Anyways here's the thing that i built:

(Image removed from quote.)

Designed to be the prototype of an invertible Sentinel Observer - it sucks because of plastic armor, but i'm going to rebuild it possibly with 6 razors.


Wait, are those motors chained together? If you could show me how you did that, that would be awesome.

If I'm right it's 3 extenders set up to make an equilateral triangle. In other words 60 degrees between each of the extenders, using the attachment points on the side.

That'd work too, however I think he's only using 2 extenders somehow... the closest I got to that was with a T connector.

could you not use the side of the extender coming off the first motor to face the next extender straight down and have them chained that way?

You can, but they won't stack very well. Usefull if you have problem with the rule of 7, but can be a problem if you want to make it invertible.

the pics i see have extenders coming up then one coming off the end of it, I'm suggesting that they use the side and get the 2nd motor to go down into the first one.

that would allow you to use more weapons (2 weapons on each extender coming from the tribar).

Can anybody show me the setup of how to get the motor so close, or make a vid, because I frankly just can't tell how you guys are doing it.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

@SB: There is already a vid on page 3.

Here is what I made, I decided to go straight for 2 motors. Its a little shaky but it doesnt start gyrodancing until it has lost most of the weapons. Also this is very underweight as I was making it a HW, it weights 530.6.
How I put this together?
HPZ-tec-> T Extender -> 1 20cm round extender downwards from both ends -> HPZ-tec on both extenders -> Tribars -> Extenders on all ends -> 3 maces/extender on the tribars.
(btw, this is the first time I used maces on a HS)

Battleshot is VS SCv4 Predator, you cant see him in the pic because the final hit threw me away from him so fast that I couldnt get him in the picture.

YOURE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH

__________

SSG there's 5kg to win on your drive setup.

__________

Second try, with the tri extender now.



DSA, everything else is in the pic. (yeah the chassis looks like Spin Cycle i know)

Going to submit that to Starcore for Sentinel Observer SCv4 - after some more tweaking though, and maybe another version, cause it can't self right nor is invertible.

Here is the video from the previous post, I uploaded it to mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kmkz3umnywh

Also, when using this glitch combined with the effe glitch sometimes even after I go to the garage and back, exit out of the game, etc... the collision boxes for the weapons are still floating out in space where I placed them if I turn it on with f12.
