How do you put motors and stuff outside the body of a bot? I can't ever do it but it would be apparent you can do that somehoe.

baseplate anchors are a good start for beginners. attach an extender to your baseplate anchor going outside the robot and put the motor on then.

its pretty easy to get motors and stuff outside, you should look at showcases and the beetlebros site for tips.

Did you even try it first?

Baseplate Anchors
Burst Motors
Servos
Other Motors.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

actually i did, but i didn't know about using an extender on a anchor or base plate and then the motor. my game doesn't have instructions and the tutorials don't work for some reason but the rest of the game does so i have to ask dumb questions alot. im sorry.
