Dude, Fatal Error is fucking sweet. It reminds me of one of britespark's older robots, Monsoon.

Really do like the looks of Fatal Error too, it's got a pretty decent design for a power flipper there. Should put on a good showing if it's entered into a tournament.

I like Fatal Error, the design looks good, any protective skirts on the sides?

If something starts to take aim at my sides I'll probably reverse and turn so it runs straight into my flipper.

I got some (poorly attached) teeth for the shark. I'll have to completely remodel the shell to attach them properly.

Image

I just realized I never statted this thing. I'll work on that when I have the patience for it.


In other news, I'm starting to like the blue/white color scheme, so I made this thing. I call it Sheer Cold. Yes, the Pokemon reference was intentional, and like the move it's named after it probably won't actually land any OHKOs.

Image

2WD melty brain with hinged wedges to scoop up opponents and then deal damage with the flat part at the top. Basically a bar spinner minus the chassis.

Proposed stats:
-Speed: 12
-Traction: 3
-Torque: 1
-Weapon: 8
-Armor: 6

I've allocated armor under the assumption that smart thwacks are treated like shell spinners when determining weapon armor. Please let me know if that's not the case. Also, does torque contribute to spin-up time on these things? Because if so I'll have to re-do all of these stats. I've gone with low traction on purpose to ensure that Sheer Cold gets knocked away after a hit so it can get up to speed again safely. By minimizing 2 stats, I was able to concentrate on speed and weapon without completely neglecting armor.

Interesting and unique idea, though.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

I took another look at Suplex and realized I could have done better, so I went ahead and gave it a complete re-imagining. Here's Suplex 2:
Image

Same basic concept as the original, but better executed. Ditched the spherical wheels for normal ones. The entire bot is lower to the ground, and the spindley parts are beefed up. The clamping arm now works more like a lifting arm that happens to be able to clamp stuff, and has spikes on the sides for spin-thwacking (now I want to add a wedge to it so it can actually be used as a lifting arm. Why didn't I think of this before rendering?). Also, the paint job is looking significantly nicer than before.

Proposed stats:
-Speed: 6
-Traction: 6
-Torque: 3
-Weapon: 5
-Armor: 10

Damn that's cool. I love this almost circuit-esque paintscheme you have on this one and Fatal Error.

Looks like a very cool design there. With the lifting arm idea, I think it'd have more of a chance to lift itself up rather than its opponent, given how long it is, but it should be an interesting idea with this to see how it does. I'm liking your work so far, it's gonna be interesting to see where you can go with some more knowledge of the metagame.

It's cool, but like NFX stated above it could be a bit more practical. The wedge looks like it reaches out further than the thwack, so it might disrupt that. I guess if the lifter is the main focus, then it makes the thwack issue less.

Still, good job&#33;
