No he is just renaming his pictues into png, it doesnt work like that!
His pictures are .png.bmp

If you open up the picture in a new window you will notice that it says on the adress bar that its .png but on the window name bar it says BMP picture.

Sorry I haven't been on as of late. For your troubles, here's a new robot that's bound to be a pet project of mine. Gentleman, Kurt Rambis:



The innards:


The stats:
-Plastic 3 Armor
-NPC T-64 motors with 2 Vlads
-6 Iron Spikes on 2 Skirt Hinges
-2 Ant Batteries
-2 Baseplate Anchors (having some issues with getting multi-extenders to do their job)
-2 80cm Aluminum Extenders

I admit, there's a boatload of open room and not much in the way of weaponry, but this is a 1st draft. So, any advice on making the unsung hero of the '80s LA Lakers into a meaner, leaner fighting machine?

Why are you building vertically here ? That's pointless efficiency-wise and weight-wise.


Excellent choice of weapon extender work, however.

Trying for a "off the beaten path" design, to be perfectly honest.

Now, for an update on Kurt Rambis:

New outer:


New inner:


Upgrades:
-Reduced chassis size exponentially by getting rid of odd angle chassis
-Changed Aluminum extenders connecting to wheels for 20x80 DSL Bar
-Downgraded drive to TWM Drive Edition (having problems with upgrading to NPC's since they don't want to connect properly to the bar)
-Upgraded armor to Tite 10 (OOOOOOOOOOOOOVERKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!)

Obviously, I need to upgrade my drive and possibly downgrade the armor. Any suggestions on how to do both?

You could create a "U" shape Out of extenders and connect the motors on the tips of the "U" shape.

Man, it has been a while since I last posted in here. Now, to show you my modifications to 2 different versions of my BBEANS6 entry, Kurt Rambis.

First up is KR Armored:


Changes from last time:
Downgraded Armor to Tite 3
Changed back work to a 40cm Aluminum extender and 20cm Aluminum extender (20cm was needed for next item)
Added 20x80cm DSL Bar to protect wheels from back attack
Added 2 Iron Spikes to sides to serve as armor/damage (made mention of this on BBEANS6 Signup page)

Second up is Kurt Rambis 2:

Changes from last time:
Downgraded Armor to Plastic 3
Changed back work to 2x 60cm Tite extenders
Upgraded drive to NPC Normal
Also added 2x Iron Spikes to side for armor/damage

Of course, both need more work. For instance, KR Armored needs armor on the top and bottom of the robot (to combat robots like Bisector) and I probably need to change up the drive train of KR2 so that it isn't nearly as exposed. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Use smaller extenders for KR2, 40 cm is enough.

I will likely do that, but what should I do with the extra 8 kg of weight? Add a baseplate to protect myself?
