    building a big AND compact bot is cerainly hard, and you made a really good work doing that, your bot is big but not hollow, but "compact" is also quite subjective, for example someone can argue that the 8043 is really compact due to having 6 functions with 4 motors, but it has some empty space in it, so what someone can think of your build is "that is a great punch function, but it is good because it is well build or because it needs 2 L motors and 2 servo motors? (correct me i don't remember the numbers) maybe mammoth system is better/more compact using only 2 motors?" and other things like that. about size i judge as asked, there is the likeliness to win a battle criteria, and this is a combat robot contest, so i just need to think about all other bot of same size when i need to give points for "likeliness to win a battle" and big bots will be treated as small bot: same class of opponents so the best one will win. and this is like in real life. looks and signature aren't so influenced by size because yes, having a lot of space can lead to a more detailed armor, but it is harder so better look=better quality, while the signature move should be judged out of combat: is that spinner powerful? it doesn't break itself? it is good, no matter it can't break other legos

    I use old 9V for my spinners, but 1:6 M motors are fine too (like ochayedonald's bots), RC motors use too much power for the rpm they gives, they are just "mechanically" cheapier but not as good as old 9V with low friction support (managed to have 2000+ rpm without worrying about power consumption of weapons while spinning up) so I think power of a robot is more or less power of its design, for example thumper and powerspin have different motors and sizes but their power is almost the same (high mass vertical and horizontal spinner) lsame thing: despite being different harvester of sorrow and pancake have a really similar power to nibbler (low mass spinner) But what i've seen reading voting comments is that lots of people voted for their own criteria and this is good because the winner should appear good for really different voters, not only be good at one thing (like the power of a RC motor)

    OK tanks, I will stop writing even suggestions, I had no intention to post score I know that is not fair for who want to keep the suspance and maybe also influence voting
  4. PKW
    I' using a program to calculate votes...removed. Is this is too much Jim? Should I remove this?
  5. PKW
    Regicide is just not too powerful, I think SoA impact speed and look affect the "low vote" factor for maximum impact, go read the voting topic, you are wrong ;)
  6. PKW
    What do you mean with powerful bots? I may can help with this "noticed" though, also some contestants are really close with points, there will be a real fight to choose who will be the winner, keep voting! Also Jim contest are usually publicised in the front page, why not this time?
  7. PKW
    Also you can change gear to modify speed, also your bot is not too slow, but some 4wd steer faster ;)

    I'll try to control it via ir, I think only skill is required (i'm rc-anything driver/racer since I was a child) because I was able to drive sbrick with 100% and I really can't stand no physical feedback Well.. can't say how many liftarms/exposed gearing i've broked due to too strong spinning weapon

