IMO the face spinner ruins it

Looks cool besides

Looks fantastic. Very nice looking robot there. =] Maybe if the FS had smaller weapons, such as Shark/Hypno teeth or Small Beater Bars, that might look a bit better.

OH GOD I LOVE YOUUUU

Useless face spinner is useless.

Your HS extender setup is also crap, to be honest.

It's not meant to be...*sigh* ...It's meant to be realistic. It's not meant to be a super mega ultra killer bot, it's meant to be the sort of bot you'd see in Robot Wars.

I do actually agree with nar with the extender work.

but i do like it.

Do you try to ruin everything?

The face spinner looks almost like an after burner. You should totally add a rear flamethrower to complete the affect.

While I do make these for the Robot Wars vibe, and for the aesthetic appeal of them, rather than outright, absolute efficiency and effectiveness, I am not above recieving help with fundamentals such as extender work.

Your homework then, if anyone can suggest a better setup for the main spinner, either a better setup, or more 'efficient', then please say so. Below is an image of changes i've made based on the comments here, and the height you have to work with.

NFX · « **Reply #210 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:44:00 PM »

I think it actually looks pretty good. If you can't get the spinner lower to the ground without it mucking up the steering, then I'd keep it like that. I still think the FS on the back would look a little better with shorter weapons, though.

SKBT · « **Reply #211 on:** June 10, 2011, 04:58:14 PM »

I had an idea

This is the lowest setup I could make that didn't touch the ground.

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #212 on:** June 10, 2011, 05:35:42 PM »

The only problem with that setup is that the Perm motor is mounted upside down, so the spindle is much lower to the bottom of the chassis. But thanks for helping :)

I love how you always come up with a new paintjob :)

You mean EFFICIENT, right ? Because the "sort of bot you see in Robot Wars" sure as

were realistic.

Too bad you can build IRL-style bots AND be reasonably efficient at the same. I am very aware this is not built to be a killer, but just look at that extender setup. It's messy and unneccesarily heavy.

Anyways DSC, you can save weight by just putting a 120cm bar so the hypno teeth are even flatter to the ground and you get 9.4 kg more IIRC.

9.4 kg that can be used to make that bot even better, in aesthetics or in combat efficiency.

He tried a DSL Bar, and the spinner messed up the steering for some reason, so he had to use the complicated method there to get it as low as possible without affecting the steering too much.

123savethewhales · « **Reply #216 on:** June 11, 2011, 11:12:33 AM »

Just use an anchor point for the flag instead of the multi + angle thing. The motor can go on it's own multi instead.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #217 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:01:27 PM »

I still think it would look better without the face spinner.

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #218 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:27:24 PM »

No fancy skin this time, but I wanted to experiment with flippers, and try something different. Wanted to try something similar to a Biohazard/Ziggy style lifter, but something that can pack a damaging punch too. Hence this is what I ended up with

Of course it's going to utterly fail against certain bot types, but i'm satisfied with it being a successful attempt at an uncommon RA2 flipper-type.

madman3 · « **Reply #219 on:** June 13, 2011, 03:29:07 PM »

If you fixed the flipper arm setup that would be even cooler.
