Author Topic: Titanium Halfsheets? (Read 1230 times)

moonbear · « **on:** July 18, 2009, 12:56:44 AM »

I have a bot, similar to The Ounce's DSL hw HS, the one with the hammers. Excellent space managment, everything looks great. Problem is, when i hit another bot, it sets me off balance, and I do something akin to the Mauler Dance. Now, I know my issue is the lack of stabalizers on the side, like what The Ounce's hw hs has in its newer incarnations. I have the weight for a Ti Halfsheet to attack to the bottom of my bot, and the halfsheet even "jumps" onto the underside of my bot, like it wants to attach, but it stays red. no matter what I do, how i move or rotate it, it will not let me attach it. And yes, I have the right connection point selected..... Any idea whats wrong? It does this on every bot I build. I even made a giant box just to see if it was that I needed more space on the bottom... Still wouldnt work. How do I fix this? Anyone having a similar issue? Thanks.
Edit- Pulsar. Thats The Ounce's hw hs.

If the chassis is too low, it won't attach. If you can place a vertical battlepack on your bot, then you can attach a halfsheet.

Ahhhhh crap. Hm, anyone know if a couple skirt hinges and skirts would work if used with similar placement?

Made a chassis jussssst high enough to fit/attach a vertical battlepack inside (took me a few tries to get it just right). Standing straight up, not on its side. Still couldnt attach a Ti Halfsheet to my underbelly. Sure you arent a bit off with that?

Whoa. That never happened to me before. Hmmm... then I'm not really sure about that. Upload a screenie so we might tell what's wrong.

I would love to, thing is, this is the clubhouse computer. I only use it for internet. Mine at home is the one with RA2 on it. So, till i pick up a flash, no screenshots. Thanks for the advice though man. I'll see if they attach with a super tall novilty chassis.

Maybe theres something in the way (Wedge, Weapon, Wheel)
Metal Hinge goes straight through the chassis, Passing over the underside of the bot, If thats whats happening.. Then you can move the Metal Hinge till its outside the chassis.. Then when it goes down, It wont annoy you :P