    I i win i would certainly build @Marxpek bot and film some fight, I love that bot and already almost built it, also xerion wheels are really useful for trial trucks (one of the few wheels without a contiguous rubber surface that doesn't grip on dirt) and I will finally perform well near real rc trial trucks!
  10. PKW
    Well that is empty and just simplify the work of others (yes voting criteria as liveliness to win a battle are not ther) but the lack of some criteria is not proper influence I think But thanks really helpful!
  11. PKW
    how sorry not to answer before, as for "armed by gravity" you mean the moving yellow gear on ldd right? not it si not armed by gravity, the purple moving part is connected to a rubberband that pushes it on the gears with the result that the gears are pushed "down" but even if upside down the gearing are connected, as for the srimech, the two strange horns at the back nd of the arm are there to make the bot move correctly while reloading when upside down, without that the bot can't self right if not with the weapon pre loaded (due to CoM on the back) I also want to talk about the likeliness to win a battle criteria there are several way a flipper can win a battle: 1) flipping a non invertible opponent 2) damaging internal components of the opponent due to high stress caused by hard-landing 3) throwing a bot out of the arena walls (robot wars) or getting it stick on the arena wall (battlebots) 4) my robot can use the arm as a spear, that would be more powerful than other rubberband based weapon in this competition (i'm not sure about wimbledoom one but i have a lot of power with a really point edge) 5)judges' decision (if the battle time ends) and i can say i HAVE THE VOTE OF A JUDGE!!! (more or less) also i really want to make a video about how though is my bot but i will be away from home until next Wednesday
  12. PKW
    Well 180g are quite good, i'm familiar with 2k rpm but ~80-100g even if your bot is bigger and heavier I would really love to fight it with my witch doctor
  13. PKW
    Sorry @Milan information topic link in voting topic lead to tc9 why? Also we should vote independently from category? For example I can vote all 6 for cat a or cat b and or whether I want or we should give 6 votes for A and 6 for B?
  14. PKW
    I think there is nothing against doing it in the entry discussion topic but entry topic is locked so also editing replies is forbidden (but wait Milan reply)
  15. PKW
    That happens because extended mode allow all the color for all the parts and displaying them all will be too chaotic, so yo need to filter them by colors (and what happen is basically that you change colors for all the inventory bricks) @Marxpek about the hubs, i might give a try to see how they fit, it you have idea you can try it on the file and then i'll try to build it ;)
  16. PKW
    mhh i don't know, my bot is powerful but i know most of this forum members vote on appearance as for the file, it is ok just not being colored it was a bit painful to figure out where you used 3l connector and where 2l ones ahahah, for next time i suggest you to choose colors, on the bottom left, at the startt and then use C tool (it copies selection but is works exactly like the standard one that you can use with V) to copy already colored bricks so you have to change color only one time for each different type of brick. oh and my replica was quite accurate! i tested it with these wheels and was really fun to play with, but i also have a question, why you haven't used portal hubs (without gearing)?
  17. PKW
    Good! Tomorrow i'll be back to home and check if my replica was enough accurate, also planning to buy some of those big wheels because I found them unique and I may get the parts to build a complete replica
  18. PKW
    Try an old motorcycle wheel in between, rubber it is heavier than just plastic, but i'm not sure if you have room
  19. PKW
    Well I was inspired by the old robot wars series, counting that usually my bots are not more tall than 9-10cm and that there is a pit for ramming/pushing bot I decided to use that measurement, also there are different arenas (even without pit or totally enclosed arena) so I was talking about mine I don't have xlereion wheels (but I have sbrick) and they are the only ones that fit good, I also don't have enough parts for the second hammer :( But yes I don't want to post anything that regards any battle between entries, because this contest rules say "they are not meant to really fight" so it would be like chaeting, no matter the outcome xD
  20. PKW
    I really like this bot and how it is built, but i think that those photos don't show its actual size (especially for who doesn't have those wheels as reference). I think that being so big (i've built it) mean that its hits are quite powerful and can damage a good percentage of the other competitors, what i don't like is how pieces in the hammer are forcing and bending themselves, there is any way to build it in a more TLG approved way? also this thing is really fast, hard to control bot never performed well, but you have the theoretical advantage of sbrick and maybe a gamepad so you have jus to train your driving skill xD
  21. PKW
    it can't throw your bot over the box, but arena wall is just 4cm high so that wouldn't be a problem
  22. PKW
    i would fear its grabbing axe more than what you do also don't forget what happens if my bot faces light opponents:
  23. PKW
    You'll get near no me, I have only to wait xD also yes will be for sure a nice battle, I will build your bot and make it next weekend hopefully (not in the sumo arena) do you have some digital file and or the strict program? Also are you using a game pad or the app itself? PS: i'm currently building a robot wars like arena (inspired by the old series so with a small external wall and a covered pit that can be "activated" but if we have to fight in a flat surface o think you will win 100% because of my bot consuming battery faster ahahahah I don't think we can damage too much each other Oh and I really want to knowhow a goodget between your bot and Mr cuddles will end
  24. PKW
    Thanks! For what I can say about an ideal fight, your not has a really high ground clearance and small footprint, so it can be easily flipped by mine (yes it is invertible but don't forget that robots cam be thrown out of the arena of in the pit and this is what my robot does mainly), but you have so many hammers that even without aiming (the most difficult thing for twachbot) you could hit a receiver and maybe disconnect some motor wire from it (they are thoughly hold but who knows) also robot contact is mainly ruled by luck so I give myself a 70% chance of winning ;) I also like a lot your build and how chaotic it is, it the random prize should be given to the most unique entry I would pick up you!
  25. PKW
    You make me regret not to have used omni wheels, but unfortunately the fact that they are not perfectly round reduces pushing power a lot, the overall design looks cool but I don't think all those weaponary will be effective on a real bot... You sure have a point for defense and mechanical complexity, just a question, can your arm work as a self right?
