best bot.
Managing to barely squeeze into playoffs anyways, as a 9th seed so it went on the eliminator.
There it fought and won against the cluster bot Phobos Anomaly in the stupidest match of the event. citation needed
Only to draw in the first round the eventual champion Blood Eagle and my stupid strat of sniping his weapon mount didn't work enough.

Fun Facts:
  • I somehow came up with the idea as a counter to drum spinners as there where a lot on the event it was originally going to be in. The lifter part came later.
  • That event being Thunder Underground which got cancelled, until it didn't and ED V2 is going to be there.
  • The font the name is written is the edgiest font i could find.
  • The pneumatic turret was an idea i had a while before making the original version, the bot i was going to put it in was quite different and i might make it some day.
  • The name was stolen off a badass song from an old game.
