I'll probably just enter SZF or CH. SZF most likely.

SZF eh?

Although I like Rear-Hinged Flippers... FOREVER!

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

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

It's probably going to be curtains for him after that though. Cutie Honey will take over the flipping duties and Killobite needs a makeover badly.

It's really odd, though. Since the competitions on FRA are based off of Robot Wars, I have a massive amount of heavyweights, but not too many of the other classes. Which is why Troubloon and Jinx (both HWs on FRA) got scaled down here. :lol:

Recently I've been thinking about giving The Servant's Assistant a major redesign. While it has had many successes, it has many glaring weaknesses that I seriously needed to address. For one, it was the perfect snack for ANY spinner in the division's it's fought it. The wedge was insanely steep, making it difficult to even carry an enemy across the arena. It's sides were also a weakness, they were really flat and had no wedge protection, so bots that got to his sides (AKA Pyrite) easily exploited this to beat him. So I went back to the drawing board and thought of a design. I was going to clone it off of Killdozer in it's Battlebots 5.0 guise, but in the midst of the paint pic, without realising it, I got this instead...

I am extremely happy with this outcome, the bot should be able to deal with most, if not all adversaries that cross it's path. Sticking with Good old four wheel drive, this bot has side protection thanks to to the wedges (In yellow) This should prevent rammers and other wedges from diving in underneath. The flipper is now red to prevent confusion with the old stripy colour that confused a lot of people. Both red sections and the silver bit at the front are the wedge. Hopefully TSA 2 will be able to take the crown, seeming as TSA 1 should be set to fail.

What does everybody think?

I think it looks great. I'm wondering how it'd look if it were CADed. Are the black parts part of the flipper as well, or is that just the sides of the bot? Are the yellow wedges static?

Thanks for the comments guys :D

@NFX To answer your questions, the front yellow wedge (Next to the flipper) are static, but the side yellow wedges are hinged to prevent bots getting underneath. And the black part is supposed to be the top of the actual robots chassis, it aint a part of the flipper.

I too have been wondering what it would look like CADed, if you want to take a crack at it, go ahead :)

Actually I don't think that it's possible for the front yellow wedge to be hinged at all. I'm pretty sure the side yellow wedge could be hinged reguardless of how you consider the black part, but I'm leaning towards thinking that the black part is part of the side.

EDIT: Lian beat me to answering things, but I was right! :D

Wow. Fuck Maya. Such complicated bullshit. I've messed the .ma file about 10 times already...

I'm exporting Xianghua IV to my desktop computer and finishing it there. Rhino 3D ftw...

Planning a fourth WhipCoil in my head right now. All I'll say is that is will be a complete redesign of the machine.

Well, I might actually have a redesign for Wedginator... but it won't be called that anymore. I think that nomenclature as run its course.

I'll work on it at school, if there's any time to. :P

Since Wedginator sported crocodile traits, I was thinking of giving the new bot an acronym name like C.R.O.C.O. :v:
