I thought JPG's were okay to use as well around here...

JPG's mess them up a bit, PNG's do much better.

Why do his JPGs take eons to load anyway? Just wondering...

Screencaps+not resizing= 3.75MB pics... whoops.

I'll be resizing them. Also, new pics coming soon...

(edit: whee hee effups!)

Now, for the remod:

The insides:

Changes:
-Downgrade to Plastic 3 Armor, 120cm Polycarb panels on the sides, and 20x160 DSL Bar
-Upgrade to Tornado Mer (Quad Mag) Gearbox

Weight's closer, but something still seems a bit... off.

HAHAHAHAHA

It's too slow (and not wedgy enough) to get a bot on the wedge and be efficient.

Pwnator · « **Reply #68 on:** January 25, 2010, 04:43:26 AM »

Downgrade the rear stabilizers to polycarbonate and add a metal hinge wedge in the front. Try to be weight-conservative on the side stabilizers as well so you can upgrade the drive.

It took a while (classes and the like), but here's my new robot, Private Eyes:

The insides:

The stats:
Weight: 247.3 kg (LW)
Weapon: 4x Razor Tips on 2x Small DSL Discs, powered by 2x Piglet Motors
Other outside weapons: 80cm Polycarb frontal skirt, 80cm Polycarb back piece to keep robot from flipping (also, Extra Small multi-extender)
Motors: 2x Slimbodies
Wheels: 2x Tornados
Power: 4x Ants
Armor: Plastic 3

Ideas to possibly make this better:
Taking out a battery, shortening the front skirt to 40 cm, changing Razor Tips to Irons, (if possible) changing motors to Whyachi Drives

So do any of you have any thoughts or questions on this?

(edit and PS: Before you ask "What happened to Drazah?", I'm still tooling around on it; it's been upgraded to T-64's for Drives and also has a few other upgrades to it; I may have it up before Sunday, but no guarantees.)

I like it, play around with the setup and see if you can get more weapons on. I think 3 ants would be good but I'm not sure.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #71 on:** February 11, 2010, 03:50:28 PM »

IMO that only needs 3 ants. Replace the 2 razors with 4 small DS teeth.

How many damn times i've told you that 1 spin motor = 1 ant ???

Actually, I already tested that earlier (when I was changing things over to Iron Spikes originally). It isn't horrible, but it does start to not work as effectively with about 45 seconds left on a 3 minute clock.

i like private eyes

COOLRUNNER87 · « **Reply #75 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:20:52 PM »

Update on Private Eyes:

The insides:

Changes:
-Front skirt reduced to 40cm polycarb
-Removed back stabilizer (worried about this)
-Changed weapons to 8x Small DS Teeth

So, should I change anything up? It does have a rather exposed rear, and I fear that I can be beaten the crap out of that way.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #76 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:37:34 PM »

Don't worry about the exposed rear, AI bots don't attack that way anyway.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #77 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:37:47 PM »

for some reason I think those wheels could be valnurable.....

The Ounce · « **Reply #78 on:** February 16, 2010, 03:39:22 PM »

You have the weight to upgrade to a metal hinge wedge, and I think Vlads would be better here.

Nary's gonna be pissed when he sees that you cloned one of his bots, but don't worry; most builders start out cloning other bots.

...wait...

Yeah when I saw that I thought,"OMG Silver Star 2!"
