You probably wont listen to me, but I think its not overweight.

But I do think the old Hatchet was rubbish, so this looks like a major improvement.

Your right, I wont listen to you.

And that criticism us a bit rich coming from the mind that cant even make a vapour without stealing someone elses idea

I think you maybe reading the wrong stats, Hatchet: Evo has no scoop

[kodster]

How Could I Improve...

That would be mine. :P

But if it displeases you, I will change that Generic skin, since theres no way in hell you would join for the hell of it. :P

EDIT: Generic skin has been modified.

Cant really see how you can run an axe off a rack and pinion from an electric motor...otherwise good.

One problem: B42s dont really exist. :-O

Aaron brought in a farfetched idea about B42-500 MagMotors a few years ago and generally everybody accepted that they were real...until people did some researching and found out they didnt exist. The closest thing to those are BFA42s, but theyre not as powerful as LEM200s.


The B42 series of Magmotors did in fact exist, they use to be branded under the name of Bxx-yyy (xx replaced with the model number 42 in this case, then yyy winding rating, 500 in this case). They changed the branding of the motors over the last few years. Research would have lead you to http://web.archive.org/web/200308271...m/B42.htmhere.

OK, so I thank everyone for helping me with my heavyweights. Now, I need a little bit of help with my other-weight robots.

Wrangulator (FW)

Weight: 10 kilos
Body Shape: Diamond Shaped, a bit like Eye Of Newt from the Series 3 pinball tournament.
Speed: 20mph
TC: 0
GC: 0 under each wedge, 4mm otherwise.
Wheels: 2 inner.
Power: It has similar to what powers Rip.
Armour: 2mm aluminium
Colour: Dark Grey.
Weapons: A wedge at each end, tipped with a miniture blade. Because of the way the wheels are positioned, the robot can tip from one wedge to the other. The robot also has spikes on the side of these wedges. To use these, it spins on the spot, lifting both wedges off the ground and lifting the spikes in the air.
Srimech: Invertable.
Strengths: Fairly powerful.
Weaknesses: Armour.

Little Big Bot (LW)

Weight: 22 kilos
Body Shape: Looks a bit like Biohazard, without the skirts.
Speed: 15mph
TC: 0
GC: 2mm.
Wheels: 4 inner.
Power: 2 12v batteries, plus couple Magmotors... the usual.
Armour: 3mm titanium
Colour: Yellow top, Green sides, Red LBB letters on each side.
Weapons: Nasty axe with Dominator 2 style point.
Srimech: Uses the axe for that.
Strengths: Weapon.
Weaknesses: Lack of experience.

Tom (MW)

Weight: 50 kilos.
Body Shape: Basic wedge.
Speed: 14mph
TC: 0
GC: 0 at wedge, 3mm otherwise.
Wheels: 2 inner.
Power: 3x 12v batteries, plus Magmotors.
Armour: 5mm titanium.
Colour: Painted after the cartoon cat after whom it is named. You work it out.
Weapons: Front flipper, which can throw five times the robots weight into the air.
Srimech: The flipper does that. It also has whiskers and a tail to prevent side and back strandings.
Strengths: Weapon.
Weaknesses: Jerry!

Octo-Push 3 (SHW)

Weight: 150 kilos
Body Shape: Box Wedge shape, basically. A bit like Minion, I guess.
Speed: 10mph
TC: 0
GC: 0 at front, 3mm around sides, 2mm where disc is.
Wheels: 6 semi-outer (protected).
Power: Same stuff Storm 2 uses.
Armour: 3mm Steel.
Colour: Aqua green, light blue and light green wheel protectors. The spinning drum has a light blue top and dark blue sides. Two yellow Octopus eyes are attached by springs to the robot.
Weapons: Front wedge and massive rear Drum, spinning at 1000 RPM. Think of it as Storm 2 meets Revolutionist meets Squidward Tentacles.
Srimech: ....you know, Im not even going to bother. Something that large would need a miracle to overturn, BOTH ways.
Strengths: Power, weapon.
Weaknesses: No srimech.

To be completely honest, Im thinking of giving Octo-Push a complete overhaul.

Either way, some advice from anyone would be greatly appriciated. If your name is AJ, Steven or Joey, then that would be especially nice, because all three of you have given me great guidance in the past. If your name is Mark Elam, then iss-pay ff-oay!
