Yeah, remove 1 ant and 4 of the panels, that should free up more weight for weapons
(you only need 4 panels to mount enough weapons)

This is going into the realms of removing choice.
8 panels give better all round protection and allow for 8 low flailing razors for anti-wedgeness.

I agree, if you have weight for it and it doesn't hinder the bot any way why remove it? I always try to build LW Sheck Spinners with a full shell.

@Vertigo: Yeah with 4 batteries, 8 pannels and 8 weapons with 8 flails and the lightest armor, it weighed 250.9KG, making it a middle weight. So I'm getting rid of 1 Ant battery and 4 pannels. How do you connect 8 weapons on 4 pannels? I know tha you can put 2 flails on 1 pannel, but is that what you mean?

Yes, so one on top of the other.
Get the basics done, then try making the smallest chassis possible.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 21, 2011, 02:46:28 PM »

The Final Product. Hopefully. Barely any chassis room left over.

Good, what weight and armour?
Also, this is FSS chassis micro management (Notice the almost "L" shape):

If weight allows you, place a polycarb or carbon fiber extender on top of the shell to serve as self-righting mechanism.

*facepalm*
I knew I forgot something, it's more anti-immobilisation though.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 21, 2011, 02:59:22 PM »

@Squirrel_Monkey: It only weighs 243.7 and it has 8MM Plastic armor. I'm not sure what to do with the extra weight. And I couldn't really see the L shaped chasis but it looks like your would crush mine lol. What armor do you use and what motors?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #29 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:02:37 PM »

The bots I posted were just to demonstrate the chassis.
Titanium 1 is most commonly used, less for more weapons (al/plas 1) or more for fighting popups (Plas 3)
Normal Mag motors are most common, some extreme ones use 2-mags.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #30 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:10:13 PM »

ok cool. Um what is the best self-righting device to put on the top of the shell?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:14:54 PM »

^I think he means, Carbon fiber extender. Either 20cm or 40cm depending on how much weight is left.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #32 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:27:40 PM »

@Larrain: I tried that on my first bot, but it just spun around. I tried 20 and 40CM aluminum extenders but that didn't seem to do the trick.

@Squirrel_Monkey: I tried a 60CM Carbon fiber extender and my bot just spun around like a top lol. It was fun to watch but didn't invert itself. I'll try 20 and 40CM right now.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #33 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:30:35 PM »

It won't self right it, only help it stop being counted out.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #34 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:35:48 PM »

I can if it's lucky. Works better with an asymmetrical chassis.

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:41:40 PM »

Oh ok, well it succeeded at that anyways. Thanks a bunch. Here's the FINAL PROJECT!!!

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:42:40 PM »

@Larrain: Yeah it sure was fun to watch :D

Reier · « **Reply #37 on:** January 21, 2011, 03:48:51 PM »

Flails do better if they're rotated 90 degrees from what you've got :P

dahpretzel1 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 21, 2011, 04:03:59 PM »
