Re: How could I Improve pt 2

You still have a weakness.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

I don't care. Besides the weakness, i there anything else that needs to be addressed?

Mark, you are being ridiculously stubborn for all the wrong reasons...

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

He may be, but if he still wants to put weaknesses in, let him.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

I don't really have an issue with Mark having a weakness in his stats. The only person it doesn't benefit is himself.

What I do have an issue with is the weakness being none.

He has stated his reasons for including a weakness. Something along the lines of every robot has a weakness and then puts Weaknesses: None in the stats.

That's what bothers me.

At the moment, it seems to be Weakness: Asks for advice and then ignores it. Sorry to be harsh, but that's how I see it.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

I'm not being ridiculously stubborn. It's just you guys not wanting me to reveal my weaknesses in my stats.

Tanked Up
Weight: 100kg
Shape: Panzer (S3)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CixaFEkHwg0
Colour: Green and brown Camouflage
Dimensions: 100cm x 75cm x 20cm
Drive: 4x 24v S28-400 Magmotors, powered by 6x NiCad Battlepacks.
Locomotion: 4 externally mounted solid rubber wheels with aluminum boron carbide hubs.
Armour: 4mm Hardox
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to spikes, 20mm at back, and 5mm at sides.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: At the front, there's a 3-pronged electric lifting spike at the front, powered by a 24v S28-150 Magmotor. It scrapes the arena floor, making it 0mm at the front. At the rear, there's a large 8kg horizontally-mounted titanium circular saw powered by a 24v S28-150 Magmotor. The blade spins at 1000rpm, and produces massive amounts of sparks when it touches titanium of any thickness.
Srimech: It is invertible.
Strengths: It looks cool.
Weaknesses: Exposed wheels

There we go...

Oops, that teaches me for not looking at his stats, I just saw Joey's message about it still having a weakness

...I knew me and Andy were becoming dangerously like one another but I didn't think it had spread that far

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

Whoops, my bad....AGAIN!!

Think I'm best calling it a night if I'm making such elementary stuff-ups

Meh, no problem

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

A new robot... From Israel, Tallit!!!

Tallit (Under Testing)
Weight: 150kg
Shape: A triangle shape, quite like Gabriel, only bigger. Much bigger...
Colour: White, with thin Gold and blue stripes.
Dimensions: 100cm x 60cm x 40cm
Drive: 2 48v E-Tek motors, powered by 10x NiCad Battlepacks
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Tallit good traction and pushing ability. The robot does run off of the nose cone.
Armour: 6mm Hardox monocoque
Speed: 15mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to nose scraping the floor, and 0mm at sides and back due to 3.25mm Hardox skirts. 5mm without skirts.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: A rear-hinged electric lifting arm, powered by an LEM-200. It can lift 300kg 50cm into the air.
Srimech: The lifting arm.
Strengths: Shuffler, uses weight advantage, actually has a powerful electric lifting arm.
Weaknesses: The first Israeli bot, could have major faults.
Bio: The first ever vapour specifically designed to represent Israel in the World Championships.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

...are you actually aware of what it means to run off the nose cone? I see no nose cone in the stats...

[corsair_lightning]

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

Modified stats:

Tallit (Testing)
Weight: 150kg
Shape: A triangle shape, quite like Gabriel, however the nose is rounded to allow the robot to run off of it.
Colour: White, with thin Gold and blue stripes.
Dimensions: 100cm x 60cm x 40cm
Drive: 2 48v E-Tek motors, powered by 10x NiCad Battlepacks, giving me an average of 30hp.
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Tallit good traction and pushing ability. The robot does run off of the nose cone.
Armour: 6mm Hardox monocoque
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due to nose scraping the floor, and 0mm at sides and back due to 3.25mm Hardox skirts. 5mm without skirts.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: A rear-hinged electric lifting arm, powered by an LEM-200. It can lift 300kg 50cm into the air.
Srimech: The lifting arm.
Strengths: Shuffler, uses weight advantage, has an actually powerful electric lifting arm.
Weaknesses: Could have major faults.
Bio: The first ever vapour specifically designed to represent Israel in the World Championships, Tallit is a shuffler, and is prepared to do a whole lot of flipping with its actually powerful electric lifting arm.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

...right...I couldn't say much earlier due to time and strange conversations, but having discussed it with a few people I have the following advice to offer:

1) It's a Gabriel clone...that's much bigger...and yet smaller in length and width? The nose needn't be rounded, in these infinitely low and flat arenas in fanfic you can have your nose as pointy as you like.

2) This whole nose cone thing...I've noticed it come up once or twice in your stats since I used it in Gabriel V, and while it's not bad that you've copied the feature from me, I am concerned a bit that you don't exactly know what youre on about...shuffling pads and feet tend to be by their very nature supportive of the whole robot, so you won't be running on the nose of the robot as such (you'll have to either hinge it or raise the front of the pads up - and therefore lose some traction - in order to get it to touch the ground)

3) You have two Eteks, a LEM200, a 6mm Hardox monocoque, and it's somehow 150kg? I smell a slight scent of overweight...

I'm not sure why it has such a massive Israeli connection either...there's no world championships running that I know of atm, while I admire your future-proofing of the design I fear that with your impatience it'll be retired long before one comes up.

Re: How could I Improve pt 2

I modified it again...

Tallit (Testing, Extra)
Weight: 150kg
Shape: A triangle shape, quite like Gabriel.
Colour: White, with thin Gold and blue stripes.
Dimensions: 120cm x 90cm x 40cm
Drive: 2 36v LEM-170 motors, powered by 9x NiCad Battlepacks, giving me an average of 26hp.
Locomotion: 2 Drillzilla-style shuffling feet at the rear, giving Tallit good traction and pushing ability. The robot also has a caster underneath the nose to allow maximum traction on the floor..
Armour: 5.75mm Hardox monocoque
Speed: 20mph
Ground Clearance: 0mm at front due semi-wedge shape, and 0mm at sides and back due to 5mm titanium skirts. 5mm without skirts.
Turning Circle: 0m
Weapons: A rear-hinged electric lifting arm, powered by 2 36v LEM-130 motors. It can lift 200kg 50cm into the air.
Srimech: The lifting arm.
Strengths: Shuffler, uses weight advantage, has an actually powerful electric lifting arm.
Weaknesses: Could have major faults.
Bio: The first ever vapour specifically designed to represent Israel in the World Championships, Tallit is a shuffler, and is prepared to do a whole lot of flipping with its actually powerful electric lifting arm.

And If you're wondering, (Testing) means the stats are being modified for finalization, and (Extra) means bots that are not technically mine.
