Just not sure how. I can take the flipper segment protecting the chassis off, the that'd give me 3 kg XD so unless i stuck the segment onto the other side of the axle, i'm not sure what to do with it.

Oh, and Aluminum armour could be exchanged for plastic or tite.

cephalopod · « **Reply #262 on:** February 16, 2010, 07:42:29 AM »

The Alu could be changed to 5mm Plastic (which weighs 2 more kg... so I wouldn't have any weight to work with protecting the perm)

EDIT: Unless you say downgrading the armour might help?

I dunno. People seem to say that Plastic and Tite are better. https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Naryar%27s_DSL_tips

if your running

5mm alu > 5mm Plastic
3mm alu > 3mm Plastic

I think the point is there isnt a huge advantage in protection but there is a noticeable difference in weight

I see.

Hugged off, fridged off, yeah, protection might be helpful.

Im sure there is someone right now wondering what the

happened in that tournament ? :P

Yeah.

3mm Alu = FAIL

G.K. · « **Reply #269 on:** February 16, 2010, 08:50:27 AM »

^^My point exactly^^

Wouldn't it have a slight problem turning because the chassis is angled so far back? If you could rotate the parts (which wouldn't be hard to do because everything is attached to an ME) it might drive better.

Seems to turn fine, and rotating the parts is a lot of hassle, but I could do it. And might. :P

Wow. Haven't put anything in here in a long time. And I'm about to drop a bomb of new bots. Must be about 10 here XD I'll spoiler tag them all so this isn't the longest post on earth ever.

Feedback probably decides what I can improve and/or sent into NAR AI. One of these is my BBEANS 6 entry.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #273 on:** May 16, 2010, 10:17:37 AM »

the last one... the little teeth kinda render the big ole hammers useless until that break :P

cephalopod · « **Reply #274 on:** May 16, 2010, 10:19:22 AM »

Meh, I didn't know what to do with it XD the teeth might actually have a higher DP (I think) so the teeth are just like damage on top of what the hammers can do... I think. I can't even remember making it tbh :')

Use NpcFasts for the torque reaction hammer.

Why do you wish to know? :P

I was only causing intrigue, it may not actually be there at all... :P

DP (sorry)

Just worked on the torque reaction idea, along with something I was inspired to do from Wham's lastest thread in DSL Ideas

I used the 220kg wedge because if it was too light, it'd be flung around with the rest of the bot. I guess the bot is a bit like the bot whose wedge it is.

That is really cool Craaig. Bot Exchange please?
