While I like the design, the wedge looks pretty ugly. Try to fix that up if you can. Also an actual skin would be nice.

Skinned + new wedge

Not made a proper skin yet

You are a seriously underrated builder, keep up the good work.

I like the use of sledgehammers on the second one

There are no sledgehammers IIRC

I thought those DSL bars on the side were sledgehammers

My sight is failing... Because i am short sighted

So am I...
Forgot to mention, it moves very quickly, possibly too quickly. It does help with getting some power behind a weapon strike, though.

Haven't posted in this for a while...
I've been thinking of entering the Tokyo Olympic Tournament and I've made my LW. Just wondering, what are the best drive motors for BWs and do you have any tips on building them?
100th post coming up soon and I don't want it to be a pointless post. I may wait a while until I have something worthwhile to post.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 18, 2013, 04:12:20 PM »

Really the best motors for beetleweights depend on what kind of bot you're making, though I will say for an HS or VS I'd recommend Astroflights.

"bawwww i'm badnik and no one likes nor understands me on this forum"

no actually you are right, af's are just fine for HS/VS BW.

Beetleweight motors... depends of what your bot needs. Generally anything heavier than a TWM3 is completely overkill. TWM3 is for fast rammers, mostly.
Slimbody is the best motor overall I believe.
astroflight or copal for things that have heavy weapons. You may get randomly immobilized though.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #30 on:** September 18, 2013, 07:03:32 PM »

i prefer copals for HS and astros for VS. considering the BW for RA2O:T is IRL though, i would recommend a astro or even a slimbody if you want it to roll around at the speed of sound and wreck some nerds.

My 100th post was a celebration elswhere...
BW:

Effective, on those few occasions when it doesn't Havok, but I can't see why it does. (and a typo on the splash!) Still deciding on a country, possibly GB. Would you call IRL?

helloface · « **Reply #32 on:** September 23, 2013, 06:39:31 PM »

Looks great. I don't really have any improvement suggestions

Havoking problem is becoming more frequent. I've come to the conclusion that it's something to do with the weapon because when I took it off it was completely fine. I also tried a weapon set up with a small drum, two 20x40 DSL bars and two medium beater bars, same problem

helloface · « **Reply #34 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:17:19 PM »

Hmm... That's odd.

Oh well, lets just call it an art bot.

ty4er · « **Reply #35 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:22:28 PM »

its because of how small it is, and because of the wedge/hinge. that many axles on such a small bot isn't a good idea. you can either make it wider or get rid of the wedge (which would probably mean you would have to make it bigger anyway, but it would look better)

anyway, i don't really like it being called irl, because its clearly trying to be somewhat effective whilst compromising the looks or other things. make it look better and i'll be happier.
also you can replace the baseplate anchor with a raised multiextender, which you can then rotate if you want.

akshaylan · « **Reply #36 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:28:36 PM »

Is it possible to angle the motor forward with a multi-extender? or do you mean just keep the weapon flat?

helloface · « **Reply #37 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:31:50 PM »

Yes, if you attach it on the side of the ME.

akshaylan · « **Reply #38 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:35:22 PM »

only slightly e.g 45 degrees. Would I need a flipper maker/angle extender thing?

helloface · « **Reply #39 on:** September 24, 2013, 02:36:21 PM »

Nope.
